Ugh. On behalf of the non insufferable Brazilians abroad, I apologize to HN. We are not all like this.

Slightly off-topic, but coming from a country where credit card interest rates are around 15% _per month_, I was amused to find people complaining about 22% _per year_ interests in North America.

The concept is cool, but man, have they missed the edginess mark. >Yes, there’s a bathroom. Inside it, a sign says “Big Brother is Watching”. We don’t have cameras or anything creepy like that. But we can’t say “God is watching”. Because

Kudos for showing up and recognizing that the industry is terrible. The other commenters in this thread should read your post.

"The elegance of R" is a phrase I never expected to read :)

Same. I immediately reasoned it would be extremely unlikely for a 6-char-long word to just coincidentally match a currency pair. So weird!

You do know that "free market" does not, and never has, equated "anything goes", right? There are things like regulators, laws and such.

Great argument. Do you like capitalism, where everyone gets unequal outcome? Like in Liberia, South Sudan or Chad?

I'm flabbergasted it's been an hour and there has been no "System76 is just an expensive Clevo" post. HN isn't the same on Saturdays! Joking aside I also have one and am satisfied with it. In my experience it is the

Probably just timing. Hiring is bad right now. I got a couple of interview requests 3 weeks into my promotion period, didn't take the quizzes.

Same result as 2021. Must be due to all the "it is dead and forgotten" hate Ruby gets :)

I don't know whether there was a hamfisted ban or not, but I don't think the rest of your reasoning makes sense. Certain political groups cling on to seemingly random things, whether there's a research ban or not. For instanc

Why? We have limited resources. We have to be smart about what to research. If the hypothesis is widely discredited, we should not be sciencing it, because that means something else is not being scienced. Should we also be glad if an astr

IMO none of OP's points are the one thing really wrong with (dev/tech) hiring. The absolutely grueling, pointless, insane interviews processes are the lion's share of problems in this field. To the point that its an industr

I love these interpretations. They're at the same time literally true, but completely out of touch with reality. I guess a minimum wage worker at a fast food joint in Manhattan is free to choose to live right next to his job, am I righ

Says who? And what even is objective journalism? This is peak HN, desiring that every aspect of life must be able to be objective. It hardly is. Apart from (barely, not really) local weather, pretty much every piece of journalism can -- and

Yeah, because voices of the American left with socialist perspectives are automatically dum-dums. Only voices of the American right with anti-socialist perspectives should be allowed. Am I right or am I right?

Ruby is one of those things people love to hate. I've worked with Ruby for nearly ten years and have been hearing some variation of "Ruby is dying" since forever.
