my first rule of HN is to check the comments first, article second.

after seeing these comments, i just had to see for myself... and i couldn't even make it through the first section of the article.

> On HN we should try to get primary sources for this sort of thing.

came here to post that community github status page, thanks for beating me to it!

feels like it's a race to the bottom here, and gitlab is starting to look even more appealing as the 9s disappear from github's uptime numbers.

> Am I reading this right, possibly a $100k fine and up to 20 years in prison for a biological man posting a picture of themself dressing in clothing considered "female"?

yep, i believe you are. i wonder how they'll deal with men wearing scottish kilts? or women wearing pants?

this is insane and i can't see how this would even come close to passing in to law...

the pc as purchased in 1992 had a i486DX2-66... after a few years, that case received numerous upgrades -- moar ram, moar disk, various amd and cryix 5x86/6x86 cpus over time. trade shows in the 90s were just full innovation and cheap, performant hardware!

New comment by incomplete in "Ask HN: How many of you are working in tech without a STEM degree?"

incomplete — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 00:43:33 +0000

about ~30 years experience. devops/architect now at a major university.

dropped out after almost 7 years w/4 degrees (math, cs, photography, archaeology). yes, i have adhd lol.

i've been programming/building computers since the early 80s, and worked at my unis computer lab help desk starting in the early 90s. after dropping out, got a lame sysadmin job and then somehow got a job at nasa ames in the late 90s (and moved to the bay area). after a short stint there, i was super lucky and hit the job marked right as the dot-com bubble 1.0 ramped up!

it was tough for the first few years as my lack of degree (and general jack-of-all-trades skillset) was definitely a barrier.

but with lots of luck, perseverance and track record of learning quick on the job, i was able to get a solid career rolling. i quit tech about 12 years ago, and have been working in higher ed tech since. now i get to sit in meetings and explain to CS/data science profs how the cloud actually works. :)
