The best is when the microwave is still perfectly capable of functioning, but the membrane keypad starts to go bad and then you can't actually use the microwave anymore. Want to repair just that part because it's the most unreliab

Is this a just a real product release post, themed as an April fool's prank? I found the whole thing to be extremely confusing. Unless I'm misunderstanding it, the idea of pinebuds makes perfect sense considering some of the other

I'm not sure if you've ever dabbled in HTML email development but I would definitely not recommend it as a starting point for learning basic HTML.

I think the entire point of this project is show people that they can make a website without having to be afraid of having the type of experience you just described. If you just use HTML, then the words that you choose to write will be the

For the core services? Definitely. But do we really know that some 3rd party API which doesn't fail gracefully isn't causing this?

I think there's a universe where there is no overlap between engineers/PMs who work on the actual DB product and website/content marketing site. The marketing space is filled with all kinds of "plug and play" SaaS p

Maybe it's different for me since I'm on mobile but I was really bothered by the huge left margin that didn't match the size of the right margin

Just wanted to say that I've been wanting something like Lunar for quite some time but didn't know it existed. It looks amazing! I'm going to try it out and will happily pay for it if it ends up working well.

My take away was that the author doesn't necessarily claim to have all the answers here. It's more of a list of general guidance that is reverse engineered from the type of behavior the she observed was definitely unsuccessful.

My best guess is that amazon is using the entities associated with the registered trademark as some form of proof of identity. So since there was no registered trademark for Acme Klein Bottle, there was nothing to compare the new identity

They are talking about renting a VM from a cloud provider and setting up the DB themselves (example: EC2) vs renting a fully managed DB from a cloud service provider (example: RDS).

I think what they were getting at is: there's a minimal difference in terms of "look and feel" between non-tesla EVs and the gas counterparts designed by the same manufacturer. Tesla very much intends to redefine the driver e

No need to imagine! Just search HN for "cloudflare outage" and you'll see that it happened several times over the last few years

Maybe they're just trolling us for pure entertainment. I imagine it would get boring up there for them, silently watching an intellectually inferior lifeform day after day.

I'll go one further and say that some are actually quicker than Amazon. I've recently bought two different items from bestbuy.com that I would have normally bought from Amazon when prime shipping actually took two days. In both ca

In a similar vein, I also get bothered by the unrealistic fact that there are never compatibility issues between any given device/technology. Since we are talking about The Expanse, I think a great example is whatever protocol allows f

I've always thought it would be really interesting to write a show where the characters speak in a way that mimics how real human being communicate with each other on a daily basis. It might end up being really bad and hard to watch bu

I hate to be the one to break this to you but GA usually isn't as invasive as you seem to think. It's mainly tracking things like time on a page, links clicked, bounce rates, etc. It's not deep scanning your hard drive to try

The biggest reason is that google doesn't provide the utility that each of these individual libraries brings to the table. Even if they did, there's nothing that says the total "omega tracking bundle" that you'd be

You're probably joking sarcastically, but in case you aren't, you can click both sides of the track pad or three finger tap (if supported) to preform a middle click.

This is where I'm at. As much as I like the idea of using Linux on the desktop, Im never fully content once I try it. Even after I've put in all the effort to customize everything to my liking, I'm then faced with the fear th

I personally find windows10 to be one of the most "invasive" desktop experiences that I've ever used. No matter what I do, I can't seem to properly turn off all the bloat and extra notification shipped with it. I'm

How is a two-way, 'at will', relationship more exploitative than one which comes with legal penalties for choosing to complete your job? (a job that you were born into, I might add)

I'm not even remotely qualified on anything ship related so my question might be totally pointless. But by your logic, couldn't one argue that reaction time plays a rather large role? If you are navigating a narrow canal with thin

Couldn't a more rational theory be that the data is essentially captured over VHF radio waves and there can be data loss due to things like gaps in capture ranges, faulty capture devices, faulty transponders, or even signal congestion?

They probably aren't the designed target market but I wonder if a physical keyboard would be easier to use for the vision impaired. Especially with the ridges on the home keys, they could rely less on the audio feedback experience of g

I'm not saying I agree with it, but just for the sake of playing devil's advocate - what if the business legitimately makes its revenue by serving ad content on it's site to it's users?

Imo, this is the single biggest argument that can still be validly made to prevent the mass adoption of EVs. People, for the most part, are easy to convince when it comes to buying expensive products that promise to reduce the amount of str

You're really comparing apples to oranges because the majority of Americans don't live within reasonable walking distance to a grocery store to begin with. Depending on where you live, it's not uncommon to take 15-20+ minutes
