I feel like landing in water could be just as dangerous, because if you do survive the fall, you then have to make sure you don't drown.

I suppose I just don't see the difference between the two. I guess I could see how one could say slavery existed because of the racist systems and policies, but I just don't think the article needs to make that distinction since t

It's hard to tell if this question comes from a place of genuine curiosity and an overwhelming amount of ignorance, or just trolling.

My dog intentionally turns on my PS4 in the morning. When she turns on the PS4 it automatically turns on the TV and will play the soothing main menu music. We aren't sure if she does it for the music, the light from the TV, or the beep

I had my house broken into once and they just used a crowbar. My neighbor heard them do it, but assumed someone was just doing some work outside. I get why people are hard on smart locks, but I really don't see them as any more insecur

While I get your point about guns in Alaska (I am assuming you mean there aren't mass shootings happening there), I think your overall statement is misguided. Alaska has the highest suicide rate [1] and second highest murder rate per c

Can you elaborate on why you think it's better for the world? I ask from a position of honest ignorance.

My exposure from the word was from listening to The Roots, a rap group from Philadelphia. I was able to use context clues to assume the word was mixed purpose, but didn't get confirmation until I searched for it years after hearing it.

It's incredibly lazy, but unsurprising. I find the people who talk about advertisements so dramatically on HN intersect really nicely with the kind of people whose day is ruined because the free bagels their company provided that day d

After reading articles talking about this, I felt dumb for never noticing it before. There are plenty of articles that talk about it, but this is one of my favorites [1]. The connection to Lana's suicide attempt as a young adult and th

The actual problem with RTS games from a longevity standpoint are actually the same problems fighting games have: 1. It's a 1v1 game, so you either are playing alone, or if you want to play with a friend, you have to fight each other.

I think the problem is that they are trying to create an alternative to pulled pork, but have no idea what to call it. I have a vegetarian in my family and I have made "vegetarian pulled pork", which is using shredded jack fruit a

Considering the export controls on cryptography in the not so distant past [1], I think things have been worse for cryptography. This isn't to say I don't think Barr's comments are alarming, but he is continuing a push by DOJ

Like whatshisface said above, quality self-study is rare. As you point out, people will learn what is fun/interesting, but I will also add that they will just learn what they need to get whatever job done. I have a friend who does webd

I've seen one person do it in my neighborhood (a suburb outside of Chicago) and I believe it's because it was an older dog. I am guessing it either had trouble walking, or because of the heat.

DoTA 2 has been doing this for years now with toxic players. I don't recall reading anything about how effective it ended up being, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. I recently started playing DoTA again after stopping for ab

Hard to tell if your are intentionally or not ignoring the fact that code as a whole serves a specific purpose, and that purpose can itself be very political. Either way, this is an incredibly embarrassing response.

I am interested in hearing other opinions, but I personally do not care about exclusivity. I can download any store front application (Steam, Epic, GoG, Uplay, etc) for free, so the only inconvenience is having another app. Compare this to

I would assume they are leaving a decent chunk on the table. I've never bought something from Ikea online because of how terrible the experience is. I can think of two times when I found something close enough to what I wanted at a com

I think calling the article terrible is a little harsh. It's clearly meant for people just starting with programming, and it utilizes a teaching technique that can be very powerful. It isn't meant to teach you how to do things in

You clearly have zero understanding or empathy for what living in deep poverty actually entails.

I love how the post basically concludes with: "This problem has been known since 1968, which is detailed in this paper written by Ken Thompson". Incredible write up. Really appreciate the detail, and am really impressed by how mat

Outside of self learning and higher education, I cannot see even the best recordings being anything more then supplementary material in education. A good teacher is able to shape a lesson in preparation and during it's delivery to meet

Also helps that the pro controller actually has a d-pad. I get why the joy cons do not have a dedicated d-pad (for when using a single joy con as a controller), but it is terrible when playing certain games, like Mario Maker, in handheld mo

I use to try and push through the slog, but now I determine why I am reading the book and if it's worth continuing. I've stopped reading multiple books this year to go on to something I enjoy more and it's been fantastic. I u
