For what it's worth, HN's search feature is killer and has never let me down.

Just... get your real friends to text you. If they won't text you, they're not your real friends. (This isn't always true, but I'd say that it's 95% accurate.) I'm not being condescending or pretentious. I have

I was one of those people. It's... shocking, how much of that noise that you can get by without. To be fair, I'm missing out on a ton of news with regards to the community and culture that I used Facebook to participate in - but m

Lifting after work gives me something to look forward to. It also wears me the fuck out - so I go to bed early, sleep really well, and wake up the next day feeling recharged.

Sure, but the key here isn’t “don’t work late at night”; it’s “know yourself, be honest with yourself, and act accordingly”. Personally? 90% of the time, if it isn’t done before lunch, it’s not getting done. So, I come in as early as I can

Fine, but that doesn't make the points in the comment you're replying to any less valid. That's... not how it works.

In 2017, you'll never truly disappoint yourself if you expect about as much out of a recruiter call as you do out of a Tinder match.

That's what I told my wife for like 3 years (as she has been an Apple Watch day-one user). I finally caved and got one. Everybody else that commented on this post beat me to the punch, more or less; but because I have to spend less men

I replaced the physical location of the Facebook app on my phone with Pumped 3, a really fun BMX game that I love. Every time I unconsciously tried to open FB, I ended up opening Pumped 3 instead, which snapped me out of my trance and made

I feel you! I had a 32", only upgraded to a 42" because my brother was selling it for $100. 42" seems huge to me but everyone I know has 70", 80" TVs.

I love this, I love this, I love this. Right now, I am about a month along with no Facebook or Messenger. Previously I spent hours per day on both, running a pretty large community group and supporting its members. I disappeared; no explana

There’s the tactical solution, and the long-term solution. The long-term solution is to regulate IoT devices. When kids’ location data is unsecured and easily accessible, the tactical solution is to just fucking get rid of them. Hitting che

Personal anecdote: I was never a cigarette smoker, but I started vaping because I tried a friend's vape once and liked it. I am a pretty serious athlete. Vaping - whether it was 3mg or 0mg e-juice - fucked with my lungs pretty badly, a

They already are. You can sign in to your Apple ID, nuke your phone from orbit, put it in Lost Mode so that it can't be used for anything other than 911 calls, etc etc etc. And you can call your carrier, report it stolen, and bam - the

This kind of argument is very akin to saying that we need a White History Month, and that #whitelivesmatter. STEM, as an institution, has historically not provided a level playing field for everyone. So when stuff like this happens, it stop

MMM is a must-read, for anyone that wants to effectively engage in the software development lifecycle, IMO. Developer, project manager, doesn't matter.

That's a really interesting perspective, especially since you've brought up a lot of illustrations that I cannot disagree with. I think you really nailed it with the phrase, > trading dollars for perks And I suppose it also has

As an American, living in late capitalism, I do not see this as anything but extremely wishful thinking for 99% of the working population here. But if this sort of thing ever does happen, then I absolutely hope that it goes down as you&#x27
