Job openings, hires and separations were little changed in September, with only a slight rise in the number of people quitting, according to the latest JOLTS report.<img src='https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1661920405150-d3f6f8d6d5d9?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=MnwyMzg1fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8NXx8Sm9iJTIwTWFya2V0fGVufDB8fDJ8fDE2NjIwMjgwNTM&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&q=80&w=1080' />
When you run ingestion infrastructure for multi-branch home service trade fleets and private equity roll-ups, webhook volume spikes during Monday morning ad bursts are brutal. For a long time, the default engineering shortcut for handling this was containerized low-code workflow tools like n8n or Make. They are fast to spin up and let you map schemas without writing raw code. But under heavy adversarial traffic, they hit a hard wall. Here is the technical post-mortem on why we completely strippe
An electric car that costs $10,000 more than its petrol equivalent breaks even after 8.6 years at 12,000 miles a year — and never breaks even at all if you charge it mostly at public fast chargers. Both facts fall out of one small model, and the second one is the reason "EVs are cheaper to run" needs a qualifier.The sticker price is the worst way to compare two cars. What matters is total cost of ownership: purchase price plus everything you pay to keep the car moving over the years you own it.
No matter how difficult you try to reduce ads, they are always present to some degree, whether you’re browsing the internet, using a mobile app, watching a streamed TV show or movie, or using a streaming device. You’ll even find them lurking in video games as background videos or in-game images. No matter, the point is that ads have become a supplemental income stre

Hi HN, my name is Federico. I’m an Italian graphic designer and full stack developer.In recent months, there has been a lot of talk about the "second brain" articles and YouTube videos; everyone is still discussing it, but I see a significant difference between that and what the concept of a second brain means to me.For me, the concept of a "second brain" is about building a 100% private knowledge base which means not uploading my own files (containing sensitive data) to be p
I built an alternative to popular social networks because I was sick of the unending enshittification of instagram. Every UX change in recent years intended to make their app more addictive to teenagers has made me want to use it less, but I don't want to lose contact with the actual people that are close to me. First it was stories to make it your job to open the app every day, and then "everything is a reel" to try to get you to scroll infinitely.This app is a more minimalist wa

If you have a Windows-Linux dual-boot PC, you're probably familiar with the troubles that come with sharing files between the two partitions. You'd expect two operating systems with direct access to the same CPU, RAM, and storage to also be able to access each other's files. But unfortunately, that's not always the case. On Linux, you might've noticed that your Wind
What can you do with an ancient laptop? Well, in my case, most of them just sit in a drawer and collect dust. I'm not one to throw stuff away. For instance, I've used an old Windows 10 PC for a NAS, and I also routinely repurpose even the most useless-looking SSDs.
The usual AI productivity advice I come across boils down to a handful of low-stakes use cases: writing emails, writing resumes, planning meals, drafting cover letters, creating Ghibli-style art, writing essays — you get the picture. There's nothing wrong with any of that, but on the other end of the spectrum, you have power users claiming to use chatbots to "appare
A while ago, I heard about wireless Android Auto users experiencing unusual battery drain. I was skeptical at first, as I’ve never experienced it with my phone. However, recently, I used a newer vehicle with built-in wireless Android Auto and a different Android phone. As soon as I did, I noticed the problem and decided to investigate.

Have you ever replaced fifty lines of JavaScript with a few lines of CSS, merged the PR, and felt like you just did the codebase a favor? You replace ResizeObserver with a container query, the diff is mostly red, and everyone approves it before lunch.This was what it looked like before you made the change:The selector matches more than we meant.The :has(img) rule matches any descendant image, so the comment’s avatar counted as a hero image. And the p element selector matches any descendant parag
