Nothing better than finding even more cool content in the comments. Thanks for the link. It put to words a bunch of things that annoy me about modern action movies.

I agree that many college degrees seem to take far longer than is actually necessary, even technical ones at good school. The result seems to be that you can graduate with acceptable grades in 4 years, having spent maybe ten hours a week

"5 core markets (Devsumer, Real Estate, AI hardware, Transportation and Logistics, Crypto) and 2 emerging ones (Legal, Defense)" Devsumer? For sure. Simplifying dev work seems like an area with pretty much eternal growth potential

So generally with this sort of article I end up making some point about how I believe that the only effective solutions to these sorts of problems are legislative ones. See CFC's and the ozone layer for reference, etc. A reply I often

Ah ok, I guess I just overestimated the level of precision they were working with.

I am an idiot who doesn't know anything about astronomy, and I always assumed that if you were looking for something like planet 9 you would attempt to deduce its position from the gravitational effects it might have on nearby known en

Ok, so I have always assumed that since a lot of this old hardware doesn't use anywhere near the level of cooling that a modern machine does, se/30 motherboard doesn't appear to bother with a CPU fan or heatsink, it uses a gr

That provides some interesting context to that attitude, thanks.

Against pep-8 standards. I do end up using that sytax quite a bit anyway though.

Not to mention, who hits the spacebar four times for their indentation? Actually. Do people do that?

It's funny how far off the author was, because there are genuine things to complain about with python, though they may not be exclusive to python. I regularly wish python required some sort type indication for function parameters, be

Hang on, I meant that I believe that the DOJ was acting in good faith.

I agree, skepticism is important, but I am willing to believe that this arrest was for basically the reasons stated, and I think to assume that it is completely otherwise would be overly cynical. That said, I would not be terribly surprised

A lot of these comments were from people with incredible first hand experience of the topic at hand. The crash bandicoot dev for instance. These kind of comments do crop up from time to time, but I really enjoyed having them in a single con

The issue I run into most often is that a system or set of functions I want to test relies on or resides in a complicated object that requires proper initialization. This means that to run tests I need to manually perform all of this initia

by fhood 8y ago
Yeah, I firmly support testing, but if the code you are working on isn't explicitly written to make writing tests easier, than odds are (in my experience) that writing the tests will take longer than writing the code.

I can't be 100% sure that you are incorrect. But given how much the price of gas affects the market for fuel efficient cars, I cannot imagine that making polluting technologies more expensive would not cause manufacturers to pivot to g

I dunno man, get into politics? I don't see viable non-legislative solutions happening in the necessary time frame.

Hasn't HN grown quite a bit in recent years? I would assume that would pull the average age down.

That sucks. And it makes me feel like maybe SATs aren't so bad. I feel like scoring well on the SAT doesn't actually require preparation, just high literacy and a willingness to think the questions through.

Ha! You expect that from a console, but I just bought a tv, and it had to fucking update before I could use it. And on top of that it wanted me to create an account. For a TV!

There are also a bunch of libraries that use curl, when the task is simple it is often the best solution.

That I can almost understand. What I can't understand is why after buying a Dremel, Amazon wastes so much of its resources advertising me another Dremel. This is so clearly a losing game for them. The conversion rate for that type of a
