A very succint and accurate report, in my opinion. Finally someone named it on an ad-free website.

N.B.

Also reading the other comments, Can HN not become a place where frustrated reddit user come to vent, this is a nice place here...don't ruin it.

I can relate to what you describe from personal experience. I definitely want to mitigate earlier than later on my trip, even for a train ride from the suburbs where i live and downtown where I work, which is about 2 hours now (the train schedule is messed up with a new train line that is late on delivery and way over budget (public budget)). That's why I really enjoy remote work, I don't have to think about that stuff anymore.

Bring back IRC!

Congratulations, I hope the monetization won't kill it

You're right, but it's worth noting that the iframes used today are better at hiding the fact that they're iframes, it's usually hidden behind an API call from a library that you import, and that doesn't affect your browsing history, or at least not as bad as those huge forms used in the past that would essentially replace the page you're on for the sake of paying.

No need to get a 200$ 2k Lamy to have fun though, the 50$ Safari (cartridges, M nib) and midori notebooks (10$ each) are a joy to use.

>The only way to make money is to grow, and the only way to grow is to kill the community

Word.

I'll use whatever the hell I want, lol.

Today you can still use iframes but most gateways now provide a tokenization api that provides the form to produce the tokenized cc. Afaik tokenized cc isn't falling under PCI.

My big issues with iframes is the checkout process which inevitably has to make callbacks to your api with the results of the transaction. If you're behind any sort of firewall (like most businesses are) you're in for a world of http pain.

Funny that this article has a huge cookie pop-up that takes up all the visible space on my phone while it denounces how unusable the web has become. Come on.

Let reddit die.

Independently of the Pulitzer kerfuffle, this is insane guerilla journalism and I deeply respect that.

There's no way to turn back time, if there was, I would probably be living in 1997 forever.

I'm all for a bit of nostalgia, but we must admit that the internet is indeed dead, we surf an encyclopedia thats mostly a money machine poisonning everything it touches. It ruins everything, everywhere.

1 more js framework

I agree. It hurts. It hurts bad.

I don't...

That might be me you're talking about, I did exactly that when my kids were born.

As you said, he probably has non-vain reasons for writing his memoirs, but I could not help thinking what I said in my comment.

Personally I thought cheating was a thing of the past since Diablo trainer (for Diablo 1..)

Well, here we go again

I thought the same, now who the hell does he think he is, writing 'memoirs' at 30 like he's somebody.

It might work, especially since minors don't have credit cards to buy vpn time.

Although I am sure there are tons of free options.

I think that the internet is overpopulated.

It creates ephemeral platforms that strives for a little while and become slave to the imperatives that drives revenu (ads, data) instead of staying true to themselves they corrupt their core in the name of viability, effectively rendering them shitty.

> Important enough that your manager wants to secure you as part of the team

I guess that can happen. I suspect in the majority of cases, you keep your shitpay even if you become a supremely efficient pillar.

Employers are not friends, they're businesses who thinks like psychopaths, so manage your expectations and get as much money as you can from them. You need them but they need you, so get the juice and move on when it gets hairy.

For every useful post reddit allows a ton of shit posts, humblebrags and double standards are everywhere, it's a dirty echo chamber ran by former IRC ops. They also logs your chats in clear text.

Ugh, one line of code. like that's supposed to impress us all.

Cutting all comments under the false certitude that if code is clear you shouldn't need any is as dogmatic as leaving a class comment explaining the whole file whether you needed it or not.

Stop being so dogmatic about comments and do what works for your team.

Such a flame war territory.

You've just described how special a snowflake you are, congratulations, fuck face.

The author seems to be a devotee of the Asshole Driven Development methodology.

Also there's a ton of books / course so that they can learn just like they learn scrum

Waste of time of an article, nobody needs to hear your shit.

An old question. No answers.
