I was confused by the title. Apparently epics are a way to organize issues by themes across projects. GitHub doesn't have this concept, in case anyone else was wondering. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group&

I feel like I just shook a tree and a bag of gold fell out. Thank you! Your answer makes me more confident that I can find a mooring. I'm starting to see what my next steps are. Praise be for your time.

In your mind, do hosted wikis and KBs like Stack Exchange, Wikimedia or Confluence address the discovery problem? If not, is there anything close?

Wow, I was unbelievably excited when I saw that first header image. That's not what was generated though. Bummer.

HN is the hardest forum. People smell bullshit a mile away, everyone is super smart and informed, humor is suspect. I've never taken breaks from Reddit due to dejection. I've taken dozens of breaks from HN due to dejection... It d

The assumption is that empathy is a priori. That's a phenomological sense, an alternative to "I think therefore I am." One step below that is "I feel, therefore I am," which applies to all sentient beings with the c

How many video game developers rarely play video games? I bet most game devs don't count gaming amongst their defining interests. There seems to be a majority swath of humans who get hooked on unproductive hobbies. Drugs, partying, soc

Your question is big. The answer I've landed on is little. We're just little furry wiggly wombly tubes struggling against the inevitable pressures of entropy. This is true down to the most basic molecule than can replicate. Object

It seems like people that are highly engaged in online conversations do so because they, consciously or not, think their contributions will pull the universe toward some goal. That goal might be "truth", "freedom", &quot

In case someone reading this thread has never encountered this stance, I sincerely hold the belief that there are objective moral truths that we can discover with our senses and intuition.

To overextend the metaphor, I try to see all the little systems of the world as incubator babies. Some of them are worsening, we may lose some, some are near perfect health... We can celebrate the improvements while simultaneously mourning

Fuck. I envy the mental models you can probably evoke on command. If you have a second to engage, I have found that I learn best in sandbox-types of environments, ie repls, notebooks, etc. What method do you find yourself going back to when

Hahaha that is exactly it. Especially on mobile. My God. I open a quora answer from Google. I start reading, then realize I'm reading an ad. I see a number badge on the Home button in the top nav menu. But I also see a Notification Bel

They could have left that part about intelligence out. I'm extremely intelligent, probably in the top 0.01% of the world. I welcome the less intelligent into my world. I believe in democracy.

I love the preference idea... I'm going to implement that in my personal search engine.

No, they either ran home to watch Dragonball Z or Pokemon depending on if they had cable or not.

I don't think that's true. HN is pretty non-toxic, from my perspective at least. Reddit is tolerable to me. I think the problem is misalignment of incentives. If I'm incentivized to increase engagement, then I can think of so

Cool. Hopefully I didn't come off as mocking. I should have clarified that I meant that general type of false-positive flagging problem. I favorited the post if that tells you anything lol I'm excited to dive in!

I couldn't use chapstick in elementary school because of the relentless bullying it inevitably triggered. Not just toward me, but any male that dared to hydrate his lips. That sort of reaction made me super averse toward any sort of pr

Great point. I'm starting to look at Africa for that low hanging fruit.

Yes, perfectly said. Here's in-depth info on solar flares. Major ones are considered "Carrington-level events", due to a flare that occurred in 1859: https://www.history.com/news/a-perfect-solar-superstor

The hard variable is paradigm-shifts. We see things like quantum computers now, which seem boring at the moment, but the sorts of problems they'll be able to handle are staggering to imagine. Robotics keeps improving, eg replacement&#x

There must be some hormone thing happening that tightens and sheens the skin. I think people say, "she's glowing." As a teen, I once got heckled by some coworkers. "Wow, are you pregnant? Your face is radiating!" I

Oh, that really hurts. I'm lucky my grandpa's sister is still around. I should go see her more. During Thanksgiving I found out my grandpa had a rebellious streak. He quit a steady high-paying job with an American bananero to live

You're not taking into account technological and industrial innovation. Presumably there will be new ideas iterated upon that get us closer to universal abundance. My main concerns over the next few decades are cyberwar collapse (<
