Maybe it's a translation issue, but this article doesn't really answer the question at its root level and keeps referencing recent events - obviously Russian troops in Donbass are concealing their identity, but Eastern European tr

OMG! I'm glad I'm not the only that noticed this. The music is definitely there to discourage staying and working.

I also feel I've seen this mentality in play in politics - the core of of bourgeois politics seems to consist of virtue-signaling or name-dropping challenging philosophers.

Dang, I am so tired of hearing about imposter syndrome. I get it. It exists. Maybe I'm more comfortable knowing that there are lots of things I don't know, even as an experienced engineer? It seems like such endless studies and ba

Yeah this doesn’t belong on hacker news...

Piggybacking off the fizzbuzz comment, but at my job we we don't ask hard whiteboard questions - just simple ones that prove people can code, and 75% of them can't do it. If you can't do fizzbuzz, you can't do this job

Agreed. I definitely felt like it was far more obscure and hacker-y five years ago. I remember things like Beej's guide to Network Programming were ( https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ ) formed the crux of the conten

Yep, this is a huge problem in the ecosystem right now. The irony is that JS, an interpreted language, is becoming slower to compile than some of the newer compiled language (i.e. golang, which compiles to machine code and therefore avoids

Agreed. Gitlab is cool but $1 billion valuation? Seriously? Do they even have significant marketshare over GitHub and Bitbucket?

Energy/productivity. I have the time to work on things, but after a day of work and an hour at the gym my brain just wants to go straight to reading, videogames, or laying down and relaxing. I'm struggling to consistently use thos

Eh, I can read significantly faster than I can listen. And listening is far more annoying. Could you imagine, for example, a door constantly bleeping "Fire Exit, Do Not Open" for illiterates?

Shit, this sounds like a previous startup I left. Product-market fit acquired, growing steadily, near-profitability. Then Series C, and sudden pivot to more ambitious product. A few months/years later (I left before this, seeing the da

1000% this. My experience, being close with some very high achievers in my life - some being CEOs, some being average Joe's at 9-5s - is that what determines success is not really the individual. This idea of the lone Atlas to raise th

The tech industry learned this the hard way - MVP, then iterate is the way to go. Star citizen abandoned its MVP (Squadron 42) awhile ago. That's why the combat sucks and there is still no core gameplay loop. A management fiasco that w

Yep. I remember tons of marketing/advertising people going around enthusiastically talking about how chatbots are "the next big thing." No professional UX people or engineers were really pushing the tech that I knew.

The law is that pedestrians always have right of way. Jaywalking is a fine, but not a jail sentence. Not coming to a full stop for jaywalking pedestrians, however, is how I failed my first driver's test.

There is, and the data doesn't look good. There's typically 1 death per 100 million miles driven. Uber's only driven a couple million miles.

I don't think it has no value - I'm just saying it has more in common with art (like Shakespeare, as you mentioned) than Theory. Perhaps it's a confusion of terms on my part. I disagree that it's an academic/laypers

I agree and both disagree. I'm working right now for a client that is a large corporation that didn't do any of those "fad" things - and it is _tremendously_ costly. For example, one team has spent several weeks and thou

I've been thinking lately about the "sloppy reasoning" problem of critical theory. I used to really love critical theory when I was younger, but now that I'm older I'm almost ready to dismiss it as entertaining cran

For all the negativity in this thread, you've pointed out (in my opinion) the one actual problem with this. It's going to be like living next to a highway in any urban area. Not any noisier than an apartment in new york, I suppose

There's a lot of negativity in this thread. I'm really excited about this. Even on an aesthetic level, it will be amazing to look at the city sky and see hundreds of lights buzzing about, blade-runner style.

At this stage, I think it may be easier to automate a drone than a car. Buildings and hills don't move around that much, and air traffic won't be as random as roadway hazards if implemented correctly.

These are two pretty unrelated issues, and it is a fallacy to compare the two in this context. It's not unlikely that the majority of transit in the western will be automated in the next century or two. The technology to filter and cle
