I used to be one of the weirdos collecting waste oil to burn in my VW. That was pretty cool but obviously not everyone can do that.

What do you mean by "package-completeness"? While npm has a lot of packages, Python has a lot of fully matured, well-tested and well-documented packages. It's apparent to me that there are a lot of low quality, duplicate and

There are several Christian groups that do this. They deliver missionaries into isolated areas but they also bring supplies, doctors, etc. I know some people who are involved and it's pretty cool.

Carpentry is fun and it's surprising how similar a mindset to software development is required. Lots of planning and precision and interesting challenges to be found.

Come on, giving educational tours to children isn't anywhere near as rigorous as being a software developer. What point are you trying to make?

I'm an artist and a musician, and if I could do anything as a career, It would be in the arts. Unfortunately, it's difficult to put food on the table as an artist or a musician. As a musician, there's gigs and tours all the t

I'm curious about the books in this list, I'd like to read them. Do you have any recommendations?

by RUG3Y 10y ago
For some things, books are just better. I can mark the book, dog ear the pages, and the physical interaction that a book provides just seems (for me) to aid in retention. They also serve one purpose and I'm not as likely to get distrac

Not everyone has the luxury of avoiding burnout. Sometimes life itself is one huge burnout.

There are a lot of great things here on HN but people can be pedantic and the hive-mind mentality is strong. There are a lot of conversations that I avoid because of this.

If California were to become it's own country tomorrow, Californians would learn how much they also depend on other states.

I've taken the long path. I'm in my 30's and I'm finally figuring out what I want to be when I grow up. My advice is to try lots of things, keep an open mind, and try to enjoy life. It's a silly sounding cliche but

Great advice, thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement. Money isn't the end-goal, I'm genuinely interested in the work, but it's at the back of my mind - I know there are a lot of opportunities out there. My problem is that I'm er, multi-talented

Thanks for sharing so much information about your business, your work is very cool and this is a fabulous post. I'm just getting into game development as a hobby. I'm really interested in indie stuff, simpler games that can be mad

I definitely have some OCD tendencies.

The original Deus Ex game was similar. I remember getting about 2/3 of the way through without killing anyone. I remember being backed into a corner and finally making a kill, then "screw it, I'm killing everyone". That

As an impoverished freelancer I've used Inkscape to create lots of illustration that helped put food on the table. I found it easy to use, only occasionally did I need tutorials for a specific task. I don't really understand the c

This was my experience as well. I did have working knowledge with similar tools though.

I actually feel guilty, but I know it's irrational. It's not like I lose sleep over it. I'm not sure how this could be a sign of mental illness. What are you referring to?

This is interesting. What was the problem with "recreationists", specifically? Are you saying there were players that styled themselves as actual Nazis?

Everything goes into a single backpack. Bring as little as possible, only what you need. Buy your toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, deoderant) when you arrive at your destination. If the airline has a mobile app, use that to check in at t

I think people like to support the "underdog". Whatever is popular will inevitably have people that rebel against that popularity. Maybe it's a bit of the hipster attitude. I use a MBP for work, and while the build quality is

In games that allow "bad behavior", I almost always play the bad guy...but I feel really guilty about it. Then I have to play through again and do everything the "right" way. I wonder what that says about me?

I've repeatedly experienced this frustration when trying to buy tickets to see big bands. It's impossible to buy a ticket for a major band these days, I just stick to small bands at local venues now.

I went three months without sugar while dieting. That ended at a birthday party, where I had a tiny piece of chocolate cake. The cake immediately made me ill. I started sweating and became dizzy. After that I was convinced that sugar is awf

Do you mind sharing what area you live in specifically? I've been seeing a lot of software jobs in SLC and I'm curious.

I have a fat notebook with lots of pages. I write an index in the back, with a colored "tab" on the edge of the page corresponding with that index item. Any time I make a note about that item - call it "blog post ideas"
