I disagree on the basis that a hacker news account has no intrinsic ties with a personal identity. It also has no notion of relationships between users.

> In general, cut back on foods and condiments rich in salt, sugar, fats Another way to say this is "eat bland food". Literally. Salt, fats, sugars, and acids, are what make food taste good. These distort your taste palette? Th

If these have a dehydrating effect, it will be (literally) drowned out by the amount of water consumed. It will be a vast net-positive.

The problem with this is that it misses the point of most cli programs, which is that they are to be composed with other programs. Besides, when colleagues of mine decided to demystify the command line and learn it proper, they're alwa

Strong disagree. HN is not a social media. Because we do not use it for social purposes. This site has no concept of user relationships, and it does not encourage you to use real/identifying information about yourself to use it. It is

I quite strongly disagree. My favourite languages, Scheme, C, Go, share precisely the "small and focused" philosophy, and its a big reason why I like them so much. Your point about javascript is not very strong either, I imagine t

The general case of eigen-things has no other term to describe it. One might want something that hints at the geometrical meaning of eigen{values,vectors} when they learn about them in the context of multiplying vectors by matrices, but ult
