Not necessarily, but every bullshit job pays the bills and most of them give at least a social context and a form of identification. Finding meaning is simply less important than having food on the table and a social circle, even if it’s ju

Have a look at the FIRE community and see how difficult it can be to create meaning and a fulfilling life. Also, the COVID lockdowns gave us a glimpse at "nothing to do". Finding meaning is pretty hard for many people, especially

Look, Twitter's death sentence was signed when Musk bought it. Profit was always <<< interest payments of the money he borrowed for the acquisition. Twitter will die and this is a last hope to turn it into something else that

Do they merely have to exist or do they also have to work? And if they are broken, how fast must they be fixed and what’s the consequence if they are not fixed? Unless this is also clarified, it’s not a finished proposal.

In an alternate universe: the lady couldn’t walk, got obese and died of a heart attack 10 years ago. So, the past isn’t true until it is and then, maybe, it’s even worse. Not sure what to make of this story.

A very big German newspaper ( https://www.spiegel.de/ ) runs on Statamic and they probably have an order of magnitude more pages. But not sure what kind of improvements/custom implementations they've done.

> What if we're wrong? That is an excellent question to ask. If climate change is not a thing or not man-made, the worst outcome would be missing a few percentage points of economic growth by unnecessarily restricting energy sources

Am I on the same internet? If social media taught people one thing, it is to rock the boat as hard as possible, because only this gives them attention. Twitter is called the hellsite for a reason. What is it that you want? Intelligent discu

This comes up frequently on HN and it isn't true. The internet has many more users than back then. You can still find your weird niche on the internet today. Just posted today, private blogs of HN users: https://dm.hn/

It doesn't work. I asked GPT-4 to migrate the following PHP code to JS: $csv = array_map('str_getcsv', file($argv[1])); And this is the result: const csv = readFileSync(filename, 'utf-8').split('

My personal observation with sugary food (maybe applies to aspartame as well): I eat a healthy meal and feel full. If I then eat some dessert, I want more and feel less full. As if my brain says: Look, you found a rare source of sugar. Sug

Your chart including what looks like backtesting data starting 2009 looks a bit disingenuous. It’s a totally random starting point. It’s obviously not your actual performance, if you say you started 3 years ago. It’s made to look like your

In 2002, I was in a Team Fortress Classic clan. Idling in IRC was a thing. ICQ, hammering F5 on forums, all not much different from today.
