Nailgun··on I employ 1,200 people and have no HR department [video]
I have never dealt with HR and came away happy or less stressed.
Nailgun··on Nobody designs for small iPhone devices anymore
With all of the annoyances that Safari ios provides, I genuinely consider it the spiritual successor to IE.

Just to catch up, thank you, I used mullvad and been happy. Connecting to Germany or Netherlands is no problem for speed.

Do you have any recommendations for VPN providers?

Is there anything I can do about this as a citizen to protect my privacy?
Nailgun··on My bank sent me 64 copies of the same debit card
Shouldn't that be taken care of? I just mean I made terrible Flash Games once and learned that on the first week of the job. I actually still see this on payment gateways with banks. "IF SOMETHING DOESNT HAPPEN IN 60 SECS DON'T TRY AGAIN UNTIL YOU CHECK PAYMENT WAS NOT TAKEN".
Nailgun··on The Importance of Learning CSS
I am totally feeling this!

Especially your last point. I want to do something with B, but I break A and C somehow. Or I change A to fix B but all of A breaks down. I google it, and there is a menu of choices. On week 3 the first one worked, on week 6 it all breaks down, so I go back to A and C, but it breaks A again.

I am really lazy with this.

I feel like no one knows CSS properly, whereas for my previous listed technologies, you can learn it without the "shotgun" approach.

I have always known I am missing something but never been able to put my hand on what that lightbulb is.

Edit! Also due to the "menu" effect, when I do put my trust in someone, it doesn't actually apply. Like an OOP programmer using global constants everywhere! So what I learned was actually incorrect, but now I am polluted by garbage...

Nailgun··on The Importance of Learning CSS
I got into Javascript, the DOM, SVG, Canvas, WebGL but never CSS. I genuinely hate it with a passion. It is just one of those things that always annoy me and can't really explain why. I came from the Flash Runtime a long time ago where I used to easily control the display list. It might be that.
Nailgun··on Show HN: Vellum – An interactive list of nonfiction books reviewed by academics
I had been letting reading slip this year, and went to see what Bill Gates was doing (his reading list has been reasonable).

So this comes at a perfect time for me. Thank you for sharing. I will certainly be going through your stem list.

Nailgun··on Diablo II: Resurrected
Go "inconito". I think something I had filled the date to make me too young. It's ridiculous that entering drop down fields proves your age.
Nailgun··on Diablo II: Resurrected
Ha this always made me laugh since 96.

Nailgun··on Mars becomes the 2nd planet that has more computers running Linux than Windows
I agree, I can't remember the last time windows crashed. My home PC is a 2014 low-budget build and I don't recall any blue screens of death or freezes.

I often wonder if people run Windows on a potato to account for all the crashes people seem to have.

Nailgun··on Ask HN: Team fun event ideas during WFH?
The best team events are no events.
Nailgun··on How to lower the price of plant-based meat
Are there any commercial products and has anyone tried it? I do recall some video somewhere of a US restaurant and people said it was reasonable but that could have been plant based.
