When VP is mentioned I think people automatically assume hairy nests of nodes, lines, trees. Slow and inefficient input schemes. Text-based representations have tremendous upsides (granularity, easy to input, work with existing tools, easy

This isn't a jab at Mozilla, but it's actually kind of amazing that throughout this whole time Mozilla has had only two (arguably one) large, successful, consumer-facing projects. I think this says something about Mozilla or large

My living depends on selling small-batch, high quality, independently made woodworking items and I've struggled with this. Selling on Amazon feels like you're relinquishing control over your product, much more so than Ebay or Etsy

Anyone who had tried to make anything, especially anything original and with mechanical components knows this to be true. Even simple machines require a lot of forethought, planning, and iteration to be able to perform consistently and reli

Yup. Motels aren't necessarily sex related. They're just cheaper hotels where you might only stay for a night or two getting to your destination. Whereas a hotel is some place you'd usually stay during a vacation.

I expected to at least be entertained by the article but it's so full of faulty reasoning I stopped reading about three quarters of the way through. It's full of platitudes and has little critical reasoning to support such a broad

I'm skeptical of that trope also. I remember that stack overflow fizzbuzz post, but I never encountered a interview candidate so bad that they couldn't program fizzbuzz. I've also never been asked to do anything as basic as c

Quit, I'm still under 30 years old. I was a decent programmer but never a good employee. After running the cycle of finding a job, saving up for a year, quitting, running out of money, I ended up quitting for good. Woodworking is somet

Probably the conventional way. Work for a good paying company and keep doing it for a few years. Spend very little. Move up or to a different company when you can. This is the safest way probably. I don't work in tech anymore though an

Similar I ruptured a lumbar disk climbing when I was 25/26. I was also squatting and deadlifting heavy at the time. I went from the strongest time of my life to the weakest where I couldn't even tie my shoes without extreme pain.

So this is what HN has come to? Why is this downvoted? I'm interested as well and would like to read more depth in this comment. Where's the source? The two other replies to this comment are not related whatsoever.

Maybe six or seven years ago. Any neighborhood close to Manhattan is already dealing with the issue of high rent.

What would you suggest? Homelessness is not a punishment society forces onto people. It's an issue for all of society and affects everyone. Pointing fingers and shunning and saying that these people are worthless and deserve everything

Thanks for this comment. It's not too usual to see a perspective this clear and well thought out. Some other points: "Moving" without a car is not so simple. You can hitchhike, with the success of that depending on how you&#x

That carrot is unobtainable for most people. Janitors, teachers, deli workers, city park employees, dog walkers, babysitters, waiters, waitresses, contractors. Doesn't matter how well you "manage your finances" if your salary

And yet NYC still has some of the highest rent in the country. For someone making 60k or less it doesn't matter much if the rent is 2k or 3k a month, it's all totally unaffordable anyway and those people are either pushed further

Central Park is more like a big outdoor garden not in anyway comparable to a large trail system or public lands area. There are trails a little north and in nearby Jersey 1-2 hours by car on the way to (if you head out in the early morning)

How do you suspect fingers become severed? As if intentionally with surgical precision? Or by more violently messy and accidental means? Do you think only a trickle of blood comes out when one of your whole digits becomes separated from you

I think this reaction is justified. The HN reality distortion field is at effect here where otherwise intelligent and rational people make completely unlevel arguments on the basis of weird logic. One or more SEVERED FINGERS absolutely does

While it could have been said with more consideration, I think this comment tells the core of why the game isn't a success. From my eyes the game does not appear interesting to play. At some point not too long ago, the idea of a remake

I see comments like these often enough to convince me that a large portion of the active HN audience are simply out of touch with what's going on outside their major city tech bubble. Not everyone is going to be able to find a well-pay

That's a lazy and ineffective way of making an argument. It's akin to telling your children to go spank themselves. If OP wants to make a convincing point, the proper way is to propose a convincing argument, not "Think about

"If you disagree with me, you're wrong." Wonderful argument.

Right the argument isn't sound. It basically boils down to if big company x hasn't done it already, it's because it's not worth doing it. We know this isn't true because small players make improvements in their fiel
