This looks nicely polished and I might pay for this since it provides some real value but it has the same problem many other front-end SaaS products have - it hijacks the end user.…

Fine. Perhaps I shouldn't have said any nation, but Afghanistan is not a modern nation state. It's a time warp back to some era 1000 years ago with poorly run government theater th…

What's admirable about it? This is just a fiction that you Americans tell yourselves about the next revolution. Name one, just one way, that ease of gun ownership has protected Ame…

I don't know anything about the situation over there but did they really ban it? For example this bloomberg report talks about foreign ownership via holding companies. So are forei…

Doesn't it still exist in Quebec?

Hi there, nice site. I'm really like this combined side scrolling table + graph component you use on the pulse page. Looking at the source I see a mention of echarts in the html bu…

I don't know. I wish I fell for their scam back in 2009/2010 when they were flooding HN with bitcoin posts. There were so many it seemed coordinated.

I don't know if we should give Toyota any praise over their supply chain management. Consider the situation with their electric vehicles. The plug-in hybrid "rav4 prime" has a 2 ye…

Price Distribution by Year -- this is an interesting one. Looks like eventually there isn't a huge variance in price. So brands with "good resale value" probably don't matter if yo…

I run a hobby .net core website on a $5 digital ocean instance and it runs fast as hell. You definitively don't need to spend $30. I'm using a PG database but it looks like maybe i…

Can you explain the 5x difference between physical and virtualized benchmarks here: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r19&hw=...

This would certainly be convenient, however if your mailing lists contains a lot of old people then they forward your emails to their friends. Their friends who are annoyed by this…

My guess it's to counter those popular code-golf language comparisons that make c# look verbose for short apps.

Is leaving a country really that hard if you have a little money? Seems like something you should be able to do without the assistance of green berets unless you're in a movie. A c…

You'd think this was just an archaic relic but Bambora payment processing (which hasn't updated their site since uppercase HTML tags and framesets were a thing) has a userdir featu…

Thanks, I'll bookmark this. As a programmer with no design skills, I maintain a folder of screenshots from various SaaS apps that I find helpful whenever I need inspiration for lay…

In regular cmd.exe you can use "title xxx" to rename windows. Maybe this works in the terminal too?

Bots also regularly check for .git in common folders: 404 - GET /admin/.git/config 404 - GET /shop/.git/config 404 - GET /beta/.git/config etc.. or adhoc backups using the current …

I worked in a large call center and we used VNC to monitor the agents. This worked until one one of them figured out what the VNC tray icon color change meant - which meant they so…

That won't work for long. It will start offering suggestions of data that you have previously used on the "discourse" fields. On our CRM, Chrome is constantly offering to fill in d…

That's not saying much. Most of us don't understand most science behind anything outside of our limited specializations. These beliefs are manifestations of people's distrust of la…
