As a counterpoint, Bloomberg (a medium-sized tech company) is still hiring interns as well as FTEs. We are all WFH but the positions, hiring, internships are proceeding as usual. Disclaimer: I am a team lead at Bloomberg.

It’s about $500 for a 4K 27” monitor. I thought Google compensated their employees well enough for at least that.

I wasn’t suggesting that Dan G’s entire job could be automated. Merely that scanning for historical matches with sufficient karma and posting an algolia link would be a few lines of trivial Python. Clearly even the mere suggestion touched t

One could wonder why it isn’t automated.

This is a common misconception. Intergalactic space is filled with about half of the matter in the universe. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm–hot_intergalactic_mediu... As to your original point though, there

I remember from my astrophysics course that Lithium was formed in the aftermath of the Big Bang. I would imagine that interstellar space is full of Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium. I can imagine that stable nuclei such as carbon or iron would

Surely the three most common elements (by any measure) are hydrogen, helium and lithium?

You have described how the set of computable numbers are countable. But you have then posited "the set of the reals is uncountable" without any further explanation as to how that is the case. Your explanation helps one understan

You can actually achieve this by making a new branch at the merge-base, cherry picking the fix from the development branch, then landing this branch into the release and development branch. Git will record the parent commit correctly on bot

I never really understood this philosophy. Separating the graph structure from how you view it is the way to go I think. e.g. `git log --no-merges`.

You can store the result of the parse in git if you want to.

What you want has nothing to do with git (which is a storage model). You can use arbitrary diff and merge resolution algorithms with git's plumbing, which would give you the AST-aware functionality that you want.

And most of the other top-level comments express the same sentiment as mine but at a later time. It’s definitely not worth trying to understand the whims of HN voting.

Thermal effects do not rely on quantum behaviour. They arise from an extremely large but classically deterministic state space.
