I think eventually the point is "just carry on doing what you have to do and get things done regardless of what happens". a stoic, stable and confident mentality which entails a lot of planning and calm decisionmaking helps. Eithe

I always remember what Chomsky said about this: Business newspapers actually tend to be as true-to-reality and BS-free as possible, since they need to present information as accurately as possible for businesspeople to make the right decisi

If you want more alternative perspectives, especially about the East, South China Morning Post could be an interesting choice. IMO they do a decent job in presenting opinions from both sides (definitely nothing similar to the CCP propaganda

Two very different beasts. When you use the mobile payment system all your traces and data are being exposed, even much more than using cash. While people who need anonymity, or at least want to be hard to track, be it for buying drugs or e

So far the Homebrew experience has been better for me than any other Linux distribution's package manager, except for Arch, which is still unparalleled. The biggest problem of Homebrew is how incredibly slow it is, though I guess this

Parts of that article are a bit dubious. Good practices don't have much to do with a language being statically typed or dynamically typed. You can write awful, convoluted code with a wizardry approach in Java and C++, but clean, easily

I've also wondered about it (though I know that bring a server is still by no means an easy task). I think Freakonomics had an episode on topping and reported (advertised?) some restaurants that split the tip between servers and cooks,

That doesn't make much sense because adult vision doesn't change much. It should be perfectly valid to use an old prescription unless you want to re-check your vision. I've never seen this law in Asia or Europe and people are

I would say every capable programmer should be a "generalist" in a sense and be able to transfer their skills with relatively little effort. If they can't, they are not really that good at the abstract concepts. Still this do

I would say that it's the same for the other trades as well though. For example, people might imagine that learning a new human language is trivial with the proliferation of misleading advertisements such as Duolingo or Babbel, but to

It could also pay off to be a specialist instead of a generalist though. Depends on what you want to do. Say if you become an expert in large scale distributed systems or some cutting edge AI techniques which require tons of data, which onl

Yeah this seems to be pretty much the definition of changing for the sake of changing. Just somebody tries to prove their existence, prove that they've got something to do. Thought it is related to the design team but apparently the de

> The real merit of academia is that people can be alone in a corner doing one's work, if they choose to. Industry enforces socialisation, conformity to norms, and shmoozing. That's a bit dubious. If you don't network in t

Apparently not from the replies and the author doesn't seem to be interested. Pragmata Pro is still the best IMO.

Yeah but exaggerated rhetoric has existed for millenniums and is an inherent part of how human societies work. Also the rhetoric might be exaggerated but there are always some basis behind it, e.g. job loss and wage stagnation due to global

You sound like either a troll or a PR agent. Not sure most HN readers who should be capable of thinking on their own would take you seriously though.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Sounds just like rehashing the what the mainstream western media have been drumming to tedium. If you genuinely believe that everything including Brexit and Donald trump is "caused" by

"depersonalization" and "walls" is one way to put it. Though think of it from another perspective: You'd need to keep a team pulling in the same direction and speak a common language. When one person coded up someth

Nobody seems to mention the plugin Tree Tabs here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/ , which IMHO is a much better alternative.

I saw Tree Style Tab posted a couple of days ago. I used to use it but IMHO Tree Tabs is a much better alternative, and I don't seem to see it mentioned in that post. At least you may want to give it a try. I never looked back since.

I had a discussion on this topic a while ago, and IMO a reasonable stance to take could be that, yeah, there might be some congenital differences among people in terms of their abilities to perform certain tasks. However, this doesn't

Generalizing to a whole group is just dumb. Not everybody who works for a big company is the same not to mention the myriad of people who tend to not want to work for Amazon and Google etc.

There are always trolls out there for everything. Maybe their own lives aren't going well and they get some sort of consolation in attacking others etc.

Maybe it's also a value thing, where the young people nowadays have much more liberal values in general. Also technological advancements like the Internet, etc.

Not sure what you're trying to say here at all. Apparently you can't keep your extreme position logically coherent. I agree that the idea of "free will" might have been exaggerated too much especially in the US tradition

Don't think publicizing information against the US presidential candidates makes somebody "a tool of the Kremlin's propaganda wing". Or have you drank too much laughable American propaganda yourself?
