The link has a typo. It should point to: https://help.typepad.com/shutdown-faq.html

I just started to fill out a job application from the HN "Who's Hiring" thread, and it required a Loom video of me describing why I'd be a good fit for that specific position. The …

I think this is great at what it does. The only issue I have with it is the fact that if a targeted element is offscreen, it snaps to it instead of scrolls to it. Otherwise very, v…

RIP Flash

I miss being able to cast things to my Fire Stick. Like a lot.

Library of Congress?

Sure, but why wouldn't they get paid based on streams of their copyrighted materials, or some other payment scheme? I mean, hey, it was good enough for video stores in the 90's, ri…

That's pretty nitpicky. The DVD-burning is a hack to get around the lock-in, not their actual problem.

I really don't understand why everyone doesn't just offer all the movies all the time. These availability windows on shit is ridiculous. You wonder how pirates stay in business, it…

Seems like a lot of angry people in that thread, but I'm not sure what they expected?

Competitors offering you free stuff in public might be the future though. "Sky Media sucks? Move to Virgin Media and we'll give you 6 months free if you tweet that you did." I coul…

You mean... make software for the people who use it, not the people who make it?

Sure, menus and networking. Maybe loot distribution, level generation, etc. Not so much actual gameplay though. That does constantly get tweaked.

That was Abyss, not Siege, right? They were so ahead of their time with pretty much everything. Abyss was cool and all, but do you remember Santa's Slay?

Flash.

I'm not even talking about the consumption side of Flash. I'm just talking about the tooling for creating Flash content. Did you ever use Flash? It was incredible. Draw right there…

> the mission is to sell a widget, deliver a service or provide information But why? What about a site about art? What about a site about me? What if I don't want you to get "infor…

For a website that's about UX, the actual UX of trying to read each of their articles is actually infuriating. I don't want to scroll. Why isn't the definition next to the name?

I'm actually gonna have to go ahead and blame the demise of Flash for the current lack of interesting web design. I know there were technical reasons to get rid of it. Security. Mo…

I'm sure they mean "What's a bad work situation you were in, and how did you deal with it"

> At Dynamicland computing is social like cooking is social. It’s also physical like cooking is physical. You’re not seated in front of a single-person screen, but walking around a…

You were pursuing a passion project. You were getting to a point in your life where it might not be feasible to pursue it, and you'd regret it if you didn't, so you know what? You …

Middle class is really defined on what you can get for your money, not a raw dollar amount. Quality of life and all that.

So construction signs now need a QR code on them to provide guidance. Companies that work on the road like that are presumably regulated somehow, right?

It spells out Yellow, if you read the highlighted characters in order.
