It is really weird reading this, it makes me realize that motivations and rationalizations of people who joined Jan 6 and similar events are really nothing new under the sun.

I was the IT manager for an all-Apple school, had just joined in 2014. First time overseeing that many users. New macOS and iOS versions came out. Hey guys, everyone can update! New versions out! Cool beans! For half a year, it was WiFi and

And yet, we have presidential candidates in their 80s and Americans seriously don't prefer younger candidates to win their primaries for whatever reason. Something is really messed up there.

I honestly don't care what words people use though, as long as I can understand the words? Egg-having partner would fit that description to a pedantic degree.

Given I'm still trying to remind myself to regularly vacuum, I don't blame her for her worries about my level of commitment to responsibility. I took months to file our taxes. I'd have a bad opinion of me too. I'm really

Had those times when your back seized up and you couldn't even lie down properly? :) Been there, done that. If only I had developed better exercise habits when younger. Well, better late than never, though that late sometimes feels lik

Perhaps in the US. We did ours in South Korea. I can't remember how much it was, but it was far less than a year's salary.

Adopting is hard. I've tried to convince my wife that we should adopt because I've always wanted to adopt anyway, but she's scared I'm not taking it seriously enough. She says with adoption, you need to emotionally commi

LOL, didn't get married until later, wouldn't have been possible for me back then. Takes two to tango. Which is of course another societal question. Why are people finding it difficult to partner up and settle down earlier in life

My wife and I have a beautiful daughter about to turn 2. But she wouldn't have existed if it weren't for IVF (in vitro fertilization). Had to stab her stomach with needles for a while to make hormones to mass produce eggs and then

Nobody here was until you did. I would hope that HN would be above that stuff. We always complain that the MSM gets engineering work wrong. We value our own understanding of technical stuff better than the MSM's understanding. As such,

Not sure whether or not the small fee would do anything other than make it more elitist, and money is not necessarily a predictor of community member quality. The only thing a fee might do is dissuade mass spam bots, but HN doesn't see

This is really weird because I can't remember the last time I've seen climate change deniers on HN. Your experience seems different from mine.

I've always wondered how long it would take for HN to succumb to an eternal September where the "rest of the world" finally joins. Whatever HN is doing to keep discussions as high-quality as they are is pretty incredible. Yes

This is well-studied. I wish we had an answer to this conundrum. For what it's worth, HN for now is still the community with the highest quality discussion that I can find. #2 is far far far behind.

This is it. I lived in China for a decade and only started seeing the WeChat menus for everything only in the last couple of years I was there. It was SO convenient and easy to use. Much nicer than trying to flip through a physical menu, fl

Interesting question, would Linear performance slow down once it becomes heavily loaded? Are you confusing app performance preference for usage preference, or is there something where Linear is superior at a feature level? If JIRA's pe

Nope and nope. Just clear instructions, clear tasks, and clear outcomes. Monotonous work and no sense of vision at all. No sense of responsibility either.

The best work experience I ever had was working in a warehouse where I just unpacked and repacked lumber all day. It was a lot of nonstop lifting. I felt happy when I went home because I felt like I worked hard and got stuff done and it was

Yeah, it goes both ways. Worse is when someone thinks that they're this magical unicorn that is always right when they're in fact more often wrong and correspondingly makes trouble for everyone else. They make you out to be the en

I can't tell if this is satire or not, but it sounds absolutely horrific and I have no idea why anyone would want to live like that. I guess different people just have different tastes.
