OK fine, let's build on the joke. What do you call the person who graduated last in their medical school AND passes the USMLE (United States Licensing Exam) steps with the lowest passing score? Doctor.

Those with exploitative mindsets have learned over time that it's easier to take advantage of those who they see as weak and desperate.

That's a strong claim about human creativity. Based on what do you assert that human creativity is virtually unlimited?

Did you also have the same feedback from your IDE? In other words would it have been less painful if you didn't have to suffer the long iteration times required to get feedback from some remote CI job?

Your argument is flawed since some amount of secrecy/discretion in judicial proceedings is allowed and necessary. For examples look to investigators and DAs who refuse to provide details for ongoing investigations, and closed proceedin

That's a trend in general aviation and it's maddening. It's all of the problems this thread has raised about touch screens in cars but with added turbulence as an extra hurdle and spatial disorientation a safety risk. You can

Of course it doesn't and the author doesn't try to make that claim. The author jokes that their HCI PhD is only good enough to give them the authority to make obvious statementd about what a "good" search experience shou

It's fascinating seeing what hacker news thinks is smug. There are plenty of actually smug comments that go without being called out but for some reason this guy does. The PhD flex in jest by the blog post's author is a bit awkwar

What's your take on the difference between explaining how code works and describing what it does? I only ask because of bits like the TCP rate estimator sometimes have step by step comments that might be interpreted as explaining how t

I've used managed power strips for data center applications in the past. The strips have individually addressable power ports and a web interface, telnet, as well as SNMP support. They've been around for decades and are the soluti

On the other hand what would such a move get Radon? Amjad seemed to sense that maybe he was fishing for a job. Which to me it seems like he was especially being a new grad. The approach backfired and now he airs the interaction which gets R

I agree. This guy shows a consistent streak of poor decision making and lack of situational awareness. His behavior so far reinforces Amjad's claims that he was their most "demanding" intern.

You're overlooking one critical point in your deduction about type of NVGs used. The drone was visible with the naked eye due to a green position light, which should have been enhanced and been visible under through the night vision go

I think this is a matter of opinion but how is libera or libera.chat a better name than FreeNode? How do you even pronounce that? Lee-Bear-Ah? Lee-Bera? Libra? Leebra? Liberia? That last one is a joke. In Latin Libera is to deliver and pron

This may seem trite, but if you can get 20 servers worth of performance out of one you can afford to run two active-active and still reap a 10x capex/opex savings. The technology to have simple but reliable systems has been around for

There you go "some" of the value. So either the store or the manufacturer eats the rest of the lost value, in either case the person using the policy at face value is taking value. In a lot of cases taking value would be stealing,

The 10% restocking fee is a compromise between offerring a permissive return policy that gets abused and none at all. I have always understood it to be a deterrent and not the exact amount that must be recouped in order to make returns net

Interesting analogy. The nice thing about ATC (when VFR) is that the phraseology is well defined and outside of emergencies the number of requests and instructions are limited and usually expected. When flying IFR then you've planned a
