It's like how scams put in typos on purpose to save effort. If I was an advertiser I'd really want to target people who donate $8 a month to Twitter.

Before taking advice from these comments, please think about Nonsurvivor Bias. Do you think someone who blew up their life and had it go incredibly well is spending their morning on Hacker News? Is that how your ideal summer day would be, w

How are you verifying this in job interviews? Not using Windows is at the top of my list of wants in a new job, to me it'd be as good as a $10k raise. But I'm aware that asking about this during an interview sounds petty.

10 is within the right amount of time complexity - someone else can correct me on the phrasing, I'm only an electrical engineer.

You're morally right, but they'd flip it around and ask why you chose to create a situation where inappropriate images are being stored on company infrastructure.

It isn't even enthusiasm, it's the most passive "doesn't make sense not to" type of reasoning.

I just got home yesterday from a 2 week vacation. I was feeling especially relaxed during the trip, much more than usual. I thought this was due to how good I had gotten at thought exercises and managing anxiety, and I didn't want to f

I see a therapist who specializes in OCD. They believe that the mood journal trend around 2010-2015 led to a lot of people - nearly all of their patients including me - having a compulsion to write down and re-think/overvalue every pas

I’m confused why you think you can attribute the taste and culture of Github to Microsoft, since you seem to know that they did not create it. I’d say Github’s text editor has gone downhill since Microsoft bought it and reassigned the maint

You’re right about how the tabloid news in your taskbar just works, in that it’s always there and I’m not allowed to turn it off.

Please keep in mind that by using Authy you're implicitly supporting the use of SMS 2FA everywhere. We need to push companies to get off of SMS 2FA and giving Twilio another user to put on their quarterly report isn't going to hel

Why do you need to stop using something you like? Certainly use Firefox instead of Chrome so you can keep using an adblocker, and lie about not using any Google stuff on HN so you aren't burned at the stake. But there's no bonus p
