I wonder what it's like to have such a naive black and white view of the world. You speak of left and right like it's a fantasy movie with some long narrative about good and evil. And you speak as though the concept of right and l

I think you're being disingenuous if you believe receiving a no-shit check from the government for $30k per year is the same as scraping by through food banks, homeless shelters, and one-time medical care in the emergency room. I would

Can someone please retitle this to "Building a multi-million dollar mansion in the woods"? "Modern home" makes it sound quaint and interesting. Instead this is just someone throwing a lot of money at a giant dwelling.

The title is "playing with", but the article is just a gallery of EXISTING stylesheets. At the bottom is a blurb about how to make your own custom one by simply copying one that exists. There's almost zero content here other

How has this been voted so high up given that it: 1. Doesn't seem to work for anyone 2. Doesn't have anything specific to do with HN users. Since anyone can use it, it's just a random voice chat connection website.

Genuine question: what are the reasons to be a carpenter without much robotics / automation knowledge in 2022. Seems like a wakeup call for carpenters.

First of all, that's on the low end of the spectrum, so "often" is a stretch. Second, that only takes into account seat time, not all of the other study required to understand the instruments and other assorted knowledge.

Pay attention to all of the answers you're receiving. It's like they're coming from the University itself! Not one single concrete example of where someone has used GJ in the field, just a bunch of the same excuses and hypoth

The answer is simple: this course is taught at a university, so they have to fill the time with _something_. And if that something is a rote method that lends itself well to testing, even better! It matters little if actual engineers in the

So your argument for why Airpods suck is that "hey, everything else sucks too"? I thought Apple was supposed to be a shining beacon of simplicity, hence they should absolutely "just work".

I love that you think a human can "just kill" a dolphin on their home turf. And not just any dolphin, a trained dolphin. And I'd love to hear an explanation about how a human just "avoids contact" with a sea-based a

Those don't exist, hence why the OP didn't refer to them. They were referring to something from the actual article.

Funny how the whole article talks about this approach, and then at the end shows the approach failing in the real world. I don't know about you, but I can't conclusively come up with a license plate in that final video.

What is "super linear" ?? Even more linear than linear? It's OK everyone. You don't have to endlessly add superlatives to your ideas to make them sound more exciting. Just say linear. It's SUPER effective!

Wow, that sounds like such a simple process! It's definitely the "right way"! Never look back at working tech folks. That's today's lesson. If it works, don't just fix it -- remake it, rebrand it, and overcompl

Do you live somewhere that forces you inside of diners several times per year? I'm interested in where that is.

In case you missed it, the claim has nothing to do with choice -- it has to do with making a blanket, absolute statement for one thing and a more nuanced statement for another. I guess you're exactly the person these types of statement

This is some top-notch clickbait coupled with some serious fabrication. I have serious doubts this guy dreamt about this, but boy it made a really "gripping" introduction to this breakthrough on productivity! Also, first he's

Have you tried the internet? Why has there been such a proliferation of these Reddit-style obvious questions upvoted? The front page is full of "Ask HN: what can I do about <insert obvious problem>?"

This writing style is very off-putting. How many times is the author going to throw in references to their destroyed home and "hate mail" before getting to the point? I actually vividly remember the first article, as it was riddle

This just seems like willful ignorance and has very little to do with package managers. If you were interested in looking at the code, a quick google search or running `--help` would go pretty far.
