   Yes. His kid is an adult now and he is reportedly single now too so that makes it a lot easier to do this. The daily life of a family is a large time-consuming responsibility and many can’t lock themselves into a hotel for a week for that s

   Disappearing into a hotel for a week and locking yourself in is quite a bit different than "taking a week off." I'm going to guess you don't have kids.

   Ah, the freedoms of not having any other responsibilities.

   My tip is to re-evaluate why you think you are getting downvoted to better understand your tone and wording rather than assume the downvotes are not warranted.

    I know lots of people think that when they can't find something; it doesn't mean it is schizophrenic behavior in and of itself. I remember as kids discovering that other friends of mine also jumped to that conclusion. To my knowle

    You forget this is HN where the majority think they can offer expert commentary on nearly any topic. It’s the peak of mansplaining.

    Many people respond to things in conversations just based on common patterns, without much “thought”, and it’s hard to see the difference.

    That’s like asking a large segment of the population to stop using the Internet altogether. YouTube is basically a utility now, you can’t avoid it in many cases.

    Don’t forget that behind the scenes a value type might actually be used as a reference type when the code is compiled, for performance reasons, but conceptually the language encourages you to think of everything as value types when possible

    The error is that, for example, the side with five nuts means that it is four segments long, not five, because of where the nuts are placed (nuts at the endpoint of the lines). The triangle is a 2-3-4 in this image, which is impossible beca

    Beethoven didn't hide anything. He was obsessed with making sure people played his music as he intended. He would never have intentionally hidden the true instructions on how to play it. He didn't even like it when people performe
