Yeah, this type of thing makes me sad. It's a good idea and the work behind it is interesting, but there's something magic about a human voice. It deadens me a little bit reading t…

I think you're being a bit harsh here. Yes, the blog is mostly about AI, and yes, he publishes very frequently. But his articles don't read like AI and he claims not to have used i…

Ignoring the preference of people generally wanting to live in HCOL areas, this only works if every company hires equally from LCOL areas. One of the benefits of living in a HCOL a…

Do you mind sharing a little more about the plugin you use? A quick online search wasn't very helpful to me but I've also been hoping for something like this.

Well, the GP mentioned > if it’s a solo greenfield project which is a pretty large caveat. Anecdotally, I've found my side projects (which are solo greenfield projects, and don't n…

Adding to the review thread: I bought a Framework 13 in 2021. I'm sold on the ideal, I really like the chassis and the keyboard, and I _love_ the screen ratio. I replaced several p…

I'm curious if this site actually uses AI in some form or if it's just the hot TLD at the moment. There's no mention of AI on the page itself.

Another assumption that bothers me here is that the $9M in revenue would be completely lost during an outage. I imagine many customers would simply wait until the outage was resolv…

The author sort of alludes to it at the end of the article when they mention that Gen-Xers' expectations are even more tempered than Boomers' expectations about what it takes to su…

This seems pretty clickbaity to me. There's very little content and no specific personal experiences discussed. What types of companies did you have better luck with? How many empl…

The article mentions all of that content (though without those links). Perhaps they changed it? It's a fastcompany domain now.

In addition to some of the other well-thought-out replies, much of the allure of streaming comes from live interaction, donations, chat, etc. Streaming to multiple platforms at onc…

Well, that's a highly-opinionated statement :P The serious answer is that Go is a reasonably well-supported language at GitHub, and C# isn't at the moment.

I like that too, but it's worth noting that Github (not sure about lab) allows you to disable these features (wiki, issues, etc.) with a checkbox on the repo's settings page.

You need 500 “karma” IIRC in order to gain the privilege.

There’s an easy way to find out if that’s true, and it’s to making a similarly successful solo project by yourself!

Is this a response from the company or are you putting it forth as an example response for how to handle this incident better? It’s unclear from your post.

IIRC they don't actually run anyone's cards until the project meets the goal, so refunding isn't an issue. Perhaps someone who's funded a Kickstarter more recently than me could co…

The two As are usually for Apple and Amazon. I think the shorter version of the acronym is just incorrect.

How did you do this? Does your bank have APIs you can code against? Did you use other (Paypal?) APIs?

Definitely. It's not indicative of any sort of quality, which naturally makes it fun to game! I randomized the amount of commits on each day so my graph has varying shades of color…

I only run a small one for kicks: it updates my github page with a dummy commit each day. They got rid of streaks, but I still leave it running out of some misplaced sense of senti…
