Anger gives you drive. Cold fury is the most powerful. If well placed it allows to keep the drive past the adrenaline. The if part is the critical one. Negative emotions are often poisonous and after a while a person realizes it is kind of

And you saw it all nonetheless :) I have a bit of an impostor syndrome given HN’s high brow public but this is cluedo-master level. At least there is a prize.

It was claimed about writing as well. Oral experience passing was considered superior. The Quran puts great emphasis on decoration of it so it can be transmitted and recited orally.

Neil Degrasse Tyson famously called out titanic for having an incorrect night sky depiction. In a later remaster they fixed it. It is well covered in his book as well as online.

Just would like to say that actually the other way happened. Litrpg is a new book genre based on game mechanics. Very dynamic community with lots of amateurs. I would connect it with the pulp fiction movement of the XX century.

Same here. I have a theory. The obscure error are due to unexpected Syscall results. Programmers are very aware of the states their programs can be into given the visible logic. They often are not aware of the possible states a syscall can

I don’t know if I am disgusted , amazed at such a great idea and shocked somebody would do such thing even after getting sick repeatedly. It is a new level of debauchery for sure.

I am in the same camp. I also don’t think it is bad in compensation terms because lots of this maintenance work is often called devops and devops is well paid from my point of view. I do the logistics for embedded or SaaS. It has been good

Perhaps but I think you shouldn’t feel you were disqualified because you missed the GitHub projects. Stating that you are a father is an honest answer and also sets the expectations on whether you are going to pull all nighters or your dedi

As usual US companies go to other countries with their legal and commercial way of work and without care trample the local law. To play FIFA or crash bandicoot in Poland I need to agree on a huge EULA in English before playing. Arbitration

Damn right. Japan sank in the early 90s when the US imposed duties on their goods. Cue neutering their industrial power. I expect the same to happen to China and I believe we are already seeing that happening. If the Americans say they won’

Incredibly insightful comment, even the performance concern. Apologies for doing a glorified +1 comment, but if you take the above comment plus the article's in-loop mutation algorithm and try it in different languages you get insights

I would argue that the OG of state violence monopoly is Thomas Hobbes and the concept of sovereign as the deposit of the individual’s ability for violence. Will read the link though. In Portugal there is also philosophy in high school and w

The most basic definition of state is that it is some institution with the monopoly of violence. Think of it, who in all myriad society organisations and hierarchies has the legitimacy to use force? The state. Even murder is allowed and tra

Honestly I believe this is the core of woke/anti woke culture wars. Either side wants it their way, albeit that leads to conflict. Both sides need to compromise and accept the costs of eachother’s world views. That is the consequence
