It seems to me that if you were to disable the plugins, then you're kind of back to the equivalent of vim+ctags+gdb functionality. So, when saying an IDE is slow and clunky compared to an editor aren't you comparing apples and ora

What part of the IDE's is slow and clunky. Is it just startup you're talking about or other parts? I'm a heavy Intellij user as well as vi user and, apart from startup, don't notice any speed differences.

My number is on some Indian pharmacy's list and seems to have been sold to a bunch of others. I get at least two calls a day. Formerly on my Android, Mr. Number successfully blocked the great majority of these calls. Since switching to

'Tinder is not an app people seem to use to find "the one".' I think this is both true and not true. A suspicion I have (and I'm sure there's got to be research on this) is that a lot of people interested in ca

I think it's also the problem that we just can't predict what the consequences are of such a large ecological change.

Given any consideration to giving some percentage of the profit YC makes to charity or something? After all, YC is benefiting from the wisdom of the crowd and the crowd gets nothing.

Okay, it would have been prudent to not bother with the "was perhaps" rebuttal. But the initial comment was par for the HN course and then a regular back-and-forth took place. Again, par for the HN course. And then there was an ad

You're basing your case that JL was the mastermind behind YC on a "was perhaps"?

by n72 11y ago
One, you said individual, not YC. Two, think of the handful of companies being written about from circa 1916. You really want to claim YC will have that kind of stature?

Still an absolutely absurd statement. Almost as absurd as nominating Ryan Dahl as a counter example.

This statement seems, at first blush, absolutely absurd to me. Can you make a case for it?

Before you get too far into stretching, I'd consider how much you actually should stretch. There's been a lot of misinformation around stretching for a few decades now: https://www.painscience.com/articles/str

I'm as big a boglehead as there is. Nevertheless, imagine you're the only person in the world not indexing. It's going to be quite easy to beat the market. Everyone else in existence is using market cap as the sole criterion

by n72 11y ago
The point is is that it becomes easier to beat the market the more people are indexing. Thus there become more people consistently beating the market. Identification of such is still an issue, but not as difficult.

Just briefly looked at tipranks. For the "Adjust how ratings are measured over a time period of:" the max they give is 2 years. This is a ludicrously small sample size at which you can't distinguish skill from luck.

Yup, you type B's are glorious, righteous, and so often misunderstood people. We, type A's, are pretty much only good for writing unit tests.

As with just about everything, the original hipsters of the trucker hats were non-conformist. There was a certain risk of ridicule they were taking for being hipsters in, what, 1998? Now, however, there's absolutely no risk to being a

There seems to be the implicit assumption in the post that if one is famous then one should be earning significant money somehow. This is a false assumption. Moreover, perhaps if no one is paying for the content, then it's not worth pa

The issue here isn't whether it's true, but why it has not tarnished his image. A lot of images have been tarnished by rumors or allegations, whether based or baseless, so why is the case of Murray different?

The fact he includes "Dr" in his HN username smells to me. Anyone that intent on throwing credentials around, well, makes me doubt that he actually may have those credentials.

So, since its 3 hours since you said this and the page is still up, the charitable interpretation is that you don't have the technical know-how to take it down yourself and are frantically trying to get in touch with Michael, who does.
