I saw it too - props to the engineer that set page title to "Error 502 (Server Error)!!1"

DownDetector picked up a surge of ~7k a few minutes ago

Echo the love for this podcast, one of the easiest subscription purchases I’ve ever made. Jack is a great storyteller.

Google was a fan of it, too. You should look into project oxygen.

Exactly, deathbycaptcha is one I’ve seen in action more than 5 years ago. This stuff has been human powered for way longer than that.

“See this smile? Ear to ear, baby!”

Just signed up, I'd like to have my wife try this out as well. Am I able to share my account with her?

Yeah that’s pretty brutal.

This lines up with my experience working on product features for customers that have accessibility requirements. From what I’ve seen, most larger companies that care about accessibility (usually for fear of lawsuits) have internal folks testing with NVDA specifically. This is another great reason to use it for your testing because you can be confident the odds of someone checking your work with NVDA are good.

That’s a dangerous generalization imo. There are absolutely organizations that value folks who are receptive to constructive criticism and who are willing to keep an open mind about all sorts of things. These companies screen carefully for characteristics that align with that culture and I can say from experience that it produces a much better working environment.

I switched jobs during the pandemic and my productivity has been incredible. I was doing great WFH in my last role but my current employer has much better support for this environment.

I won’t claim that any single tool is a miracle but I have found Clockwise combined with Google Calendar to make coordinating with others a breeze. The automatic status management in Slack when you’re in “focus time” or a meeting is great for signaling to others whether their question is better suited for a public channel over DMs.

For me at least, productivity when WFH comes from having a proper environment (noise cancelling headphones and an office are a life saver when your partner is watching the screaming toddler) and working in an organization that embraces distributed teams.

Edit: If you’re considering a switch to an org that does remote right, feel free to hit me up for a quick chat.

The 1337 could be a nod to gamer culture because it stands for “leet” and may be popular with the folks who participate in bug bounties. Pure speculation on my part here.

EDIT: yep, looks like I missed all the other comments pointing this out, mobile app didn’t load them for some reason. Leaving the comment anyway.

Are you implying he owns the copyright?

I loved my Quest, even purchased prescription lens inserts for a better experience and after the Facebook account change I stopped using it entirely. Pretty sad to have it collect dust but this change was bad enough that I’d rather just give it up altogether.

Why are you shocked? Video games are an awesome way to unwind and get lost in other worlds. They can appeal to folks of all ages and backgrounds.

Thank you for this, needed a chuckle this morning.

That’s annoying yet pretty predictable, at least we’ve still got https://pi-hole.net/ as an option until DNS encryption becomes widespread :/

I love it, thanks!

“ POWERED BY FACEBOOK

Quest 2 requires your Facebook account to login, making it easy to meet up with friends in VR and discover communities around the world. You can explore as yourself or pick a new name by creating a unique VR profile.”

That’s too bad, device looks cool but this is a dealbreaker for me.

I’ll echo this, sharing your profit model here is the only reason I’m paying any attention to GraphHopper (awesome name btw)

Thank you very much for doing that.

Anecdote, I’m down to 190lbs from nearly 230 about 4 months ago and IF has been an amazing tool to aid me in reduced caloric intake.

Honestly I think just having a routine was a big help but eliminating the time (after 8PM for me) that I’d most frequently snack on junk food made a huge difference.

For anyone looking for an iOS app to help track, fast habit is what I use and gladly paid the one time upgrade price. It has a few bugs related to adjusting inputs that annoy me but overall the app does help. In my case I think the biggest benefit to tracking the cycles is the constant commitments involved in “checking in”.

YMMV but for me, having a routine and making commitments were big factors in getting me to stick to the plan. I still eat some junk food to stay sane (took my family out for ice cream just last weekend) but generally I find it easier to pass on unhealthy food when I’m able to understand the disruption it can have on the progress I’m already enjoying.

TLDR: it works for me and feels sustainable, if you’ve struggled with weight loss then I’d suggest at least trying a few weeks.

Botnets have no problem existing across many regions, this sounds like the most plausible scenario imho.

One quick follow up after trying this a bit, is there an option to prioritize a given task within a “slot”?

Sometimes I think of things to do that should really be done before a few other items in the same day

Yeah this is also something I’d like to see

This looks pretty good and I'll give it a shot, I've been fairly keen on disabling notifications in general so the lack of them here is more of a selling point because I don't feel like I'm handicapping myself.

Do the accounts posting this information look suspicious? I’m not doubting your claim at all, merely curious about the prevalence of astroturfing on HN.

“I also looked into sentry.io which is one of the best headless CMS out there but the pricing plans were very much beyond what I can afford.”

Am I missing a joke here?

If only there were some way to penalize bloated websites exhibiting anti-user behavior. /s

My thoughts exactly!

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. I'll add this to my pihole config.

Are these requests sent to a separate domain? I may have missed it in the article but it’d be great to know whether we could null route these without disrupting functionality.
