I don't have any Spotify playlists for you, but personally, I always listen to metal. It puts me in a productive mood and allows me to block out all other distractions.

Sometimes I listen to Bandit Rock (http://www.bandit.se).

Disclaimer: I also listen to metal most the time when I'm not programming. :-)

Now that is a UX-oriented landing page. Jump straight in and use the product.

Regarding buried goods - it depends on the truck. I don't know about the US, but in the UK curtain-sided lorries aren't uncommon, making it relatively easy to access pretty much ever part of the trailer.

For those wondering, they've upped the base specs and dropped the prices slightly. Nothing completely 'new', per se.

It's a nice site. Enjoyed reading the reviews on Sweden. :-) Thanks.

> If you are arrested, it means you are taken to a police station where a whole lot of rights/procedures/paperwork kicks in. Different countries have different points where they hit the dividing line between detaining and arresting.

I'm not sure that's true. On every UK police program I've seen (mostly traffic-related - Road Wars, Police Interceptors, etc), frequently they'll arrest someone at the roadside, then de-arrest them when they've finished their inquiries.

That, and ugly hacks are easier. I was only kidding. :-)

It looks like ugly hacks are far more popular than clever ones.

"Police detained"? Aka "arrested"?

I assumed this was going to be some sort of service for storing bitcoin private keys in... cold storage (i.e. offline, in an uber-secure physical bank/safe or something). Whoops!

Would have been nice if the spinning was smoother, for that added dizziness-inducing effect.

The infographic around half way down the page is really well put together.

It's considered even better writing style to be clear with your titles.

When clicking on this, I assumed there would be either; cited facts or a general consensus from a large number of users that this font is "the best". Instead, what this is, is an opinion.

> Retina screens make subtle strokes and thinner weights look better, and M+ does that: its thin is ethereal, almost a stick font.

Opinion.

> It’s much narrower than average, so 80 characters per line can fit in less than half of my screen width - so I can use a vertical split in vim to edit two or more files at a time.

My opinion is that you might as well just use a smaller font size if this is an issue. Narrowing makes things harder to read than proportionately down-sizing - to me.

> It covers Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Kanji and Kana: beyond that, few monospace fonts will do, though you can always fall back to Arial Unicode.

Don't most other mainstream fonts?

> It’s clear: 0 is slashed to differentiated it from O, and 1 is easy to tell apart from I, and l.

Don't most other mainstream fonts?

Edit: Just to be clear - I don't have a downer on the initiative of creating fonts (especially when they're open source and trying to make life easier for programmers), I'm just shooting the breeze over a bit of grammar. I'm sure lots of people will/do like this font. :)

> "The best monospace font for programmers is M+."

Seems there's a bit of a grammar issue here, I've fixed it for you:

"My favourite monospace font for programming is M+."

Wow, an average of 30 terminals at all times? Just out of curiosity... what for exactly? Real-time monitoring?

It strikes me as more of a rhetorical question/could have just as easily been ended with an ellipsis.

But yeah... ha-ha. :)

TIL: Symfony has a high learning curve.

How witty.

(Apologies to anyone with a sarcasm-detecting extension that I just broke).

I'm totally not sold on the practically of so-called walking desks.

Reading text on a screen whilst your head is bobbing up and down, trying to make fine-motor-movements to click and type whilst walking, sounds like a recipe for low productivity.

Why not get 3 hours of real work done, followed by 1 hour of real exercise, rather than 4 of neither?

Or if you're determined to combine (computer) work with exercise, a reclined exercise bike you can slide under a proper desk might be the better bet... at least your upper-body will be stable then.

Kudos for at least thinking about your health, anyway!

It was never alive.

> In every situation where I switched a job my current employer was willing to match my offer.

Doesn't that bother you?

That means in every instance, your current employer agrees that you're in fact worth more than they were paying. Why weren't they paying you that in the first place?

For these kinds of negotiations, I'd expect a 6-month back payment at the matched offer rate.

Ah. Now I feel stupid. Thanks!

"Can", but shouldn't...

Care to explain, since I've thought about it for a few minutes and still don't "get it"? :-)

Is it just me, or is the password field (on the signup form) just a regular text field, rather than type='password'?

An odd choice of TLD, for presumably globally universal Swift resources.

Metal as a service... \0/

I don't see what that has to do with the impact on my thread...?

The freelancing threads (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7162201, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5803767, etc) are popular, appear to be well-received and reliably receive a number of up-votes.

For some reason, me asking for people's experiences in that thread is attracting a number of down-votes. Odd.

Interesting that this thread has gained so much traction. I created an "Ask HN" submission this morning asking about people's experiences with the monthly "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" threads, which got ignored and promptly burried!

I can deduce a few possibilities from this, thus far:

- Nobody has had any success with the freelancer threads

- Nobody wants to share

- I'm impatient

- All of the above
