This is a really good summary. Much like the author I was hooked by Netflix's "Drive to Survive" a few years back, and have since found myself watching every race hence (although I have yet to attend a Grand Prix). In case yo

Interesting, I've never heard that, although it seems like it would make intuitive sense (people more tired than usual from lack of sleep?). I searched around a bit and found a couple of articles that others might find interesting: [1]

Interesting, I've had the opposite experience - an on-call rotation that's too wide makes it difficult to know how to respond effectively to an alert, since it's likely to involve a service that you may know nothing about.

It feels kinda reminiscent of a "FizzBuzz" type of question, serving as a litmus test or catalyst for an informal conversation rather than anything strictly defined.

The idea of sealing each section and then floating it into position seems so elegant and simple. Is this a common technique for a project of this style, or a new innovation?

On one of those previous discussions someone recommended Arthur C. Clarke's "How the World was One" as a companion piece if the subject material is interesting to you. It's long out of print at this point but well worth

As a fellow C# aficionado, what do you think it's lacking right now? The main thing I really would like to see is support for discriminated unions - but outside of that, it's pretty awesome.

I'm out of the loop here - what is "LEGO Ideas", and why is it noteworthy that this has 10,000 supporters?

I started with Consider Phlebas because I wanted to see why people raved about the Culture series. I found it kind of tedious and slow, and although I finished it, I wondered what all the hype was about. I'm thankful that I picked up t

I've only done a little bit with Blender as a hobbyist, but Andrew's tutorials are what really made it fun for me and helped things start to "click". If you've never used Blender but wanted to check it out, these ar

Risk Legacy is another fun one, although it also suffers from the same "permanent changes" issue (feature?) described above.

Even though by now I'm used to seeing the first stage of a Falcon 9 land with pinpoint accuracy on a barge in the middle of the ocean, I still can't believe that this is actually going to be attempted. It seems like the cost of fa

This feels a little hyperbolic - did we read the same article? I'm looking at a GIF of a robot pushing a chair a few inches, and fail to see how it could come across as "an insult to life itself." What provokes such a strong

This is a great point. A "Cambrian explosion" the likes of which the JS ecosystem experienced over the last 10-15 years will slow down eventually. Curious to hear whether other folks agree or not.

I found a couple that have interesting or creative names - Bifrost, Polar Express, Apollo, Grace Hopper, Amerigo Vespucci. Most of them are pretty dry by comparison, which feels like a missed opportunity.

I love HN, I stopped as soon as I saw that second image and came to the comment section hoping that there would be a comment like this one. I know what I'm doing this afternoon.
