straws have two holes. let's say you had a y split straw. does that have one hole or two holes or three?

I have wondered if it's the lack of manipulation and input ability that computers have in comparison to paper that makes it superior. by manipulation I mean right down to being able to crumple the paper, throw it across the room then g

I'd like to ask how you used the notebook. diagrams and drawings? quick notes and thoughts? what was it like and what was your thought process like?

All I hear from you is whining, from the first sentence to the very last. Either suck it up and utilize your anger and envy as impetus for changing your situation into one that you're satisfied with, detach your own self worth from tha

The reason I chose to measure curse words rather than vocabulary size is that I believed that people with an adequately sized vocabulary would be able to accurately utilize words rather than relying on curse words which are more flexible.

How would you measure intelligence in something that could be contained in a simple sql query?

by drenvuk 5y ago
Just a simple ratio: curse words/normal words over a period of time. There was some study that said smarter people are more likely to curse or something to that effect but every experience with the smartest people I've come into

I was confident that the users of news.ycombinator.com were getting dumber in aggregate. But yesterday I decided that the feeling in the back of my mind had been there long enough so I ran some simplistic data measurement. Turns out that

I don't really understand why any drawing of the virgin mary could be worth millions regardless of whom it's by. There's so many renditions. At this point it feels like biblical fan art and the Louvre is filled with it. I&#x

this happens when you ride along rather than drive the meetings and schedules. if you stay ahead you have control. it's when deadlines become an issue that other people start acting out of line with your predicted work windows.

I have to disagree, they are relevant. SV needs bodies for the various profit grinders and a way to put pressure on other elites. Wastefully discarding somewhat functioning humans isn't ideal.

Then you're a paragon of honesty. There are many others who aren't, sadly. Rather than assume people are liars I use the live coding test more as another filter. It verifies the resume, sure, but it also showcases or sometimes

This would only be one facet to an interview and definitely not the entire technical portion.

A standardized test might actually be ok but I doubt it could encompass all of the technologies that appear over the years which one would use at a company if the company is looking for a specific skillset. That's why we go with resum

Well here's something that may make you feel a bit better about interviewing: When I'm asking you a technical question, I'm looking at the code you're writing, not you. The camera is only on to make sure you're not

What? What would you rather have? A takehome? People find a reason to complain about those as well because the ones administering them become really god damned nitpicky. What I try to give is a three parter simple string parsing manipula

Zero, despite trying to change it. Reams and reams of code to the point I feel like my eyes have burn in but no books. I'm not sure if this needs to change.

nfts are just as bad as copyrights. both require unnatural systems in order to exist. both attempt to reduce freedom of speech and the proliferation of ideas. both need to be removed.

I'm not sure if you feel attacked or not but you shouldn't. Being lazy is good for programming I think. You should keep in mind that your functional programming base is built on a figurative 10 billion layers of abstraction alrea

I would. Instead of properly managing mutable state (which can be difficult in situations with growing teams and complex application logic) people are opting to just copy everything or copy a subset of the tree they need so they don't

I wonder why they don't mention dexie with all of the other options. Like they say, batched operations solves this handily and Dexie has great support for them and it's really darn fast.

“Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man" Sorry for this, but I find the parallels a bit funny.

So now we have to trust their recommendation algos rather than other users to avoid trash content. This is stupid.

Tried it for a week, didn't like it. Utility classes vs compile time css in js + styled components are better in every way when you actually know css. >But, preventing global CSS removes the expressive power of the “cascading” part
