Good point I probably should have clarified a little better. I meant smaller as in slightly smaller than NYC/Seattle, etc.

I'm born and raised Midwest. I've lived in smaller cities and have absolutely zero desire to go back to that environment. Midwest living is one of the best kept secrets in the US, even though the secret is definitely out now. I

The welding the bars experiment you are talking about is done in a motorcycle school I once took with Kieth Code (California Superbike School), in order to prove to riders that countersteering is real. I held an American Pro Superbike racin

Same here for Stack Overflow. My Google searching for generic CS stuff I tend to forget has pretty much come to a halt.

As an anecdote, I have a mentor/friend who made 500k+ from the 1990s to present day. He once told me in a nonchalant way, "there was a point in my life where I realized I could basically buy whatever I wanted." Hearing him

Summed up NPR pretty well. I listen to NPR, but sometimes it gets a bit much on the partisan stuff. However, they are still my choice for anything news related. I noticed a big change in them around the 2016 election when they shut down

As someone in tech from the rural Midwest who loves hunting, I can appreciate this little fact a lot. In my 10 year career I've worked for some well known larger tech companies and meeting people with this interest is somewhat rare.

I have a four year old boy who absolutely loves games, just like I did at a young age. Any and all advice is welcome in handling this, so I appreciate your comments. My current strategy has been steering him towards games that require a bi

This is such a strange response as I was in no way debating or countering your original comment. Quite the opposite really as I agree with most of what you said. If I encounter you again I'll make it known next time.

If I was in a position to be concerned, I'd keep Wireshark open and go to the elevator and see if the music was in sync/starting at the same time. If it wasn't, that would send up some red flags for me. Again, if I were in a

I've been attempting my own strategies for around four years now, after being inspired by a data mining Master's course I was taking. It has been a long and hard road for me, and I have mostly been trying to find correlations up

As a libertarian conservative myself, I agree with martin and mostly read Substack along with WSJ now. I'm sure your data is good enough though and it doesn't matter. Good luck :)

Sorry you went through this as that sounds like some terrible teenage years. You should of been having the time of your life at that age. When I was 17 I was screwing around more than anything else and basically having a blast 24/7.

Serious question here. As someone with closer ties to the Middle East than me, how do you look at people who pronounce Iraq correctly, as "Ih-rahk," compared to the usual American pronunciation, "Eye-rack"? As someone w

This reminds me of when I asked ChatGPT to construct a simple encryption scheme that increments each letter by one character: A = B B = C ... Z = A After explicit instructions were given and repeated back to me, I asked it to encrypt severa

I'm in my 30s and couldn't agree more with ya. Sober from social media since 2015 and couldn't be happier. I didn't really understand how effective the hive mind (social media) was until I was completely out of it. No

Social media and mainstream media is pretty much cancer for the mind. I've been unplugged from all the garbage since around 2015, which is around when people seemed to totally start losing their minds. I still get current event updat

Thanks for this. I didn't know about the incident and it led me down the rabbit hole. The article shared on the pilot's personal page is wonderful - it took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. http://www.ericmoody

Interesting post. Regarding Kohberger, you would think a PhD in criminology would have left his phone on and at his residence during and leading up to the crime. I read that he had a pattern of taking his phone with him on the same route

This is a cool story and a lot can be said about it, including how authentic/organic it is. I think your exact scenario had a lot of luck involved, but I think what we call "luck" is the type of thing is more common than we

The responding comment to your original post was a bit harsh. You are also being a little too hard on yourself. I can only imagine how hard you've worked on your game. You deserve a break, but don't throw your computer into the

Your comment about this place is spot on and has been for several years now. Even though it's been a tough year in crypto, one of my personal favorite HN threads and one your summary rings true for is Brian Armstrong's Hacker New
