There are communities where you can rent someone else's credit score as an authorized user.
PascLeRasc··on Twitter limits unverified accounts to reading 600 posts/day
It's like how scams put in typos on purpose to save effort. If I was an advertiser I'd really want to target people who donate $8 a month to Twitter.
PascLeRasc··on Why a browser and mail combination is worth it
About a year ago.
PascLeRasc··on Why a browser and mail combination is worth it
Gmail also just works for me, and Fastmail did not. After FM killed two job interview cycles by not RSVPing to calendar invites I came to the realization that it would be unethical in the efficient altruism sense for me to not use Gmail.

The difference is no one misses them.
PascLeRasc··on In praise of blowing up your life
Before taking advice from these comments, please think about Nonsurvivor Bias. Do you think someone who blew up their life and had it go incredibly well is spending their morning on Hacker News? Is that how your ideal summer day would be, when Golden Gate Park is right there?
PascLeRasc··on Edge sends images you view online to Microsoft
That's how I've been framing it too, something like "I do my best work on Linux/Mac". A couple places that have seemed otherwise fine have acted weird though, Tesla especially.
PascLeRasc··on Edge sends images you view online to Microsoft
This has happened to me several times.

How are you verifying this in job interviews? Not using Windows is at the top of my list of wants in a new job, to me it'd be as good as a $10k raise. But I'm aware that asking about this during an interview sounds petty.

Can't wait to see these at high school graduations

Recent phones like the 3GS have a camcorder built in and fit in a pocket.
PascLeRasc··on HBO Max new Captcha system
I would have picked a different mission statement
PascLeRasc··on HBO Max new Captcha system
More like it was previously determined by someone who doesn't work there anymore that there would be a new app, and and no one is allowed to Deviate from the System Architecture Specification Trace Matrix.

10 is within the right amount of time complexity - someone else can correct me on the phrasing, I'm only an electrical engineer.
PascLeRasc··on Why You Should Give Up on Your Dreams
I just saw a Twitter bio that said "2x father 2x Ironman finisher". Thank god for the blue check blocker extension.
PascLeRasc··on Kanboard: free and open source Kanban project management software
There's a plugin to customize the UI that comes with a lot of good themes: https://github.com/creecros/Customizer
PascLeRasc··on JPMorgan Chase and Co tracks employees to dystopian extents
You're morally right, but they'd flip it around and ask why you chose to create a situation where inappropriate images are being stored on company infrastructure.
PascLeRasc··on Mercedes EVs can go faster for $60 a month
It isn't even enthusiasm, it's the most passive "doesn't make sense not to" type of reasoning.
PascLeRasc··on MSFT is forcing Outlook and Teams to open links in Edge and IT admins are angry
Do you know what setting I need to use to enable deleting emails without first archiving and un-archiving them?
PascLeRasc··on People who use Notion to plan their whole lives
I just got home yesterday from a 2 week vacation. I was feeling especially relaxed during the trip, much more than usual. I thought this was due to how good I had gotten at thought exercises and managing anxiety, and I didn't want to forget what I was doing that led to this so I bought a notebook. After I started writing I lost the sense of detachment that was so pleasant and couldn't get it back the rest of the trip.
PascLeRasc··on People who use Notion to plan their whole lives
I see a therapist who specializes in OCD. They believe that the mood journal trend around 2010-2015 led to a lot of people - nearly all of their patients including me - having a compulsion to write down and re-think/overvalue every passing thought.

Your brakes use mineral oil, and you can use any kind of mineral oil you want in there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63VIuPiX3CA
PascLeRasc··on Bing Chat now has ads
I’m confused why you think you can attribute the taste and culture of Github to Microsoft, since you seem to know that they did not create it. I’d say Github’s text editor has gone downhill since Microsoft bought it and reassigned the maintainers to a slower and clunkier editor.

You’re right about how the tabloid news in your taskbar just works, in that it’s always there and I’m not allowed to turn it off.
PascLeRasc··on Transitioning Away from Google Services
Please keep in mind that by using Authy you're implicitly supporting the use of SMS 2FA everywhere. We need to push companies to get off of SMS 2FA and giving Twilio another user to put on their quarterly report isn't going to help.
PascLeRasc··on Transitioning Away from Google Services
Why do you need to stop using something you like? Certainly use Firefox instead of Chrome so you can keep using an adblocker, and lie about not using any Google stuff on HN so you aren't burned at the stake. But there's no bonus points in real life for making yours more difficult.
PascLeRasc··on AI for developers and Google Workspace
A professional midwestern 1-on-1 starts with the assumption that no work was performed since the last one and it falls on the underling to prove otherwise during this time.
PascLeRasc··on AI for developers and Google Workspace
In manager speak, because the meeting was created by someone higher on the org chart, it doesn't stand to reason that we can find fault with it.
