The army’s field manual for writing. It’s quite good and I find myself referring to it even now, after my military career.

I imagine it might be more useful for content creation than others. Then again, maybe not. I was forced to remove several buttons from the touch bar, because when I go to type numbers I will occasionally brush the bar with my fingertips, in

Brief notes: His self introduction is interesting of itself considering how different he is from other ministers around the world ( at least I think so ). The main topic is how Taiwan has overcome the mask shortage and how they distribute t

I wish opening a business was easier in the states. You want an office location or want to sell something? You have to rent a commercial place. You can’t operate out your front door. Meanwhile, in Asia, many cafes and bars and other types o

I’ve honestly thought about applying. I’m veteran and do miss that sort of community and overall feeling of contributing to my extended family to keep them safe. I live overseas now though, so not sure how that process would go lol

Yeah during my eight years, hazing was mostly phased out by then. Some traditions still exist, but they’re quite heavily controlled. Either way, some things do happen occasionally, and this is something most people shrug off. That’s the oth

Without reading the article, I can say yes, yes we are. There are very few exceptions to this depending on your career and mindset. I can say that I enjoyed life a lot during my 8 years in the military, and it had nothing to do with the job

At this point I'd argue it's better to shop at alibaba or aliexpress. Sure it might come from China, and sure it might be fake or broken, or a scam, but at least you _know_ you might get screwed.

National level works, as proven by other countries (Hong Kong, Korea, and most notably, Taiwan.)

I largely agree with you here, and this entire thread has been an interesting read for me. I’m actually writing what is turning out to be a research paper ( it started as a blog post ) about software development today. What the OP is lookin
226.
by torgian 7y ago
Agreed. The only place where software that the OP wants to create can reside is in the hobbyist community or free, open source community. In the real world this isn’t cost effective or viable. Just takes too long.

Good comment here.

Ok, then the _majority_ seems to be bloated. And I feel like this is the new normal. HN, in my opinion, is an island of simplicity in a sea of complexity.

I gotta agree here. UX seemed so simple just ten- twenty years ago... and still I wonder how the hell people programmed 16 bit video games in a tiny system. And everything on the web front is so bloated. Yes, I can make a pretty UX with tha

Maybe Linked In was bad for me, or maybe I was using it incorrectly but... I deleted my account. I don't know if I'd ever make another one or not. I'm a self-taught developer with three years of experience, two in a single co

Cool to see a mobile Ryzen chip performing well, but there was nothing mentioned about thermals in all their tests. That’s more concerning to me in a lighter laptop than the “muscle-books”

Agreed. It’s a great story. I remember when the movie was coming out, that the fact that Orson is a bigot came out. Changed my opinion about the man, but the books he wrote ar e still good.

I’ve always stayed at Airbnb’s for my short term stays, simply because they were cheaper than hotels. Hotels cost so much for a place that doesn’t even have a hot plate.

Having read some of the comments here, I want to say that I think I fall in the "cynical" portion of the population. Then again, my family is Russian, and we all typically think we're all gonna be screwed somehow. The most op

Agreed. Chiropractors are not helpful; better to go to an actual hospital and get a real expert for back problems.

This looks like a backwards solution to a modern problem.

Morbid curiosity led me to reading comments in this thread, and now I don’t want to eat lunch. You’ve been warned, dear reader!
