Smart guys. At some point in the very near future you are going to end up rotting in a grave. 850M will not do you a lick of good then. Live your life, don't obsess over the zeros.

I never liked algorithmic DJs. They don't really expand my horizons and play the same crap over and over. My favorite is chirpradio dot org. Real DJs who are real music buffs.

Schools are daycare and not optimized for the students to learn. That is why they start early: so the parents can go to work

HUGE cat lover here. Dogs are great too but a lot of work. No point to make, just a fun anecdote: Growing up in the country, some of my earliest memories are of my older brother, my little sister, and me sneaking down to the barn to discove

I used vim for YEARS and it still hold a fond place in my heart... and my muscle memory. I use a flavor of emacs, spacemacs, that has had a TON of work to map it's controls to "vim-style" keybindings. If Emacs didn't hav

It's the same everywhere, I can vouch for rural Illinois. Check out strongtowns.org, a non-profit that explores this EXACT phenomena and how it happened. Basically, infrastructure == progress to a LOT of poorly informed communities who

I really dislike cars and being around cars. They are noisy. They ruin the air quality of a city. They take up massive amounts of space through parking that could be better used. They force the public to subsidize car owners. They kill peop

Why Elon Musk even bothers with a twitter is a complete mystery. And fucking up like this is baffling. Social media is a toxic cesspool and if I was famous and rich enough to require a social media presence, I would pay someone else to do i

Personally, I do not have 10 hours of work in me per-day. Honestly: I don't have 8 hours of work in me per-day, but my employer demands it. If they want to pay me to browse hacker news for an hour a day, so be it.

The federal government and these huge corps REALLY do not want unions to form, and they will do anything in their power to prevent it from happening. It seems simple: Do the smart thing, form a union! But the reality is that the people work

"Only a fool thinks himself to be wise." Learn time management. People management. Fitness. Productivity science. Read how the other people succeed. A lot of very smart people take time to write excellent books on all of these top

This is false. Hearthstone is a huge money pit and the items that drop in Hearthstone are not cosmetic, they are cards you use in the core game, just like Magic the Gathering but with no real money market.

Everyone confused about the fucked up laws around drug control and the like in the united states: It is about locking up poor people in order to keep them from voting. It is about filling our prisons with non-violent offenders so we can for

Huge stoner here. I quit for a few years, recently moved to Portland, Oregon and have started smoking again. I'm REALLY enjoying it, especially as someone who has appetite issues. 1. Smoke less. I had the paranoia and uncomfortable fee

Hang in there, you're still young and healthy. It gets better. You can become a programmer, and there are jobs out there. Now, some harsh advice: You are being completely unrealistic in your expectation of a remote position while you l

Are you seeing a therapist? I would highly recommend going to a therapist. I had the same problem around a year ago, and having an unbiased person to go and talk to about my feelings once a week, keep track of my moods and persistent frustr

The worst part of my job is configuring our Jenkins server and managing builds in their dumbass groovy based DSL. I'm willing to bet that most people just want to build GitHub repos. Then why do we have to do this mess to get a decentl
