I emailed dang about it a while (years) ago. He said he's added it to the fix list, after initially saying that having a quote tag would mess up the site's "character." You may want to email him too.

Side note: your comment is one of the few times I've seen the code tag used for actual code on HN, rather than quotations or just indentation.

Lots of places like this. Check out this 3-bedroom with front porch, backyard, for $70,000 in Iowa: https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/IA/pmf,pf_pt/87001013_...

If it's run by highly experienced biotech scientists, and not a 20-something Stanford dropout, sure.

I think the revenue from this would be a drop in a bucket compared to what Boeing pulls from conventional subsonic jetliners. Also, their entire engineering paradigm favors slow & conservative development. See how ULA has struggled to c

This is the standard "engineers other than software are idiots" type HN FUD. For the record, Boom is staffed by aerospace veterans from the likes of Scaled Composites, P&W, Adam Aircraft, SpaceX and Boeing. https://

They might be systems of belief. But they're not religions.

You can just show up any time the gym is open. There are bouldering walls, just find a problem (what bouldering "routes" are called) that no one is on and go for it. Gym bouldering is usually pretty social, most people will be hap

You can combine approaches. I'm a "weekend warrior" with climbing, hiking etc., and my passion for those activities spurred me to train during the week on a schedule. I'd gym climb or work out at home with dumbbells, so

Most girls I've found are really into the ghosts and ghouls sets. Actually, even among adult women I've noticed a heightened interest/enjoyment in talking about paranormal/scary phenomena. I have no idea why.

I've heard the cold, hard truth about DS bootcamps is that your job prospects after completing one will be about the same as they were prior to the bootcamp.

Number One: In 1945, corporations paid 50% of federal taxes; now they pay about 5%. Number Two: In 1900, 90% of Americans were self employed; now it's about 2%... It's called consolidation; strengthen governments and corporations,

I think transport companies are doing largely beneficial work. They're making cars, airplanes, spacecraft safer and more efficient. This was my former field, and it was great to hear a story of how one customer used our product to resc

Really? You don't think that any for-profit companies are doing anything meaningful? That's quite a leap. Surely there are physical products in your life that provide a tangible benefit, thereby making the labor behind them &quo

Granted, the definition of "continent" is not rigorous, and depending on where you grew up in the world, you might have learned there are 5-7 "continents."

It's a fair question. The mathematician Ted Kaczynski proposed depression to be largely a modern construct (emphasis mine): > Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the

The noble savage is just a fictional trope. No one denies that people in past times had materially worse-off lives than we do today. But they probably had more freedom. In medieval times, you might have half of the year off for vacation: h

The immigrants running tiny ethnic places have done the sensible thing and relocated to the suburbs. Of course, in time they'll be priced out of there too. There's a new type of "food desert" emerging, maybe "foodie

Most CFD guys have aerospace engineering/physics backgrounds, not CS. Trust me, the coding is the EASIEST part of the field. It's almost an afterthought. CFD development, at the level where you are contributing novel work, is appl

He would not be a culture fit at any biotech startup, that's for sure. I love how at the end of the video, the Nobel laureate in medicine takes a long drag from a cigarette.
