bad-engineers··on Luck, Tesla design likely saved family that plunged off cliff, experts say
Why did this even turn into a murder charge? This angle is not covered at all, is this insane media stirring?
bad-engineers··on Stripe is about to refund €147k worth of payments to my all of my customers
Whatever is going on, Stripe's behavior looks erratic and unpredictable based on OP's post. I would sure as hell avoid them.

bad-engineers··on Ask HN: What is the best static site generator for an inexeperienced sysadmin?
You might like something I built if you want something really, really simple: https://src.xza.fr/python/blog_generator_py/

But note I didn't doc it as I just made it for personal use. But the way you run it is ./py/generate_blog.py, and you need to have Perl implementation of "markdown" installed (usually apt-get install markdown)

Hugo is nice. I only tested it briefly, the learning curve will be bigger than Wordpress. It generates static HTML in a uniquely "live" kind of way. You could then probably figure out a way to push it to a free service like Heroku, if you don't want to manage a server (incl. web server configs, patches, etc.).

Please rip on my blog post as much as possible
bad-engineers··on ByteDance confirmed it used TikTok to monitor journalists’ physical location
Surprised they paywalled this one. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot! 'Yourself' as both an industry and a specific business.
