Yeah the government gets the money. I hadn't thought it out completely while I was typing and just put what popped into my head. I did take some form of economics in school but it's not something I really had a heavy interest in b

I am pretty sure a lot of people will just reduce other expenses to compensate. At least for as long as they can. That just means most of the money goes to tobacco companies instead of anything else they would have spent it on. I think I ag

WTF is wrong with that site. I enabled the scripts so that I could use the filters, waited while it refreshed several times, and it just covers the screen with a pop up that just re-opens when you close it. That was one of the worst I'

I meant I never had a problem with something not integrating when I expected it to. New mouse, new keyboard, new printer, headset, drives, etc. Everything has worked in that regard and painlessly (for me). The menu I found functional (and s

I think it's the best OS I've used yet really. I remember getting BSOD many times on Windows XP and several times on Win 7 (although they were so rare they were the exception). Almost always those previous iterations had some per

I must be in the huge minority. I haven't had a single issue with Windows 10 (if we disregard privacy). Literally everything has just worked. I will say thinking about it that my computer used for 99.99% gaming/internet/text

It would make a little more sense if you think of this going back a few years.

So I've wondered this. If I use a work computer to update some person code on github or blog or whatever online, outside of business hours. Does that fall into their equipment or not? I always assumed yes but I can find arguments for e

I got one of those bike-like thing to put under my desk. Initially for work but that wasn't working so now it's at home. I haven't been great about using it often but it is easy to use while playing games like I would anyways

I usually post something if I don't see it posted before and want to say something or think it's techie/cool. I hear that time of day and day of post make a lot of impact if you want the most exposure. For show/ask HN I

"Even with all the negative side effects, would you want to stop taking a drug that cured (imperfectly) a severe problem you've had your whole life?" I am not going to go into detail but that really resonates with me[0]. [0]I

My dentist didn't give me Vicodin[0] unless I had more than one or two teeth out. Even then I never understood how people could like it. I got a little pain relief and a little bit of a relaxing feeling. It was probably a really low d

I think you could make the case for multiple online games to have the ability to improve a few skills. Mainly games where you are teamed with random players (especially MOBAs) and must communicate and use teamwork. Games like Scrabble might

nope not universal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex my entire family does it on my mom's side. when you tell it to someone who doesn't do it they think you are crazy.

Why/How did you know you would be leaving after 2 years? Just the money or was there a specific reason? Sorry, just super curious.

Yes, my first job we have 3-5 devs at some points. We each had our own codebase (internal site, external site, console/windows apps). We never touched each others' code. Nobody ever set up source control for the code I had to work

pretty quick we will end up with nothing but the worst graphics/story when you buy a game because you can just patch it and fix it later.

Thank you so much for that link. I've been searching for every ingredient and having to guess at some and that is really helpful. I didn't realize you could do that.

Even when I'm copying code I do it by hand[0]. Even though they might work I treat most stack overflow examples as 'really good pseudo-code'. [0] it's always something short.

I have noticed that many sentences start with Yeah, at least for me. Usually around friends when there has been a silence. I always wondered if it was regional or just a weird thing I do, like affirming something before I said it out loud.

I had never seen an image of Australia with grass. I've always seen desert or city (like Sydney). It just never entered my mind that green stuff grew there. My geography knowledge is horrid so I just figured whatever I saw on tv/i

Didn't really think about Amazon. I had never heard of a road train either. Didn't even know that one truck would carry that much. Learning a lot already :)

If you don't mind, what do you do? It seems like a lot of the jobs I see are for such specific roles they have to reach worldwide to find someone with that knowledge. The kind of stuff I only read about in headlines here but that I wil

I think it's that the government[0] can repeatedly propose the bill and wear down the public's will to fight it. They[0] don't appear to lose any/much standing from continuous proposals and people become apathetic toward

How would using a pipe prevent you from inhaling the smoke? I have never used one (but I was always curious when I smoked) so maybe it's a silly question.
