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.

Especially if your keys are blanks.

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?

Must've been the Gates of Galloo devs

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.

Not Google but similar. I learned that my motivation is proportional to the quality and amount of free food I receive. This includes willingness to participate in pointless meetings.

Note: this is not something I'm particularly proud of or anything. Just an observation.

"Five passengers aboard a sightseeing helicopter drowned after a passenger allegedly tried to take a 'shoe selfie' leading to the passenger's safety tether getting caught in the emergency fuel shutoff lever."

Man, I'd be so pissed if I died because someone was trying to take a stupid selfie.

If you logged in with a GitHub account and starred their project, you would be entered into a contest for a chance to win some products (or gift cards) like Baskin Robbins, Starbucks, movie tickets, etc.

I run VSCode, Slack, Discord, GitHub, and my company's own app. There are others out there that I would use but my memory pressure is already too high.

The fee is to pay for the ISO's operating costs of maintaining and distributing the standards. They do have a section of publicly available standards, if you're interested: https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/

The team hasn’t even coined a name for the physical process by which identical solids can melt into distinct liquids. “If someone else wants to name it, then they can,” Threlfall says.

I think this is a challenge. Is HN up to the task?

Not sure why this is getting downvoted? I honestly expected an article about ColdFusion when I opened it. Someone else even posted the same thing half an hour later...

For some reason I was expecting this to be about Adobe ColdFusion

Wow, I wish 40 nuggets cost 10 bucks here. It's $25 CAD ($18.56 USD)

TIL, thats pretty cool and makes a lot of sense. I used to work at a mine and we'd break expensive parts all the time, the supplier would have to ship them in from halfway across the world. They should really do something like that.

I'm excited for the future when we'll finally have day-before shipping, where ML predicts what I want before I even order it.

I'm really no expert on the whole BPA thing, and I've read a lot of mixed research about it. I say "considered" toxic because of some of the research that has come out about it. I think ultimately we're not totally sure of the impact it has on health. There are quite a few studies done on this so far but none are particularly conclusive.

Here's one relating to cashiers: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4824622/

And a more generalized one relating to factory workers who produce products containing BPA (like thermal paper): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5634705/

It seems the government of France is also taking a stance against the use of thermal paper in the EU. There have been some concerns about BPA levels in groundwater, too, but this would be from all sources of BPA that end up in landfills, not just thermal paper.

Calling it "highly" toxic might not be entirely accurate when compared to something like radium, but one of the issues with BPA is we're not entirely sure of the health impacts. As a hormone disruptor, it seems to manifest in undetectable ways (links to heart disease, infertility, etc.) so it may be hard to pin down the effects of exposure until enough historical data has been gathered.

According to Health Canada (my country) 92.7% of their sample population had BPA concentrations in blood, a number that actually increased in the 7 years after it was banned from consumer products. (https://globalnews.ca/news/3694669/bpa-blood-samples-common/)

I'm also not trying to call for an immediate ban on it or anything like that, but merely stating that creating more of it without solving this problem is probably not a great idea.

The print volume matters. These new receipts would be at least 3x longer than they need to be, and thermal paper:

a) costs money

b) is considered to be highly toxic

c) often isn't accepted by local recycling programs (but people still throw receipts in anyway)

d) ultimately end up in the garbage, or even just littering street corners.

Adding these black bars and bubble charts makes the receipt three times longer than it needs to be. Printing millions of these a year would be a huge waste for something that hardly anyone would look at. The side-by-side picture in this article has the "new" receipt cropped off at the bottom, showing only half of the things that were purchased on the same amount of paper. Add all of the pricing information, addresses, etc. and that full receipt would be insanely long.

Receipt paper is already an environmental nightmare. Let's not add more of it.

We both lost cafeteria breakfast/lunch when we got new jobs after moving.

Making dinner used to be really easy, just grab some fresh ingredients on the way home and throw together something small and healthy.

Now it's a whole performance. We're constantly trying to make bulk meals, and store the rest for breakfast/lunch. We've gone from preparing 2 servings of food per day to 6 or more. We needed to buy larger kitchen appliances and equipment just to cook/store it all. There are 3x more groceries (We shop on foot and bought one of those little carts) and 3x more dishes. It doesn't seem like much but I've lost at least 30 mins a day, but probably a lot more on average. The food I am eating is, on average, less healthy, less diverse, and less tasty (I am no professional chef).

This article just seemed to resolve to a point that free lunch was a corporate tool to discourage "family formation", and I ultimately disagree. I think a lot of working parents would love to not have to worry about preparing their own lunch meal on top of their families.

I just don't see the connection of "free food == single life", and the article doesn't really establish one. At worst I'd still end up with the same amount of time, and at best it has given me more free time to spend with my family.

I disagree with pretty much everything in this article. I've never been happier than when I worked for a company that provided free, daily, healthy lunches. We were never coerced into working through dinner.

Now I have to food prep dinner and lunch. I'm making 4x the portions just so we each have enough to eat for leftovers. I spend way more of my personal time cooking and doing groceries and not with my family or working on my projects. Food waste has skyrocketed since everything is bought in bulk, and sometimes not all of it gets used. It's created way more dishes too, in meal prep and tupperwares.

Sometimes we ate out the night before, or there are just no leftovers. I can either get unhealthy fast food, wait an hour to get served at a healthy place, or spend even more of my limited personal time preparing a meal for the next day.
