You now qualify if you (as a 14 year old) send a nude selfie to someone else. Manufacture & distribution, something like that. We (rational Americans) are as perplexed as you are how that could possibly qualify.

A bit off-topic: I've been in 12 car accidents, I think. 2 while I was driving a car, neither my fault. One while I was driving a motorcycle, also not my fault. Most were before I was old enough to be driving. 5 of the vehicles were to

That first one (the only one I read) is such a nightmare. Just wow. I live in the boonies and my kid gets to roam far and wide by himself. There's some risk involved, but it's never crossed my mind that I'm being negligent. I

Learning Ruby would give you a big leg up over starting from scratch learning Python. I don't know if you are familiar with any programming languages at all, but many skills translate cross-language...the paradigms are the same. Partic

No. Learning Python is quick and simple compared to learning data science or machine learning. Knowing Python and Django (which I do) does not afford you any ability do to those things.

I'm also convinced that they haven't thought it through very far. The type of user who wants ads blocked is highly unlikely to click on one, and has been done a great disservice if forced to view the ad. If the model is pay-per-im

I pointed it out, and I don't really care exactly--I just think it's common courtesy for the person to disclose it. He didn't, so I did for him.

I have turned to other things (that involve being outdoors or at least standing), but I do want to replace some misspent time with reading. I was a voracious reader in my youth, pre-internet, and I miss that. And even when comparing with HN

I'm a self-taught programmer and theory is definitely my stumbling block. Also occasionally lingo...since my education is informal, there are sometimes things I haven't yet encountered that other people--particular CS grads--seem

I frequently disable reddit, and sometimes HN, in my hosts file. I'm both happy and sad to discover that I don't even know what to do on the internet when they're not available. Happy because it forces me to do something else

I use a real-life notebook for anything real-life. I enjoy keeping notes offline. I use a bullet journal style. For quick meeting notes or todo notes at work, I send myself an email.

I sold my collection in about 2000. It wasn't worth 5k...mostly 4th edition cards, and whatever expansions were out then. I sold it to my cousin for $75, which was cheap because I was doing him a favor, and he never paid me.

As a web dev who does about 40% front-end, I find vim just as useful there as I do for all he other dev work I do--which is very, very useful. I have no particular reason to want to jump into an IDE, which I imagine is what you're reco

I wonder, how "well" did previous generations do? The bar has been moved so far, so quickly, that it's hard (for me) to say. I would venture that folks in rural America are living better than they ever have. I see truly desti

Yes, of course. They're not the only picky ones, though. For instance it's very common for income debates on HN to be full of comments about how people "cannot live on 12k/year." Replace 12 with whatever threshold y

Regardless of where I live, I don't feel the need to leave my "home" every day. Not to say I don't go outside, but I don't need to commute somewhere (I own some acreage and I spent plenty of time on outside on it).

I usually have no music or distractions, but sometimes I like music. I tend to need music without lyrics, or in a foreign language, or sometimes that is so familiar to me that I don't pay attention to the words. Usually I can't ha

As a programmer, my limiting factor has nothing to do with my available visual field. Has nothing to do with resolution, either, once I've achieved a relatively normal resolution. Today, that's 1600x900. I don't think I'

I code on a laptop, and I prefer it to big, dual-screen setups. I do admit it's a very large laptop, but it doesn't have to be. I code in Vim, inside tmux, inside a terminal. All of my ide-type tasks happen there. Tests, code, wha

Eventually you'll lose your drive, and therefore data if you don't backup. In 58,000 years none of the data would be intact if not through pretty extreme efforts to preserve it. I guess maybe we'll find ways to encode data on

When I do it, it's not fun. I'm in my 30s and I'm actually a night-owl, but if I have to get up--nope! I actually just can't stay awake if I'm overly tired. I will fall asleep anywhere, including driving. I don&#x27

I have never pulled nor considered a (professional) all-nighter. No project I've worked on has been that important, though I can think of some situations that would be. I have left the office after 8pm (11-12 hour day) a handful of tim
