How frequently are you and your team willing to spend that 20 minutes? Are you confident you evaluated it precisely? Are you always going to install the latest release? What do you do as the codebase grows and that 20 minutes turns into an

How about when we make statements like "poker, not chess", we stick to well known games that go back centuries? Stating "There are other games that are even MORE complicated with even LESS information! That's the game we

This momentum argument doesn't follow. First you calculate the momentum of the vehicle, then you compare it to an impact without describing exactly what you're comparing. However, the momentum of the vehicle will absolutely not be

This is the telltale sign of someone who is wrong but refuses to admit it. They begin bringing up completely tangential points and ideas to distract from the original argument that they now realize they lost.

And how would what you're doing differ from "diagnosing someone based off a blog post"? You've decided they don't have it. Do you have information other than the blog post that allowed you to come to that conclusion

He's not presenting a video game -- he's presenting the technical details of speeding up a video game. 90% of the video is just stock footage in the background while he talks about the technical details. A better approach would be

He did so much more than that. The not compiling in debug mode was well known before this video, and he addresses that. His speedups are independent of not compiling in debug mode.

It's a minimalist planner app. Why would it solve (self-inflicted) problems for you?

An unbelievably long and winding paper for something that didn't even appear to work, and can be summarized by "we made a device that calls me when my dog plays with his toy". The call logs are full of the dog calling acciden

I don't support the Russian invasion, I'm not Russian, and all the other caveats that put me on the "right" side of this. All that to say I am cancelling my Namecheap account and in the future will actively recommend alt

Seems like OP would disagree with you strongly and had a rather intense reaction to the state of media in 2022. Do you have anything to offer a counter opinion?

Does anyone else find this mildly dystopian? I mean, it's a cool and really fun project, but it doesn't take much imagination to envision a service like this actually taking off. "We monitor your mood 24/7 and automatica

You're going to be very disappointed to find out that physics is nothing at all like social sciences.

You are providing zero evidence that there is any value to your experience about reading a clever comment comparing Brownian motion and the stock market. Not even qualitatively. You are already an incredibly rare person who would equate suc

Sorry, under no circumstances would I EVER want to be a part of someone's automated list of "weak connections". And it sounds like I'm not alone.

It's very relevant. The author could have devised a system that was "reach out to people on their birthdays", but they didn't. They set up an automated system that reminds you to contact people based on their predetermin

Pretty much by definition if your only contact with someone is to say "happy birthday" once a year, that relationship is not currently meaningful.

That's probably why you're surprised that men don't know these words. You were married to a gay man.

The problem I have with talks like this is that they sound fantastic on the surface. They almost sound self-evident! "Duh! I want to make simple things, not easy things! That was great!" But where are the examples? Not a single ex

Solved by insurance? We should normalize the idea of theft because some large entity will replace our goods whenever they are stolen? This seems like it sets up an incentive to steal, since "don't worry, it will be replaced for th

Even by your definition, you would consider writing an MP4 parser as "hacking YouTube"?

by butwhywhyoh 5y ago
Spoiler alert: it doesn't. But that won't stop them from making this nonsense clickbait headline I guess. I guess parsing an MP4 file from YouTube is now classified as "hacking YouTube".

This is one of those "pure HN" comments that you're almost guaranteed to find here. How can we take a genuinely pleasant, analog human experience, strip all of the magic out of it, automate it, and make it remote?

Change is good for the brain? That's your entire argument for arbitrary interface updates?

The biggest thing stopping me from doing it would be a lack of quality healthcare. I can't imagine many top doctors hanging around a place like Kansas.

I actually stopped reading the guide when I got to this point, and I have a lot of experience working with GPS. My thought was, "If the simple parts are this unclear, I don't want to spend time getting to the more complex portions

If README files were: 1. Full of tangential life-story BS 2. Placed far above the content I went to the repo for 3. Filled with advertisements I would love your browser extension. Also, you claim the story is "much more important"

I agree with this. These app don't take anything from the experience of people who want to read these asinine stories -- it just helps the folks that are there for the ingredients. If this gets shut down I would love if a general, open

Wrong, "foodies" are about to get eaten alive by people sick of their shit. The only people complaining loudly about that were the people propagating the BS. I certainly don't see any complaints from users mentioned in that a
