I absolutely refuse to take part in these kind of primitive experiences. If life has gotten to this dire point, spare the team members time and do a course on management as it is likely you need it.

I know Angular seems to not be popular right now, but I am genuinely enjoying my job because of it. Maybe apart from animations, everything seems to consistently work. Even updating major versions is a mere footnote rather than a chore.

I do not have any interest in Trump. I trust my American friends will do whatever is best for them and I respect that. This is bigger than that for me. Everyone uses Twitter, news corportations across the divides reference it. If it is bei

You put it more eloquently than I could. It is a private company but it also hosts world leaders as a dispatch service. Something feels off about a single company being able to indiscriminately terminate voices at a whim.

Forgive my slow response! I think it just comes down to background noise. For example, people every day listen to Radio when driving, or have the news on in the background. I don't think I could study something difficult with Audio Boo

As a Scotsman, this is a sad day. My only hope is that we leave the Union and that Ireland can work out it's differences and pursue reunification. There is nothing else left for it. A tragic time to be British and nothing to celebrate

I followed the same path, how amazing was TypeScript Beta when it looked like you had to go back to ES3/5 after AS3? I almost became a gardener.

I pay for YouTube Premium in Rupees. It's £1.36 a month. One of the weird things tho, is that I didn't see Ads with Ad Blocker. Is there some regional thing that ad blocker doesn't work in the USA but it works elsewhere?

I think he was a software engineer before retirement, I absolutely love his video's for the reasons you highlighted. I can tell he is interested in the subject matter and spending retirement creating these videos is very noble. I start

I can only speak for myself, but for the past 10 years, audiobooks have been golden! I don't have time to read a book and nor do I want to. For example lying in bed with the light on parsing text, or sitting in a chair. It is boring wh

Does anyone at HN have pain from their job? Sitting? Even with expensive chairs, and standing desks? I have been running 5-7km twice per week since May and I loved how it made me feel, but then comes the pain... lower back... hip flexors...

The old yahoo chat days were my favourite internet days. I used to have a great friendship with people in "Hackers Lounge: 1" and everyone used to be 1337 for cracking original names like you said. I got my first name, and a few f

It is somewhat off-topic, people have already covered anything I could add about this gem. Something similar (as far as turned based game) which I enjoyed was Silent Storm. It didn't have the base building side but it had physics. ht

Thank you momentjs developers, as well as the time others have taken over the years answering my boring questions about time. All the best.

What do you think this red splodge is? It looks like someone was like "oops i got red paint on the masterpiece" and not part of it. http://hyper-resolution.org/view.html?pointer=0.480,0.002&r=...

Thank you, so in the very end, you must go through a service of some kind to make this possible? Not arsed about security.

This does get at the heart of it. But my problem is that, surely Windows itself has this service providing "somehow" that I can know where in the world the computer is, and from there, make it some kind of network drive? Like what

Has anyone seen the film of oil that may appear on the surface of the water when washing dishes? You add a little bit of washing liquid, and kind of like a popped balloon, the surface retreats to the edges of the sink pretty fast? On the BB

Thanks for sharing and Kudos for TypeScript! This question is not aimed at you and certainly not at your work. I used to be a game developer from an OOP background. I find this really hard to read. https://github.com/thi-ng&

What if I have an Automatic Driving Licence (UK) and I go to America and rent a Stick Shift then the Police pull me over? Also could I go to a developing country, get a licence there, then it is valid in the UK and America? These questions

It really baffles me how that is the case (I understand the tongue in cheek). I have been working remotely for just shy of 10 years. That capability was a primary reason for going into programming in the first place. I find it so old fashio

I have fond memories of this time as well. It is the first time I have seen an article where I am seeing old names like Joshua Davis and Jared Tarbell. Manny Tan and Keith Peters were similarly cool. I don't get a lot out of the art si

What is the difference? You have the app, and safari opens up all links in the YouTube app. You get rid of the app, and safari opens the youtube website. Getting the App costs you a 33% tax over not having the app in this circumstance.

I noticed this the other day, I had seen on my desktop that YouTube was £11.99 per month. When I was out, i had forgotten to sync my songs but I wanted music for the day so I went to try YouTube Premium. £15.99 per month. I could have swor

I read about 30-40 books a year but I am the same as you, I don't have the time or patience to cut out a slice dedicated to staring at a page. Can I recommend you try an audio book? I have found that most of the time I do chores, like

Ask HN: 11.99 if you delete YouTube iOS App. 15.99 if you dont?

Say the same person is having Lamb after she finishes an exhausting 12 hour shift helping people be safe. She tweets "Off home for some tasty lamb after a hard day!". Within 5 minutes, someone is going to say she is a 'pos&#
