    Just to consider the opposite viewpoint, I sometimes wonder if it's not better that they do churn in that case. Assuming the sales team is doing their job properly, there are other…

    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…

    Absolutely. I was leading a team a while ago and I instituted this practice to good effect. Conversely, I was called by a company that I had built an app for previously. They had n…

    I also came here to say this. Structured concurrency gets rid of these types of problems.

    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…

    It seems to me like nix fits all of those criteria.

    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…

    Of course, missed that somehow. With that out the way, this is really interesting stuff, although some people may end up with crowded inboxes.

    Doesn't this mean that an attacker now only needs the password to the email account and all these passswordless services get compromised as well?

    "The majority of French noblemen were cruel drunks." The feodal system held together for about a thousand years in France. Give them a tiny bit of credit. Also, insulting generalis…

    Thanks, I was wondering whether Linus shouldn't get help for depression or something. Well played on the part of the OP.

    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.

    One of my teachers was in the French Foreign Legion and he told me that in a fight one should aim to inflict maximum pain and damage as fast as possible. Needless to say, my classw…

    I'm not going to set my own behaviour up as an example here, which is something that I think invalidates the OP's point, at least partially, and certainly obscures it, but I have a…

    Thomas Macdonald, I live in France, but am British. I know C++ and C on Linux, Java, PHP, and JavaScript but I love learning new languages so have touched on Python, Clojure, bash,…
