Same here! We should have an e-coffee or something. I'm currently building my second indie project. I would love to compare notes

In my experience, full body sports (krav maga in my case) are the exception here. It's super easy to stay lean if you eat normally and do this kind of thing. My explanation for thi…

This is exactly why this thread is full of slightly insecure comments making vague predictions. I'd suggest to most of them to get off HN and back to work, now is the time to make …

Ah, but that is not what he wrote. He never claimed the toilet was broken because he was broke, but due to bad organisational skills. He then used the story to illustrate the fact …

anecdote incoming! In my previous gig, we had a premium website hosting platform, and our incoming clients would usually want their old inbound links to keep working. Over time, th…

This is one of the reasons why I chose Purescript for my team's projects. Also it's got a more complete type system, a simpler FFI, and compiles to less javascript. This is not to …

I think https://purescript-users.ml is running on Discourse. It's quite young though.

This is actually a very good idea. Time is the one asset we all have. Community service is also a good idea, but it lacks the immediacy of both fines and your suggestion.

I don't subscribe to this at all. I think that the better explanation is that the people who are negotiating with the EU are, almost to a man, convinced EU-philes (for want of a be…

I also use Pass. It integrates great with git, so you can store your password database anywhere, and sync on demand with `pass git pull`. Also by using GPG as an encryption mechani…

One assumes. I am not sure that that would be the case. I remember when my non-tech friends only had email and maybe MSN and their passwords were not secure in any way, even for th…

As do I. But I would love to see the stats on the active account (used by a real person) vs active account with 2-factor ratio on GMail. I'm willing to bet the takeup is fairly low…

Gentoo here, since 2003. At work, until a couple of months ago I was using Windows Server 2008. I'm looking for a new job, not entirely coincidentally.
