i would pay so much money to never hear another one of the trite reddit retorts around russian bots as soon as someone hears something they disagree with

great hit of nostalgia. i'm reminded of going to the library in NYC in the early 2000s to get on a computer to play rollerboy with about a dozen other kids doing the same thing

unless you have two enormous networks where one happens to be libertarian/right leaning and the other is mostly very left. both have huge audiences and can likely thrive just fine on their own. i don't particularly think it's

do you do this outside of work hours? sounds more like a failure on how the company operates than the nature of the problem. taking a wild guess that if it weren't for combing through through applications, then those extra hours spent

yeah, but at worst, you waste time on the dime of a company from the recruiter's/hiring manager's POV. on the other side, you're wasting precious capital (time & money) from someone who may instead be hanging out wit

i wonder how many of these innovative early projects will eventually be a forcing function for FAANG to shed engineers that want to stay on top of the latest stuff. but then again, golden handcuffs are real so maybe not

this book messed me up in the midst of reading it (i guess in a good way?). I've never had anything resembling a panic attack and i had to put it down and get up from the cafe that I was in and go for a walk. It really "incepted&q

"The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reported there has been a 620% increase in pharmacy burglaries over the last two years across the state." The state being, in the article, NY. They just happen to mention Arkansas in a re

You've mentioned that according to your anecdotal evidence, there is very little brazen theft in pharmacies just because you happen to live in NYC. I showed you the DEA stating how theft has exploded. Addiction problems across the nati

lol. the sky high addiction rates across the nation are definitely NOT what's causing burglaries to resell the stuff on the street. in fact, it's the pharmacists! it's the employees! thank god that facts don't care about

by volkk 2y ago
you write this as if there's some evil force doing this, which is a nice story. realistically it's because safety is actually, a large concern. pharmacies get robbed often

i actually wonder what the statistics look like across the entire country of whether people actually like cars vs its the only way to get around. HN is a bubble including most of city folk. Most people I know love their cars, including myse

i would guess one effects the other in a negative (positive?) feedback loop. access to your phone & 24/7 easy access to social media started to erode communities and now people just rely on their phones because they have zero commu

search for information? -- perplexity is good for this debug -- cursor.sh for coding/debugging with your codebase as context. also just raw inputting into claude is pretty effective.

actually doing some contract work for a competitor that is tackling job searching/candidate searching from a referral/recruiting perspective and i am very optimistic. i think if the execution goes well, it's going to be huge.

i do understand its a generalization, but it's not just Blind. Culmination of personal experiences, too. I've worked with a lot of these types of folks. I also highly disagree with this analogy. One is a fictional, creative work o

it's kind of interesting how i have started to look differently at ex-FAANG employees compared to how I used to view them only like 3 years ago. For me, it's less about someone's morals because look, if you're going to g

depends on what you're working on. i'm a senior engineer currently doing a lot of scaffolding for startups and my copilot saves me a ton of time. life's good.

how does this compare to going on a forum and being trolled to eat one? or a blog post incorrectly written (whether in bad spirit or by accident) fwiw, i don't have a strong answer myself for this one, but at some point it seems like w
