I can't imagine why college campuses and other places where vulnerable people live don't already do license plate tracking. (OTOH, I think organized crime already knows how to circumvent it, and petty criminals often don't dr

I never got "bad" caffeine side effects (like cardiac ones) or even much wakefulness, and I think the article's idea that 400mg is somehow the "max" is hilarious. That's not even a little chatty. I did end up c

The above situation seems to happen at work, and it's unusual for people with personality disorders to simultaneously have major breaks with reality at work and be undiagnosed long-term. It's odd that it's the first interpret

You have no idea what they do or don't understand because all you have to go on is a noisy model of their mind in yours. You need to focus on facts, actions and consequences. They don't understand how it works (your explanation) T

I've once taken a 5-hour pre-interview test that actually took me from "eh why not" about the company to them being my first choice. My other offers were from companies that did not have at-home tests. I thought the particula

It has a lot less real-world value if the AI is not capable of debugging the software in future conditions, or explain why it made it the way it made it. I would love for the "writing programs into existence" parts to be automated

I was about to write a negative, sarcastic comment agreeing with you but (despite being absolutely sober) was suddenly filled with acceptance and understanding for my fellow humans and decided against it. Dear HN, this person's got it.

When you're young and lonely and clueless many unhealthy/unsustainable things can make you happy. Happy isn't the be-all, end-all of how work should be structured. Many people regret making tradeoffs they were once quite happ

The worst case scenario for rich kids, regardless what they do, is so much better than the average scenario for "average to bad public school" kids that it makes no difference exactly if your friends play chess, golf, or, like the

How is software unique in this? Tons of museums around the world are visited by the kids of people who make 100k a year even though the average worker there is an unpaid intern. Do you read any news? Listen to NPR podcasts? I think NPR does

In the 90s we thought open-source was countercultural. It was something you did to be part of a community, to be elite, to show those big dummies at Microsoft you didn't need them. Today it's something you do to show Microsoft the

For food at least I think it may be somewhat amenable to some of the newer fingerprinting techniques (e.g. using DNA microarrays). I've been wondering why origin/content/quality validation for food based on actual biological

I don't think I'm your target audience. I like thinking about what to wear. (I'm female so maybe HN will forgive me for being a bad technologist stereotype in this way) What I would want would be if I stumbled out of bed, sai

Not a ton (I have an idea come to mind either in the night or the morning) but I easily spend 5min finding the stuff inside my closet and then an extra 3min debating if it's OK for the current weather and if I need extra layers or wate

this feels so familiar! anyway none of those things are gonna matter in 20 years, but you probably know that. Do you have friends in tech to vent to?

You're young and this too shall pass. It's normal to feel anxious about things we are also excited for. It's a way your brain is planning for your life and trying to optimize it and, as a programmer, you probably have a brain

Pretty great, but in my experience with a time where I was struggling/my boss was struggling/a coworker was struggling (different times), nobody is ever going to answer this question truthfully and everybody will think you're

You should talk to university and business schools about this, because it sounds like it could provide more immediate feedback and be easier to grade than written case studies.

Wouldn't use books (just read papers, I liked Bioinformatics back in the day but it's a bit too math-y, generally the quality is there though). Do you mean genomics or some of the other subdomains of bioinformatics? Do you mean mo

This guy makes several pretty clear references to needing his mom to do things like take him to Mexico and turn pages of books for him. Does anyone think _she_ thought "hey why don't I accomplish big things" or "what do

I have no strategy, learning just feels insanely good. Usually things I can't make sense of just get optimized away/drift into the ether and I don't care for remembering them (if it's important I will keep detailed notes

If you have the money to work full time on a personal project you have the time to sign up for a conference or three on the kind of scientific topic you like. Ideally, pick one near your home/in the closest metropolis. Once there you c

People greatly enjoy feeling like they made a worthwhile sacrifice and giving up coffee is an easier achievement than running a half-marathon (though that one is also a popular cause of returning wives and Powerball wins). Anyway, I'm

Chicory's a pretty good impossible burger equivalent. Not sure on its carcinogenic status though.

This is kinda cynical, but get older, no one pays 25 year olds in France a wage that will support an apt in Paris because they reserve it for people with families. THOUGH, I have heard some good things about the usual big names (Google, Fac

Pick a company that is in your industry or uses your business domain AND microservices. Alternately, if you have a specific deep skill (databases, Java performance, AI, whatever), apply to a company that needs those, and also uses microserv
