test1235··on How to Do a Handstand
I think the comment about bro science was about the other comments here on HN, rather than about the article.
test1235··on Ask HN: Docker vs simple DLLs?
it gives a bit of a 'broken window' effect, 'cos while it still irks me now, I'll probably start turning a blind eye to all these warnings only to miss something really critical later on.
test1235··on Ask HN: Docker vs simple DLLs?
I feel like I get this a lot with the NPM cli tool ... No matter how often I update my dockerfiles to the latest version, I'll always end up with a big banner warning message in my build output telling me I'm outdated 'cos it seems NPM updates (and publishes) constantly.

Has anyone come up with a disposable mobile number service, similar to how you can get a temporary email address for signing up to junk?

test1235··on How did Tropicana lose $30M in a packaging redesign?
>Even worse, I may end up buying competing products that look more like the original design than the new design of the same brand.

I wonder what the legal implications would be of copying a product's old abandoned design? Especially if the original was to revert back?

test1235··on My free-software photography workflow
Can you use darktable without the import step?

The place where I store my RAW files is not where I work on them - I'll typically copy them from a memory card to my machine, do whatever processing, then shift them away to storage, so I find the whole idea of a 'library' unecessary.

test1235··on AWS S3: Sometimes you should press the $100k button
mitigation for a flash of unstyled content (FOUC) maybe?
test1235··on Please make a dumb car
the feature to have the window open itself fully after a long-pull of the button feels safer to me in certain situations - means I don't have to spend a few seconds with my dominant hand off the wheel

(and also more convenient in other situations where I need to quickly open the window and actively drive at the same time, e.g. toll booths, drive thru's)

test1235··on Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager
I just switched as well, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to do so. Like you said, it definitely feels nicer to use than lastpass.
test1235··on Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2021?
>Lin-Manuel Miranda used as a reference for the musical

I have to admit - this is a mention of a topic I would not have expected to see on this site in a million years, but yes, this musical is fantastically entertaining, even with a complete ignorance of American history.

test1235··on Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2021?
I absolutely loved The Road, but I couldn't finish Blood Meridian ... I had no interest in the setting or the characters at all.
test1235··on Entire website in a single HTML file
would it blow your mind to know that the vast majority of .net devs I've ever worked with don't know anything about compiling or running a project/solution other than hitting that big green 'play' button in visual studio?
test1235··on Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes (2013)
We got a one of these in Scotland, and I have to say a few years on, we're only just getting rid of the last of the items. Some items were arguably more useful than others (but I think the inventory is reviewed and updated constantly) - we never used the baby box as intended and it could be argued that we never really needed the support, but I can't understand the people who would argue against such an initiative.

People in this country were up in arms when this was first suggested ... bristling with the absolute indignity at the thought of money being spent to help others.

>They still haven't corrected the SEVERE disk read speed when accessing a Windows directory.

I got this when I tried to npm install a project and it was taking forever.
