This is awesome. Just for awareness - I started going through the book a few days ago and there's a lot of other useful information outside of the LC style questions (e.g. what's actually important on a resume, how to realistical

I sent a selfie when the YT video came out. Even though it's basically a picture of a picture, I can't help but be excited that it's being taken from actual space. Great for getting the kids excited about what engineering can

Pretty cool video I found. I'm a total noob at robotics, but this really got me motivated to learn more. Entertaining, but also educational - kudos to the Robonyx creator.

Yeah this is wild, keep up the good work, my man. Great minds think alike and all :)

The idea is that users find projects match their interests. If you have an idea, you can post it and someone else may reach out to work on it with you. And if you're not an "ideas person" and want to join another project that

Haha that's nuts - if nothing else, it's pretty good validation that others have this same problem. Let's definitely connect - you guys are building something really cool and I'm looking forward to seeing how you've

Hey thanks for your comment, it made my day. I agree - it was fun to find little niches of the internet. Not for profit, just to help each other build fun stuff. I learned a ton and am excited to continue improving the site while working on

Correction: it's not interesting to you . If you're not the user here, then don't use it.

What I should've said from the beginning: I respect your opinion and (mostly) disagree, although I'll add my linkedIn link to the site to address anonymity concerns. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and hope you have a

It doesn't offend me, I'm just not sure if you're trolling me or not haha. This is one of the more bizarre threads I've seen. I don't have a forum website. It's a site to post projects. You're right, I do

I'm gonna have to read up more on this one. I have a hard time grasping how this is possible: > "Edible robots could be used to deliver food to endangered areas, to deliver medicines in innovative ways to people who have diffic

The article left me with a couple questions - is cancelling a visa for not declaring something like frog embryos normal protocol? Does ICE have evidence that not declaring them was intentional? In any case, I really hope she doesn't ge

Anecdotally, I plan to leave my big tech company job within the next year for something remote. It'll likely be a pay cut, but we have kids and know they'd prefer growing up near their cousins. It's a tough tradeoff, but they

The comments in this thread freak me out. Either the world's media has brainwashed the population into believing America is failing and the 'right' is evil/dumb, or I'm totally delussioned (as an American) for seein

Seems overly risky. Probably better to put money in domestic/international bonds/stocks. Crypto is fun but I still haven't seen a practical use case (not to say there isn't one, I just haven't seen it yet).

Strobelight is a lifesaver. Especially with high qps services - makes it much easier to see where it's worth spending time trying to optimize.

Top comment is a one sided political one...what happened to HN? :( Maybe it's always been this politically one sided and I just hadn't noticed until now, I just always saw it as a place for cool tech and real discussions. But now

Learn how to make a point without sounding like you don't know what you're talking about about. Spending money on this isn't helping 'us' in any positive way.

No that's not what I mean. Don't put words in people's proverbial mouths.

Honest question - can you not get these products from other stores or do all of them source products from Mexico and China? If so, it does seem like DOGE and other price saving initiatives will be closer to a net 0.

I agree with you. You put on your own oxygen mask before you can help others. The US has debt interest payments of over a trillion dollars a year - totally unacceptable. We can't keep funding a war that can be willingly ended.

Thanks for the honest response. I still find myself pulled into some topics (e.g. this thread), but I've largely tried to avoid the comments lately. Honest conversations are hard to have without getting flagged for disagreeing with peo

Who gets to decide what the gap can be? Employees? I don't believe there are ever "unbiased, third parties" in these situations. You want to pre-emptively prevent one outcome by controlling the company - but this level of pow
