It popped up, I said Wow. THEN I stopped, and thought: "Hey, waait a minute! Is the article trolling me with a 'difficult problem' here? which I will now proceed to take a long time to 'solve'? because I'm &#x2

While most cases don't make international news, the sad reality is that ostensibly petty or trivial real estate arguments consume vast resources globally - this case is the figurative drop in the ocean. And really, they always have - t

Side note. Tom Hanks recently did a podcast interview hosted by the UK's Adam Buxton. Adam's roughly hour-long interviews tend to follow the 'friendly, rambling chat' format, and he is well liked and respected by both hi

After looking at the recipes in question, I suspect that some of these writers are merely using the term Caramelized in a loose, informal (or, if you prefer, "technically-incorrect") sense. When what they more-precisely meant is l

I remember working in this field about 15-20 years ago. And separately, in my spare time, playing video games like Crysis. It was quite apparent even then, that video games were generally light years ahead at visualisation. Back then, one c

:) I'd advise you to not spend too much time sweating the small stuff, my friend. Not least because 'being annoyed' is not a fun state-of-being. <hastily leaps backward off of lawn, narrowly avoiding thrown materials>

Sometimes - perhaps even often - the victims of burnout have been working (only just!) within their means, until external factors bring additional layers of pressure, causing everything to crash down. The closer to-the-edge that we work, th

They need to maintain a balance of sustainability for all parties. That means not pushing too hard in any given direction. YT and Alphabet may seem too-big-to-fail, but in truth there are endless reams of content and services out there vyin

I acknowledge that win/loss is arguable. It invokes ethical cans of worms that I'm reluctant to open here. In theory, the dominant demographic at HN are from affluent countries, so the maxim that there are endless folk from poorer

Low wage industries struggle in high wage countries. Globalization displaces natural local supply and demand outcomes. The above two factors result in some very complex status quos. For example, take the country of New Zealand, whose signif

The strong feelings around the term Engineer partly date from the historical context, where inadequate engineering was more commonly and directly reflected in real human deaths. This was a huge motivator for the title of engineer to become

Seems somewhat like the inverse of the Imposter Syndrome concept (where you feel your successes are just a thin manufactured veneer over a more banal reality). And to some degree that's true, we're all experiencing similar emotion

Super cool concept. Nothing against the iPhone, but it would be neat to also have (e.g. open source or DIY electronics) projects which enabled use of lidar tech at home-user prices. It's worth noting (again, without trying to be a grin
