On top of the 20 years of experience we already require of junior developers?

You know, I'm not at all opposed to weed (I smoke weed myself on occasion) but I don't think we should encourage experimenting with drugs on 9 year old kids by people who are not medical professionals...

Once you really get down to it, there's practically no difference between them, other than the package manager and repositories. Personally I use Gentoo now because it doesn't have systemd and I like source-based packages; compili

Seems like a critical flaw in voice-control. Imagine a prankster driving through town with speakers blasting "Alexa, order me 20 dollhouses".

I love how many oxymorons there are in that title... "polyamorous Christian", "Christian socialist", "socialist utopia", "polyamorous utopia"

That only shattered his legs. A human has only 206 bones, some of them very unlikely to break. Breaking 50 of them at once would be a death sentence

That just makes me more confused How do you have accidents that often if you're in a wheelchair? Once or twice I can see, but 50 bones is a lot

Serious question, how did he break 50 bones when he's confined to a wheelchair?

"racist computers" is the funniest trend since "sexist babies" It should be obvious that if an ML algorithm is trained on sufficient real-world data, it won't be racist - it'll just not be politically correct

I'll try writing about what I'm learning, I really like the sound of that! Another one of my new year's resolutions was to start writing things anyways - I feel like I frequently write entire essays in my head, but I never pu

I'll be sure to lurk HN tomorrow for it! Also pleasantly surprised to see Kashiwa Daisuke mentioned in that screenshot

Typing much faster than that is more of a gimmick you can brag about than a useful skill. I say that as someone who can type at 135 WPM. As for actual advice, I couldn't help you - I learned typing fast by playing runescape.

Still waiting for the day I can install krita without pulling 200 packages of KDE bloat I really don't need upowerd when I want to draw pictures, thank you.

No, it's definitely unpleasant because it makes 90% of programmers look like arrogant assholes and talks about "our little programmer" in a patronizing way. The final sentence touches upon some correct things, but as far as I

What I always wonder though, is 2017 really a special number or can you fit things like this to every number?

Frankly I'd be OK with that, even though I'd rather die than have them harvest my organs and desecrate my corpse. I guess being at the bottom of the queue is not that bad a price to pay for that, it's only fair. I'm agai

What a patronizing, miserable article. I found this a very unpleasant read. Which is kind of a shame, because he does touch upon a very good point.

I think that might be the way to do it. At least, it is what I do; I don't even try anymore to find unbiased news, I just get many news sources of which I know how they're biased.

Considering they need to inform everyone of this, think of strategies to effectively combat ivory trading, etcetera, 1 year is a very small time period.

> Shark fin was considered a delicacy, but in fact not tasty at all. What a meaningless statement - that is as subjective as can be.

I'd be willing to wait, but you probably wouldn't be able to write unbiased news with one day and two people. Bias is not something you do on purpose, it's something you have to work very hard to avoid.

This is actually an important part of the market. A lot of the income of these games comes from "whales", players who spend a lot of money (sometimes thousands a year) on them. These are typically people with high expendable inc

Be careful, that money you bought from that Chinese gentleman could've very well be obtained by hacking one of your friends for it. Or obtained through shady (possibly rigged) gambling sites. Or "legitimately" obtained throug

Not for all kids. My 10 year old brother has no problem with these things. I wouldn't be surprised if having some sort of financial responsibility from a young age greatly limits this behavior.
