Okay, so people who had historically high-paying jobs, who were at a high-paying company with above-average severance, didn't have anxiety around layoffs. You can't say anxiety around layoffs is purely about mental health without looking at the financial aspect of it.


Tiny suggestion - instead of

  .map(g => { return { key: g.key, rows: g.rows.map(r => r[1]) }})
you can write

  .map(g => ({ key: g.key, rows: g.rows.map(r => r[1]) }))


You could also destructure g to end up with:

.map(({ key, rows }) => ({ key, rows: rows.map(r => r[1]) }))


also:

  .map(({ key, rows }) => ({ key, rows: rows.map(([page, link]) => link) }))
and

  .groupBy(p => p[0])
to

  .groupBy(([link, file]) => link)

Simple doesn't mean "I should be able to intuitively understand this with under a minute of reading"...


With so many tools floating in this space the landing page MUST be clear enough. Sorry.


This project has seemingly picked up a bunch of traction. The number of times it has appeared on the front page of this website serves as some indication, as well as the plethora of conference talks.

You seemed unwilling to put more than 2 minutes into looking at an example, or 10 seconds into checking what page you were on, yet felt that your experience warranted these dismissive comments which cumulatively proportionally surely took up just as much time.

You aren’t acting in good faith. This doesn’t add to the conversation at all.


here is the landing page:

My gut reaction was "wow that sounds boring" but then I reread it and realized I would have absolutely been excited about this in high school.


It was mostly a side attraction while we played Smash Bros or whatnot. But the best part is watching a super drunk person trying to install windows. It was hilarious.


Was this off of CD-ROM or a stack of floppies? I think 3.11 was the last of the floppies, but memory is hazy around what 95 install media was. Pretty sure 98 was CD, but that could be a fun "bonus round" to force an install from floppy.


I know I've installed Win95 off of floppies. Don't recall the exact number, but believe it was around 40-50 3.5" floppies. It came in a box about the length of a shoe box.


OS/2 Warp was 40 or so floppies, and sold at such a discount that buying a copy was the cheapest way I knew to get high quality floppies when I was in college


This was brilliant


I remember in college seeing a LOT of OS2/Warp floppies, but I never saw any machines running them.

Now I know why.


It was 13. I only remember because that was when I first started learning about computers, and I needed them many times. My Mom loved me.


I have somehow never gotten around to throwing away the box of ancient floppies I've got in a closet from ages ago, and the Windows 95b (OSR2) installation disks I made were still in it, complete with custom color printed labels I splurged on.

The media I copied from took up 28x 3.5" HD floppy disks. It's possible they were copied from what was originally a CD-ROM. I don't remember clearly anymore.

Note: I'm not trying to refute or correct your 13-disk figure, which was clearly a different installation set, and likely original Windows 95 rather than my OSR2, which came out around 1997.


Hrmm. Seems you're right and my memory is way fuzzier than I thought. Raymond Chen also says 13 [0]. Maybe it was just my existential dread of one of the floppies having gone bad that makes me think it was more.

I think Photoshop was around 22 floppies, but things from that time period are quite fuzzy


I think it was closer to 15-20, but then you had a service pack update which was another 10.

Edit: just checked in Google. Win95 was just 13 floppies. But you had MS Office and other software that was additional floppies to install.


It was a CD, but a really low quality burned CD that we eventually scratched the label side on, which stripped the data side off with it. So it was eventually hung from the ceiling with dental floss. We crossed out "98" with marker and wrote in "95", but to be honest, it didn't install anything by then.


Or watching a straight to DVD sequel of starship troopers.


…why does this loudly ring a bell? Do I know you?


Unless this was in northern VA in the late 1990s, I suspect more it’s just that there’s a certain kind of person who is disproportionately represented on HN who spent high school doing certain kinds of things. Did you take apart CRTs to make lifters too: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jrfBrrDfdEA? :D


I mean, who didn’t?


what’s going on there/how does it work?


The sharp high voltage top wire creates an ionized gas, which causes airflow towards the smooth skirt: https://hackaday.com/2016/07/13/expanding-horizons-with-the-...


Yeah...it's like Windows version of Jenga. Which piece will make the tower crumble?


In high school any excuse to drink with friends was most welcome.

We'll, still is, but in high school too.


I know they don't have plans to work with AMD but I'd consider switching to AMD for my next card if EVGA was manufacturing it. They fixed an old card of mine way out of warranty so I have some brand loyalty here.


Same here. I was already considering AMD. Only thing keeping me back was driver stability. Is it as good as NVIDIA’s?


If you're just building an MVP I think doing "magic link" auth is underrated. It's super easy to set up, relatively secure, doesn't need any of the complexity of passwords/sso, and is easy to migrate to a different system in the future.

Auth0 is complete overkill if you don't need their advanced features IMO.


I really like magic link + 2FA which gives a bit more security.


I forgot where I read it, but there's a rumor that Apple is only planning to release a Mini phone every other year.

I have an LG C1, which is an amazing TV, but even after disabling every single ad-related option, I'll still occasionally get a pop-up ad when the TV turns on.


Interesting! I have the same TV and never see ads (I'm on the latest WebOS update). My Pi-Hole actually blocks everything and the only times when I see ads are when I disable the blocking to be able to access the app store.

Edit: To clarify, ads served on the WebOS interface. YouTube ads are still there.


Employers cover a majority of the cost of insurance. In Boston, I pay maybe $70 every 2 weeks for health insurance, but on the private market I'd be paying 5-10x as much for worse coverage.


Do people ever try to negotiate higher salary instead of health endurance from employer and then have a private one instead?


A law called ERISA makes this unlikely. Companies must offer benefits like health insurance and retirement savings plans on the same terms to similarly situated employees.


I've never heard of that, it would cost you more than it would cost the employer since you first have to pay taxes on your income, and employers can often get better rates.
