> One big piece of advice I have is to try to avoid letting others in your social network know exactly how successful you’ve been. The time to do that was _before_ writing a blog post titled "I am rich" and submitting it to HN

It really is quite comical. "Within 5 minutes of my first hike, the trees smiled at me and whispered their simple wisdom."

No, the alternative would be to not drop your gf merely to "find yourself".

by elevatedastalt 2y ago
Yeah, I found that quite shitty. Some vague Bollywood BS about finding oneself and no meaningful reasons for ending a 2yr long relationship.

Like you explained, DI simply means that the function would depend on an abstract dependency which is supplied at runtime or test time. In runtime you can supply the actual DB, in test, you can supply a mock DB, OR an actual DB. Both are po

Dependency Injection is orthogonal to what the author is talking about. Like the other commenter explained, DI simply means that the function would depend on an abstract dependency which is supplied at runtime or test time. In runtime you c

This article seems to be implying that there's something special about DBs that makes them only testable directly instead of through mocks. There's a continuum between extreme integration testing and extreme unit testing, each wit

Most of the experience of a live performance (especially for pop artists) is in being there, with a crowd, and the soundscape of a giant auditorium or stadium, so the lip-syncing doesn't matter much either way.

The HN you are yearning for disappeared about 8-10 years ago when it was largely taken over by normies and people way outside the hard-core-tech fold. It's not very different from Reddit front-page now if the topic is even remotely pol

The only reason people think "butter" may not contain milk is because we let advertizers abuse that term to refer to anything vaguely resembling that texture.

by elevatedastalt 2y ago
Yes, so if you were to encounter this butter in the wild, I understand that not seeing the label would throw you off. But in this particular case, in order to comply with the instructions telling you to throw the butter away, you need to kn

I think it's topical because the new administration has been talking a lot about regulatory over-reach. The thought that taxpayer money is being wasted to tell taxpayers that "if they know they have bought butter they must throw s

If I had my way, food terms that have hundreds or thousands of years of history behind them would not be allowed to be used for labeling completely unrelated things. That includes fake milks, fake eggs and fake "butters"

No, funnily enough, I do agree with some of that. It is still insufferable because he is using his authority and social media clout in one sphere (fashion, which I used to respect him for, and which he had earned) as a cover to air his poli

You are being downvoted but you are exactly right. Whatever redeeming value Derek's fashion statements have has been completely overtaken by his insufferable political avatar.

We are talking past each other. First off, I am describing the whole scenario as bizarre, not the first sentence of my post. That much should be obvious. Second, I _do_ understand the basic tenets (not tenants, btw) of the constitution, tha

The Commerce Clause serves no master. It can be used for federal overreach in either direction. For eg. without the a lot of regulatory behavior that the Congress does today is by relying on the Commerce Clause.

[Note: This will not be an anti-Cable-company screed] The American legislative system is bizarre. To begin with, Congress is accorded very little power by the constitution, with most of it resting with "We the people" or the state

Yes, and with the recent overturning of the Chevron doctrine, that's going to be tougher to fly.

That's not relevant, since the point of discussion is if enough people will buy the thing. If it makes you look like a dork and yet it's the third most selling EV, you might blame the judgment of the average car buyer of the US (f

Bing was unironically fantastic at searching for adult content but they hobbled that through the years.

Many possibilities. Something seeking legal help, or an info page about domestic abuse itself, or something around financial literacy.

It's a valid USP and people are happy to pay them for it, but I don't think they are relevant in a discussion about the difficulty of building a search product. For example, if you are discussing manufacturing issues in China, tal

DuckDuckGo can have a seat at the table when they implement their own search index. Putting a sticker on Bing and Yandex results doesn't make a Search company.
