I'm with you. I looked at that modal for a second or two and just decided not to read the article

I can't agree more, having had to jump through these unpaid hoops myself for no carrots. What is the "price of a line of code" again? Between $40 and $100? Maybe the crucial parts …

I think that the overall sentiment is "break code in intelligible chunks"? I also used to work on big commits but at some point switched more to branching and merging a lot, which …

IMO He's not questioning how serious covid is, he's just blind to how serious it is because he's part of a strata that is not really affected by it. Possibly, nothing has changed i…

That sounds a bit like the "unlimited vacation days" startup trope: you _can_ take as much as you want, but it comes with an invisible character tax that your manager will factor i…

I don't know anything about copyright law, but that seems dubious. If I type the domain of a "torrent sites/trackers with illegal content" on HN, are they on the hook because it's …

For me, this idea that time invested on your machine is time lost to the void... just doesn't add up. Like, at all. Shouldn't one of the point of honing your craft be to become int…

Getting 10 engineers to agree on how to implement a padding function is nearly impossible. Was there ever hope to get thousands to agree at something that front and center? There w…

Their ruling aligns with my own experience of committees and regulator: strict fundamentalist interpretations of made up rules that borders on the contrariant or lazy. The meta goa…

How is "public attitude" forcing the company?

Underpinning this (and similar announcements in other western economies) is the fact that in the last 4 to 8 years, most of the "new jobs" created have in fact been part-time. Just…

Once I bought a Casper mattress, king size, something like $800. Got in touch a few weeks later to return it, it was too big for me. They said here's your RMA, print it and send it…

Not buying into this sort of conspiracy theory myself, but since I'm reading some Cixin Liu I'll indulge in some creative thinking. - This is pure fiction: Seeing this as an offens…

Interesting. Maybe it's a demographic blind spot? I do all of my UK banking on Transferwise, and so have heard of or researched Revolut, N26, Monzo... In fact, I think that both Mo…

Not on a personal note (and maybe there are details missing) but this comment makes me sad: it's like we've internalized the codes of capitalism to the point where we, as individua…

While I approve with the general direction of your comment, I think that characterizing Google merely as "a company" is disingenuous. Obviously it was not "just a job" for those wh…

When I saw that it required more than a 5m fix on my Lenovo I just accepted this as my new setup and committed to only using the trackpoint instead. Ironically, as a programmer the…

You should really check out https://greatescape.co/ I'm not sure if it's a startup or an MVP or a student project at this point, but it's the closest that I've come across
