It's more common to unsafely reuse oil than pull it from the sewer. This is done everywhere to some extent (bad grease at a fast food joints, etc), but China does it on a bigger scale.

Thrift stores in rich neighborhoods have significantly higher quality of items than ones in poor neighborhoods. I would not recommend shopping at poor thrift stores.

The standard bressenham algorithm expects the start and end point of the line segment to be perfectly centered inside the grid. The modified version lets you put the start and end points anywhere. For example, the standard algorithm would a

Looking at Hackernews, some people create accounts solely to promote their own websites, but do not interact or care about the community in other ways. You could call this spam, but I don't think most of the posters think of themselves

I agree with the author that frequent shadowbanning is harmful to communities, but I think he's missing some nuance. First, not every member of a website is trying to be part of its community, so it's unfair to expect the communit

The term "slash fiction" is rooted in Star Trek too. Back in the 70's, a very popular fan-fiction subject was a Kirk/Spock romance (with other gay pairings popular as well). I believe it was mostly women who were into th

I'm repeating the obvious, but in isometric land there's no perspective. If you render a bunch of floating cubes, it's impossible for a viewer to determine their depth. The big difference between an isometric game, and a regu

I wasn't trying to make a point about price (e-mails are practically free). The book could cost half a penny and my comment would still stand. People just view items that cost something differently than genuinely free items, and not in

This sounds a lot like software transactional memory (STM) combined with static single assignment form (SSA). The idea behind STM is to specify some block of code as being one big fat atomic operation, and then the runtime will magically ma

By easy I mean I didn't prep or study, and at the end they said I passed with flying colors. I reckon my answers could have been a lot better though. I've only had two software interviews in my life, so I don't have much to c

I wasn't laid off, but am unemployed. I've found it very difficult to land any interviews, or even get a response from companies. Even what I thought were safe bets (like a job at a bank, writing CRUD apps) do not respond. I'

0.35 is my nearest. In hopes of lowering it even further, here are some nonsensical opinions never expressed on HN before: 1) Programming peaked with COBOL 2) Paul Graham is responsible for 90% of SIDS cases 3) There's no reason to use

Algolia is a ycombinator company. There used to be a different HN search before they took control of it. I believe it was partially done as a marketing move.

I know people who have gone gambling with Gretzky, and Gretzky actually gambles a lot. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if his biggest living expense is gambling. Even the rich lose to gambling. See Michael Jordan, for example.

I was always fascinated by the "Sizzlers" line of tiny motorizied Hot Wheels. The engineering to make a tiny EV seems excellent, especially for the time. I wonder why no similar toy has been made since. https://www.yout

I don't think much hate is directed at the tools per say, but rather it's at the syntax. It's like how people complain about all the idiosyncrasies of English, without denying it's an important, useful language. As Strou

Sure, maybe a percentage or two could be explained by this, but 60% in 50 years? Natural selection takes millions of years to accomplish a feat like that.

Amusingly, old graphics hardware was often quad-based because their past iterations were 2d sprite hardware, and that's what their designers knew best. The "correct" thing to do is follow the top-left rule for rasterizing tri
