The GP merely mentioned their experience in support of a victim. I'm not sure why you rushed to silence the GP and belittle their understanding of their own religion. Seems a bit prejudiced.

I would agree with the sibling: DHH isn't a snake oil salesman and his policies back in 2020 showed keen foresight. As for his opposition... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42593223

I wonder how much projects like Hedy appeals to adults over kids. Egalitarian, multilingual coding sells well to parents. Children, so I hear, just want to make Minecraft mods or Roblox games. Seems like a tension between the customer and t

This internet comment has a lot of conviction, but my experience differs. A company I once worked for "asked" me and others EM's to fast-track hiring African American engineers to meet an internal diversity quota. The company

At first, I saw your comment as character assassination. Then, I saw pages after pages of CP handled by Drew, or someone who wanted to look like Drew. This HN thread covers the drama succinctly: https://news.ycombinator.com/

My take: if a given task is not fun, then it is work. People on average do not enjoy work. They do not like doing work, let alone doing it well. Training kids to do work well, without any pleasure, necessitates heavy accountability enforced

I agree with the sibling's point: MLK's ideals transcend ideology. He understood that all men of all colors were equal before God; a belief which he instilled in his movement. He did not play the motte-and-bailey game of "som

It's definitely true that early farm employment can deprive children of opportunity, and cause a knock-down effect on their education. Your naysayers are right to cite how exploitative these illegal farming employments are. But the res

You could also provide your own terminal benchmarks; that would help Mitchell debug if needed.

The OP didn't post the video at first. But people thought he was lying, so he showed evidence. Then you attacked him for defending himself and accused him of complicity.

I don't think "inbred" is an insult, at least not to me. I find inbreeding to be more of a spectrum than a binary, when it comes to internet communities. Even on HN, which I rate above other communities, there's a stron
