I will say that I had questions erroneously closed as duplicates several times, but I always understood this as an honest mistake. I can see how the asker could find that frustrating and might feel attacked... but that's just normal fr

Would you mind linking me to an example or two? I've seen this type of complaint often on HN, but never really observed that behavior on SO, despite being active on there for 15 years. I guess maybe I was part of the problem...?

Right and also in this world there are no building codes or building inspections.

I went to surf at Lower Trestles and forgot my leash. Someone nearby had a spare, gave it to me, and told me to keep it.

My favorite is this advert I keep getting that says "Imagine being able to build an app with your name on it!" I'm like... if you're struggling with the part where you put your name on it... and that's the priority.

When I was there, McMurdo had strict limits on how much booze you could buy at the store, but no limits on how much you could drink at the bars, and there were limits on what you could order for your field camp but it was quite high -- 2.5

How is it that some people feel comfortable just making up numerical statistics out of thin air?

I don't know about this particular case, but ICE are grabbing people right out of naturalization hearings these days. Anything to try and hit that deportation quota.

Oh man if you had any idea how much work goes into waste sorting & disposal there. In McMurdo every trash station has trash cans for ~10 different categories. I was always calling up the waste department to ask about classification. We

The version of this that we had when I worked on Erebus (2009-2017) was more fun. It had a section about crossing crevasses with combinations of sleds and snomobiles and tracked vehicles, crevasse rescue etc. In the middle of otherwise seri

Funny how this is exactly the documentation you'd need to make it easy for a human to work with the codebase. Perhaps this'll be the greatest thing about LLMs -- they force people to write developer guides for their code. Of cours
