Much of the food tastes better (and much of it tastes exactly the same). It's really nice to have lettuce all the time, and I like being able to pick cherry tomatoes for a snack.

Jeeps get worse mileage than my full size GMC. So do Toyota Tacomas.

They're trying to keep spam out of my inbox, and the spam rate has been increasing for me (and other HN commenters who frequently talk about it)

Exactly. Similarly, I think any dumbass should be able to fix cars in his own yard, including for a fee and calling himself a business. But Google maps better not drive me to someone's yard when I ask to navigate to a nearby mechanic.

Cole South used to be one (probably still is) of the best poker players in the world.

I really hate PayPal, for close to the full 20 years. I still use them mainly because of eBay. I know that's but required now, but it was until pretty recently. It's still often easier to use the PayPal checkout instead of making

I looked Derek up on Facebook and it seems he's living a good life. Beautiful wife, four kids, and seems like he coaches youth sports. He'll never have my blue ribbon, though.

Honestly, not that bad. Classmates openly laughed during announcements. The next day they issued a correction, which was worse than no correction. A few teases in the first week maybe, overall quite merciful.

I recognize injustice that his clever idea didn't win, but he was my worst enemy, so I disguised a smug grin while he pled his case to the judges.

Seems like we should be studying people like this teacher. They've cracked a code but we act like it's individual excellence that can't be transferred.

In fourth grade we had a paper airplane contest, but they had a restriction on the design: a circle about the size of a quarter was on the page, and no fold or crease could go through the circle. The circle was located a few inches above th

I took a similar approach, but I need messenger and I often use marketplace. So I unfollowed every human in my feed. I doubt I've got them all yet, a few months in, but some old friends the algorithm just never shows. I replaced it wit

I'm not a fan of gatekeeping either, but on HN the proper etiquette is to give the poster the best possible reading of their post. I just interpreted their post as talking about bigger, organized projects, instead of small scripts. I p

Not really a counterpoint, but a neat aside: pinball machines used to be actual gambling machines, back when they took nickels. They were common in pool halls my father frequented.

I agree that's a little weird, but for me the consequence of it is small. I'm going to catch that bug quickly. When Ruby does a magic import, that would sometimes cost me a lot of time tracking it down when I first started with Ru

No, not as opposed to a fake codebase. I think it's clear what they meant. One incredibly common alternative to a codebase is a script.

Someone's job is to increase the numbers. I think they should spend the lottery money to hire someone who's job is to decrease the numbers.

That's my understanding. The spudfit guy did only potatoes and a B12 supplement for a year. His claim was that he was getting everything else he needed from the potatoes.

I consider your critique of the comment entirely invalid, given that he didn't complain about quality, he complained about quantity. He complimented the quality.

That's a great creative example, except that she has a lot of options with her $75k/yr salary to afford kids. In your example she's making an absolutely terrible financial decision to spend 60% of her income on housing--rent,

Don't you think it's telling that you're saying they can't afford it, meanwhile much poorer people are still having children and starting families? The hidden catch in your comment is perhaps that they can't afford
