Well that's a sad state of affairs.

Web browsers tend to degrade a webpage rather than fail to load it. Given that every day using Chrome I'll come across a website that is having issues with rendering, it should be acceptable.

If you want to avoid being a low performer then maybe take a junior job where you're not expected to do much.
This has been attempted by many people in the past, including myself, but I'm sure that if anyone is to have a shot, it's SpottedLeaf. He's done a lot for Paper performance and is very familiar with the workings of Minecraft.

Love this. Anxiety isn't a new-fangled piece of tech, it's primitive and should be treated as such.

Their shower water's not heated beyond cold, so it doesn't make a difference.
Perhaps this could be more useful if it could be fed information from a bug tracker, so it could use the context to create a meaningful (if inaccurate) commit message.
Yep, car ownership is expensive.

In the UK we usually have lids, unless it's been vandalised.

This is pretty neat, how well does this compare to how services such as cloudlare workes currently operate?
Re:Ask HN: Why is Microsoft Teams still so bad? on Monday September 26, 2022 @12:41PM (#32985269)
Haha thanks, sadly it's probably going to have to change for something a bit more visually appealing.
Thanks for catching that, I got my English the wrong way round.
I thought that that in Slavic languages Sunday would be the first day of the week, since the Polish for 'monday' means 'after sunday'.

EDIT: got 'monday' and 'sunday' the wrong way round

Thank you all so much for this list! It's really going to come in handy with my custom Teams client, OperCom! https://opercom.co.uk

I hope not, though that may explain why they keep any message content as oddly formatted HTML and CSS.

It's surprising that nobody has mentioned that MS is calling this Teams 2.0. They're rewriting to React with WebView2. I don't believe any of the functionality will be in the C#, but we'll see.

It's probably worth me mentioning that I'm building a Teams client using Typescript and Tauri! https://opercom.co.uk

The oldest age I've found is 75, and they still rode 2x per week in 2011. http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2011/02/who-cycles-in-n...
That's a shame. What was your product, and did you have any troubles with reverse engineering or did you not consider it?
Re:Ask HN: Where do you host your CSS files? on Monday September 05, 2022 @08:49PM (#32731273)
Caching should be handled by the proxy in front of your server in that case. Adding another host is unlikely to improve performance, especially with HTTP/2.
Re:Create an Inexpensive Flying Wing / Drone (2019) on Sunday September 04, 2022 @03:37AM (#32710765)
I've been looking for instructions for a drone this simple and cheap for a while now, guess I have a project to do now.
Microsoft Graph requires the organisation administrator to enable extra user permissions or to add an app to allow users to use this, whereas by reverse engineering users don't need organisation administrator permission.
I'm working on a vanilla JS web app alternative if you're interested, OperCom. You can see its current status at [1] and keep updated at [2]
