I have a hard time believing that their website was more popular than YouTube. I remember using loads of different video streaming services before YouTube was bought by Google (e.g. Vimeo, Google Videos, etc) and I've never heard of li

Very cool! I wonder why they wrote their own source code analyzer instead of building off of the language servers that already exist: https://langserver.org/

This also happened to me! I think I reported the issue to an engineer at Soptify but I never heard back. If an engineer at Spotify wants to chat about it, my email is my username @gmail.com.

To add some "anecdata" to the discussion, vitamin d supplements changed my life. I learned that my vitamin d levels were super low (7 ng/ml, when less than 20 ng/ml is deficient) from a routine blood test. Within a month

With all due respect, I think your argument is a little silly. Typos are the one mistake that programmers never stop making no matter how experienced they are, in my experience. For the same reason, you can pick up a book by an experienced,

Another interesting things about Japan's traffic lights: as far as I can tell, they don't detect whether cars are waiting for the light. Last time I visited, I was waiting for ages for the light to change along with other cars, an

There are two kinds of lessons you can learn when you mess up: 1. Be more careful next time so that you're less likely to make the same mistake again. 2. Fix the system so that nobody can make that kind of mistake again. Learning lesso

Supplementing vitamin D has had a large impact on my life. A couple years ago, I frequently felt lethargic and was always getting sick. I randomly got a blood test, and it said that everything was fine except my vitamin D levels, which were

I work with Nikhil. He's incredibly smart and a fantastic programmer. Didn't know he wrote a book on libuv though!

According to the article, the model doesn't apply to linguini, so I'm not surprised it doesn't always break into 3+ pieces.

Hey Sam! Regarding sleeping, I've had really bad sleep problems since I was a kid, to the point where I pulled all nighters a couple times a month just because I knew I wasn't going to get to sleep that night. I fixed all of my sl

Nathan For You is one of the best shows out there. It's a satire of other business advice shows -- the host pitches ridiculous business schemes that are usually borderline scams, and it's crazy how often they work out. He's h

Excluding religious groups from special nonprofit deals is pretty normal in the US. For example, my employer does donation matching for non-religious nonprofits. You're reading a lot more into it than you probably should.

Morality is a human tool to think about human behavior. Applying it to nonhuman animals is a distraction.

When I looked into this, I used the GitHub Events API to get all of the events the user took[0], and then filtered by Push Events. Push Events consist of commits to a repo, and I used the GetCommit Repository API [1] to get more metadata fo

Nice work! It would be cool if you pulled my commits for the day and showed them in the log. I experimented with a similar idea ( https://github.com/samertm/githubstreaks ), and it's a lot of fun to see a detailed b

Hmm, I don't really understand this. How is this used on real teams? Doesn't having an unhappy face next to your name signal "I AM A PROBLEM EMPLOYEE"?

If you can't see the blatant sexism and disrespect for women in their comment, then there's no way I can help you. I'm not a miracle worker.

I'm sorry, but anti-white racism and anti-male sexism aren't real things. Sexism is clearly a thing, as shown by your very sexist comment. Stop making HN an unsafe place for women.

I'm not going to argue with you, but please stop talking about something you clearly know nothing about. For anyone else that reads this thread, chickens are smart animals with complex social lives. See this excerpt from "Are Chic
