"Dynamic programmic" would be a sweet name for a band.

Nah, no tracking. But maybe I should, that would be interesting. The reason I make those claims is because I don't do much else at the moment except "work" (which for me equals fun). I don't play any video games anymore except the one I w

Allow me to inject some fun: preps needle with 10cc 'Different Topic Time' Paul, may I ask you, "what is the time you (personally) most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage?" It would be cool to know!

Interesting! May I throw in my two cents? For me personally, and because I am 22, and because I truly enjoy my job (game engine programmer), I tend to put in way more hours than I need to. Way more hours. On the order of 80-100hrs/wk. Of c

For what it's worth, I didn't make my wife my emotional lifeline. She truly wanted to help me. It could be luck, but it seems more basic than that: people naturally want to help others they care about.

r[0] = Min( a, Min( b, c ) ) r[2] = Max( a, Max( b, c ) ) r[1] = a + b + c - r[0] - r[2] I don't think that can suffer from integer overflow. But it might suffer from floating-point rounding problems. Of course you could always

(Offtopic: the article you linked to was killed. It's depressing to see the "flag" feature of HN used to suppress topics that are intellectually interesting, but killed just because the ignorant masses happen to find the topic distasteful

Oh, certainly. And people living until 85/100 has become common only recently (relatively speaking). I'm merely mourning the emotional complex of otherwise-logical humans. I happened to have a frustrating week due to coworkers being unwilli

That's my point. All of that is a consequence of people being so massively upset about this one particular event. And for what? Exactly what you said: for no good reason! Let us please learn to put things into perspective so that we can a

Holy fuck. He did all of that in 10 days? Even with a case of Red Bull, a bottle of Adderall, and a heart full of courage, I doubt most of us could come close to that level of productivity. We'd get bogged down in the details. I know I woul

Dear god. It's been 9 years. About ~3,000 random people died. Do you have any idea how many random people have died in the last 9 years? Could we maybe solve car accidents rather than potential terrorist attacks ? I'm sorry for being callo

He died at 85. He had a long full life and accomplished far, far more than you or I ever will, combined, multiplied by 256. (I'd like to think that's an exaggeration; alas.) I don't get why humans mourn the death of people who die at >8

Reality isn't really the issue. People's perception of reality is what will determine whether this system is accepted.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned one of the biggest issues with general acceptance of this system: Police will be able to force anyone to pull over anywhere, at any time, and for any or no reason. Even though they can do that now, people

I'm not sure how [1. how to learn 2. organized methods of thinking about problems 3. how to separate truth from crap 4. how to break down large problems into solvable small ones] can be learned effectively through self study. Perhaps you

It's interesting that HN is developing an anti-drop-out-of-school mentality. It's been fun to watch it manifest itself. People probably do it through a combination of "I don't want to be partially responsible for screwing with a kid's life
