I like the About page explaining the motivation and how it's different. If you want to get ahead of the curve, filters for 4 and 3 day work weeks would be very cool.

I like: 1. The Neocities random page: https://neocities.org/browse?sort_by=random 2. The Neocities recently updated page: https://neocities.org/activity 3. Status Cafe: https://sta…

My first question to any programming question is, "can I reasonably solve this with awk?" exactly for its ubiquity. I stick to the POSIX standard for the reasons you note: https://…

I think that's a good strategy.

It was mostly accidental: first, I took a 3 month leave of absence to explore a midlife crisis. I came back announcing I'd like to go half-time to do a masters degree which my comp…

I also suspect ruthless prioritization is my main driver of increased productivity.

Probably, yes, but I suspect that it's so hard to find this arrangement (20 hours per week, full benefits, and still very good pay despite it being 50% of total), that I'm just ver…

I'm working 1/2 the time (7 hours Monday & Tuesday, and 6 hours Wednesday), and, yes, it even surprised me that my total productivity is about the same as when I worked 40 hours pe…

I didn't mean to give the impression that I was boasting or that I bring this up with him or my management, but just that there's a somewhat objective relative measurement that sho…

I've been doing a 20-hour 3 day work week (50% of total pay) for a few years now and I love it. I'm outperforming a full-time colleague in total output. Edited to add that the 3 da…

From what I can find, CARTO does not have a free map tile server. In other words, while it technically works, I think it's against their terms of service. They probably don't care …

What is the misconception? That paged you linked to says that map tiles are free for use with a few reasonable restrictions: Clearly display license attribution, normally in the bo…

"made no sense" from a narrow, CVE announcement perspective, but Maxim disagrees from another perspective: > [F5] decided to interfere with security policy nginx > uses for years, …

I'm curious why you're using a commercial tile provider -- CARTO -- instead of OpenStreetMaps?

I was surprised at the poor quality of serviceability given its enterprise deployment with k8s. No thread dumps without killing the process (or writing a SIGUSR1 handler). No heapd…

I'm earning half my previous salary, and I'm single, so it was definitely an adjustment. I had heard about the 30 hour per week cutoff for benefits, but I was surprised that my com…

I'm a senior software engineer, but, yes, there are lots of complexities. 3 day work weeks might only work for top performers, but a lot of them never ask.

I've had a 3 day work week for years (at 20 hours per week) and I love it. I feel like I'm more productive than before, too. Not just productivity per hour, but total productivity.…

That is an absolutely amazing video. From a brief, intuitive, and well-diagrammed explanation of non-trivial concepts of queuing theory, to practical examples, to connecting it all…

No news yet; however, one of the other HN comments suggested creating a new Firefox profile using about:profiles and that seems to have worked (whereas clearing cache/cookies didn'…
