They were right to ban him and refund. Nobody needs customers who who wolf on Twitter and call your business shady.

You don't need every user. Feel free to remove the problematic ones, and save yourself the trouble.

It's single threaded to this day. A widget hanging on a webserver can lock up the whole desktop. It needed a rewrite years ago, and things have only become worse regarding tech debt.

Kettlebell.
Get an electronics 101 book that is intended for highschool students. It will explain 85% of what you will need.
I'd put that mortgage aside for 2 years, we are heading into a global recession. Prices will plummet.
HN is ran by radical leftists, so no surprise.
Re:Ask HN: At what time do you go to bed / get up? on Monday August 03, 2020 @09:21AM (#24037426)
As long As I sleep 8-9 hours it doesn't matter. My biggest factor is workout and not sleep schedule.
Zip the git repo and upload to telegram as an attachment. Network admins won't be able to tell what you did, just make sure the filename is cat_memes or teambuilding_photos.

Fuck companies.

Dark Reader, I don't care about cookies, cookie autodestroyer, noJS.
Debian,I need a stable system to work on.

Taking your vitamins is the first step. People seem healthy until it turns out they had chronic low levels of vitamin D and K.

How come Debian can package chromium but Ubuntu cannot?
Nicotine+, dump files to Google drive, and use Cloudplayer on Android or other desktop program like Clementine to stream your music from.your Google storage.
A lot of good software business will move to the EU in my opinion the next four years.
Block everyone who is not kind to you. That's how I have been doing my internet use for 6 years now, and I have not missed out so far.

Ponzi schemes generally don't have open specs. Defeats the purpose.

Jitsi is open source, easy to use (click shared link) and secure.
Re:Ask HN: How do you organise your files and folders? on Wednesday June 03, 2020 @07:35PM (#23410382)
I delete everything except photos and music once every year or so. Whatever is important, like legal stuff, I email to my wife, who is a hoarder and never deletes her emails.
Plenty people pay for software. You should target niche professionals who are underserved, not the plebs.
System 76nis overpriced because they pay US wages. If you like their hardware, check out Clevo resellers in Europe. Same shit, lower price point. Firmware can be upgraded with the pop_os tools, and in general in any Linux distro.
Have you considered The European Union? University education is very affordable, and you can live off 100k USD for 2-3 years comfortably. I can recommend the Netherlands, good tech universities here. It would also be an experience that few of your generation can afford.

Not a good timing, but if you can survive on your savings for a year, go for it. You can also just move to the countryside to cut your expenses if you must, right?
Re:Is This the End of Airbnb? on Wednesday April 22, 2020 @02:30PM (#22948675)
I hope so. It's cancer on our society.
Email. Anything not communicated in an email doesn't get done. You can use the email threads as a todo list.
But I'd they help people, their K/D/A ratio will suffer!
Absolutely not.
Perl came as a reaction to the Unix tooling that was awk regex and all that jazz. It was designed to replace those tools and it did a good job at that. Times have changed, however, and perl no longer fills a function. We have python now, which surpasses perl in functionality.
