How do you define interesting or exciting? I spent a summer in Sardinia a few years ago. I didn't meet anyone who was a programmer like myself, but I met plenty of people who taught me about food, literature, philosophy, herding sheep,

It would be unfortunate if otherwise eradicated diseases make a reoccurrence because of the ill-informed anti-vaccination movement. I hope this drug and others never has to see use in the future.

Which is ironically also how you fixed it. I'll never forget the "magic" of wrapping my Xbox 360 in several towels and overheat for 30 minutes to supposedly resolder it back together. It worked for another 6 months after that

Thank you for the clear explanation!

Yeah, I don't think that's because you're a tech person. To most parents, their children may as well be tech experts because their bar for that is simply "they know more about computers than I do." I'm sure m

You're greatly overestimating the tech community's importance. The average person doesn't need any swaying to buy Apple products.

The kids were known to explore that cave regularly. Presumably they had followed a consistent path into the cave (or had a destination in mind) but never got that far. Some caves are also fairly linear, but that may not have been the case h

Ah yes, taking an IQ test for Amazon wasn't enough of a contrived hoop to jump through already. Let's take one example of a tech firm and broadly declare the resume dead, because silicon valley is the only industry that exists, ri

Skim milk typically doesn't contain vitamin A and fat is essential for helping our bodies absorb the vitamins and nutrients we consume. Plus, as a source of energy and calories, fat is much better than sugar for children because it tak

Next, let's dispel the notion that fat is bad for you. It's the strangest thing to me to see parents feeding their kids "skim milk", which is really just milk flavored water, because whole milk "has fat" and th

No, I've never really used any recreational drug, including alcohol. I don't mean to sound judgmental, but for me personally the long-term effects of THC aren't understood well enough for me to try it yet. If you don't m

What user wants to have to spend time configuring and maintaining drivers? I hated having to find the right drivers for all of the gear on Windows/Linux and maintain it through every update. I don't want to have to depend on a 3rd

Exactly this. Implementing algorithms that work on well-defined clean data isn't difficult. Working with naive problems where the right algorithm isn't clear or can't be directly implemented is difficult. In many cases cost o

The running assumption on HN seems to be that ML/data science jobs are easy because you can just "plug in" already implemented algorithms and just expect things to work. I think the barrier for most of these jobs is a proper

I don't agree with the notion that you need to "understand" to be empathetic. If a friend tells me that they're going through a rough time I feel like it's disingenuous for me to tell them that I understand their si

Empathy isn't the ability to say "I understand." Empathy is admitting that, sometimes, you don't understand, but you'll still try and be appropriately supportive.

I'm a primary insomniac, but I also have delayed sleep phase disorder so my natural circadian rhythm is offset by a few hours. Regardless of light exposure and regular routines I'll often find myself hitting peak sleepiness in the
