    After reading this, Its killing me not knowing what they built, used, or implemented instead of using sshd. It would add much more context. Is the author a Lead? Manager? Architect…

    Thanks for this. Yep, I've thrown 10,000 round house kicks and can teach you to do one. It's so easy. In reality, it will be super awkward, possibly hurt, and you'll fall on your a…

    That's one approach, but you didn't answer the question. How did you go about telling them that Christmas is a big sham?

    Thanks! Actually, no there isn't a pressing reason. I figured it out as a child myself, so perhaps it's less of an issue than I anticipated. Have an awesome Christmas!

    Ask HN: How and at what age did you tell your children the truth about Santa?

    I believe in the 'magic' of Christmas and Santa, but need to explain in the most positive way to my children that Santa isn't real. Any advice or reflections on this out there? Not…

    This is awesome, thanks! If the paragraphs were set to wrap, I could actually read it on my phone when zooming in. I could zoom in and scroll back and forth on each line, but that'…

    This. I totally agree. One fallacy I've seen is a reviewer only looking at the diff on Github, where a minor change in the middle of a function is made, and they don't expand the d…

    Thanks for your words tonight. I've been in the same boat and that's why I replied to the overly generalized, naive, parent comment. I hope you're okay. I'm nowhere near SV, but re…

    Alcohol use, itself, does have traits that some are more sensitive to. Alcoholism, though may be the case for many repeat offenders, and is a disease, not really a trait, but a ser…

    I did a find for 'event sourcing' in this thread and yours is the single hit at the time of my comment. I came here to agree, and tell the OP that you indeed would benefit from an …

    Right, but up until after Hackv3.3, PHP code was supported, which support ended 9 days ago. "HHVM v3.30 will be the last release series where HHVM aims to support PHP. The key date…

    It must be just a coincidence that PHP 7.4 was released today, and surely FB doesnt rely on PHP version updates to latest, right? Just speculating.. Edit: that twitter thread is qu…
