Just so it doesn’t seem that unanimous, I feel always obligated to say that I enjoyed Thimbleweed Park’s ending as well as Return to Monkey Island’s ending. RtMI ending actually grows in me each time I think or read about it. I consider n

This is only an issue if you send commands to a LLM as you were communicating to a human.

What a find! A video posted 10 years ago, 88 views (after you posted here) and a non- descriptive title or description that is about micromouses How did you find it?

I agree. > ” others want to try building things and only once they hit the wall, figure out the background” I am exactly this type as a software developer. I am ok that I won’t be a computer scientist, nor a very senior engineer workin

Not necessarily. Especially the notations are certainly not a necessary step towards the student playing. Playing for them, sure. But you can play once and invite them to play. Not keeping showing until you think they learned.

That is common in several occupations. It is worth asking yourself an important question when you are deciding to become something that you are not. “Do you want to write or to be a writer?” , ”Do you want to develop software or be a soft

I think inviting the person to play is much more engaging than just showing them you playing. Showing the music notation to the student = tell Playing the music to the student = show Letting the student play the music = engage Makes sense t

We have that habit in the small company I work too, and it’s great. It does not scale indeed, and it only works if, outside of those, you only have very few meetings, but I enjoy having this more humane and organic connection with my cowork

I think it was there to show she is a teacher, rather than a scientist. The legend says so. The image itself is of a very typical teacher. It didn’t bother me in any form. It not even looked as “high-brow” to me (a serious picture of her lo

From my understanding, a panic was the result of more than a hundred people being violently killed by an animal. Not by “the media”. There is not one mention of werewolf in how it describes the happenings of the time, only when talking abou

I am a web dev and I think I’ll stay relevant to earn a decent living as a web dev until I retire (it’s hard to predict 20 years ahead, but definitely the next 5-10 years at least). It seems the author just want to change their career, not

Yep. Obviously they have a product. Millions and millions of people that are not software engineers or any very tech-savvy persona use their product. And a lot of those people pay for it. It’s just silly to say they don’t really have a prod

Nothing like pyramid scheme because what sustain the “scheme” overall is public interest, generate experiences that people pay money for and companies are willing to sponsor. It’s not the new young players that input all the money in the in

That’s what was in the author’s mind as well. He added a footnote: ” Worth noting that these comics fell within/adjacent to the Franco-Belgian comic tradition (Bande dessinée or BD for short), which have a very different reputation fr

No. Tinder and similar actually make dates happen, a lot. There are even a few niche ones where only the women can start a “match”.

I disagree with your three points. > *”because they immediately get a ride close-by” That’s is unsubstantiated utopia (from you POV). People do not have uniformly distributed locations for starting and ending routes. There are concentrat

Great job! I enjoyed going through the steps. The final though seemed like a huge leap for me, who don’t know anything about those math mysteries (which I assume is your target audience). First I was curious to learn how is the fast way to

Hey, I mentioned you in my comment elsewhere on this post. Checked your recent comments and found you here. You were right in 2019, despite being downvoted. Good call. Congrats https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19774532

I wonder if Paul Graham regrets investing in and defending Austen for such a long time. I only made a comment long time ago that Lambda School sounded like a good idea to me and I regret how fool I was. Edit: btw, bitwise, you were right in

I voted “overhyped” because some people are out there saying it is more important than the fire or whatever. These people are out of their mind (or just performing PR stunts). But I don’t think it’s a bubble. Not in terms of value — I think

“Filler” is very subjective. A very long chapter going on a tangential introspective mourning thoughts may be viewed by some, as it “doesn’t move the plot forward”, but it can be the most pungent point of emotional connection in the entire

What differs a short story from a novel is definitely not “economy words and filler content”. The two are very different narratives, structure and concepts. You don’t usually start writing a novel and realize it’s a short story or vice vers

I always understood the promise of Triplebyte was ”do the first steps of a hiring process with us and skip them for your next dozens of job applications (that are through Triplebyte, obviously)” Did they never deliver on that promise?
