I love it! This is so fun. You picked a non-ideal time to post HN. I recommend posting it again on the weekend, so it gets the visibility it deserves.

I'm so grateful to be a freelancer when I read stuff like this. Upwork has plenty to complain about but at least they don't dictate where I can live and work.

I'm a massive fan of epunk and I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it without looking crazy lol. Cyborg9k is my idol but I also love osquinn (which I guess is more hyperpop)

This is a perilous line of thinking! Let's try it with race - "Black homicide rates are seven to eight times those of whites". And yet, here in Latin America, there are posters in every major city decrying the crisis of &quot

You live in a bubble. America also doesn't have a gun violence problem if you live in Montana. Lots of us don't live in Montana, unfortunately.

Labor stats are not as good as they're advertised, and these jobs aren't as bad as we're told. Both sides exaggerate (while still being kinda true)

I've done all of that except the butchery part (because that wouldn't make sense). She is homeschooled, and working with me on software projects is part of her homeschooling. Sometimes if the project is fun it could take all eveni

I read a bunch of your comments and you seem like a very erudite person. Is there a way I can contact you?

>Now adults have to compete with children?? Yes and no. Most children share homes with adults. I went on calls with my dad (he's a plumber) since I was 7 and helped him more and more as I became adolescent. Similarly, my current dau

Exactly what it sounds like, me trying to do basic tasks without Googling. It was fun and interesting for me, maybe it will be for you. Really I'm curious how bad I really did, so any corrections for things I did poorly are very apprec

The thing you said and the thing I said are both true imo. >Search right now for any insulting, racist, negationist trope and you'll find tons of tweets. Sounds like the hostile community I'm describing, which turns a lot of pe

I'm also annoyed that I can't sort for oldest videos. I remember being a 10-year old and reading these kinds of threads on the Neopets forums everytime a UI change happened. Back then, everyone would promise to switch to a compe

I know it's cliche to say here on HN - but this kind of comment is why I love this site. Silly, unexpected ways to use technology are so satisfying to me.

Kind of a fun barely-related historical script kiddie note, but due to the way the jpeg and zip file formats work, you can store both in the same file, then just change the file extension from one to the other and it will work correctly. Th

I was using PayPal for this and got shut down, they never gave me a reason. I assume I just seemed too "suspicious" by some vague algorithmic standard.

Honestly, I've always preferred other Lisps (specifically Racket and Clojure). But among desserts, flan has a special place in my heart. I don't let myself indulge these days but thanks to the delectable drawing in this article, I

Thanks for understanding. Security engineering is growing so complex. I don't know how major corps on the scale of Boeing ever achieve compliance. And even then, they have a whole market of different compliance standards to comply with
