There's nothing I love more than unfounded arrogance. How about you try to make a change to SumatraPDF code base. Let's see how good of an engineer you are when you actually have to write a line of C++ code in complex codebase as

No because you don't understand what Andreessen means by reflection / introspection. He obviously thinks you should learn from your mistakes and that you must be an avid and quick learner. But learning skills is not what introspec

I'm a hacker. I find cooking interesting. Stories about cooking belong on HN. Do you now see that it doesn't work like this?

This is not a satire? putflix is criminal theft. They pay nothing to people who make movies. You can drive the cost to zero by downloading torrents directly from pirate bay. If you did want to pay the artists then you would pay for netflix

Since 1947 US has been involved in 5 major wars (Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afganistan, Iraq). Which begs the question: do you think it's more "moral" to wage wars and lie to public that you're in the business of defe

It's not that complicated: statistics matter. 5% of people create 90% of the crime. Double 5% to 10% and you double the crime. Make it 50% and and you 10x the crime. You still have 50% of non-criminals but society with 50% criminals h
