Your view is completely opposed to all of the recent "Google search is totally broken due to garbage SEO sites" HN articles.

I'm glad, and I shouldn't try to pigeonhole you here either, I just think these types of conversations lose specificity quickly. Person A: I'm doing <this thing> to support <cause> Person B: You shouldn't do

No, it isn't. The comment we're replying to here is about someone adding a message to their code repo that's shown to Russian viewers. Are you saying that if people don't do this, they support the Russian invasion? It

> Inaction is equal to support of the Russian invasion No, no it isn't, in this or in other situations. More than two choices _usually_ exist. Statements like this present a false dichotomy in an attempt to coerce people to suppo

Understand things like, "what is in shampoo", to take an example from the article? I like to understand things too, but there there's plenty of things to learn, and I think one can benefit from being choosy.

Sure you can- don't be discouraged. You can dump your leftover household chemicals in your yard, or in a storm drain!

I wish America had more bikeable cities and better public transport too, but I don't see what that has to do with the linked article. I would also really like a dumbcar.

> The idea that someone can allocate several hours during their busy day for a live interview but somehow can’t find several hours during the week for a take-home doesn’t even make logical sense. I personally like take-home problems. It

It's just as easy to argue that leetcode-style interviews are because companies are afraid of being discriminatory in hiring. If you aren't allowed to consider culture fit (because it's discriminatory) or education (becaus

Yes- death to Philips and slotted screw heads. Torx, square/Robertson, or (internal or external) hex heads are all so much better.

Several people mention DuckDuckGo in that Twitter thread. I use DuckDuckGo for my main search engine, and it's not obviously any better than Google regarding SEO spam.

I think it's great that you do this, but I agree with the parent that it's rare.

Eh... regardless of how it's generally used, I think "leech" implies a parasite that is actively harming a host. Generally users who don't contribute aren't directly _benefitting_ the author, but they generally are

What is this website? Is there an "about" or something? What is it doing differently from the official AWS status page?

Open source projects seem happy to yank the carpet from under their users, depending on what you mean. In the Python world, I'd put Python 3 and pip 21 in that category.

PDF is my favorite book format. I like the idea of reflowable text, but my experience is any book with pictures, tables, or math looks pretty terrible as an epub or kindle book. Books that would be suitable for Kindle (usually fiction),

I don't believe this one. I guess it's possible it was originally true, but I don't think it's relevant now. I've lived in a house where we let the lawn go. It got very brushy and wasn't usable by us anymore

I understand the desire, but there's a reason "product ownership" has become a trend. Similar to what's mentioned in the article, development and deployment and working with customers aren't independent. I would r

That's interesting. I guess the problem software I'm thinking of is all written by software engineers for software engineers, so the "detachment" issue isn't as severe. There is some, since we work in different pa

I agree with this article that the UX of the software I have to use for work is terrible, and it's very frustrating and demotivating. But their proposed solution at the end- internally developed software, seems to be the worst offende
