I'm guessing you mean the collapse of society. Do you really think the social order is breaking down? Is what's happening now any worse than the 60s?

You work then. No one is saying you can't anymore. But don't try and force your lifestyle on the rest of us lazy people. I'd much rather do nothing all day but read some books and go for walks.

This is the part where I post that Eisenhower quote about how every bomb and plane is a hundred schools and hospitals that go unbuilt. In a time of huge inequality and degrading infrastructure, I take offense to the idea that hundreds of bi

It's a topic that attracts a lot of people who don't know much. Discussing the fine points of program architecture is hard and requires knowledge. Shilling your favorite language is fun and requires nothing more than faith. Or in

One great reason to come to HN is that you can find a thread on any tech personality, and semi often they'll just show up in the comments.

This was a good essay. Covers the entire book perfectly. When I was 11 years old I asked my brother for a book to read, and he gave me this. I read it at summer camp. It was the first book that made me really and truly THINK. And I found I

My issue with mastodon is that exploring servers means creating a bunch of accounts. That's kind of annoying. I still like and use Mastodon, but there it is.

People are lazy and would rather pay out the ass for a way out of their problems than actually change. Becoming a better programmer is difficult. Spending money on CI is easy.

This is extremely common for new open source software. You can find plenty of interesting projects only packaged for Arch and Nix, because packaging for those distros is extremely easy. It's just a matter of time and effort, and this i

You could make the goal more static with unit tests, though they would need to be a lot of them and very specific, otherwise it would just game them.

What, no! I'm a broke college student, I don't want to pay for this, at least not yet.

Sometimes the truth has a negative impact on people. We just have to live with it.

I believe that meaning is something we create ourselves. It can't be found. Most people assign meaning to helping others, or the advancement of knowledge.

I started around the end of my teens. And it was a conscious decision, I didn't fall into it. Thankfully, I found that I enjoyed it.

As usual, it's the niche communities that survive. I do wish I could find something more general, though. I guess HN is as good as it gets for that.

Wonderful game. I loved exploring the protagonist's apartment, full of books and clockwork mechanisms he tinkered to better understand his new mechanical body.

Not to shit on decent work, but I don't see a reason to use this over Zig. It's cool, though. Funny how we can get stuck with a language from the early 70s and we're still in the process of replacing it half a century later.

What exactly do you mean by compatible with ASLR? And would you mind going into a little detail on how injecting a DLL works, compared to what's being done here? Sorry to bother, just very interested in this stuff!

Ok, fair points. My main concern is really just to lower college tuition. I don't know how people keep putting up with it, but we are essentially enslaving an entire generation with debt as soon as they actually gain some agency. Maybe

"People have suffered, therefore we must continue to make people suffer so the previous suffering wasn't for nothing." You can say I'm straw-maning, but it's hard to see your argument as anything else.

But taken in the context of the whole article, it adds nothing of any value. The author literally spends the rest of the post describing how it is useful. Saying 'doesn't seem useful, does it?' at the beginning is a rhetori

Good for them. Fuck the rat race, fuck money, fuck productivity, fuck the company, and fuck capitalism. I get exactly one human life on this earth, I refuse to spend it doing meaningless bullshit to enrich people I don't care about.
