Christ I was clearly tired when I wrote this. Apologies for the horrible grammar.

I think it's pretty obvious that free will is an illusion. No matter what, every action -- even if that action is somehow clearly defined as an act of free will (I guess the "classic" example being one of rebellion or a wholl

It’s not necessarily his positions that are insufferable. It’s his insistence on making them regardless of good taste.

He's clearly one of the most important figures of the last century and utterly brilliant. But what makes him an incredible programmer also makes him a bit insufferable. Further reading: his infamous blog post about the semantics surrou

Richard Stallman is always so preoccupied with whether he could make a semantic argument, he never stops to think if he should.

Listen to the composers that influenced the film/game composers you like! A few big ones for me: -Shostakovich's 10th Symphony -Daphnis and Chloe by Ravel -The Planets by Holst -The Desert Music by Steve Reich Start there and you

I totally agree, and this is one reason why, broadly speaking, command line applications often turn me off, even though in theory I prefer them for the reasons you laid out. There's a sort of implication that you're not "in t

I see this logic a lot, and it doesn't quite sit right with me because it doesn't really address the actual problem, which is: I'm not as afraid of being dead, so much as I am most afraid of the short time before. Knowing

But Chrome/etc are totally “allowed” on both macOS and iOS...? Not sure what you mean here.

I’ve gotten downvoted every time I’ve come to the defense of Meyers Briggs on HN, so I’m happy to see a comment with more or less my view of it voted to the top for once. I find it to be an extremely useful abstraction. Being honest with my

I'm looking at a career change (possibly to tech), and I can't help but wonder: is there a way to be one of these managers, but without being a coder first? Weird question, I know. But I'm an advanced beginner of a programmer

It being probably ineffective is not proof that it's fake. In fact, given who we're talking about I'd say that more or less proves that it was intended for use.

Sure, it's a double-edged sword, but that doesn't mean the comment you're replying to is wrong.

I didn't pay much attention to the project at the time, but: Might it have something to do with the word "OS" in the title? It's never worked except for Apple, but because Apple is selling a whole product, not an OS, it

Cmd isn't really a meta key, though. It's just the equivalent of Control on Windows; there's no equivalent of a Windows key on macOS. That said, it's not quite necessary due to the decoupling of app windows and app open&

Hey, professional composer/producer here. I thought I'd give you some honest feedback from one of your target users. These are my more or less unfiltered thoughts as I scroll down the page. Apologies in advance for the bluntness:

Your code is not intellectual property, though. Neither is the janitor's cleaning. A better analogy is you sold a company to Microsoft and retained 10% equity (or any other number, who cares), and Microsoft decided to whatever you&#x27

Fuck. This. Entirely. Any advantage afforded to a given artist by engaging in this service will vanish once everyone does -- the end result is Spotify paying artists less while the artists get nothing in return.

Composer/musician here. I think one of the reasons, as other comments have pointed out, that even designers sometimes (often?) suck at UX is because UX and the constraints of Capitalism don't mix, much in the same way that art i

Yup, it’s super helpful. An alternative abbreviation of my name is one I typically associate with shitty people (never met someone who went by that version of the name that I liked), so whenever I find myself wanting to engage in some form

It's maddening. If they put an i9 and non-ECC RAM in an upgradable desktop, I wouldn't have built my PC. And as the other commenter said, I'd maybe even consider the new display. Too bad for them. They're missing a huge

You know that feeling you get when you see, say, CSI "building a GUI interface in Visual Basic to track the killers?" That's how I feel whenever a post about music hits the front page of HN. Save for a few genuinely educated
