It worked out well for the guy who made Stardew Valley, I have to admit!

How does that work? Couldn't you fire the board and reinstate yourself if you wanted to at that point?

Man, I hear a lot of horror stories about working at Walgreens and the like on Reddit, even among pharmacists I guess that just going there part time as part of a bigger plan will be a lot lower-stress than trying to make a living off it, b

I have nothing but sympathy for a dishwasher or a random office worker who gets mistreated by the system Software engineers, technicians, build engineers, sysadmins, etc are a different story. You have the power to change your circumstance

And yet you're collecting insane amounts of data with little or no way to opt out of it, and storing that data in a country where the secret police can rifle through it any time with effectively no oversight.

My guess is his friend had a 6-7 figure net worth and loaned him a 3 figure sum, otherwise this doesn't make any sense to me

Comeon, man, you're reading HackerNews Everyone here is ridiculously hireable right now If things suck, just save up 6 months' worth of expenses and quit to start a SaaS business. If it blows up in your face, start looking for a

Amen I got up late today, so I barely have time to make pancakes and coffee before I have to leave for my day’s slavery.. if I’m late, I’ll have to do the slavery in my underpants at home until the morning meetings are over. Then I’ll driv

The whole point of the thread is that a shady executive could use the same backdoor processes to get whatever he wants in an untraceable fashion, the same way that our trustworthy and noble government does

Man, that is some next level "don't feed the trolls" Alas, I am human and must therefore engage with any algorithms I come across..

Hey Mr. Socher, I see that you've changed the site to allow anonymous searches. I just tried it out, and I have to admit, it worked really damn well for finding a pancake recipe. Good luck!

It's crazy, man. I'd expect it from Microsoft, but it blows me away that Google went this route Facebook went from ZERO firmware expertise to where they are today. They're still asking idiotic, irrelevant leetcode questions

The linked post is the useless info here. The dude randomly picked 3 words that come up in conversations sometimes and decided there’s an ancient widespread philosophy around them, then spouted it on his blog. Japanese people are the kings

Aren’t there a ton of procedural tricks that giant companies can do to make lawsuits very expensive and difficult to win?

yeah, it's pretty funny, Google was so far ahead of Oculus/Facebook on AR tech that they made Oculus look like a joke. It's a real "tortoise and the hare" situation

Man, this is a really weird thread. I don’t vocalize my thoughts internally either unless I need to formalize and remember them. My guess is that the people who can’t imagine not having an inner monologue just don’t take control of that p

Well, I tried to find a pancake recipe on "stovetop.app", "you(dot)com", and "get-sentinel" and so far I'm 0/3 on recipes and 3/3 on irritation for Nov. 9th HackerNews search engines ..holey mole

You went to the trouble of showing "To see results and get the convenience of you.com, you’ll need to add the you.com Chrome extension" when you could have just showed me the **** search results. This isn't making it more con

Oh, that's good to know. Maybe it's time to invest in a kitchen scale. (And I'll buy an actual cookbook while I'm at it, so I won't have to deal with this SEO disaster any more..) EDIT: Hey, wait, I actually found

Haha, yeah. I wanted to turn my flour, milk, and baking powder into pancakes, but it’s surprisingly nightmarish to get the two floating point numbers I need in order to get the ratios right “Why not simply…”

Man, what a disappointing thread.. the BBC site is great except it’s all weird British ingredients and units (how do I convert grams of British flour into cups of American flour without a scale?) The OP’s site is a really nice search engine

When eth was dirt cheap, you could send $5,000 overseas in 10 minutes for $2, with just a half percent of slippage on the trades to and from fiat currency and ~1% price movement up or down Yeah, theoretically it just used $2 worth of electr

Man, I kinda feel like embedded software is doomed. There are only a dozen or so companies where embedded software is a first-tier product for them that gets a lot of resources put into it. It feels like everything is moving toward using

Yeah, I hate Facebook as much as anyone, but they’d have way too much to lose by deploying some sort of zero day-based hidden listening tools I guess the financial incentive might be there for some shady ad network to do it, but that’s just

Nothing like this ever happens to me with Alexa or Siri always listening, but I have all my web browsers locked down and I don’t use any Facebook apps/sites I think you need to look into how pervasive and creepy ad network tracking is:

Node is a nightmare I can get a decently functional UI app working in native code with just the SDK for whatever platform it’s on, but try to use React and suddenly I’ve got a web of 200 dependencies, each more shady than the last. And tha
