HN is not the place to discuss diet, exercise, fitness, or health. Every thread is the same: the human body ackchuwally runs on magic. Diet is really, really complicated. In fact, nobody burns calories at all. The body just does it's o

This is a good source if you feel like waiting until chapter 14 for "so, anyways, that's how addition works." I know Haskell pretty well and I've bounced off Milewski's stuff multiple times. Haskell != Category Theo

At least in my neck of the woods, the "team" is generally only represented by the hiring manager. The rest of the loop is a mix of people from different teams, orgs, and roles, all pulling in their own direction.

I love these threads. They always show what an absolute dice roll the interview process is. OP rates people taking a best guess at a problem they don't know as a positive character trait, this one rates it as a character flaw. Google d

My $0.02: I cut my teeth on Liang's Introduction to Java Programming (9th edition). I think it's a fantastic book. The course I was taking only covered the first few chapters, but I ended up working my way through the whole book.

Unexpectedly, I kind of agree. I've found GPT to be a great tutor for things I'm trying to learn. It being somewhat unreliable / prone to confidently lying embeds a certain amount of useful skepticism and questioning of all t

I begrudgingly take a taxi whenever I leave the Seattle airport (it's significantly faster than Uber/Lyft because they're already queued). I'm continuously blown away by how it's still a dice roll to see if we'

I dunno. If memes are anything to go by, people are frustrated by Yet Another Chat Bot standing between you and the human you need to solve your program. The fact that it's a better, more human like chat bot doesn't mask the frust

The hubris of suggesting that your single experience of vaguely seeing the northern lights one time in Seattle has now led to a deep understanding of their true "color" and that the other person (perhaps all other people?) must be

fwiw, your mileage may vary, [insert hedge here], but getting my vitamin D levels up to normal ranges had very outwardly visible changes to my health. I had crazy alopecia barbae (people would ask if I was in some kind of accident). Talked

Nah, Mario Kart 8 is great. You don't _need_ to min/max every stat. Actually, you specifically have to press a specific button to even see the stats at all. Otherwise, everything just appears to be cosmetic. For the most part, o

How timely. I just finished reading The Word for World is Forest last night. Nobody likes a poo-pooer, but, holy moly, I thought it was unbelievable trash. Are her other books better? This one was "noble savages: the book". The Cr

You and I have very different relationships with our local coffee spots. I'm fine with "screen says X and drink is Y". That's sort've the most I'm after when I go to get a coffee.

What the heck are you talking about? Olive oil is perfectly fine for cooking. Not everything needs high temp and fast searing. The smoke point of olive oil is plenty high for tons of sauteing applications.

Nothing to do with cars. I commute via bicycle and actively hate road cyclist, too. Once a person starts donning spandex they seem to lose their personhood. They become something else. Angrier. Impatient. Self important. Impervious to the r

I quit and went back. "Boomerangs" are extremely common. The golden handcuffs are hard to shed. Also, Amazon has its problems (mostly cultural, as of the last few years), but it also has a lot of upsides and fantastic people.
