Is anyone else annoyed that Apple are extra shifty with performance comparisons these days, comparing to M1 and not to M2 MB Airs? I opted for a M2 Air in October seeing small differences in M2 pro vs M3 pro, so I guess I was right - the di

As a company that moved to 4-day work week for our development team I can share the following results: - Output per person per day increased compared to 5-day work week (throughput increased based on surveys, performance metrics and persona

A suggestion for engineers that lack business experience. As soon as your project grows beyond the non-hobby scale and starts making real money, invest some time to reach out to company providing the services that keep it alive and find an

TLDR: USDT is shady. USDT is not depegging. USDT FUD is a classic bear market move. Whales make a killing swapping USD for USDT and pocketing 5% for zero risk. It feels like we'll just keep repeating the same story of tether depegging,

I really wonder if USDT bashing will get old or will people finally get that USDT will not just disappear overnight. They've redeemed 11% of their total capitalization and nothing happened. I despise shady accounting practices and I&#x

I just want to stress that while Jabras statement sucks, you really should be reaching out to Apple. Have the same issue on my MBP with Sennheiser Pxa550. With Monterey I actually had to install a plug-in for Chrome that keeps my volume at

We're happy users of Confluence (SaaS version) and try to store all knowledge there. At 50 employees we have multiple teams approaching the Confluence as a KB with various success so there are a couple of takeaways. 1. You need to mand

It will be the same as it's currently in post-covid bar and restaurant business. Nobody wanted to work the shitty 24/7 jobs after being out of the trade during the lockdowns so they had to increase salaries. Problem is not yet big

I fully agree that the author of the piece should volunteer for a low paid job of a janitor. They are becoming the elderly population, if somebody doesn't sacrifice themselves what oh what will happen? Sure, there is a lack of young wo

We had to choose between Webkit and Gecko. For us it was primarily the license, which was GPL vs MIT. Gecko was a non starter.

I'd really like to discuss arguments against blockchain as I view some very valid (especially long-term deflation concerns) others not so much (Tether, PoW), but sadly not here (or reddit for that matter). I wonder if just stating my v

Oh come on, we're on HN. This is the most anti-cryptocurrency tech page that I can think of, with daily negative sentiment articles popping up. It's either bitcoin will destroy the world, ether is a giant cesspool that can be impl

"Being a developer is not a good long-term career option, unless you really like the job. It demands much, but the pay isn't competitive, except for a small minority." 1. Being X is not a good long-term option, unless you lik

Such articles perpetrate the myth that developers die after X. It's obvious that the majority of devs will sit in the 20-30 bracket just due to popularity and increased opportunity over time. Industry is growing and the only way to get

The initial post is literally the flip side of the same coin. We've had romantic Bitcoin maxis in the beginning, saying Crypto will change the world, we now have luddists screaming to stop the crypto as it will destroy the world. Only

Why are such articles constantly popping up on HN? It's clear that the HN crowd does not like Bitcoin. So why keep reiterating similar arguments all over? There is zero utility in the article shared. It states some anti crypto views an

Look at the comments on the topic of hack ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28151538 ) and you'll find comments like: - this was not a hack - nobody stole anything, it's code LOL - it's just shitcoins - no

I've had a lot of interesting debates in the comment section and I fully agree with the OP. He's calling it skeptical, but I'd say HN is an order of magnitude more skeptical about blockchain than any other topic. I'd pic

An subsidary that Binance bought was banned by UK financial regulators to do business in UK. Not Binance itself. This has been cleared up multiple times, but I guess if you repeat the same lie often enough people start believing it.

I'm betting more on the fact that this was an experiment that was supposed to be short and focus on the effects on John's, but rather proved that giving people a license to do lawless things does in fact make them perform these to

Love the "It works for me" ethos. Very popular amongst us IT guys. Sadly not much help to the OP. If we want to have better products, we need to address issues that people have using them. Apple UX is slowly eroding over time, to

Fully support this, as PoW protocols - from an efficient market perspective - consume as much as they are currently worth to mine, which would mean that if we believe that the value of BTC will go up (in line with past increases, for orders

So basically: NFTs are a scam since the early adopters are not very good artists. And there is no unique value in them since its just Pepe memes, which are stupid to be NFTed, since it's just Gifs? Oh and let's not forget about th

Sure, you can go and build your own API and setup your own trading infrastructure or simply use a public infrastructure that already exists. This also means that players can use existing NFT markets to trade these or even regular markets ca

What if we're a bit more creative and look at any of the number of trading card games (TCGs, such as Magic the Gathering). One of the key issues of the TCGs is that in their digital form, trading of items is up to the whims of the game

It's well known that USDT is not 1:1 backed and this is true since the AG started their investigation. Market doesn't care. Right now USDT trading is popular since people are used to it. There are so many stable coin alternatives

Narrow streets without road markings is what we generally do to slow traffic here in Europe. They are safer and slower without the need for speed bumps. We have full sections of the city centre without markings under free-for-all and pedest

What if the idea doesn't really matter? You need to start the journey and be ready to adapt along the way. I've been at it for 12 years now as a cofounder and you'll need to change your product every couple of years. Remember

I do understand the reporting around Tesla is very distorted to parrot the cult of Tesla, but come on... Yes, Tesla has a huge lead in charging. Yes, Tesla has the best UX for charging. Yes, right now this is an important consideration poin
