So you just put up with a crappy trackpad?

These are java developers, though, so probably the dregs.

All the European developers I worked with in Berlin used Macs. I can understand using Linux, but using Windows as a web developer just doesn't make sense because all of the tutorials and stack overflow discussions and forum discussion

This is the least relatable comment I have ever read on Hacker News. When I switched to a Mac from a Windows machine it was like switching from living in a van to living in a luxury condo. I will never go back.

I guess you just don't care about the data?

Nope -- try reading a collection of essays written 75 - 150 years ago and it will soon become clear how stupid people are today. And why do you think technological leaps lead to better thought? The most profound thoughts that have ever cr

I had never heard of John Prine until he died of covid -- I think obscurity to that degree rules him out.

I'm unaware of any contemporary of Creedence Clearwater Revival that had greater philosophical or virtuoso depth.

Honestly it seems to me like that quality of "thought" has decreased since technology arrived on the scene. People don't learn Latin anymore, and they can't write letters like the soldiers in WW1, let alone the Civil Wa

You must fart a lot with all that fiber in your diet. One of the blessings of switching to a diet that is appropriate for human beings is that your digestive system will operate a lot more smoothly and you'll stop farting so much. Yo

by jononomo 4y ago
Way too much fiber in that diet -- you'll end up pooping a lot more and you'll probably also fart. If you stick to a meat-only diet then you will literally never fart. Also, you might be able to get protein from plants, but you w

In my humble opinion, if you're a software engineer in the modern world, then learning Postgres is about as fundamental to your job as learning to dribble would be to a job as an NBA basketball player. It is the just the foundation of

If you "know how to code" then why did you buy a laptop with an operating system that someone else wrote instead of building your own laptop and writing your own operating system for it so that you have more portability and contro

You're going to have to pay to host your Rails/Django/Whatever app anyway, and you're also going to have to pay for a hosted Postgres solution, so why not just get them both in one deal and then also dispense with the ne

It saddens me that it is not universally understood that the way to get in shape is not to exercise but to stick religiously to a diet of only fatty beef, eggs, and sardines.

by jononomo 4y ago
If you religiously limit yourself to only eating beef, eggs, and sardines, then you will consume the fewest calories with the greatest return in terms of nutrition of any possible diet plan.

If you're eating plant matter then you're eating indigestible fiber that you have to poop out -- this is a problem that no one eating only animal-based foods has.
920.
by jononomo 4y ago
And the volume of your poop has certainly increased, since vegetable matter contains undigestible fiber, which animal-based foods do not contain. Enjoy pooping and farting more!

Frankly I don't believe that statins are necessary in 99.9% of cases and I think that people focus far too simplistically on cholesterol. I can remember that days before the HDL/LDL distinction. Now it turns out that moderately h

Your first link is to the leading causes of death, which means nothing since high cholesterol lowers all cause mortality. And in elderly people it is protective against dementia. Your second link goes to a site that directly says that cho

Just try it -- eat ground beef and sardines for a week and see if you lose weight. Eat as much of it as you want.

Yes, but in my case I believe the carnivore diet is a literal panacea -- not only do I think it would cure all human chronic disease, but I think it would be a boon for the environment as well as curing most mental health disorders. Eating

High cholesterol is a good thing in the absence of obesity or any other negative health indicators. You want to have a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol in your diet, frankly. And eggs have not been tied to colon cancer in any meaningf

Here is a shorthand way to figure out if a food is nutritious: if it is fatty beef, eggs, or sardines, then it is nutritious and you should eat it. If it is not fatty beef, eggs, or sardines, then it is less nutritious and you should not e

How do you account for the fact that people can lose weight by increasing the number of calories that they consume while reducing their exercise if they eat only ground beef and sardines?

by jononomo 4y ago
Then why can't people lose weight by just drinking fewer calories of gasoline than the calories that they burn in a day through exercise? Is it possible that the kind of calories one consumes effects the burn rate of calories by the b

My first impression of this idea is that it is fantastic, and maybe the US government should pass a regulation requiring this of all companies.
