Don’t use strawman arguments mixed with sarcasm, it doesn’t help anyone. Not everything on the internet is a lie or propaganda. Wikipedia is reliable enough to lookup what Juneteenth is, if you were really curious and not just complaining a

Yea I would have spent it on pizza.

I wish I spent that time compiling Gentoo a decade and a half ago farming bitcoins instead. What a waste of time!

I've always found regexes to do a string search faster than other methods, but there is always more to learn! Thanks for the lesson today.

"Get AI to do stuff you can already do with a little work and some experts in the field." What a good business strategy! I could post this comment on 80% of the AI application companies today, sadly.

Have you read section 174? It forces software to be classified as R&D and then use a weird 6 year amortization (10-20-20-20-20-10) for the salary.

No thanks, I have two domains for my personal use and they shouldn’t cost me like two hundred bucks a year, that’s insane to pay a middleman for that.

Obviously Mark just wants someone to challenge him to a good old round of differentiating high school calculus functions or perhaps some 3D star-trek chess, then he knows you're an intelligent gentleman worthy of Canonical.

I personally agree, but I’m not the go team. The hidden control flow was specifically called out but about the try keyword. I like the ? and similar ways of checking nulls, but personally I don’t mind the verbosity in go, even if there are

Go has specific goals like not hiding control flow. This would go against those goals, at least the ways people have thought to do it so far.

Hacker News tries to seem like they don’t push the party line, but they do. There’s no moderation log, there’s little access to any data around moderation, etc. and so my assumption is that this place is heavily bent towards whatever the po

Here’s a second recommendation for that tutorial. It’s the first coding tutorial I’ve finished because it’s really good and I enjoyed building the foundational software program that my craft relies on. I don’t use that editor but it was fun

I agree. No singular story like either of ours represents the hiring practices of any company except those we were part of. That was my point, but I guess subtlety doesn’t work well on the internet.

I’ve been in a meeting where my boss said he didn’t want to hire any more Indians because they aren’t fun to talk to at lunch, so I guess our two stories cancel out?

The "giving a talk" is to introduce newer students to these fields. If you don't introduce undergrads to real research, they never learn about the possibilities they have to study in the future. It is probably really annoying

> his eyes go up, left, right, anywhere but forward In this case perhaps that's a tell, but there are a lot of people who don't like looking people in the eyes for other reasons, too, just so you're aware.

Yea, it's not perfect, and for some it is probably very bad to be in a collective culture where they can't stretch their boundaries or do something too differently than is socially acceptable. Personally: I have mostly lived in a

In a collective culture like Japan, you take care of your responsibilities yourself to improve the collective good. It’s basically the opposite of the tragedy of the commons in individualistic cultures, IMO. The nail that sticks out gets ha

I mean, you asked about examples I had, so I was being specific. I’m not here just to answer your questions, but to have a discussion, I don’t know why you’re being aggressive. I don’t run a company, so I can’t tell you if dicking around wo

Just because it’s my best work doesn’t mean I created a database. I don’t work at Google so I don’t have access to their world class resources and knowledge. For me, my best work is furniture that I didn’t plan beforehand, I just had a gene

Some of my best work is done when I’m just dicking around.

Because that’s what tech companies want today. They don’t want hackers and shit, they want corporate automatons who will code for scraps.

We’re sitting here arguing about the obviously incorrect title and America is burning, so we are speaking about the wrong thing. It’s irrelevant whether it’s 70 or 0 percent, we’re still fucked. Discussing the issue of 70 vs 0 percent isn’t

by ok_dad 1y ago
You’re speaking about technicalities. There shouldn’t be any argument that our economy will continue to be fucked by tariffs and supply issues. 30 percent is massive.

If I drink 30% less water overall, I’d be pretty unhealthy.
