Yeah, it's no way for a human being to be treated.

Looks like fun. Wonder how many HN readers will end up playing together today off this link!

Thank you for clarifying to an ideologue-dog. If I'd chosen to remain at university, this post would certainly be a wake-up call to me. Respect.

"By no means do not only carry out meaningful research"? Happily, I cannot share your cynicism. There are metrics and citations being taken, of our dishonest acts. They determine the trajectories of virtually everything relevant t

Reading about that makes me very angry. I long to see some justice for your colleague. Lots of good suggestions to guard with arXiv, I hope many young academics coming through read this post and learn from it. I wish I had something more su

Indeed, the shifts in society took away the hope of marriage from most of us. It used to be that to not get married, something had to go unusually wrong with your life. Nowadays, to get married, something has to go unusually right with your

Seems I got to visit it right before it was hugged to death. Love it, needed the laugh. Thanks.

Absolutely, every self-reinvention breaks down. As a Christian, I posit that if these failures are accepted with humility, their rubble may help us recognize who we were meant to be.

Yeah, on display is not only her individual heroism to rally her town, but her entire community's selfless assistance of those in need. It's important to embody that.

You know that's a decent question. If I had the time to do some research I'd look at them and point you to a bunch of studies comparing reported levels of mental health among retirees and maybe ideally some insights on how people

I think they have something of a point... On HN we can look into each other's post history to profile each other which does constitute something of a peek into however much of our lives we have decided to share, and I often see people

Your post made a comeback. People in different timezones feel different and strongly about what you wrote. The discussion is divisive and largely reinforces what we individually already believe. For people experiencing the problems of a new

Oh the ESRB definitely. I hated it but in retrospect, there's no telling what sort of maniac I'd be if I'd grown up marinated in ultra violent video games.

The blurb that comes with this photo doesn't make it obvious who is who, so I did a little more digging. Defferre was a member of the French Section of the Workers' International at the time (and later became a member of the socia

Can't say I'm planning to buy a TV anytime soon but that's good advice, thank you.

And sadly there are some people who can't effectively be treated because inside they don't actually want to get better. There is a very good chance that a person miserable at their job could forget about moving to a new job and ju

I'm an Orthodox Christian and was starting to write a really long post bordering on an essay about it. Yes, absolutely. Thank you for bringing it up. I am not an iconographer, but I know that we hold onto a perspective with multiple va

I still remember the first time someone pointed it out to me all those years ago... I'll skip the steps of charting out hundreds of circles for millions of dollars and just say that I interpret it as a hyperreality.

That might assume brains all have roughly the same energy efficiency... Personally, I don't mind these heuristics too much, but we should remain focused on a teleological approach to intelligence. Size absolute or relative, energy expe

Mhm. Tough times drive you to a strong trust in whatever authority you think can keep you safe. The Church, the State, the Academy, the Army, your Tribe etc. I can only speculate that a person who truly believes nothing can save them will b

The article suggests as much so you're probably right. Could even be both.

2 meters by 1.5 meters is a nice big table size... They could use something like this with carved miniatures for visually understanding the domain, or planning certain initiatives, though there's no evidence in the article to suggest t

Yeah, I'm teaching python too and it's important not to lie and pretend it's easy. I do try to emphasize to my student that it's a difficult skill akin to learning how to read and help them see each small step and how th

I wish I could delete this comment. It was dumb of me to think a C API would help improve Python's efficiency/performance outside of maybe a few libraries making use of it under the hood or something.

Yeah, it's like they saw one depiction of "sackcloth and ashes" and decided to extrapolate it to be the constant fashion of the lower classes throughout medieval history.

Coptic is still used as a liturgical language, but yes there are very few speakers of it.
