Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?**
Hi HN!
I am looking to buy a laptop for software development in the 0 to $2000 (USD) range.
What I am looking for:
1\\. Durability: battery life is important to me as well as general longevity of the hardware i.e. I would like it to last a long time.
2\\. Linux support: I use Linux as my OS of choice and I have _no_ intention of using Windows/MacOS
3\\. Optimized for intensive computing usage.
Other things of note:
I looked into the Framework laptops ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?**
Curious to know if anyone has written programs for their own, regular, & personal use. And if so what they are? E.g. A colleague of mine tracks all of his homes energy use through a custom program which disaggregates the energy consumption per device and outputs a report to a tablet.

Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
Hi HN community,
I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish.
The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use \\tar\\; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: When did 7 interviews become “normal”?**
edit: I love this community! Thank you so much for all the insight. For those who complained, I'm sorry if this post comes across as complainy or redundant, I respect the HN hive-mind and was genuinely curious about everyone's thoughts on the matter.
Hello fellow travelers, I'll do my best to keep this brief(ish).
I've been in IT professionally since Y2K, data entry->QA->SysAdmin->PM->consultant->founder->sold and with the money took some years off, bought some property and ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: If you used to be socially awkward and shy, how did you improve?**
Recently, I cannot help but notice how shy and socially awkward I might be at times, which is quite frustrating.
To be fair to myself, I am not awful in social situations in that depending on the context I can be seemingly confident and calm, especially when I am among people I know and the context is familiar.
When it comes to new people and places, everything changes dramatically. My voice changes, my posture changes, everything changes. I can st ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: Who operates at scale without containers?**
In other words, who runs operations at a scale where distributed systems are absolutely necessary, without using any sort of container runtime or container orchestration tool?
If so, what does their technology stack look like? Are you aware of any good blog posts?
edit : While I do appreciate all the replies, I'd like to know if there are any organizations out there who operate at web scale without relying on the specific practice of shipping software with heaps of depen ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2022)
Please state the location and include REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA
when that sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is _not_ an option,
include ONSITE.

recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per company. If it isn't a household name,
please explain what your company does.
Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about
something. It's off topic here.
Readers: please only email if you are ... ⌘ Read more
Tell HN: If You Are in Russia
Every Russian citizen and every Russian company that is currently relying on businesses in the West such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and so on for hosting, communications, connectivity and other services should expect those services to be cut off at some point in the near future, and plan accordingly. This also goes for stuff deeply integrated into services in your home country that you have come to rely on, which may stop to function.
Regardless, you won't be able to pay for any of these s ... ⌘ Read more
Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
Just received this email:
Dear XXXX,
Unfortunately, due to the Russian regime's war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine, we will no longer be providing services to users registered in Russia. While we sympathize that this war may not affect your own views or opinion on the matter, the fact is, your authoritarian government is committing human rights abuses and engaging in war crimes so this is a policy decision we have made and will stand by.

Tell HN: YouTube and how my wife lost 7 years of work
I just wanted to share an experience as a warning to fellow users of hacker news and in the hope that somehow someway 7 years and countless hours can be recovered.
I've never posted anything like this, but this is the only place I have any hope of a human response after youtube deleted 700 videos created for internal training for our company. My wife started a company that helps people transition from colleges in their home country (for instance the IIT system in Indi ... ⌘ Read more
