Same thing. I noticed a lot of my HN bookmarks failed recently. The front page works but any older link or even the login page ends on a 403.

Trying from another network (hotspot) works, so it looks like some IP ranges were banned?

Re:Why don’t the French celebrate Lafayette? on Friday September 10, 2021 @01:41AM (#28478185)
"In France, you mostly see him as a caricature nowadays." Certainly not, not for 60% of French people at least, if you check the polling regarding the last ceremony.

"Napoleon's invasions […] created the imbalanced situation that led to two world wars." what? That's quite a stretch you're proposing here.

There are remembrance ceremonies periodically. The last one occurred this year, with a speech from the president. The problem is that, as everywhere else, the extreme-left is generating controversies and trying to re-interpret History with today standards and pressuring everyone to not celebrate people like him.

I'm in the same boat, it's great M1 support was added to ST4 whereas the discussions on forums (last time I checked) were not indicating it was going to happen soon. Very nice.

Perfs! If you don't want to wait 4h for files to load. When I see my colleagues trying to open files on VS, I can't understand how that's acceptable.

As a developer, I tried to use a lot of code editors, my main criteria being performance, and I've stuck to ST since the first day I used it. Your editor is awesome and in term of perf you're far ahead. Thanks for your work, and also thanks a lot to adding the M1 support with ST4! I didn't expected it (ST3 works fine with Rosetta on M1) and it's much appreciated.
Agreed, that article could not be more vague.

I don't argue with the main point, which is "broaden your skills."

But the rest is debatable and not such good advice. Some of the items given in the "skill list" used as an example are absolutely unusable as it. "writing"? writing what, there's a huge difference between being able to write novels and writing technical documentation for instance. I also have a grip on "productivity", that's not a skill, that's the ability to apply a skill. A better pragmatic definition of a marketable skill, I think, would be the ability to write it on your résumé, and only a subset of the ones discussed in the article fit this definition.

Re:What python framework can be used to build a REST api? on Monday January 19, 2015 @12:01PM (#8912736)
If you're still looking for something, I've hacked a wrapper over Bottle to ease the implementation of a REST service, it's small (2 python files including Bottle) and might fit your needs: https://github.com/fclaerho/rest
