Scott Adams' revolution was to get users to give him plot lines. He was the first to publish an open way to communicate with him in order to out the corporate crazies, and readers did in droves, explaining the inanity of their workplac

Most HN posts are how to program, mainly focusing on new tools and ideas. But now the tooling is so good and the competition so fierce that the real question now is not how but what to program. For that, it's essential to see things th

Ok, we all understand the ancient problem and its current manifestation. But what can be done? Science is not supposed to be the realm of disinformation, but it seems to have no real defenses. People are being paid to lie, no one is being

First, I wouldn't give up on the work relationships. Even if you damaged them, it's good practice and good karma to try to make amends; people really appreciate others reforming, and they will take you seriously as a person if yo

Java is a great success story. Though, to be fair, James Gosling was the spark but has not been the steward. Even as early as Java 1.1 and 1.2 he was not particularly involved in making runtime, library, or even language decisions, and lat

The article doesn’t give enough attention to the glacial but steady changes in the ownership model that will have great benefit in avoiding copies in value types, Swift’s strength and Achilles heel. I have to say Paul Hudson has almost sing

May I ask why did you decide against starting with (Eclipse) Theia instead of VSCode? It's compatible but has better integration and modularity, and doing so might insulate you a bit from your rather large competitor controlling your d

Key claim: "disruption" is impossible for BigCompany. SmallCo can do it, but only if they both (1) have something technically hard to replicate, and (2) target a marketing niche that is a irremediable blind spot for BigCompany&#x

It's a nice story. Some statistics might help motivate concern. E.g., The disproportionate risk per mile for motorcycling is chilling. But in California "rear end" as a category appears to be only about 15% of all MC accid

Leptospirosis is very rare (~100 cases/year in the UK?) and typically affects other tissues (She's lucky it seems to have only infected one eye), making it more like a unicorn than a zebra diagnostically. Effective antibiotics ar

Strengths are weaknesses insofar as they bias you against building alternative capabilities. This is true on the personal level as well. As for military red teams, a more relevant example might be from Japan in the 1980's: when they d

Not sure why the title left out the essential term: it matters more for learning programming I believe the goal is to encourage those (young people) allergic to math but good in languages to realize they could be good at programming. Tha

People talk about SF because the US is not otherwise producing much change, and people are hoping things will change. But anecdotes and selective stats pique interest without leading to insight. Too bad this is what drives the zeitgeist!

RARα pathway operates in cell development eg of blood cells and in apoptosis, implicated in some cancers. Long-term safety seems doubtful. Offspring could be affected. In a rational world there would be no volunteers for the trials.
