I used to run a company card for testing Stripe on prod, and then just processed a refund afterward. It was mildly inconvenient, and eventually I just stopped because there was never actually a difference between their staging and prod behaviour.

I don't think people who create adult content should be excluded. It's a valid job which — like streaming, painting, or any other online content creation — just isn't for everyone.

I'd argue that there's a difference in what colors appear "unappealing" between print and screen.

Staring directly into a bright, magenta-colored screen would certainly be unpleasant. Printing it onto a non-emissive material like cardboard, though, would probably look quite nice.

If we start predicting that the 2020's will be the rise of the remote-working 6-hour workday, maybe it will catch even more momentum and finally become true.

I'm a bit confused, this blog post is written as if it's an exploit, but it looks like it's the intended functionality? Am I missing something?

In Trello, on a card:

Click the "Edit" menu > "move" > select board, column, position.

Not as convenient as drag and drop, but it's possible to do.

> I'd still humbly suggest everyone to give Firefox a try.

I just can't get past the font weight rendering and the scroll bars. Is there any way to make them not look terrible?

Probably because HN is mostly frequented by programmers, and not managers or "startup entrepreneurs" who throw around terms like "10x programmer" as if it's a thing that actually exists, and not a harmful concept that at best promotes gatekeeping and at worst promotes egotists who believe that their sloppy shortcuts won't have to be cleaned up by everyone else when they inevitably fail.

I use an online service called JustWatch that searches through all of the platforms at once. Huge time saver.

Completely agree, and I'd like to add that it should only be broken out when performance is actually a measurable issue and there's a good business case for it.

A lot of people get caught up on "x is slow, y is fast" and try to over-architect too early on, then end up focusing on the wrong parts of their product, and sooner or later the project falls apart.

Really tired of people thinking "healthy eating" is just calorie count and salt content. There's so much more to nutrition than these two numbers.

I mean, nothing is truly free, but I'm not the one paying for it in this situation, so for me it is free.
