Indeed. When somebody is a true YIMBY it's major news: https://piedmontexedra.com/2019/07/piedmont-resident-terry-m...

In candor, I only skimmed them, and all I saw was "the reasons lines repel certain birds is not fully understood". When I submitted the article here, part of me was hoping someone would know or speculate why and share with us..

Yep, simple blur seems most classy, thanks for mentioning that as it wasn't directly implied by "virtual background". To be clear, Google Meet does not support a simple blur on Firefox. (I could use a virtual camera, but as I

Ah, I meant cheap (in terms of apartment space and interior, not in terms of rent). I'm in a nice neighborhood in Oakland, CA fwiw.

Would you say more? Are you speaking as a Canadian? We have alternative words that fully qualify the US.. and I’m probably the only one on HN I’ve ever observe to use them (and I’m from the US): https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Mobile Safari reader mode was effective for me. Maybe because I have Purify for ad blocking (which didn’t remove transparent gray overlay, unfortunately).

I thought it was interesting that it’s apparently a mystery why hanging lines deters sparrows (see the papers linked at the end of the first paragraph).

All the plans I've seen to separate California, would create more red states..

As a Bay Area snob, I gotta say certain neighborhoods in Cincinnati rock. Watch out :/ Maybe don’t praise Cincinnati on HN…

so what's the new RICE?

Not a strawman (I don't think? not sure what you meant by this..), just very curious. You have a setup that is in between useless when grid is down, and fully self-sufficient. Seems possibly very practical to me, but I haven't hea

Would you spell it out for us? What exactly happens when the grid fails at your site? Overnight, obviously you have no power. Then "the sun rises" but surely if there's any load, it must get above a certain point in the sky b

I'd love to see a simple infographic that tells us the most important stuff to pay attention (eg. strength vs flexibility) to at different ages and for both genders..

MacOS Big Sur out of the box does not show a title bar for the after-screenshot editor. How do I configure it to show a title bar so I can use your tip?

Good to know! I was interpreting parent generously.

I didn't say in advance. After the fact is likely best, but in a seamless flow that doesn't require using Finder, the terminal, or any other tool. Indeed Gnome solves after the fact, allowing you to just accept the default generat

My favorite instance of this is bugs in open source projects . I worked briefly in streaming video - like for 3 months - and in that time concluded that the very, very, very old bugs in ffmpeg actually constituted some of the most reliable

Shameless question: is there a special trick to specify a filename for my screenshots in macOS? I manually rename after, and it's cumbersome.

Yep, but they're easily available from the cafeteria right when the blizzard hits . Right when other sledding equipment is likely to be sold out from stores (stores that don't sell commercial-grade trays, at any price..). Plastic

Then just say "kinda slow". Easy. If you want to use a charged word, it's on you to make your intention easily understood. If that's too much for you, then just use a safe and well-understood word.

Huh? Retarded just means "slow" literally. So, if I get your meaning, it's absolutely not "kinda" retarded, it's depressingly/horribly/saddeningly/hopelessly retarded. And I do not recommend pu

Poorly researched. Usually the vanished trays appear again on their own, after the snow has melted.

Heh, good point. The best correct is technically correct and all that.

No, you keep interviewing with Leet Code, and I will keep vacuuming up the fabulous sleeper candidates that cannot or will not pass your screens ;)

Would you say more about Deming? I am 2/3 the way through The New Economics based on recommendations on HN. I love the boldness of some of his ideas. But also, some of them are.. not good ideas. Like, if you were to try to follow his

Over the last couple months, we’ve seen hiring freezes from several top payers, which has a knock on effect in reducing negotiation leverage with competing offers. Just my subjective SF-based opinion, it may well be growing still in aggrega
