It's not just cyclists. A year ago I saw a middle-aged couple both go up onto the hood of a Prius that was rounding a right turn without looking. I think they were both fine. If it was an SUV they'd have been knocked forward so ha

HackerNews is still better than just about every site out there with this high of a profile. Once the bad faith trolls take up residence, discourse goes into the toilet. At least 99% of HN posters are earnestly trying to make a point they b

Without looking up the actual terminology and cycle times for the two shorter calendars (which I don't remember anymore either), I think this is correct.

The problem is I don't need any of this stuff and I know a ton of people who feel the same way. If FB's timeline had a chronological option like twitter, I would switch to it tomorrow, then mute people who bugged me. Every algor

Here's ChatGPT confidently spewing a ton of very very wrong stuff about the Mesoamerican calendar: > Is the 1-earthquake inscription on monument 3 at San Jose Magote is the oldest known instance of a Mesoamerican calendar date? >

Thanks, all this time I thought they were obvious propeller scars.

I took some pictures of dolphins on the way to the Channel Islands and was surprised how many obvious propeller scars they had. Given how much they seemed to love playing all around the boat, I guess it makes sense. https://www.f

The same arguments were made 100 years ago that the Irish, Italians and Chinese would never assimilate in the US. I was in Paris recently and saw multiple groups of young people of mixed races hanging out as friends. I asked around and conf

Taken to the extreme - I used to multi-table online poker for a living. 5 hours pretty much turns your brain to mush. 8 hours straight is unthinkable. Pretty much everyone experiences this, even 18-year-olds. The brain has its limits.

Now do this story - but some person flying a Kitty Hawk replica 30 feet off the ground chimes in after the Cessna person.

If I was rich I would still make sure my kids worked at least one blue collar job in their teens. There's no substitute for first-hand experience in that world.

I wonder if at some point all reputable entities will adopt some kind of "AI Generated" badge to go on any content, image, video, etc. that's AI Generated. Obviously there will still be fakes. But if anyone who puts out those

I've been in situations like this author describes, and I've been in 60-80 hour/week crunch times that lasted up to a year and a half. I miss the crunch times. But one constant is that it takes a while to get plugged in at bi

I've been on 4 different brands of generic Ritalin. I'm sure I can tell them apart by taking one. 1. Normal (the first one - don't remember the manufacturer - was extremely hard to break in half) 2. Actavis - strong, but slow

This thread is a great resource on specific laws that are being passed behind all the rhetoric, and the devastating effects they will have on real people. https://twitter.com/BrynnTannehill/status/16331139671858708

What other occupation are you going to pick that you can a) get hired fairly easily right out of college, and b) make $150k+ in a few years with only an undergraduate degree?

Humans aren't the only animals that dream. It seems, like sleep, to be some kind of essential function and not just an accidental side trip.

I'd settle for an answer to "Is this thing going to cost in the ballpark of $500, $5000, $50,000, more?" - which is still impossible for the hospital to answer w/o lifting heaven and earth.

Way more often than not it seems like the first few answers are either wrong, overly complicated, or advanced RTFM posts with massive upvotes. Meanwhile the 3rd or 4th answer with modest upvotes is actually the succinct correct answer.

On small fixes, it comes in handy to be able to separately deploy front end code, API Gateway code, or different back end lambda groups. But other times, like big feature additions, most of the repos have new changes, and I need to push an

It would be the same result. A human still has to wait for the lib builds to finish and then take action. This way there are two fully automated steps, with one human wait step in between them.

It's a script run by a human when they want to push the changes in one environment to another. Our various apps consist of 3-10 repos. All the apps are backed by two shared lib repos (one for node lambdas, and one for C# lambdas). Merg
