Not OP and I don't, but I know a few people who are very active on LI with their daily self-promotion posts only barely disguised as thoughtful remarks about the industry and this …

I usually prefer to make a detailed plan for my trip, but I allow myself to break free from it anytime I find something more interesting to do. This way I'm more sure that I won't …

It sounds weird indeed, but maybe some higher-ups decided this is a way to go in case people need to be isolated again or when it's necessary to hire some remote coworkers who shou…

I use this default context in ChatGPT and it works pretty well for me: "Tell it like it is. Don't sugar-coat responses. Be concise. Short answers only. No bullet points. One paragr…

I still don't quite get it given I have never worked high enough or in a big enough corp. What kind of mission a person earning $19k a day have to do at the destination to justify …

> People never wanted to visit your website; they just wanted the information that your website held. Well, no. It is a boomer talk, but in the 90s the web was so fragmented and un…

Maybe he keeps more plates spinning ... in his side projects. Clearly, developers are expected to produce more results with LLMs and switch between contexts quickly. It shouldn't b…

God, those self-indulging posts on LI are the worst. Sometimes it feels like half of the world's compute is wasted on that.

I played it years ago and sorry, it didn't rock my world even for 5 minutes. It's a very naive story with a jump-scare sort of ending that totally didn't work for me, because it wa…

Cool, but unfortunately, it has the same same drawbacks as cash. If you get scammed, accidentally pay too much or lose your wallet you will never get it back. I sleep safer knowing…

IIRC BLIK asks you if you want to skip the verification next time you buy from the same merchant.

> * take home assignments where they say "we recommend you to not spend more than x hours on this", but then, they expect a very sophisticated work and will reject you if you turn-…

I'm in a similar age and career point and have similar feelings about my SE job atm. Can you share more about your transition to the researcher role? What field are you in, how did…

A friend of mine has lost access to his FB account due to malware. Is there a way to get hold of a human being who could help to retrieve it? He runs a couple of businesses that re…

I agree with you in general, but come on - learning is easier (unless you need to dive into highly specialized stuff), writing shorter chunks of code is faster, simple photo editin…

GitHub Releases link is broken. The dash in "off-grid" is missing.

A friend of mine owned a site once. At some point he couldn't figure out how to fix a frontend bug that appeared on IE only. In the end he was so pissed that instead of fixing the …

> 2. The writing system, which because it's not phonetic requires essentially the same level of effort as learning an entirely new language (beyond spoken Chinese). This is an inte…

This reminds of a person I read about on HN years ago - a Russian guy who escaped from the USSR jumping off a cruise liner and swimming a couple of days to Philippines. [0] https:/…

It could also explain why most of us can eat like pigs in all-you-can-eat buffets.

And it feels like half of the world's compute is wasted on those self-indulgent cringe posts now.

Semi-related opinion, but it really boggles me how people can be such a*holes to leave spam all over the internet and keep turning it into a cesspit. If a company does it in such a…

Back in my days this was called "trolling".
