HN tends to gives this perception of rapid change because you're always hearing about hot new tech and how great it is from the various tech evangelists. It's a side effect of their faith/vision in their own tech that you fe

It's really not fair to put words in the mouths of men long dead and gone, we can not know of their motivations if they had lived in the present because they didn't so all we can do is see that work within context. In your world

Well of course devs are up to 3am, it's because they're forced to spend huge chunks of time writing and updating all those automated tests. Not writing the tests gets one to bed earlier, ergo well-rested programmer, ergo no releas

That is because there is no one right answer for these things. They are non-deterministic Could it possibly be that they only appear non-deterministic because you don't have all the knowledge to make that judgment? You yourself ha

Funny you would say "in my blood"... any relation to Danny or Angus MacAskill? That last name sticks out in my mind because of those two, weird to see it pop up again. (Or is it just a really common last name?)

FWIW, I regularly type without my pinkies (the left sees most use for Shift/Ctrl and some words with a/z) and can hit 110-140wpm for bursts, with 85-90wpm easily achievable for extended periods of time. I used to only be able to

It just takes practice. For a nap, it helps to unwind quickly by focusing on deep breathing and allowing your mind to wander. During a nap you're not trying to lose consciousness as if you're "totally asleep" either. It

I always find it interesting when hackers are willing to bicker over the "right answer" (because one exists ) on just about every other topic imaginable... But whoa, step into the state of a man's spiritual condition and all

It's unfortunate that what I have presented comes off sounding as an "approach", because it is a relationship. Praying is talking to God, and reading the Bible is hearing and being able to discern his word (knowing Him). As

That's fine. But at what point does an anecdote of a changed mind and life become admissible in the public court of reason? Do you require one story? What about a thousand? A million? Tens of millions? At what point would a ration

Why would I be humble about something that has personally changed me? If a man discovers a cure for his cancer, would he quietly keep it to himself, or would he take it straight to CNN and rave about the solution he's found, in hope t

I don’t really have the answers, nobody does. But felt I should create this post and put it out there. Perhaps others will read it and realize they’re not alone. And sometimes just knowing that can help lessen the stress levels. Sorry,

Sorry to see you're getting downvoted, I agree with you though. Been here for many, many days and these sort of easy-drama articles have unfortunately become more of the norm over the years. They tend to capture everyone's atten

I agree. As a runner, I tend to see that phrase as a bit trite also, but for different reasons. If we're comparing life to running, life usually seems more like HIIT... periods of running around at full sprint with periods of recover

There's a time and place for grace, and there's a time and place for a little bit of exhortation. If you had been lying in bed for months or years, constantly moaning about your pain, maybe your friend would have been right to giv

Far stronger than 99% of people... on what basis? I assume you've tested yourself against a large population and found you came out in the 99th percentile? You've run though SEAL BUD/S training and succeeded? Or is that

Humans ... are easily manipulated via their emotions. Definitely agree, probably easier to shorten it to that. We all have our blindspots where we're easily influenced, there's just too much daily data and information we vacuum

It's not just the inaction, I despise the subtler shenanigans, which is the tremendous influence of using humor to establish truth or falsehood. "Well it's funny and I'm hilariously entertained, so their message must be

I've felt that there are students who are just incapable of making relatively simple mental models of the concepts that we discuss. Just because this seems to be the case, I would only ask that you don't let this become a limi

How should one focus on cultivating a quiet confidence while never taking action? I didn't say it was an either/or dichotomy between attitude and action, simply that there was zero thought given to the attitude, which is the sou

Communication is ultimately an expression of an individual's inner attitude, and to call this a quirk of language is focusing too much on the actions without giving any thought as to the attitude that produces those actions. If one h

The very first link is where "The angel of the LORD" said to go back into slavery. So you blame that on men. Hmm, what does Genesis 16:10 say, the verse that immediately follows that command? Do you read all your books in such
