I don't want to say this was ever or will ever be a good idea, but the reality of warfare is a lot of the time dudes were just running into an alley and firing off mortars without trying to look or think of what they were shooting at a

You probably need to change the thought experiment to get at what you're really trying to get at. If all man-made things disappeared tomorrow, you're talking pipes, wires, streets, houses, antibiotics, the immediate effect is very

I guess I'm lucky to have taken the career path I have, but I write very little code these days being in pre-sales now. "Productivity" is pretty stark and obvious in sales. You can output all the text you want, maybe it even

MacroFactor is very rare in the modern software world, probably because it was created by fitness science junkies rather than VCs or engineers. Greg was extremely adamant from the start that they're charging money, take it or leave it,

Are they actually NIMBYs or just annoyed? I live in a major metro downtown full of construction and fully support it 100%, but that doesn't mean it doesn't irritate me. Roads and sidewalks are constantly randomly closing. Every br

This posted while I was still in the middle of my other rant, but when I was doing the four guys in one apartment thing putting myself through community college, my job was overnight janitor at Knott's Berry Farm and paid $6.50 an hour

The last time I can remember a reasonably low rent payment, I was paying $300 a month in the year 2000 in Fullerton, CA. That was sharing a two-bedroom apartment between four guys, two of whom lived in the kitchen and living room and paid s

I still feel like this kind of topic is underdiscussed across broader society. A lot of people have their "why I left social networks" story and mine was around 2013 or so when my early 30s friends started having kids, I couldn&

This is a bad place for content like this, unfortunately. Hacker News is extremely hostile to car culture, suburbs, California and the US in general. I don't really drive any more due to working from home and spine injuries in my 30s t

All communication assumes prerequisite knowledge, if nothing more than that the listener or reader can hear or see and understands language at all. The top post on page one right now is "Fable turned reMarkable into Tom Riddle's d

I'm not the world's most productive person in terms of getting any kind of tangible economic benefit from my activities, but I probably am the most dedicated learner I've ever known. I'm sure there are people on the Inte

Big corporations that pay big creators millions per production are just normal studios like Disney and Paramount and nowadays Netflix and Prime. YouTube is the competitor to that. No matter how professional you think of your operation, yo

Depends on the field. There aren't really all that many research tasks that can be completed in a week. One of my favorite stories from the past few decades was the finding of accelerating expansion of space. It took three decades of s

Not all "government" systems are the same. They're rated in terms of impact level and data classification. Classified systems can't be logged into outside of SCIFs anyway and have no outgoing connection to the Internet.

This feels like a basic critical thinking/epistemology thing that you (hopefully) pick up at some point in life, usually from experience finding reliable, canonical primary sources for data. You can't do that for everything. Being

Unless I'm misunderstanding something about the font, these seem to be the shorter en-dashes, not the em-dashes that are otherwise rare to see. Also, there is the question of why? This is a quarterly publication with only a few article

We can estimate this. US median home price right before the crash in 2007 was $240,000. Today, it is about $400,000. Median rent in 2007 was $810. Today, it is $1,698. There's some simplifying assumptions we have no choice but to make.

Ephedrine is a far stronger appetite suppressant than caffeine. It only has a six-hour half life, though. The classic bodybuilder ECA stack was typically taken every four hours, but I suppose it's quite a bit harder to get to 4% bodyfa

That's just risk/benefit to the user. As the developer, I'd be concerned that publicly distributing and marketing this, even with a GPL "no warranty" license and even free to the user, is illegal.

I've never done any JavaScript development of any kind and had never heard of this either. I thought it was a package manager at first, but apparently it's an entire runtime. My question is, if it's this trivial to rewrite Zi

This seems like somewhat of a mischaracterization. He contrasted improvements in software with improvements in hardware, saying we'd never have something like a Moore's law for software where performance doubled or cost halved equ
