Same.


Give the EPA a break guys, they're doing asbestos they can.


Humor on HN? Is this allowed?

Upvote deserved.


Something something tragedy; something something statistic!

Now off to the Gulag!


> Splatoon 2

I'd argue that this is the essential game for the Switch. Most fun I've had in 30+ years of gaming.


Internal URL shortener, every single time. They get rave reviews and in one case ended up being considered a core service that had to be up.


Can you explain what the purpose/benefit of this is?


It turns a mess of internal sharepoint/wiki/confluence links into an easily memorable namespace that can be 'linked to' verbally or on post-it notes.

A common hostname is 'go', so when you launch some new programme, project or tool, you can put 'go/projectname', or 'go/toolname' in places like chat topics, email footers and presentation slides.

Applicable in larger places that end up with a mess of different documentation systems, and where trying to unify everything would be a waste of time.


The fact is, many open source software projects provide their own Dockerfile (and in many cases, images). Using these is akin to downloading and deploying a release tarball.


That's one diddle that can't be undone. Does the author really think deleting his old posts is going to somehow cover all the cached copies of his data? Not to mention all the little picadillos in the metadata Axiom has on him that they gleaned from said data? Articles like this make me fear for tech journalism.


It can't necessarily be undone, but if you're among the people who is skeeved out by surveillance capitalism, you can at least try to reduce future level of exposure going forward.

Also, if you're worried about the long-term psychological impact of social media, with all its dark patterns designed to get you to spend more and more time distracted by their sites and apps, then all you really have to do there is switch the distractions off. Deleting one's Facebook account isn't the only way to do that, but it's certainly an effective option.


> A merger of Netflix and HBO is such a face-smackingly obvious win/win I can't imagine why it hasn't happened already.

Because HBO isn't independently held; its owned by Time Warner.


Conglomerates don't do M&A anymore?

And just keep pulling on that sweater thread: combining the subscriber platform of Netflix, the content & cable capabilities of HBO and their boxing connections, along with sweetheart win/win deals for streaming as much of Time Warners catalog as makes sense... That's exactly the kind of slightly-adult-oriented position I'd want to go head-to-head with Disney/ABC/Pixar/Lucasarts/ESPN in the forthcoming streaming war. Plus bigger budgets, which is a factor since Netflix is a verifiable money printing machine.


I feel your pain. I was using BetterTouchTool to remap the default behavior of that green +, but eventually decided it was silly to use an add-on for something I should be able to change via `defaults`, so I just trained myself to hit Option when I wanted to maximize.


It's also possible to double click anywhere on the top bar of a window to "maximize."


> The window system itself was better-thought-out and less-confusing than Windows's was

I miss window shades so much.


There used to be some good haxies that would let you do this on OSX, not sure what their current state of support/brokenness is.


Yup, I remember using them. WindowBlindsX if I recall. It worked alright, but it was never as snappy as shades were.
