   Why is hand brakes stupid? Much better control/modulation, especially with hydraulic disc brakes.

   I have been trying to ride the other way on my fixie[0] lately. I think this is kinda the same. I know what I have to do, but instinctively it all gets wrong. I can kinda override it, but then my reactions are way too delayed. So here'

   What you unconsciously do when turning, is to quickly turn it a bit in the other direction first in order to get the bicycle more to the other side of you, so you have a better balance point for the big turn. Not perfectly explained, sorry.

   Might that be because it's impossible to get a job after your first conviction?

   I find it quite scary that whether you can get employed or not is decided on the whim of some company. What if your record is wrong, and they won't fix it? And what value do you get of the screening? What can you find, that really woul

   Last time I read about passive income here on HN it was mostly non-passive side hustles being shown. Or stuff like ad revenue from apps or sales of books. Maybe passive now, but probably took quite some effort getting to there. It may be pa

   Read about what GDPR actually entails. Following it should be simple for a new player.

    I can't really see how it's so burdensome for small firms? It's tauted as a truth every time GDPR is mentioned, but why? If you ask me, being ready for GDPR is much harder for big companies with legacy systems, bureaucracy et

    I could use the cash and some of the credits, but most of it wouldn't be used. But maybe I'm one of few doing AI projects not involving a deep neural net? Hehe.

    I was also thinking about that. Normally we do everything we can to buy stuff from abroad, but for diapers even low cost countries buy here. Kinda absurd.

    If the only way is down, no one would have bought at current prices. If the only way is down, the price would have corrected itself to the down level already. So there is no only way down anymore.

    Not to be overly dismissive, but this article is just... weird? The arguments for why switch are pointless, no mention of the actual benefits. Statements like "Hopefully, JIT was integrated into PHP 7", and a very special explanat

    That's what I loved most about my college/university: no mandatory attendance. Could wake up when I wanted, and start studying at a more suitable time. I also have a hard time following multiple lectures during the same day. So a

    A year or so ago, it was trending in Norway to post that you would donate 1kr (~.1usd) per like, and then challenge your friends to do the same. I bought a friend thousand likes for a few bucks. So in essence, I donated 100usd for about 10u

    I used them for my thesis to make bicycle wheels [0], was fun to watch it making the simulation explode in order to obtain extreme values. Also recently held a workshop where we used EAs to make figures walk[1]. A lot of funny results at th

    If you ditch Spring Boot and wire Spring yourself the startup-time and footprint should be smaller. But 250M may be a bit optimistic.

    > I really wish more companies opened up their assets (or even the game code) upon the closure of a game they've written off. Or just old games in general. Many rewrites of old games are hampered by the lack of assets.

    What do you mean by asset flip? (And how would this encourage this)

    Don't be so dismissive. The point wasn't solving it perfectly, but to mimic the old behavior while avoiding certain bugs/things that made it less enjoyable. And for AoE you cannot precompute everything. Things you have to tac

    And I dislike people exaggerating with no basis in reality to force a point. What hurts the discussion more, me pointing it out or the statement?
