That's dangerous as well, because now your language can be analyzed and compared with other writings from you.

There is also an interesting middleground named Evolving Publication where the author publishes section by section, and the RSS feed informs you whenever a new section/chapter is added to the article: https://martinfowler.co

Very good explaination of how to evaluate hash functions! Here are my 2 cents: It would have been nice to get the exact formula by which the diffusion map is computed. Or, to point to another article or Wikipedia entry where this is explain

I agree that the empirical part of economics is hard, but manageable in modern times [1]. However, the real problem is that even the theory has so many flaws, yet it is used as if it was evidence, which is why I think the real problem is 1)

Indeed! This principle enables a civilization to discover all important things they need, on their own, in a reasonable speed. Having said that, I see two areas in science where we have serious issues. 1) In some sciences, strict applicatio

Serious question: What exactly do you mean with "contacting the mods"? Just writing to hn@ycombinator.com, or is there a dedicated way to contact the mods? (BTW, this is yet another instance of the same problem: There's neith

The only issue is that Ctrl+F doesn't work properly on paper, neither within a single newspaper, not across last year's newspapers.

While that "Ask HN" entry got quite a few upvotes, this comment received downvotes. Why is that? Could anyone explain what's wrong with this comment?

But then the same question as with other short URLs appears: Does amzn.com really belong to amazon.com, or is it a third-party service that may redirect you somewhere else at will? The point is, I don't care whether amzn.com really bel

Won't reading a book in candle light hurt your eyes, at least in the long run? How many candles do you use at once to get a healthy illumination for reading?

I wonder if I'm the only one who is annoyed by the continuing lack of transparency at HN, wasting my time and other people's time with guesswork like this. I just took the time to start an "Ask HN" entry on that topic: &

The advice is to explain it with your words, not to dumb it down.

Very nice introduction. I find it especially interesting to see that in graphics design, simplicity is almost as important as in software development - and moreover, for very similar reasons: So it is easier and faster to change, so you can

I wonder why IPFS hasn't been built on top of Bittorrent, so it could reuse some of the existing infrastructure. For example, everybody hosting a file in IPFS could automatically become a BT seeder for that file. And searching on Pirat

Very interesting development. It would be great to see NixOS as an early adopter for IPFS. BTW, there is a small typo: IPFS is aims to create the distributed net. It should be: IPFS aims to create the distributed net.

I'm surprised this article is from 2017. It seems that esr doesn't account for the latest (huge) improvements of Rust during the last year. Given that Rust is younger than Go, ignoring a year's worth of development makes for

Do these issues also occur when you switch between standing and sitting? (I suspect that the real issue is neither sitting nor standing, but monotonicity.)

Alternatively, you can use a standing desk, or switch between a sitting and a standing desk. That way you have an additional litte exercise during the working hours.

That's very fast. How much hardware did you have to throw at this? Also, who pays the servers (since you aren't accepting donations)?
