You can disable the email you use publicly as a login email.

I would recommend you look at some other guides before you do this but the gist is My Account > Your Account > Manage Account Information. Then you can add a new email that you do not share as your primary login email, and disable login from the email you use to send emails.

Re:Make Tmux Pretty and Usable on Monday April 13, 2026 @11:24AM (#47753366)
It is actually true though, I only use tmux nowadays when I am SSHed into a server that I need to do some work on.

The only issues I've had with it is that sometimes it's hot keys conflict with vim, but you can easily turn it temporarily off with ctrl+ g.

If you're already used to tmux I'm not sure you would benefit much from changing, but it definitely has a better out of the box with pane hints, names, and more user friendly hot keys.

Not all companies operate like this, but many large ones do. Smaller chops can have exactly the kind of culture that you describe, but they're also quite often hard to find as they tend to have some stable business and long employee retention, it's unlikely you will find them at the same time you're looking for a job.

I currently use Headscale, can you give some more details on how you use this to the same effect as Tailscale / Headscale?

With this type of experience and knowledge requirements, even Cryptography, that pay range seems quite on the low side. Someone with those skills can get paid far more in the Netherlands
Re:Ban me at the IP level if you don't like me on Monday August 25, 2025 @05:08AM (#45011841)
Did you really notice a significant drop off in connection attempts? I tried this some years ago and after a few hours on a random very high port number I was already seeing connections.
Please don't put words into other people's mouths, I've never made that claim nor do I agree with it.

    Margin stock accounts also exist, although I don't know enough to know what situations it makes sense to use them in.
I was obviously replying to this part of the parents comment.
Re:You will own nothing and be happy (Stop Killing Games) on Saturday July 05, 2025 @08:23AM (#44472303)
As a software developer do you genuinely believe that it is harder for indie game developers to build online infrastructure and pay for its hosting costs rather than build some LAN feature into the game, or to package local server binaries into the game as it was done just a few decades ago?
There are arguments to be made, especially if you're young and just starting out to take a reasonable amount of margin and kickstart your compounding growth.

Say you just started working, have no use for your money and are willing to bet 20k on index funds vs a 90% market drop, you should be able to take 2k in leverage and set up your position be auto closed.

But of course as you have more money this type of market exposure starts shifting as you have shorter timer horizons to rebuild and are instead going into more of a wealth conservation mode.

Interesting slides, it's always nice to see different ways to set up these kinds of systems and with a practical git repo to boot!
In general the public transit system in the US is so underfunded and badly executed when compared to road infrastructure that only disadvantaged people that can't afford car transportation will even consider using it.
If you're looking at the CLI there are specific man pages for it.

Thanks for the detailed response
Re:I won't be vibe coding anymore: a noob's perspective on Wednesday April 23, 2025 @01:36PM (#43774599)
No, with vibe coding you are not a reviewer an editor or an author, quoting from the source:

    There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.
    ...
    I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it.
Re:I gave up on self-hosted Sentry on Friday April 18, 2025 @07:57AM (#43727230)
At first glance it's not immediately obvious to me, why would you pick Sentry or Bugsink over something included in the Grafana stack? What's the use use
You can see it on the totp section of the underlying project https://github.com/game-ci/steam-deploy
It really tends to be because the philosophy of homerow / economy of movement is quite high on the split / ergo keyboard communities, combined with the ease of creating temporary layers (imagine you had multiple programmable shift buttons).
It's such a new language, not even in 1.0.0 You won't really find companies willing to bet their livelihoods at such an early stage.

You can make your own though :)

Quite neat result and presentation! Can you estimate what did your research and final product cost turn out to be?
Apt username for such a bonkers response

It also makes for very "efficient" software, the amount of time Sent has saved me, with very minor styling modifications, makes it one of the best software I've ever used.
Re:AI Killed the Tech Interview. Now What? on Thursday February 20, 2025 @03:33AM (#43112422)
I think this approach is not very favoured by hacker news but it's also what I prefer. It's so much easier to quickly gauge a minimum level of the basic programming knowledge and other sw knowledge by just asking some simple directed questions.

I once got a guy that claimed to have implemented multiple default HTTP JSON REST APIs and somehow had never:

- tested his API with JSON payloads, serialise serialise - never queried his APIs manually or semi automatically (no knowledge of curl, postman or anything similar)

Microservices lend themselves to architectural decisions that LLMs are just not trained to understand.

It's one thing to have it be trained in billions of loc and be useful, its another for it to have enough quality dataset to have enough context and understanding of something like Kafka partition ordering and its possible interactions with something like a database and at-least once delivery. It will give you an explanation of those things in isolation, but not in combination.

But at the time it did contribute at least somewhat to your physical condition, I am not an expert, but physical condition indicators like VO2 max seem to be the best predictors of intelligence. We're all physical beings at the end of the day
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)? on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @01:06AM (#41704745)
Perhaps you could make it read only, unless you're an approved 'curator'? It sounds really interesting to me
Re:Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)? on Monday September 30, 2024 @07:52AM (#41696127)
I would actually use this, but I am unsure of it's pricing model and ease of backup. Perhaps I missed it somewhere. Good mobile support on my device.

Two suggestions: - automatically convert units?, eg IP from Europe assume grams on some setting, convert {Rice}(2 cups) to grams when rendered - On the timer feature, create a timer (non popup) on the rendered section so I can just one press it to track time for me without changing apps / browser tabs

Re:SQL Tips and Tricks on Wednesday September 25, 2024 @06:10AM (#41645669)
I personally don't use it too, but I think it's origins are not just readability, but from developing queries in a REPL like environment.

As you develop and are constantly creating / debugging queries where you often add new and or or clauses as a whole line, that becomes much faster to add and remove those same lines as they're a single shortcut away in nearly all text editors.
