My input is text, my output is text. Inbetween is my brain. I make machines do things.

Second that. Our garage is full of their 50L boxes with the XL lid, perfectly fitting those industrial shelves. Very versatile and long lasting. Even after nearly ten years, they look pretty much the same, and we live in harsh climate near the coast.
That's not very punk, is it?
But aren't those the same startups that think they need to run on AWS EKS instead of using a single cheap server? The cheapest used Hetzner server currently is €39.24 / month:
- Intel Core i7-6700 - 32 GB - 2 x 480 GB Datacenter SSD - 1 GB/s - 20 TB traffic
Their VPS are even cheaper. And you can run a lot on this.

Thank you for your thought experiment. As I was slowly typing a response into the HN response form, I had a feeling that my thoughts on this would be better suited as a blog post:
That was my first thought as well.
Before I eventually switched to PHP, I ended up writing multiple CMS-like solutions that would run via `cgi-bin` but write contents to the webroot (what we would now call a static site generator). As I was quite limited with the standard shared hosting at the time, I ended up inventing my own single file database format (it was a simple text file) to keep state. It worked quite beautifully and kept me afloat for the first few years of my life as a web developer around the early 2000s.
I was aware of ActivePerl and quite liked Komodo. Thankfully I could keep myself from doing things on Windows/IIS apart from a brief stint writing a single file CMS in ASP.
Really Read the Error Message and Try to Understand What’s Written
This is a surprising stumbling block for a lot of developers when they encounter a problem. Most times the solution is hiding in plain sight (albeit at least one level of abstraction lower sometimes) and reading what the error was can help to quickly solve an issue.
Anecdotal evidence: We use `asdf` for managing Python, Go and NodeJS versions for our main project. On a fresh Fedora/Ubuntu install, running `asfd install` fails to compile Python as it is missing a few dependencies that are required for Python's standard library. The output that is provided when the `asdf` command fails is pretty self explanatory IF you care to read it.
Do AI customers next!
Is it just me that finds it ironic that you're looking for software developers?
Can you spec a N100 system with 8GB of RAM and at least 32 GB of (slow) SSD and land around the £100 / $120 price point of a Raspberry Pi 500 with 27W power adapter?
Not to mention the GPIO header.
My eBay account of 20 years got cancelled because I followed their customer support's suggestion of opening a new one. And now I can't sell on eBay anymore:

Thank you, much appreciated.
As mentioned in the article: Porkbun. A friend of mine uses Cloudflare as they don't charge on top the registration and ICANN fees that they have to pay (or so they say on https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/registrar/)
But then what's the plan behind this change anyway? Am I going to scramble to buy 19 more domains? Of course not! I'll move and they'll get $15 less a year (or whatever they charge for a .net these days)

Really going for the "home" in homepage.
I don't think any of your links substantiate the claim that US healthcare expenditure subsidises global R&D on healthcare, only that healthcare is more expensive in the US (which I personally think is more due to an extremely ineffective system with an unhealthy amount of middlemen that inflate prices).
US subsidizes most of global R&D for healthcare
Do you have any numbers to back this claim up?
there's far less flexibility if they are a bad hire
In most European countries any new employee will be on probation for an initial period [1] during which they can be let go easily.

The LinkedIn engagement algorithm is a bit off the rails.
I can recommend this article by Hannah Ritchie which paints a much more realistic picture:

Have you considered your target audience when writing or before sending that email about that TOS change?
What really peeved me was that bit:
If you do not want to be governed by the updated TOS, be sure to close your account before the updated TOS applies to you.
My immediate reaction was to look for alternatives to Sentry and/or to self-host for the time being. Judging by the comments here I'm not the only one. Instead of this cold, matter of fact kind of tone, why not explain the reason for wanting to collect data, give an example, etc.
Why not sell this as a win instead of telling us to fuck off if we don't like it?
After reading this HN post in the morning, I've received one of those SPF ~all beg bounties via email today. It ends with:
From: whiteboxtesting01@gmail.com
Waiting for your response and hoping for a bounty reward for responsibly disclosing this issue to your website. Furthermore, I may attempt to contact you again if I do not receive a response to ensure that my message has reached you.
I've just checked our code, and we use `oldest_first`, not `newest_first`.
We've been using it for a year, as we often had the problem that somebody would push an update after an initial publish of a branch, not stopping the first branch and then two or more deploy jobs racing each other with unpredictable results.
There's also a third way called resource groups [1]. We use that to ensure that we only run the newest job if we have multiple deployment jobs waiting for execution. This way even if we have multiple pipelines racing each other, only the last deployment job wins.

[...] Garza called law enforcement, who detained him and placed him in solitary confinement for three days at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center in Brownsville.
Of all the people involved in that decision and its execution, did anybody even had a fleeting thought of this being wrong?
Funny enough, I used to think that, but overall having the people that actually build the software make a hosted version ends up being better value IMO.
Our self hosted Gitlab instance needed a lot of hand holding over the years, occasional memory upgrades and involved much more work than initially anticipated. Also keep in mind that you need to spend time to keep the thing up to date and get latest features, which there have been quite a few good ones added over the years.
