I find his style of writing quite elegant. He gets his point across, vividly, in a highly terse way. Though I agree this article is BS. Where are your references man? where is your data?

Theres a lot of things you may want to do, like you abstractly think that would be good for you somehow, eg. learn the piano. But for a project that you can stick with through the horrible / boring bits, all the way to completion, pi

I'm realising I look at this differently to the article writer + u. I would say, the ecliptic is a great disc. But when your on a disc, from your perspective that disc looks like a straight line, not a circle...

I'm confused by their description of the ecliptic.. " For them, Venus was a single object and they observed its changing position, along with the other planets and the moon. These positions all lie on the same great circle, calle

Yeah, thats a bit of a stretch tho.. The article really emphasizes 'real world problems' .. They are clearly thinking building some kind of web-app like uber or airbnb or whatever. Like, you could also say that I'm solving th

That comment is about as substantive as many of its sibling comments, I just happen to have expressed the information in a highly elegant / terse way. Also, that is not flamebait imo, and was not intended as such. The purpose of flameb

Also, this article is extremely short and seems to mainly just be repeating a few already very well established and common ideas; as if it was put together by a marketing guy by cutting and pasting a few things. Is it just an ad for the lin

Yet another article on HN that reads as if the entirety of programming = making CRUD web apps. I make games, it has nothing to do with the real world, I'm not solving any real world problems. I'm making a new fantasy world.

I wonder why picking ones nose is considered gross (and eating it doubly so). Is it simply a weird quirk of our society? Kids will naturally do it right? Are there examples of other societies where its considered to be fine?

Covid 19 is a good opportunity for extremely sensible change. Lets all stop needlessly flying, lets all work from home (if your just doing an office job anyway), lets use local products and not stuff from half way across the world.

I dont think technical distinctions really matter in this case. Uber are trying to provide a cheaper service, by simply fucking over their workers, nothing else. And that should be stopped.

Me and my friend once discovered one when we were kids.. Dunno what age we were, say 8.. We were exploring this abandoned country estate house that was near his house.. In a library there was one shelf that was still filled with books, turn

Nuclear weapons are deterrents.. The goal is for them never to be used. If they didnt actually work at all that would be great. That would just be a layer of safety in case in some catastrophic turn of events they accidentally got used.

I was just wondering what other metrics are there for code other than 'lines of code' Cus I could write some stuff in one line of code. But that one line would be horrendously unmaintainable. What metrics are there for maintainabi

I love Trello so I checked it out.. Seems like a really good idea. I would use it, but I would worry about losing all my shit if it moved to a payed model.. Maybe keep the existing features free always, and only charge for future features?

Its funny that the writer also had to awkwardly jam in the fact that they didnt always have food. The timeless 'life was so hard back in my day' routine.
