This is fairly obtuse longform writing with no obvious message. What is the intention of sharing this?

I was indeed entertained with your imperative instructions to move the file, which is also slightly more annoying if your file is not at the top level!

There is no objective evidence that Vim makes you a more productive programmer. There is no evidence that avoiding a mouse makes you a more productive programmer. Use the editor you want! Vim is faster at some things and slower at some thin

Ruby has a lot going for it, but as other commenters point out, the metaprogramming nightmares of the language have held it back 10-30 years behind modern language ecosystems, depending on the feature you're looking at. Celebrating &qu

There is high corruption at every level of healthcare, from ambulance companies to prosthetists to local doctors to hospitals to pharmacies to insurance to government. $99/month is pure corruption, and they get away with it because ins

Uhh I don’t think it does. Japanese websites have notoriously terrible accessibility and UX.

What does it mean when you're often wrong and blast public thinkpieces about your wrong opinions? I think there's an uncomparable difference between between being wrong in your thoughts, vs openly lecturing others about what you&#

Paul Graham has been getting a lot of criticism recently, both from this obviously bad take and because of his praise for the fraud-ridden Lambda School and Paul's hero worship of Austen. I personally appreciate the reality check that

I find merges more confusing than rebasing. At the end of rebasing you just have commits. Merges are commits with multiple parents, which is a confusing concept.

Nutritional ketosis entered the public eye with Atkins. The research on the use of ketosis for cognitive health is still young.

Looks interesting! There is always a tension between high level paradigms like this and just writing the damn GLSL. glslify is another solution in this space that lets you have more fine control over the GLSL, which is usually way less verb

Whoever at Google thought this was a good idea should no longer be involved in search! Reddit is a terrible source of information, it's all confirmation bias and unqualified people giving advice upvoted by unqualified people to vet it.

Unfortunately, listening to Dennett debate Sam Harris on free will made me lose faith in Dennett’s credibility. He was not able to understand the very clear argument of why we don’t have free will. Hearing him literally being unable to unde

Google’s AI results show “According to a Reddit user…” now, including for things like health / wellness searches. It’s horrifying. Reddit is a cesspool of the commons. It’s an information garbage dump where uninformed people are upvote

Yes, everyone hates bicyclists, including other bicyclists. Loud motorcycles are the the only thing hated more.

In the hierarchy of road hatred, loud motorcycles are by far the most hated by all others (cars, pedestrians, cyclists, etc). Happy to hear there's no science/safety reason to encourage loud motorcycles.

No need for hot water, cold water bidets are fine and common. It's legitimately disgusting that bidets aren't common America. Such unsanity bathroom practices.

What is the source post of this? Is this chart really showing 0.1 millimeters of vitreous chamber depth change over 4 years? That almost sounds irrelevant, so maybe I'm missing something.

Great. I would love to be proven wrong. My partial blindness from myopia related diseases will likely progress to full blindness as I age. I would love to be shown my worldview is wrong. For example, I didn't know anything about relati

Your eye's axial elongation is caused by the eye growing longer, which means *more cells in the eye.* Your eye grows in response to visual stimulus, without the brain's involvement. Your eye shape physically changes by *extra cell

Sorry, but I know EndMopia believers don't know what the choroid is. Science knowledge is terrible in this space. An arbitrary "correction" of two diopters is within the margin of error of the possibility of initial overcorre

Btw the Chrome plugin could use an on/off option in the context menu to help with quick comparisons.

What mechanism causes TMP activation / ECM breakdown to cause eye reshaping required to reverse axial elongation? There are no known mechanisms of this, so any claim of reversing or "ending" myopia don't have any basis.

by stevebmark 3y ago
ReducedLens is absolute quackery! This is why I hate myopia discussions. Myopia is not reversible, if you think it is, you don't understand what axial elongation actually means.

Wow, this is the first Hacker News post I've seen where someone actually understands myopia, emmetropization, and peripheral defocus. Every other post on myopia is filled with people guessing their own random nonsense about Bates, wear
