That was the bit that really stood out for me. Even if one could argue that they sent him off in order to take a break and recover before continuing his studies, this > and ban him from College grounds is ridiculous.

Pretty sure the crack from that would be much louder.

That's not something I expected to see on the HN front page today. I'm a Bulgarian ex-pat living in the UK (moved away not because of the corruption - though that's a problem too - but because of poor culture fit). From perso

Wow, how do you arrange 4 screens? One next to the other to form a semi circle, or a 2x2 grid? If the former, how do you avoid getting weird neck problems?

GNU, of course.

This could be a pretty good idea for a recurring post, a la Who's Hiring. Probably less regular I guess.

At least in Bulgaria, people go for whatever the word sounds like. Rough rule of thumb is, words that end in -a tend to sound feminine, words with -o tend to sound neuter. So I'd say едно Ардуино or one neuter Arduino.

How is that surprising? "Time flies when you're having fun" has been a phrase for ages. I'd kinda taken it as a given.

Yeah, it's not the best game at making clear what's expected of you. I'd say if you've managed to progress to a new room that you haven't been able to before, obtained an item, or at least learned something new (an

If you enjoy puzzle games with unique "models" of play I'd really recommend giving Antichamber a try. It's got no plot or multiple levels. You spend (almost) the entire game exploring a single level with the same consist

So I'll second what a lot of people are saying here with CBT and mindfulness. No experience with medication so I won't comment on that. I'm surprised nobody mentioned this: exercise . Seriously, instead of compulsively check

Guy with a bunch of experience (~1yr) on OKCupid here. It seems that dating apps / websites (much like real life from what I can tell) are more or less down to sheer luck. I've met a couple of amazing girls through there but, agai

I guess creepiness is a bit of a sliding scale. Maybe somehow the bot also managed to get through to a subset of women on Tinder who don't find this creepy?

Some time ago I listened to a radio documentary on Steve Reich. One bit I remember quite well was a description of the door to the room where musicians were practising for Music For 18 Musicians. Apparently it had a sign warning people to s

> When I felt GF, I felt like I was saying goodbye to friends that I'm not sure I would ever see again. That kind of feeling. To me playing GF felt like reading a really, really enjoyable novel. The plot really stands up on its own.

Thanks for sharing this. If you don't mind me asking, how did you find the experience of getting rid of that habit? What got you to finally try and defeat it?

I generally consider art to be an expression of ideas. A craft is an expression of skill. What about artforms that might not necessarily express an idea as such, but instead try to instil a mood or feeling? A normal viewer will look

Autoplaying video featuring nudity. Might want to put a note or two about that.

What I do is: - For meetings, events, social obligations, I carry a small paper-based diary. - For ideas and thoughts, I write them down. The idea is that the act of writing something down aids recall. For example, story and blog ideas go i

Your comment is worth a thousand words. This is true of pretty much any line of work that requires to-ing and fro-ing between things - translation (source language / target language), graphic design (draw area / toolbars) etc. Pre

I've had some experience using Pidgin's OTR plugin [1] via Google Chat. It's a bit clunky for everyday use but it does the job. [1]: https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/

Quite a few of these are bordering on over-the-top evil villain territory. The Great Bear one, and its caption, just made me giggle.

I'm talking about people I've known since before I was 10, so I can say I know them pretty well. Edit: And don't even get me started about the ones who aren't progressive and open minded.

Ah, good old ingrained gut knowledge. I know a bit about that. I'm an ex-pat from an Eastern European country, currently living in the UK. Where I come from, there is a subcurrent of racism that pretty much everyone has. I've hear

Before I became a programmer, I wanted to be a freelance illustrator, but then I realised I can't be creative for anyone else but myself. As a programmer, I still need to be creative but in a much different, much more straightforward w

From what I can tell with my vague knowledge of Russian, they're not even meant to be serious. One of the ways to go is "nanobots". Even if I disagree with the censorship, I can sorta understand what the problem is if it the
