I didn't hear it from someone in tech; in fact they are now doing house flipping. However, they embodied this 'success personality' quite explicitly. I can definitely relate to hosting parties with mixed moods. Over time you

It's also a circuit breaker for regular brokerages too :)

Being HN, people love to debate, and god forbid you give an in for moral high-grounding. My student loans were crushing at one point. Now I require my friends and family to remind me the weight of a 'few thousands'. I feel drawn t

If there's a major enough project in it that I can look at, maybe :) Looks promising, but I've been let down by many half-attempts in this space

Sure, you can write Java libraries for a Kotlin project, but I'd argue that for the majority of the code you did make a firm choice

I originally used MoonScript because Lua was an incredibly sparse language. Originally, that was why I chose Lua. As my use case (a game) continues to develop, now I want TypeScript with all its ES6 glory and maintainable types. I lament th

As someone who has made a custom engine - and intended at first for it to be an RTS engine - kudos. Huge accomplishment :)

A non-TC language can be achieved just by forcing proofs. Oh, you want that program to run? Just prove that it is bounded memory and can't halt, etc

https://github.com/b-crawl/bcrawl seems to make the game shorter and be fairly active.

Item destruction I found okay because randarts were immune and it made them feel special. They could have went down the route of mitigation but I respect their clean design ethos Weight management - yes, hard to have too much nostalgia for

The changes remove some of the most memorable moments: - Eating questionable meat for random powers - Losing your great items permanently - Not getting poison resistance and putting off the hive for ages - Not being able to carry as much as

Good to see itch.io getting so much press :) The founder is also the author of https://moonscript.org/

The best outcome from Terry's legacy is to show people that the hobby community will respect your work even if you are a "nuanced" person The worst outcome is someone seeing a pattern of racism being ignored that is not so &q

So long as we aren't talking hard stats, I don't see how one statement is incongruent or not. Companies found in places like e.g. Kitchener, Ontario because they believe there are bright people, 100%. They are still not willing to

I've been told C$120-150k is the salary top end quite a few times. Base salaries don't seem to go much higher. Meanwhile I'm trying to find alternatives to contracting for the US

"You will pay 200% your monthly property tax for each day your grass is tall" is indeed ridiculous

I guess first principles here just meant whatever you might do without the other symptoms in consideration
229.
by ludamad 5y ago
What's the advantage of labelled baskets of symptoms vs treating symptoms from first principles? Honest question

by ludamad 5y ago
That would be an interesting distinction. You'd have to make sure you didn't just open up new reasons to stay private in name only

As someone who doesn't own software I buy from major companies, but continues to collectively own old versions of October CMS, I don't feel much malware. There's still a good deal of actual software here.

Isn't someone who feels the product didn't help their self control just going to hit the refund button?

It's a curious phrase. What does this mean in practice?

You still have to take a capital gain on $1 million -> $20 million when selling it, right? I suppose the charitable offset is much better?

"50% rate... a premium can be added to shares if the deceased has a controlling interest in a company, potentially taking the top rate even higher" I have to wonder, there's a huge incentive to instead have the person somehow

Probably HN wonders if you think we're the IRS, declaring every capital gain like that :) I would see more material if you had some insight into how to invest in AMD looking forward. Saying do DD on all companies in general and then ma

I have some money on AMD as it seems to be a fan favourite. When I ask why I hear "price points". It is possibly a good way to remain in mindshare

Ah yes the 5nm chip hobby scene from the 70s :) I suspect the hobby scene will be like what I see from my friend who hacks keyboards, special mod-able components. There's advantages for when a product is designed on hobby merit, and I

No Code I feel like could be also viewed as a compromise for selling dev tools to mass market. You can sell a "cheap complete*" solution instead for the overhead of also dealing with customer issues / inevitably helping train
