Oh _that’s_ what paracetamol is! I’ve seen it in British shows and presumed it was some different chemical altogether! I’m one of the 700M speakers who only know it by acetaminophe…

OP, please try to enjoy each upvote equally.

Stripe just acquired LemonSqueezy

One of my recurring daydreams is that someone from a few hundred years ago is accompanying me in whatever mundane task I’m doing. When I’m driving, for example, I try to imagine wh…

Abusive? I know that HN has a very pro FOSS culture, which, with some users, seems to extend to the expectation that companies and products should exist out of the goodness of deve…

Ah, you had the knowledge to solve the problem using bash, but had not the wisdom to sit on the answer and surf the web until a plausible amount of time had passed :)

What makes you think that having the focus on the search box vs the code area in VSC constitutes a different mode in the same way as vim normal vs insert modes? You haven’t explain…

I have seen "homophonic antonyms" to describe this, but this is a new one! others: accepting/excepting; to raise/raze (a building) Some are also homographic antonyms! e.g. dust -- …

What’s your target for percentage of ancillary appointments that are accepted? I’m intrigued by the idea, but in the screenshot it shows 2 use cases that don’t make much sense to m…

Flaky tests are already the bane of my existence, but this is next-level flakiness if this is deployed to production.

Clicked on the link expecting it to be a discussion about energy systems on lunar expeditions, or challenges, something like that. Instead I found it to be a product for "endless e…

I understand what you’re saying and I can relate to some degree, but it’s hard to read comments like this and not think I’m browsing r/IAmVerySmart. I have some friends with whom I…

You mean DDG and Azure?

A huge portion of those laid off were not SDEs, which skews this I think.

I’m very glad to read this, as I am feeling in a similar boat, and the strong impetus to move was getting close to suicide. Thankfully, I am making progress and I have committed to…

In your case, did it end up being worth it in the end?

This is exactly how I feel right now. In 2 hours I’m going to announce my 1 month notice to my boss. I have no next job lined up, but I do have about 1.5 years of expenses saved up…

Is it quiet enough for the office? I have my own office at work, but sound travels a bit.

Ask! For me, I got 2 months of personal training for about that much (2 one-hour-sessions per week). I was hesitant because I thought personal training was too expensive given that…

Thank you! Honestly this is one of my biggest pet peeves with any “consult a $SPECIALIST” advice. Yes, if my money and time were endless, this is sound advice. Tangentially, when I…

From the video uploader: “yes, we will run DOOM on this” :)
