The comments section here isnt much better than that Edit: To follow up your edit, I find the attitudes toward race and gender on HN particularly troubling. Whenever there is an article that discusses legitimate race/gender issues it

Hm, what's going on with this article? There are stories with fewer points that have been around longer and are on the front page while this one is dropping like a rock... Get it together, HN...

Jeez. This repo clearly isn't for someone like you, it would be much more educational for someone who doesn't know much about how this stuff works under the hood. Creating a dead-simple software rasterizer goes a long way towar

For us we support multiple platforms (win, osx, ios, android, ...) and need to interact with hardware io, codecs, and gpu apis. We could use C, I suppose, but we'd be giving up some of the niceties of C++11 such as smart pointers that

I understand that a trade tax would affect everyone, but for someone like me who makes maybe a handful of trades per month it wouldn't really do that much to dissuade me from making those trades. I also don't particularly care on

Another disincentive might be the trade tax that Bernie Sanders has proposed since it would basically affect HFT way more than anyone else.

Looks cool, but could you guys list some of your content? Like is this just a bunch of low-value videos of tree frogs or are there some decent documentaries? Hard to tell from the landing page...

Good article but it didnt really explain why they're so far underground very well. If the neutrinos interact with the electrons in the water inside the device why does it need to be so deep underground?

I just tried clicking on "Harper Lee, Author of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ Dies at Age 89" from wsj.com's homepage and got the paywall. I then pasted the headline into google and clicked on it from Google results and did not g

All these things you're naming are brand names for software and companies.

Although I don't agree with the sarcastic answer the sibling post here gave, I also don't entirely agree with your point -- nor do I entirely disagree with it. Software development still has plenty of algorithms and data structure

I don't really remember paying for health care separately in Ontario (where I'm from originally) anyway... At least there was an option for it but it was more like "In case you become disabled and can't work" or som

According to that calculator my taxes would be less in Ontario, Canada than California. In reality they aren't because I do married filing jointly and my wife has no income. But were I a single person it seems that it's not true

Does that happen now? There are plenty of poor, desperate people all over America, do they "swarm" the more affluent areas? Do we have poor people from rural Pennsylvania coming to Los Angeles and undercutting hard-working Calif

I have a pretty crummy education but I feel like it's really forced me to have a lot more drive in my career and as such I've been more successful (so far) than a lot of people I grew up with who went to much better schools. I don

I honestly don't know much about it other than I was a weird kid and the school thought I was weird enough for observation. I don't think anything ever came of it though, I never changed schools or classes (not that I know what t

I had a particularly awkward conversation with my parents about 10 years ago when a family friend had joked about a psychologist following me around in kindergarten.. It turned out to be true and no one had ever told me.

SIP is a signaling protocol (and XMPP can also be used that way). It doesn't really have much to do with voice & video other than it gets used to initialize a connection. Also SIP is horrible.
