Re:Ask HN: Best 4k display for dev work? on Tuesday September 22, 2020 @03:48AM (#24551974)
I've started using a LG 27UL650 4K and so far it seems good. I noticed some mild ghosting though... not sure if it's config related.

I really miss StumbleUpon

There is something to be said about letting experts do what they do best.
Re:Google says its carbon footprint is now zero on Monday September 14, 2020 @08:25AM (#24469259)
They don't have control over that. They can only ensure the energy required to run the services are offset.
I didn't see that, thanks.
why? honest question
Re:Ask HN: How often do you check HN? on Thursday September 10, 2020 @08:12AM (#24431526)
This looks interesting. Thank you! I'll give it a try over the next few days.
Re:Ask HN: How often do you check HN? on Thursday September 10, 2020 @07:57AM (#24431414)
I check it too much too :)

One thing that makes it worse is that I don't know what are the new entries in the front page, so I have to scan it again and again. I wish there were a better way.

Re:Getting Fiber to My Town [video] on Wednesday September 09, 2020 @07:32PM (#24427215)
It's fairly regulated here. The regulation says that the companies that own the poles are obligated to sell that space to any other telcos that want to rent it.
Re:Getting Fiber to My Town [video] on Wednesday September 09, 2020 @05:07PM (#24425908)
Here in my 3rd world country, fiber is getting pretty common. Small ISPs just rent space on poles and lay the fiber to the extend that I can choose from 4 different fiber ISPs in my home.

It amazes me how difficult it seems to get the same in more developed places like US/Canada.

Re:Ask HN: Anyone else have trouble focusing? on Wednesday September 09, 2020 @02:57PM (#24424482)
Neat idea. They could multitask background tasks as much as needed but keep just a single app on display. Like smartphones.
Re:Ask HN: What would you make if you had 1000 hours? on Wednesday September 09, 2020 @02:54PM (#24424424)
Probably nothing. I usually dream of having weekends for myself but when I do, I don't do anything with them. It's pretty depressing.
Re:Optimize Onboarding on Monday September 07, 2020 @05:09PM (#24402904)
I once got told by a manager that they didn't expect new hires to make big contributions in the first year. That was after I complained I was feeling very unproductive and wanted some help to speed things up. I quit after a few months because the slowness of everything around me was making me depressed.

This was at a top5 website company.

Re:Radicle-Link: Extending Git with Peer-to-Peer Network Discovery on Saturday September 05, 2020 @06:56PM (#24387515)
In fact, Git was only created when Linus’ free Bitkeeper license was revoked after a Linux kernel contributor tried to reverse engineer its networking protocols

Bit-who?

> I circulate air in my house every day

Might be hard to do that in really cold weather. I live in a place that's very warm and the windows are always open, so I can't relate.

I wonder what would be the response here if GitHub did the same.

I use the favorites feature as a kind of "read later" list (which I never do).
It seems perfectly fine and honest from them. Did anyone expect any different? I'm not saying it's bad, just that's the reality of the job.
