Corner floating autoplay video on that page. Now that's a new low on the interweb, methink. Sorry for the off-topic, just trying to warn unsuspecting innocents HN readers!

This is clearly clickbait; the article is full of links to other 'seemingly related' articles used as 'examples' of the very thin point the guys is waving around. Oh and add a bit of climate change thing as a bit of icin

Just at the last job, I was hired at the same time as another 'senior' guy. It took me all of 2 hours in the job to realize he was completely incompetent. I requested a meeting with the director, and explained to him that despite

Oh actually I should have added a bit more precision too -- I like working with people who do the same! Basically, it's nice for someone (me, or someone else) to feel a bit stronger about something, pick it up, 'claim' it and

There is a little secret here. If you 'Alpha' in /just/ the right way, you edge on the side of gentle bullying your environment, and end up having an effect of changing it more than by trying to always try to negotiate y

And there are different version of 'dirty trick' perception too. Sometime what people perceive as 'dirty trick' is just normal use of the language while the muggles want to talk baby talk all the time. For example, havin

Ah, I had stopped reading immediately after looking at the picture for the same piece placement. In this picture, G Kasparov is earning a paycheck by posing in front of a chessboard while trying not to look at the camera. Good for him, too

Why would we communicate with them? I mean, it's not like we're trying very hard to communicate with every single human subgroup either. And some of them we definitely NOT want to communicate with. Reverse being true; if I was a w

Or perhaps it makes sense to practice the skill as much as they can, so they are better at it when it comes to defend their own young?

Well, adding a bit to this, it's also a huge boom for the town and surrounding area. I've been there, and it's quite overrun by tourism, so anything flying around royal-arthur-castle and adding to the local folklore will be m

I extracted quite a sizable part of my income from Kagi shareware payments over the 90's and early 00's. Sad to see them go. I'm sure the nice people who worked there will become nice people working at any other places... The

I don't agree, at all. I'm French and I love food, and cooking. I treat myself to a super meal before I start fasting... Never had a headache! I try not to hit the bottle too much tho, there's nothing worse than a hangover at

Strange, I feel that by day 3, I'm fully switched over, and in fact I get a bit of a mental boost; I'm /definitely/ sharper on day 3+four, and then it tails off. Mind you my typical fast starts on sunday after supper, an

Never understood that. Can't they just be shown a piece of limestone in the building they are in, and try to explain how THAT stone can exist in a 6k earth? As it's made of a very, very large number of generation of crustaceans ov

As a shooter in the UK, with a Shotgun Certificate, I don't really understand why people are so against having some gun control -- I mean the background check the police did on me before giving me a SGC was fine; quite frankly I felt s

Well, I had a parallel career as low level unix/linux/embedded development, so I went full on on that, and I couldn't be happier really; that ALSO has picked up a lot, and since it's not 'sexy' and technically

Yes, because I'm an engineer, not a gambler or a marketer. In that time, I also saw OSX become more and more iOS like, with fisher-price grade APIs replacing old, working ones, etc. Quite frankly I still compile my old stuff now and th

Weird, I was a die hard mac developer (since 1984), and I immediately stopped when iOS came out with the app store. Like, stopped /dead/. The reason I could be a Mac Developer was the small pond; There wasn't a LOT of work,

I solved that problem years ago by keeping a canned piece of white noise in a const buffer that I would switch to if there was an underrun, with an immediate ramped gain reduction to zero. The result were quite good!

My best (girl) friend of 30 years told me recently that one of her deepest regret was to have friend-zoned me. So see, empathy works in the end, just too late ;-)

Don't want to rain on the parade, but from the viewpoint of someone with lots of empathy, all it really brings in the long run is 1.8 times more 'best friend' girls! Which is nice in some ways, but not necessarily when you ar

Dunno. You don't have to use their extra social features, and I ignored all of them anyway. However, I found (well, in fact, they found me) perhaps 80% of my jobs via linkedin for the last 10 years. So, from this chair, it works fairly

Might have to revisit KiCad, for the nth time. Last few times I ran away screaming after a few minutes! That mouse-position-dependent-keypress mode just drives me completely crazy. It feels like Autocad from the early 90's. On the othe

That and the rather obvious 'sudo' in front of all the commands. I mean, it's a cool tool; I use it on my NAS (particularly like the ECC mode instead of dumb RAID), but the git-equivalence aspect looks a little bit like a fla

Funny, I remember that bug very well, it was used on the earlier apple IIs, sometime on purpose (!) (mostly by game protections). This was fixed on the 65c02.

It's not a tool problem, it's a policy problem. If you replace phones and skype with another tool that still insists on interrupting you, you won't save any time at all... That's why I still like Idling on IRC channels.
