Computer Science has become a "programming" farm degree rather than what it was originally back in my day (grumble, grumble). It used to be an off-shoot of mathematics and was so strongly tied at the hip many schools had CS and ma

The article author is saying "I sprained my ankle and it was extremely painful to the point I could not do anything". You can ice an ankle (take a little time off) and have it fixed. The parent is saying "I broke my ankle - f

You are being needlessly sensitive to the parent post. The parent is making a distinct difference between what the industry typically refers to as "burnout" and what actual, physical, burnout is. As someone who has gone through ph

It’s not about “making them feel better”. It’s about wage theft from workers. If you pay me N extra hours, where N is less than the hours I worked on call then you stole from me. Plain and simple. This should be pursued by rabid labor lawye

I dont know if the take is as hot as you think. Meditation is cool and good (I try to do it) but it's not the panacea that, like all new age things, the average hacker news reader thinks it is. Optimizing sleep improves productivity. N

Enjoy it while it lasts. It sounds pessimistic of me to say but once the company catches wind of you enjoying yourself it'll be taken away. They'll realize after some careful spreadsheet analysis that participation in this hackath

Hackathons are generally an excuse to get more work for less pay. No different than pagerduty or any number of other scams the technocracy has devised to drive wages down. People would be happy to do them if they'd get paid. However, t

Aren't you forgetting something? The "believe the science" shills that just so happen to be the same people that write "study says" type articles? People are right to be suspect of medicine. Especially when things l

When you are young you think you can become anything. You dream big and have tremendous reserves of creativity, and importantly, time to draw from. As you get older you begin to realize that you aren't special, you'll never get to

1/4 of the defense budget used to protect the entire world. If we didn't have to do that, I'd agree. I'm gonna take a long shot and say your education did not cover that part of world history.

Full employment never works. Famous example is the soviets. Neither can UBI be penciled into an actual economy. UBI would bankrupt the nation, so would a large scale job guarantee program as described. I am never surprised. When asked to pu
