“Just” to program stuff for the web? Web development is a complicated and amazing feat of engineering! The fact that you can write some code on your machine to make any pretty graphic and maze of pages you want and it will run in this thing

Reading this thread was extremely frustrating for me as I have this idea in my head that everyone on HN is a seasoned software engineer. But obviously that’s not true, which is a good thing! And I certainly shouldn’t be frustrated at other

But in the long run knowing all that makes it easier. We could have some GUI for doing all those things but it would end up being a massive mess of buttons EVERYWHERE and endless menus. And maybe a nice wizard could be designed for the giv

Thank you for this example. I’ll be using it. I’ve been struggling to articulate that just because technically someone is free to do something doesn’t mean they aren’t being meaningfully hindered from doing it.

I think the comment you are replying to is saying that the area the cops let those people into was either already over run and they were moving to a different place to keep people out. Or that it was area the people were allowed to be in,

I’d say faith can be belief in anything you haven’t seen yourself, including thing done through scientific methods. I have to have faith in scientist that they know what they are doing and correctly reported their results and in the committ

I think our whole culture has developed a massive victim complex in recent years. It seems like every group is trying to point to how they are oppressed (some more rightfully than others) and almost glorifying it in this weird way I can’t q

Hear me out on this because the first sentence sounds crazy but I’m not condoning what these people did. What came to mind when I read this news about Capitol Hill was the famous MLK quote “A riot is the language of the unheard.” Along with

It is about money just not always so directly. The privacy issues and divisiveness of Facebook is a core part of their business.

Pretty much all governments have a history of maliciousness and/or incompetence. Well I think it unlikely they would allow it. It is certainly in the realm of possible scenarios.

Not a frequent Kaggle user but from what I’ve seen the ones posted in notebooks are baseline examples. The things anyone who is competitive enough to win has probably thought of and dismissed or could implement themselves in half an hour an

This passage isn’t as much about forgiveness as correction. You are supposed to forgive no matter what (77 times). But this is if someone is doing wrong and needs to be corrected. If no matter what they will not stop their bad behavior then

I think they could also go to the hospital right now. But I think that needs to be communicated; some sort of message telling people “Covid is serious but so are a lot of other health issues if you think you need medical help get it!”

Probably why every tech company told me every day for the last 6 months to vote. I think the thing I’m most excited about with this election is to stop being bombarded by every site to vote!

I think it may be different if you are philosophically opposed to the themes the author is trying to convey. My views do somewhat align with CS Lewis so I am biased. But the reason I specifically mentioned him is because he has many overtly

I think some truly excellent authors can start novels with themes in mind and still have a great book at the end. I am thinking C.S. Lewis specifically. Many of his works he knew the philosophical themes that would be present before writing

Yeah, this drives me nuts. Even if they can't use Linux at the start of the project name for copyright rules or whatever there must be another name that isn't the exact opposite of what it is.

Perhaps GP is not aware of how vaccines work. You should seriously answer the question. But yes, that is how vaccines work more or less. Though I believe the virus in the vaccine is either dead or incapacitated in some way.

I think we have to hold scientists to higher standards for code quality because it has a direct impact on the findings of their results. How many off by one or other subtle errors that are found later in testing have most software engineers
