I would absolutely say that medicine is not science - or at least that it is very bad science with a low probability of being reproducible - and anyone with even tangential exposure to most medical research would do the same. Small sample s

There is no such thing as perfect software. Everything comes with tradeoffs. Except, of course, for mkdocs. I know other people like jekyll or hugo or whatever, but I've never seen anything comparable to the simplicity of mkdocs. It ha

"In a tenuous state due to the biological factors" is easily the funniest SV euphemism for "can't be used by humans."

I get very little joy from programming. I never program outside of work - I hike, climb, work on my house, raise my kids. But it pays the bills and I can do it, so I've put in the time to learn enough to be worth paying a salary. When

File exchange is not hard technically. Hosting file exchanges is hard because it is legislated that it must be hard. It is that way for reasons some might object to, like copyright infringement and ITAR export control, and for reasons that

Fastmail does this too, and it works extremely well.

Ventrilo is voice chatroom software (like discord) that is self-hostable. It's been around for 21 years, has a wikipedia page [0], and is mentioned in at least one old meme-worthy DOTA song [1], so the OP likely didn't feel it nee

This reads like a take from a mid-level manager rationalizing that they never learned to code, and convincing themselves that they'll never need to.

Some companies are willing to do that work, others are not. My comment was meant as informational: OneSignal is not currently a company that will take on that work for new remote employees.

They also don't hire in all states. I was shunted out of the interview pipeline because I don't live in one of their supported jurisdictions.

Your comment is confusing; the point you are trying to make is not coming through.

The only lesson learned from google glass was "these look dorky, but are otherwise perfect."

If you have more than 200 employees you better not be telling me "we're a startup" as an excuse for having poor processes for basic things like providing competitive comp, hiring, performance reviews, and capacity planning. I

No, it's because there's been a systematic effort for the past 70 years or so (in the US) to weaken the legal ability of unions to accomplish their goals. "Right to work" legislation is the most well known effort at the

This is funny on two levels. On it's face, it's absurd and clever. It's also funny because when you or someone you know falls ill or is injured and is unable to work you'll realize that all the boot licking you did when

It's not obvious to me why you made this comment in this thread. Are you under the impression I would disagree? Making choices based on the best information you have, because your employer provided it to you, and then having your life

In many cases, asking salaried employees to spend three days in the office is constructive dismissal [0]. Those employees may have moved to places with cheaper housing. They may have multi-hour commutes, kids in new schools, and may have ju

You and I have no idea how HN spam detection works - that's literally what you appear to be frustrated about. Maybe they detect that the person is visiting from the same set of IPs and show the post even while logged out. (I strongly s

HN is known to use this tactic with comments, no reason to suspect they don't also use it for submissions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banning

You are shadowboxing - fighting an argument nobody is making. Someone is describing their personal experience of the world, not arguing that this is the best way to think about the world. It's an opportunity to learn about the ways tha
