The finance department in a previous job rather undramatically moved over to Google Sheets from Excel after seeing the befits of the collaboration/online environment. They got some help by me for moving out the heavy stuff to SQL/

Google Sheets worked fine for me. The UI is intuitive and stripped down. And it has much better networking/collaboration support compared to Microsoft that has it bolted on.

Probably. Military service in Sweden in the 90s did not mean you had to worry about going to Iraq or Afghanistan. As I mentioned I was also a platoon leader so I guess I had som more freedom. But some weeks we had to go on without much slee

Correct observation :) Or reply to relevant replies to my half baked comments on HN.

Right! Should have been in my comment. I think an important part of it is that is made me stop worrying. Sleep will come to me eventually and meanwhile my body will continue working. Maybe my brain does not work optimally, but well enough.

I did my military service (25 years ago). After that I rarely wait more than 3 minutes to fall asleep. Not many books get read that way unfortunately, I used to read a lot before that. These days I do wake up at weird hours though, not sure

For me it was not crunch time but constantly challenging myself. Did I hope to see something on the other side?

Edges are cool. But they do have a dark side, often forgotten when talked about in public. I have once been on the edge of chaos for too long and eventually when it flipped over it took years to recover. Possibly even decades. Or possibly a

Thanks. Must be the Gulf stream and general seaside climate. We have it better than we deserve. But only 20000 years ago Sweden was covered in 3km of ice.

Att 55 degrees latitude is is comparably pretty far south in Scandinavian terms, like Denmark. And we do grow crops in Sweden. Inland climate in Canada and (for Scandinavia) the Gulf Stream could make the difference. Although I imagine the

My 5c. Algorithmically it is optimal, many corner cases thought of to make as few loops as possible. But it is suboptimal in the sense that it uses for loops so it is not possible for an underlying engine to execute in parallel, or to optim

"A la test driven development. " I would not call that test driven development (where are the testcases?) Rather more like REPL driven programming.

Working extensively in SQL for a while also gives you another perspective of programming. There is just no way you can write this with a for loop in SQL since it does not (generally) have for loops. WITH all_numbers AS ( SELECT

IIRC the limiting factor for late Intel Macs was cooling. It would frequently throttle the CPU down to 20% to cool it down. And even if the numbers are great on a sunny day (or rather a cool day, to fix this I would have to sit with it in a

I am sorry, but I hate Hugo. My go-to meme has been "The most difficult we do at this place is formatting documentation". I can go 10 iterations just to get an image link or internal reference right. And the fact that I would like

TBH I think this whole discussion - that fixing Mars should be easier than fixing Earth - is some proof that a lot of hacker news commenters are already aliens from Mars.

Yes. I am sorry but you missed the second part of the post and then proceeded with putting words in my mouth.

I am not talking about any conflict in particular. I am just pointing out that this is the consequence of that kind of policy. The world is not black and white. And that also gives you the right to choose what part of the grayscale you want

I imagine that if you can colonize other planets you can also target them with nuclear weapons. It is like saying that the solution to all problems is colonizing Antarctica.

Yes but how? Obviously the invader is not going to stop the war and say "this was foolish". So it is up to all other nations to bow down and let them have their piece of the world.

> And also why wars or proxy wars between nuclear powers is extremely foolish and should be stopped with great urgency. The strict interpretation of that foreign policy is that any nuclear nation is free to invade any non-nuclear nation
