    I would NOT get tattooed for a job interview. I WOULD get tattooed for a JOB. Yes I'm that desperate. YES This is highly unethical.

    Interesting -- I thought OnePlus batteries were supposed to wear down LESS than other phones specifically because of their "High amp" charging technique versus "High voltage". Afte…

    That's why I said I'd suggest things. And of course I'd go along with strategic plans. Every company is different -- you'd be surprised at how many shitty [small] companies are out…

    I would say quantum computing. It's one area you can't just tell an LLM to solve for you (yet, until the material and solutions are out there of course).

    This is why I always work at a new company at least 6-12 months before making any major changes. I use that time to get into the flow of how things are being done (even if I think …

    Much respect -- at first glance when I saw the animated gif I thought this was just a project making assets from scratch for an existing game engine (e.g. Doom or Wolf 3D) but then…

    I count 5 based on that link. And only 2 are in USA, so my apologies, should have said "PHP + allowed to work in USA (remote/hybrid/onsite)". two is greater than zero, so hurray I …

    I don't have any proof but it sounds plausible; they also have an interactive button (does not require any login), so it could be that they rank the interactive event higher, but s…

    that sounds awesome. sad that something like that probably would not work well in USA. don't have the culture for it. too many pieces would get lost.

    This is a very good intro to systemd timers -- I think you convinced me to finally start using them. Love the "list-timers" thing as well. With cron, it never seemed easy to me to …

    that's nuts, unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem like those products are that mind blowingly complex... wow. Makes we want to try building my own for the hell of it. Down…

    I got "approve" wrong for `ls -la ~/Documents` but I don't consider simply listing the documents folder a security problem, it's just file names. If it was reading the CONTENTS of …

    I have not seen "PHP" listed as a language used in any Hacker News job posting in a very long time. Everything is Javascript/Typescript now, with the occasional Rust, C/C++, Golang…

    From "This whole thread is an overreaction. 302 comments about code that does not work. We haven’t committed to rewriting. There’s a very high chance all this code gets thrown out …

    yes absolutely -- although I did use Nvidia GTX 1070 for a bunch of years without much of an issue, and I still believe Nvidia gets you more "bang for your buck", I would only buy …

    Modding will continue to be a challenge, but doable, thing, until more mod devs get onboarded to Linux themselves. If the mod devs enjoy using Linux, they'll probably start buildin…

    That is honestly amazing and impressive. Probably a bit too much tweaking for the common gamer though, but glad it is possible!

    I grew up on the small 6 inch 1 bit Mac SE display so the art style has a special place in my heart. Sadly I'm too "dumb" to fully enjoy the game as it requires a lot of attention …

    I'm definitely not a "fan" of Facebook or anything, though I do use it and make a few interactions per day -- based on this blog post I think the reason why his dashboard was full …

    also, I would bet Linux desktop users are more likely to use an Adblocker or Brave browser, which actually block statcounter! Probably not enough to bump numbers significantly, but…
