I've never seen this happen even once in my 25 years as a developer.

Quite the opposite, in fact. Codebases grow and become more entrenched every year the organization stays in business. The goal becomes to shoehorn into the product more and more features that the original designers never dreamed of. And those original devs are usually long gone. To do that shoehorning long-term in the face of developer churn requires intense discipline around communicating to the next person what you are doing and why.

Totally. The newest version is 8 years old and it still works great.

I wonder, does someone maintain a list of banks and credit unions that strive for modern security? It might affect my choice of banks.

I haven't seen those postings, but I imagine that would make a terrible first impression to potential candidates, effectively signalling that the company is committed to playing games with salaries.

I’d tweak the advice: go in the shoulder seasons.

In case you haven't already seen Tom Scott's video about it: https://youtu.be/mCSUmwP02T8 .

That's similar to how I deal with writer's block: just write for five minutes without picking up my pen. It can be absolute drivel but it's at least raw material that can be edited (a much easier task) into a finished product.

Same thing for analysis paralysis while coding: just write something. Anything. I can refactor it or even throw it out later.

I provide:

* Known tasks and how long each will take (with error bars),

* An overview of known unknowns, how they might impact the project, and what research would bring them into focus,

* Then I bring up the dreaded unknown unknowns.

With reasonable leadership that usually leads to good discussions about reining in the scope.

Indeed. I find that it's so reliable and fast that I use it to check my internet connection. If I can't hit HN, then something's wrong on my end.

Sean Carroll is a master of making quantum mechanics approachable to non-physicists. Here are a few of his talks:

Another link on the front page is that the bottom is dropping out of Netflix.

Coincidence?

Uh huh.

"Hey boss, sickfigure over on HN says I can get up later so I'll be coming in at 10. k thx"

More like: "Hey boss, remember JFK? It would be a real shame if something like that happened to you. Or your family."

I bought a Sceptre for a decent price last year. It doesn’t even have internet capability and it’s wonderful.

An offer package of $450k?! Dang.

You can just fill a sock with dry rice and tie it off. It's cheap and easy and the hot rice smells good too.

I haven’t bothered with a laptop that bulky in over 10 years.

Whatever your opinion of the library or runtime type checking in general, you've got to admit that's a helluva README they've put together.

On a related note: At one point I switched to working exclusively on a laptop and after a while realized that the smaller screen had forced me to write better code. I wrote smaller methods, made smaller files, kept my concepts together, the whole nine yards. I even wrote better tests since that helped me keep my work small.

It didn't last; I'm writing this on a 27" monitor, but I think that has more to do with bad laptop ergonomics than space.

An all-too-common occurrence in HN comments as well.

Well keep in mind that US GPS was developed by and is owned/operated by the US military. They're just letting us use it.

The subject of the law (reproductive rights) is only part of the issue. The implementation is also sets an extremely problematic precedent. They basically hacked a way around any sort of judicial review by turning the citizenry into bounty hunters.

Here's a good video about the subject: https://youtu.be/PnO7pL-QWyc

Another option is the point forecast from weather.gov. For example, here's the forecast for Eastsound: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=48.6968&lon=-1...

Also:

* If your employer is bought out, the HR org could change overnight without warning. This happened to me.

Don't mess with those guys.

Hmm... seems to call for a tool for a cluster-of-clusters.

If "kubernetes" is Greek for the ship's pilot, what's the name for the captain or maybe the admiral of the armada?

The first thing rentpath should do is stop scrolljacking.
