I used to run a company card for testing Stripe on prod, and then just processed a refund afterward. It was mildly inconvenient, and eventually I just stopped because there was never actually a difference between their staging and prod behaviour.
I don't think people who create adult content should be excluded. It's a valid job which — like streaming, painting, or any other online content creation — just isn't for everyone.
I'd argue that there's a difference in what colors appear "unappealing" between print and screen.
Staring directly into a bright, magenta-colored screen would certainly be unpleasant. Printing it onto a non-emissive material like cardboard, though, would probably look quite nice.
If we start predicting that the 2020's will be the rise of the remote-working 6-hour workday, maybe it will catch even more momentum and finally become true.
Probably because HN is mostly frequented by programmers, and not managers or "startup entrepreneurs" who throw around terms like "10x programmer" as if it's a thing that actually exists, and not a harmful concept that at best promotes gatekeeping and at worst promotes egotists who believe that their sloppy shortcuts won't have to be cleaned up by everyone else when they inevitably fail.
Completely agree, and I'd like to add that it should only be broken out when performance is actually a measurable issue and there's a good business case for it.
A lot of people get caught up on "x is slow, y is fast" and try to over-architect too early on, then end up focusing on the wrong parts of their product, and sooner or later the project falls apart.
Not Google but similar. I learned that my motivation is proportional to the quality and amount of free food I receive. This includes willingness to participate in pointless meetings.
Note: this is not something I'm particularly proud of or anything. Just an observation.
"Five passengers aboard a sightseeing helicopter drowned after a passenger allegedly tried to take a 'shoe selfie' leading to the passenger's safety tether getting caught in the emergency fuel shutoff lever."
Man, I'd be so pissed if I died because someone was trying to take a stupid selfie.
If you logged in with a GitHub account and starred their project, you would be entered into a contest for a chance to win some products (or gift cards) like Baskin Robbins, Starbucks, movie tickets, etc.
I run VSCode, Slack, Discord, GitHub, and my company's own app. There are others out there that I would use but my memory pressure is already too high.
>The team hasn’t even coined a name for the physical process by which identical solids can melt into distinct liquids. “If someone else wants to name it, then they can,” Threlfall says.
I think this is a challenge. Is HN up to the task?
