   If anything it’s genetics at play attempting to produce the healthiest offspring.

   Kagi is one of the few subscriptions I think is 100% worth the price. In fact, I’d pay double. Very happy user for almost two years.

   Thanks - I hadn’t heard of ECS before. That expanded my mind :)

   I haven’t used lisp is 30 years, so help me understand/remember why this would be easier than say C++ or any other language with object inheritance and virtual functions. Is there something else about it?

   That is definitely the easiest solution to come to.

   I suspect a little of both. Plus some people were turned off by the forced democratic “primary”. I remember similar sentiments when Hillary ran. I just realized Trump has only won when running against a woman. I think we’re just not qui

   Funny anecdote - I was flying through Minneapolis and the passengers on a plane about to depart had to get back off the plane so it could be rebooted. It takes 20 minutes to power down to zero and 20 minutes to boot back up. The gate agen

   I’ve been learning a bit about it after learning about RRCF (Robust Random Cut Forests). The ISOTree library is really well documented if you want to play with it.

   This is exactly what you would expect if there was foreign meddling on HN. Has me wondering….

    It was a slim majority of those who actually voted, so less than half of eligible voters. There are many, many people who are not happy with how things are going.

    I’m going to guess they won’t work if they turn the Tesla servers off. Just a guess - I have no inside info.

    A huge number felt they had to vote for the lesser of two bad choices. I think many that voted for Trump were naive and are genuinely surprised at what they are seeing. At least I’d like to think so, despite what you might find on forums.

    Part time sounds magical. I think there would be a ton of very talented people interested in only working (and being paid for) 20 hours/week.

    The Jews thought they had nothing to hide in 1920’s Germany. Any group you belong to can be targeted at some point. Even more so today.

    I’m not sure. If I don’t click on one that is a bus it won’t let me forward. It’s not like I click an “Ok, I’m done” button. I guess we could all delay clicking and maybe it would give up and assume the unknown bus wasn’t really a bus af

    That’s the theory, but I have yet to see it play out in real life. Very few products are so identical that this would be the case.

    I do almost the same thing, except I also offer a monthly subscription. The reason being that I’ve run into some companies that absolutely only want to pay monthly, and others that absolutely only want to pay once. I figure it’s best to m

    I don’t know. I’ve written that seemed like obvious simple code that got tripped up with the 25 hour day on DST transition. That’s when I learned to stick to UTC.

    I just deleted my FB account yesterday. Believe or not, your experience makes me feel OK about it because even with FB, I’ve drifted apart from all but a few close friends. That makes me think it’s the norm and social media doesn’t do nea

    This is exactly right. All hail Trump. All bow and worship Trump. We’re watching in real time a phenomena that I think is not new to the world, but new to America.

    I implemented a long polling solution in desktop software over 20 years ago and it’s still working great. It can even be used as a tunnel to stream RDP sessions, through which YouTube can play without a hiccup. Big fan of long polling, th

    My concern is stuff that can get you in trouble can change. Jews in 1920’s Germany probably(?) didn’t think there was any reason to hide that they were Jews.

    My sons worry a lot about this. In my (non-economist) mind, this will sort itself out in a few years. All the old people that own homes will die. Those homes will be empty, and everyone moves up a level, or prices are forced to drop from

    I think you’re right. I’m no economist, but all non-local companies are extractive in nature - i.e. more money flows to the corporate office (and out of the community) than would happen for a local company (though even local companies send

    I know I’m just some rando on the Internet and my tiny view of a small slice of your life is not much to go on, but I’m still betting on some low level depression, or some sort of endocrine system thing. 35 is close to the prime of life.
