A simple web app that generates colored Google profile icons using the same font and colors as the default random-colored Google icons.

Pluralsight has excellent software dev and other IT/CS-related courses. https://www.pluralsight.com

This is quite the update - very sleek. My favorite new feature is the "show on hover". Just put your mouse where the icons should be and the appear like magic!

It really cleans up an already improved menu bar in macOS Big Sur.

We use HelpDocs.io (love it) and they have a "set article to go stale" option. I haven't used it, but it seems like a nice reminder to re-evaluate or delete the page.

Seems to be all backwards. The dolphins can't imagine what happened to us:

"So long and thanks for all the gifts"

The New York Times has a job link in the console (including a nice ASCII logo that doesn't render well in HN):

      NYTimes.com: All the code that's fit to printf()

I received a similar alert/report from CrowdStrike today.

I have heard complaints about this too in the form of "Whatever you do, don't upgrade to iOS 13." (Me: "I've been running 13 since July..")

This was a great story.. thanks to Planet Money for re-broadcast it.

What a great project. I have a very similar book (1800 Mechanical Movements, Devices, and Appliances) and have a blast flipping through it. It is great to see the illustrations come alive. Great great job!

Back in the 1920s/30s when sales tax was introduced, companies had to decide whether to include the tax in the item's price, eat the cost, or pass it along to the customers. As we are all painfully aware, it was passed along to the consumers. This is a really creative way of combining credit/store card rewards with sales tax in consumer's minds. Of course money is fungible, so it doesn't matter if the reward is covering sales tax or just a fixed percent (although the later could be higher than most fixed percents depending on state). Regardless, an interesting experiment.

I'm surprised it took them this long to kick him out of the Embassy. Talk about overstaying your welcome.
