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 beha

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 mate

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.

I'm a bit confused, this blog post is written as if it's an exploit, but it looks like it's the intended functionality? Am I missing something?

In Trello, on a card: Click the "Edit" menu > "move" > select board, column, position. Not as convenient as drag and drop, but it's possible to do.

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 th

I use an online service called JustWatch that searches through all of the platforms at once. Huge time saver.

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

Really tired of people thinking "healthy eating" is just calorie count and salt content. There's so much more to nutrition than these two numbers.

I mean, nothing is truly free, but I'm not the one paying for it in this situation, so for me it is free.

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 o

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 fee is to pay for the ISO's operating costs of maintaining and distributing the standards. They do have a section of publicly available standards, if you're interested: https://standards.iso.org/ittf/Publi

>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?

Not sure why this is getting downvoted? I honestly expected an article about ColdFusion when I opened it. Someone else even posted the same thing half an hour later...

TIL, thats pretty cool and makes a lot of sense. I used to work at a mine and we'd break expensive parts all the time, the supplier would have to ship them in from halfway across the world. They should really do something like that.

I'm excited for the future when we'll finally have day-before shipping, where ML predicts what I want before I even order it.

I'm really no expert on the whole BPA thing, and I've read a lot of mixed research about it. I say "considered" toxic because of some of the research that has come out about it. I think ultimately we're not totally

The print volume matters. These new receipts would be at least 3x longer than they need to be, and thermal paper: a) costs money b) is considered to be highly toxic c) often isn't accepted by local recycling programs (but people still

Adding these black bars and bubble charts makes the receipt three times longer than it needs to be. Printing millions of these a year would be a huge waste for something that hardly anyone would look at. The side-by-side picture in this art

We both lost cafeteria breakfast/lunch when we got new jobs after moving. Making dinner used to be really easy, just grab some fresh ingredients on the way home and throw together something small and healthy. Now it's a whole perf
