Agreed. I am an English speaker and fluent in the corp speak dialect and at least to me a lot of these terms (maybe all of them?) have different connotations than what the author thought was a totally equivalent English word (e.g. "let

Hard to say without knowing what kind of game you want to make. I would say look to the games you play that inspire you and to which you aspire to make, then look up what engine they use. For instance, I really like Nuclear Throne and might

I really like Elm [0] and write all my side projects in it. There are many reasons I like it, but the one that probably plays best around here is that it feels like a very learn-it-for-life type language. It has a release cadence measured i

'Belief' is a squirrely concept. How much of this is them professing to believe it vs actually believing it? I have a strong suspicion that people answer these sorts of questions by mapping "what kind of person I am" to

Agreed, the Bach clan has to be one of the top families to have left off! Maybe the other Bachs are only well known to classical music lovers though.

It's important to keep in mind that this might be less sinister than it first appears (or more...there's that interpretation too). The "Great families" idea reaches beyond politics into science and art as well: https:&#

What is bulletin.com? What I understand to be the original post is here [0]. Why is there a repost and why link to it over the source? [0] https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/06/th...

They were providing you the trays outright before-- was that being left to your own devices? Seems the more natural and primitive state is letting you get your food and if you see fit to obtain a tray to eat it with well no one's stopp

I think the disagreement about whether black markets are real and "price gouging" is a helpful way to frame what happens boils down to ordinary folks (excusably) rounding off high supply and demand inelasticity to 100% and folks t

>Blackmail is also a thing. "take down video x or I'll strike your account" and such. That's still not blackmail. Blackmail is when you threaten to divulge information about someone unless they pay you.

It doesn't even have to be the case that, as you say, "it is more expensive to earn any income than it is to earn none". That describes an implicit tax rate of >100% which would certainly discourage work, but even if it we

I agree except for the part about "buy low, sell high." Timing the market is a fool's errand, and it gets no easier during a time of recession.

I would say jQuery has a place in any codebase that's simple enough it has imperative statements like that. Past a certain not-too-high level of complexity you're much better off writing "if (condition) then <element> e

Funny thing is this is going to happen with all AI generated things. If and when GPT-4 comes out for writing and it's as much better than GPT-3 as GPT-3 was from 2, then it will be easy to know if a given piece of writing was human or

Agreed. Unfortunately when it comes to ads (which I also hate! I have adblockers installed, subscribe to premium services like Youtube premium when it makes sense...) HN commenters take leave of their wits and just start posting conspiracy

There's a deep love for cooking in many people, raising the de facto salary of being a chef. For the most devoted it raises it astronomically high. So competition drives down prices in the only way it can-- nominally and through intang

Yeah I only meant they don't recommend earning to give as your career path if you are going to devote your career to altruism. Giving money is still highly beneficial, just not as beneficial as giving top charities your mind full-time.

I surely hope this is being linked here for us to marvel at its pettiness and incorrectness. >“We believe a more accurate phrase for this concept is “defective altruism” and will therefore use that term for the remainder of this article.

GiveWell no longer commonly recommends earning to give, or so I'm told. The amount of money sloshing around in causes they consider as the most impactful outweighs the human talent available so they now more commonly recommend going in

Just tax the carbon already. The back and forth tug of war over how much gasoline any entity, public or private, individual or collective, "deserves" to consume at current market prices is exhausting and morally asinine.

Isn't that like saying someone who won the lottery wasn't lucky, we just don't understand the individual person's chances to win? Like in some way it makes sense but for the purposes of actually deciding whether to recom

I'm in the awkward middle area I think where I'm almost a digital native, and what you said maps perfectly to my experience. In middle school and high school I got pretty good at the first type of search you mentioned. I was young
