I also found it funny. As someone who overanalyzes things constantly, I often get into thought loops that lead to regret before I’ve even taken an action.

> Have a physicist and a "primitive man" face the powers of nature and see who's more comfortable with their surroundings. What’s the old joke? How many physicists does it take to change a lightbulb?

So you think the current copyright system in the US is perfect, then? You’re part of the problem if you support overaggressive copyright enforcement. It’s my device, I paid for it, I should be allowed to do WHATEVER the hell I want with it.

I met some of the most important people in my life through IRC. I would not have chosen my current career path without the guidance of the many friends I made over the years on various IRC networks and channels. It was also a great place to

Legally, the onus is on Twitter for pulling the plug on an API that was being used actively without much notice. I’m actually surprised that it was done in this manner, as many startups have a “business continuity” section in whatever contr

In the article, tbey only mention that HHV-6 and HHV-7 virus levels are increased. Don’t really see where causation is implied at all. It’s the same with elevated levels amyloid beta, only one piece of the puzzle.

It seems like Apple has given up on desktops entirely. OSX lags unbearably when performing normal workloads. Forget about running Xcode or a CPU intensive workload, your machine will freeze due to excessive memory leaks and swapping. It is

The mycelium is quite interesting. Even when you look at hair ice, you can see the pattern that plants also use for obtaining nutrients (i.e. roots).

If you have specific mental issues, like depression, you should look into psychedelic therapy. I’m not sure how many are legal, but would assume they are if affiliated with some study. Psychedelics can be curative w.r.t depression and anxie

And it is a lifelong stigmatization as well. You will never be one of them, no matter how hard you try.

Except it’s not at all like the 20s. Human mortality is at record lows, and you won’t die from contracting the flu. Credit is a function of interest rates and has nothing to do with employment. I’m really disappointed that people on HN don’

A dead-end job is still a job. Unemployment rates are historically low. In the future, most people will become “gig” workers of some sort due to ubiquitous automation.

Really? You’re going to complain about an Electron app like VSCode? AMP is way worse, and Microsoft has made a lot of strides in OSS, for example by acquiring GitHub.

I always thought of the act of suicide as making a statement. It really is the highest and ultimate statement one can make about their life and circumstances. It’s more than just giving up and not being able to go on any longer. The act its

HN has a way higher standard for comments than Reddit. Definitely attributable to the mod team and their tooling. I think the tools still aren’t there yet, though. Tying karma to money or monetization will lead to higher quality. For exampl

What I’ve learned from many people is that land is a valuable asset to have. Land is naturally scarce with a fixed supply, so it is a decent vehicle for storing wealth. Would be cool if you could transfer land titles via blockchain, then yo

In that specific case, Kubernetes is approaching YAGNI territory. But as others have stated, it’s easy to get started with something like Amazon EKS and not have to worry about a thing. Edit: Put another way, give me APIs instead of config

I would assume you can run WebEx because ReactOS says they have 100% binary compatibility with Windows. What you’d need to run any Windows program is a way to parse the PE executable format, load it into memory, and emulate or simulate W32
