Well I've worked with people who mostly did that, but their situation is often that they were hired as junior developers with no experience, and then carved out this niche for themselves. I have no idea how one would go about getting h

The article quotes him as saying that when he started taking it, he didn't get colds any longer. Then they attempt to refute that by claiming that there's no evidence that Vitamin C shortens the duration of colds. What does that h

I don't think there's anything that could stop them from falling, but maybe it could warn them about how slippery the area is, based on the accelerations sensed by similar devices in the same spot. But I don't know of anythin

It's good that this is being highlighted, but I don't think the author really understands how this works. H1Bs are "nonimmigrant" visas. And, if you lose your H1B because you're laid off and can't find another

The worst ones are when people invent a word when there's already a really really common word that they definitely know about, that means the same thing. Every day in my current job I hear people saying things like "it's a bi

I'm not sure how much sense this makes. Is he just asking DOJ to accuse him of a crime? Is he going to give them evidence against himself? He hasn't claimed any involvement in the crimes that Assange is accused of (aiding and abet

I don't know if I understand your comment. If 100% of people were vaccinated against covid, then 100% of covid deaths would have to be among vaccinated people, wouldn't they? Now it may be that the measles vaccine is 100% effectiv

I did the same thing. I'll always love Emacs and it's still better for editing code, but the reality is I spend more time searching, debugging and reading code now than writing or even editing, and VSCode is just better at that.

Just my 2 cents, but I think you should host the legacy installers. You'll have to take some trouble to make it clear that they're unsupported, and made available only as a courtesy to legacy customers. But why not do it? People a

I just skimmed the article, and didn't see a single text that shed any light on Musk whatsoever, good or bad. The article didn't even seem to allege that any of the texts made him look bad, let alone "shatter the myth of the

True, although I'm always happy to see that site posted here again, because that's how I found it, and it's incredible. I still check back there from time to time hoping for a resolution for Bill Ewasko.

I'm trying to understand the basics of quantum mechanics and Bell's Theorem in my spare time. This is a good video but it's still hard to understand. I'm beginning to think that Bell's Theorem doesn't say that

They make it sound like a 200 pound anvil is hard to lose, but how big is 200 lbs of iron? The size of a dog? I'm not saying that justifies it or anything but once you lose track of where it is, your chances of finding it again are not

Yes there are definitely courses that would help with the kind of thing you're talking about. Probably the most accessible would be Khan Academy. That will explain all the "whys" of foundational stuff. Another approach that I

The argument here (which I may have misunderstood, but take to be essentially that articles are likely to be of a higher quality because they're harder to produce than HN comments) makes sense, but it turns out not to be true in practi

Extremely this. Junior or mid-level developers need to be surrounded by senior developers, not the other way around.

This is a really good observation about how cancel culture works. Anything you say now that's considered perfectly harmless might soon be redefined as "code" for something unacceptable, and your words will be judged by that n
