If it's a condition for international travel, which in some way it likely will be, then anyone wanting to travel won't really have a choice. Given that, I'll be getting it. Australia is in a bit of a weird position in that I

Perhaps. Or it'll be like civil engineering or something, where the fundamental principles really stay similar even as technology/theory dramatically improves.

Why wouldn't you at least just reverse proxy the popular pages or hell, put them on S3 or something? The ones checked by the general public, at least, could be statically generated and stored in s3 with a simple schedule!

It's the Thiel Question. The value in it is supposed to be that it generates thoughtful and insightful responses - if you are right and 99% of people are wrong then that is indeed impressive. Unfortunately, it selects purely from the

What about a culture where honesty is instilled and you can have frank discussions about what works, and what does not, directly with your employees?

I suppose a manager is also an employee, but Manager inherits from Employee with a .fire() method seems wrong, no? I'd expect a method which takes another object or ID, not to change the state of the object with the fire() method. Anyw

You mean falsely, otherwise your 'clear and present danger' part doesn't make sense - the entire point historically with your example is that it is perfectly acceptable to yell in the theatre if there is clear and present dan

You mean falsely yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre - an exceedingly important distinction which is core to much discussion about free speech (should offensive speech be allowed if it is stating facts etc.)

This could be revoked at any point, so GOG is probably the way to go unless you actually really want certain features of steam.

CS Research : Programming, Physics : Engineering ? I think you can level this criticism, and yeah, you have a point, but I think there has to be constant back and forth between the practitioners and those who develop theory or else both sid

I'm also curious what you mean by this - do you mean accessibility in the sense of what languages like Elm try to do?

Mostly due to interest in FP being driven by intrinsic desire to use it, since it's so rare in enterprise. Anyway, a lot of that discussion filters down into more popular languages, so it's pretty incorrect to think of it as all a

My point isn't that 'cardio and working out' are not how one gets fit, it's that achieving 'fitness' is more than 'cardio and working out'. The words are overloaded, and I think your very last sentenc

It depends. Do you see losing weight as a purely physical phenomenon, or do you see it as one that's heavily influenced by psychology and other such factors? The actual physical act of losing weight i.e. reducing one's mass needs

by giantDinosaur 6y ago
People not sticking with it is really an added point to the reality that calories in/out is a very poor model for losing weight, even if it is completely correct at a physical level.

On the 'default meal' thing, I actually find I become essentially physically unable to eat the same meal for more than a week. For important psychological reasons, I suggest changing up any 'default' meal on a weekly bas

Sailing offshore in difficult conditions sounds much more interesting and skillful than any amount of entry-level hospitality. Anyway, of course I have no 'disdain' for working menial jobs - I have worked in them too, I just don&#

Fair point! I might file this under 'latency' which is often ignored for improvement so long as it's tolerable.

OmniGraffle could be fine; hasn't Figma shown us the way?

I'm not sure if that says more about the workers or your requirements. By 'work hard' you can only mean 'performing hours of tedious unthinking labour' if you're saying 'flipping burgers' is relevant

Alternatively it highly depresses you and you drop out never to re-enter the job market, or to enter very late only once it becomes a necessity for survival.

I'm curious how exactly you managed to destroy pans. I've never destroyed a pan in my life, and take no particular precautions - is this a common thing? Is this more common with non-stick stuff or something?

No offense, but this is one of the worst comments I've ever read on hackernews. You have not a single piece of evidence for any of your claims, and they fly directly in the face of all reasoning about how a disease like this is most

That's clearly no choice at all. It either is a choice or it is not, and restrictions that severe clearly indicate that no, it would not be a choice. You realise how transparent that is, right?

Is it not possible to domesticate other bee species? Surely a x200 increase in efficiency would be a major reason to domesticate orchard bees, right?

They also provide an excellent break from the kind of thinking required in things like programming IME. I can be exhausted from a day of coding and happily sit down and practice with the piano in a way I couldn't with other intellectua

Somewhat misleading to claim that 'one user' would be all there is auditing software. It's not 'one user' that audits your Linux distribution. Can something be snuck in that nobody notices into the source? Of course

Clearly such a course can be taught in different ways. One could be pure uncritical acceptance and one could be like a philosophy class with real discussion and debate. Which was it? One is most certainly teaching how the doctrine is supp

If we want to really reduce typing we should make everyone program in Haskell (and start a national effort to improve its tooling) ;)
