The statistics about the draw weight of war bows being 100 to 170 lb (45-77 kg) is striking to me. Imagine getting to the gym, picking up a single 45 kg dumbbell (the lowest end!), and setting out to rep as many single-arm rows as you can b

We've used (and continue to use) Django for bespoke applications for a decade and a half now. It continues to be the most well-supported, well-governed, well-documented, batteries-included, extensible web framework of all the ones we&#

I continue to be astounded that the ability of the US president to pardon someone of a criminal conviction exists. It seems like such a blatant contradiction of the separation of powers.

Hard disagree. Finding anything of quality on 4chan is like searching for gold nuggets by hand in a mountain of radioactive poop. The only times I've ever seen anything useful in there is when someone else has already done the hard wor

As an outside observer, the difference between the current US administration and the CCP is becoming smaller every day. What's the point of having actual domain expertise when the primary selection criteria is partisan support of the c

> Honestly your paranthesis that "the right is way worse" is already too political for my taste. They're not wrong, though.

Counterpoint: it's super clear and easy to read on Firefox mobile. No popups or interstitial ads. Yes it's quite lengthy and there are many pictures, but you know what you're getting into with any long article like this one.

Pain is weird. The more I learn about it, the less I'm sure of anything to do with it. It's a different subjective experience for everyone. The severity often doesn't correlate to any observable physical insult. It's wor

I very much relate to the sentiment of starting out with simple tools and then backfilling knowledge gaps as I went. For me it was Excel -> Access shared DB forms -> Django web application framework -> etc. From spreadsheets, to da

This. This is what I come to Hacker News for. Absurdly well-documented writeups of things about which I am intellectually curious but that no normal person in their right mind would experiment with.

What's the name for that principle/rule where someone blithely removes rules or regulations without any context for them being there in the first place? It's on the tip of my tounge. I feel like we're seeing that a lot i

Couldn't disagree harder. "Participation indicates the legitimacy" is an absurd inference, and does not follow at all. By this argument, non-participation indicates a preference for a non-voting alternative (such as hereditar

This is probably only the tenth or eleventh most-important question to answer about why this disaster happened, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure that you don't need to come into excessive wealth to go through this kind of identity crisis, but it does probably afford you a lot more free time to dwell on it (which probably makes it feel "bigger"). H

Any documentation at all > no documentation, 99 times out of 100. And requiring your people to work 60 hours/week is symptomatic of larger problems.

I've used them both in production enough to feel qualified to counter these, but we'd all just be arguing for our opinions. Both are excellent frameworks, with no clear standout IMO. I will say one thing in response: we've fo

While there are potential health issues (outside those resulting from PED use) to being too jacked, they're not even remotely the same severity/risk as those from carrying too much body fat.

BMI (as a diagnostic tool for overweight and obesity) has some problems, but it's good enough for most people most of the time. The measurement is FAR less likely to return a false positive (due to someone being "too jacked")

I tried the same search on DDG and Bing, and saw a variety of the same fake images on both. The monster is already past the gate.

The irony of Google's core value proposition (search) being rendered useless by a technology that Google is investing heavily into (AI). It's a self-licking icecream cone of suckage.

My personal assumption (unsupported by evidence) is that the social aspect of dance training might be as big of a factor in any supposed difference here. Dance classes are inherently more social group activities than many type of structured

You might not be seeing what you think you're seeing, WRT everything going into the same truck. Lots of municipalities (e.g. mine) undertake resource extraction from commingled waste & recycling streams. It isn't the same ever
