phasecode··on How I Made $200k When I Was 16 Years Old Through Coding (2018)
I remember back around the same time in 2008ish, I was reading the old WoW Glider (Glider was a Bot for WoW) forums and came across someone who was running a massive WoW farm from Germany racking in close to 150k a year. It's so interesting to see the transition both games have gone through to embrace the Pay-To-(Somewhat)-Get-Ahead with both WoW offering Tokens ($20 for 150k gold) and RuneScape offering Bonds ($7 for 4 million GP).
phasecode··on Stop using poison on your lawn
>Why poison the earth when you can have wildflowers at your feet and songbirds in your trees without even trying?

Because if my lawn has any random wildflowers the HOA will send a letter and a fine if it isn't fixed within 5 days.

Marcus by Goldman Sachs is offering 2.25% on its High Yield savings accounts, if you can't get into wealthfront. I've been pretty satisfied with the offering.
phasecode··on Ask HN: Clever ways to run a media-heavy website on a budget?
Store your files in backblaze then proxy them through some cheap vps (to cover bandwidth) and add local cache through something like nginx so you're not going to the source frequently.
phasecode··on This is what a 50-qubit quantum computer looks like
Linus (Tech Tips) did a really good walk through at D-Wave's facility here for anyone who's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60OkanvToFI
phasecode··on This Is How Amazon Could Invade the Pharmacy Business
I would love to see Walmarts online growth split apart from the acquisition of Jet. Chance's are they are riding the coattail of that acquisition and once that drys up the only thing left is to spend a ton of money on customer acquisition to fuel "growth". Having both used Amazon and Jet, I find that Amazons customer support and checkout experience is significantly better then Jets.
phasecode··on Intel Delivers 17-Qubit Superconducting Chip
This might be a bit too basic but Kurzgesagt has a great video on Quantum Computers (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhHMJCUmq28).
phasecode··on Metarpheus: A Custom Approach to API Contracts
Off topic: How do you pronounce the name?
phasecode··on Apple does right by users and advertisers are displeased
Hopefully FireFox and-or IE will be the next to step up. I don't see Chrome stepping up until every other browser has.
phasecode··on Bitcoin has died 166 times, so far
Why does it seem like more and more sites are requesting permissions to send notifications...makes it hard to consider this a "trustworthy" site when the first thing you're trying to do is ask for permissions to send notifications.
phasecode··on Draw.io releases open source desktop versions
For those wondering, it's draw.io wrapped in an electron app.
phasecode··on How New York's Roosevelt Island Sucks Away Summer Trash Stink
I wish there were more pictures of the turbines/overall system! Does anyone know how much this costs to run in comparison to normal trash pickups?
phasecode··on Our long term plan to make GitLab as fast as possible with Vue and Webpack
Are there any specific reasons you can point to, rather then a blanket statement?
phasecode··on AWS OpenVPN Endpoint Script
What advantage does this have over the OpenVPN Access Server on the AWS Marketplace? It does everything except attach the EIP at the end.
phasecode··on Improving Perceived Performance by Prefetching Critical SPA Resources
Reminds me of the fine work done by the folks at http://instantclick.io/
phasecode··on Barack Obama commuted sentences of more than 1,000 in prison for drug crimes
Does anyone know if these in jeopardy of being reversed by the Trump Administration?
phasecode··on Ask HN: How much do you earn from side project or passive income?
If you don't get many replies here, there was this thread last month: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12720636
phasecode··on Boards in Asana
This becomes a huge problem when someone is linking you multiple tickets and you sit there waiting for asana to load. Even worse, I find that some basic features are still lacking such as the ability to strikethrough text.
