I think that kind of pride is pointless and unproductive. I think it is right to be grateful to your ancestors for their achievements in ultimately giving you the life that you have. But proud? Hubris lies down that path. Re: luck, yes,

Such anger and contempt, for no good reason. If we're going to be calling names, I think the "twelve-year-old" moniker fits your attitude better.

I had so many He-Man action figures and toy vehicles as a child in the 80s. Loved the TV show as well. This mention really brought back some memories.

Remembering and understanding aren't the same thing. Merely reciting facts doesn't automatically give you the ability to apply those facts to solve problems.

Same. Most of what I do is ask for an implementation plan, with minimal code, or no code, or pseudocode, and then write the actual code myself. This is for open source work, where the entire point of my enjoyment is that I write the code

IME, it's faster and less frustrating to just write the code myself, if the goal is to get code to my quality standards.

And I'm sure no one ever abuses that by watching a movie while driving... As much as I generally don't love technology taking a paternalistic attitude toward restricting what happens on the infotainment system, I really don't

I know I'm guilty of making this sort of argument sometimes, but it's just not valid. I don't get paid for every waking hour of every day. Often I'm using an LLM for something that's uncompensated, so my hourly wage

There actually is a very important distinction between "would if they could" and "they can and do", though.

Agreed. There's are plenty of instances where people here on HN do mental gymnastics to justify using a truly good product when the company that builds it is morally bankrupt. Not a criticism (I probably engage in that sort of thinking

Not true; T3 has one, at least. I don't recall for the other terminals, but I'd be surprised if not. That sort of thing is mostly up the the airlines, though, no? I never use it, though... the pre check line is usually as fast or

On a recent multi-city trip, the SFO security team was friendly and cheerful, with one guy actually singing to travelers as he checked their IDs. The best I could say about the security people at BOS, EWR, and IAD is that they were... onl

> It's wild to me that 10gbit isn't the norm by now I honestly just don't need it. Part of that is my ISP options top out around 1200Mbps, certainly. But I also just don't need that kind of speed inside my home.

Why would you be sharing that? There's no reason why the navigation system needs to constantly tell a remote system where you are. Navigation systems don't even need an Internet connection for basic routing.

It reveals where you are to the cell towers, but not to the car company. My phone already reveals where I am based on its cellular connectivity, so I'm not too worried about that.

I'm pretty sure they have a legal obligation in most jurisdictions not to sell 0days for profit. And they absolutely have a moral obligation to do things in a way to minimize damage and impact to other people's systems. (I'm

If you really think the UX of email is the same as the UX of a web-based forge, I'm not sure what to tell you. You may prefer email over the latter, but I think these days you're in the minority. Your level of derision at this

This made me think of Github's charity dodgeball tournament. The last one was in 2016. For an entry fee that went to a donation to charity, your company could field a dodgeball team. It was super fun, and we (at Twilio) attended for
