At the risk of sounding Ad Hominem, "whatsupwiththat.com" is primarily a climate change denial website and scientific conspiracy theory blog. I'd take any claims with a grain of salt.

These aren't simply customer quibbles, Coinbase is literally causing customers to lose thousands of dollars of their own money. They clearly are an untrustworthy company, and people should be informed - especially when there are large

Is this really a common viewpoint in the developer community? I'm a programmer, and I do it because I find what I do to be exciting. I, in fact, truly enjoy "skimming 1,000 lines of log output" to finally find a bug I've

It could be that, or perhaps these substances "without accepted medical value" have been vilified for years without adequate rational thought, and in fact help certain people live normal lives. I wonder if the label on a hepatotox

I know this is an unpopular opinion among the tech elite, but I absolutely consider the aesthetics of a device to be as important as what you're supposed to do with it. I'm glad that the electronics / software industry is mov

I'd think that most professional web developers are developing for a VPS where there is no "CPanel". As for me, all of my development is done either in Docker or Vagrant.

In science - especially health science - it is not the responsibility of the skeptic to prove that a particular theory is wrong, rather it is the responsibility of the person making such claims to substantiate them.

You may have heard an identical idea a few months ago, but I've never heard of it. I have heard of Popcorn.

The discussion is around web design / development - a field with an extremely high number of people running OSX (I'd say that the majority run OSX, but I don't have any statistics to back that up, just observation).

This is very common, and there was a pretty lengthy discussion about interview anxiety on HN a few weeks ago. Had this person been tasked with writing a loop outside of an interview environment, they likely would have had no issues at all.

A therapeutic dosage of methamphetamine (Desoxyn) is about 5mg - 15mg, whereas a recreational dosage can be as high as several hundred milligrams. Though certainly toxic at higher doses, research hasn't shown that the drug is toxic at

I don't think that anecdotes, personal beliefs, or unqualified claims are the right way to approach something like this, especially if you don't have any personal or professional experience with the disorder. Any disorder or disea

Methamphetamine in fact IS prescribed by doctors to treat certain disorders. It's unfair to compare prescription methamphetamine to street meth since street meth is not only often very impure, but is typically taken in dosages 30x - 50

I'd recommend that you talk to a few people with ADHD and see if they consider their disorder to be "the slightest deviation from the norm". It's clear from this article that doctors certainly don't see it that way.

I'm glad someone else mentioned this. I have delayed sleep phase syndrome, which melatonin helps with, but the horrible, traumatizing nightmares make it unbearable and unusable.

In the quote you've chosen the researcher specifically says "on the whole". Are you arguing that your physiology represents the whole of humanity? This may have enormous implications for cancer research and neuroscience if so

While it's great that you experience no negatives from being a night owl, a personal anecdote like this cannot be considered alongside medical research. With any research, findings apply to the majority of the population studied - if,

Is it just me, or do all these visual editors that have been popping up on Hacker News lately seem to be more difficult to read than Vanilla JSON? One of the main founding concepts being JSON was to make a human-readable data representation

In terms of performance, while it CAN be done, it would be several orders of magnitude slower than even the slowest phones on the market today. I'll just take the processor module as an example: in a modern consumer processor, bidirect

Really not sure what you're on about here. First off, trying to use their inclusion of Bootstrap as a negative comes off as elitist nonsense. Second, the file you are discussing is actually 131KB uncompressed and 43KB when gzipped. No

Many people, me included, experience something called "interview anxiety". It is only ever present during interviews. It may not be rational, but it's how our minds work. It's easier to understand if you think of it like

I take issue with your statement that "not to believe is as religious as someone believing in something". Being atheist myself, this is inaccurate. I consider the existence or non-existence of a deity to be a non-issue, so it is n
