I agree with the sentiment, but the ability to study (read guides) and demonstrate understanding/retention of the material by actually doing something (playing Factorio) is a good signal.

It can take a long time for the police to show up, and a very short time to be stabbed. Arming STAR members is probably a step in the wrong direction, but I agree that they need to be able to handle these situations on their own. This progr

No mention of fractional share mechanics. Anyone have info on how those work? I see claims floating around of $2k/share trades, but only on fractional share sells. I wonder if people are confusing a real squeeze with Robinhood burning

From a very, very casual gamer's perspective, how did expectations get so high? Consumers are demanding more, companies are promising more, developers are worked to the bone and everyone still ends up unhappy. Does pricing, pre-orders,

Anecdotal of course, but I've spoken to many people currently living in poverty who are firmly against measures like this because they worry people will freeload. I'm sure it comes down to the news cycle, the American dream (I&#

Yes, absolutely. The idea that nobody should starve because they can stroll up to an intersection and fill their pockets is based on a lot of assumptions that are simply untrue. The US is huge , some people would have to hitchhike quite fa

Well, my grade school science teacher was also my gym teacher (he may have held a third position). So we mostly just sang periodic table rhymes and made baking soda volcanos. Despite what you may have heard, the average middle-American educ

I learned about it through The Anarchist Cookbook. They don't teach you in high school not to transport gasoline in a styrofoam container.

My company's moving towards WFH and my productivity is suffering, even though I've worked remotely for years with no problem. Many employees are new to remote work, and are now distracted by the virus, changes in the workplace, et

There is (or was) a movement on Instacart where you'd tip $0.22 to show that you intended to either tip cash or increase the tip amount after delivery (which somehow benefits the shopper).

I support separate modules for everything, and am amused at the thought of connecting a Roku to an old console TV and running it through a 6-figure sound system.

OP, please do extensive research on any bootcamps you might consider. There was a recent HN thread calling them out, and I've found them to be pretty scummy myself. (I was a accepted into one of the big ones and asked for way more mo

I don't have a good answer for this, but I find the notion that you can learn something in just a few hours that will profoundly impact your career intriguing. Interpersonal skills (re: AwesomeFaic), grokking bureaucracy, learning how

What I'm taking away from this is that many (most) companies are grossly underpaying their engineers. I've been through the SF/NYC Senior SWE interviewing gauntlet twice in the past three years, and received 10+ offers at hal

It's so variable that I don't think there's even a good answer for this. My current company does the engineer -> management track, so there can absolutely be an abundance of management jobs. You can also work as an Junior&

I've seen a few that are just plain left-aligned HTML with basically no styling, and I think they're beautiful. Does anyone know of any like that? I can't remember any offhand.

I worked with a designer who had Trypophobia and refused to mock out a GitHub-style contribution graph / punchcard. Friendly reminder to not create products that inadvertently terrify people.

I'm not even convinced current data/networking conventions are optimal. Something will come out, probably not before 2025, that will make us think of traditional network requests (and definitely the DOM) as archaic.

Sure, but Coinbase's KYC prevents it from being a reliable long-term alternative. There's still a central authority with your identity, governing whether you can move your money.

Zuckerberg's recent testimony indicates FB does something similar with "shadow profiles". Those "people finder" and genealogy sites have also been doing this for years. My _guess_ is that it's not explicitly il

I don't think this is totally inaccurate, though there are probably more puppet accounts than sincere Blizzard apologists. I'd be more worried about the influence that propaganda machines can have, and what's freaking me out

This is a bit hard to say, right? Google is also responsible for the normalization of aggressive user tracking and the creation of the ad-ridden tire fire that is the modern internet.

I spent a couple of months last year researching Liubo and constructing/play-testing a crude recreation. Of course, we don't even know what a full game set looks like, much less how it was played. But the result was a decent game,
