I'm one of four engineers at my company. I don't have the luxury of offloading my job to someone else. Also I really feel like you're projecting attitudes that I (at least didn't mean to) portray. I design the dog food,

I get messages from recruiters based on technologies I haven't used in a decade (Android primarily). It's all generic enough that I assume the people have no specific interest in me, they are just casting a super wide net and may

I'm not even that old, but a pattern I noticed when I've interviewed in the past couple years is that maybe I'm applying for the wrong jobs because my would-be peers ask questions that seem irrelevant and seem confused that I

The reason heat pumps have traditionally been untenable is that they are prone to icing over when below freezing. If the coils are covered in ice, then air can't be blown past them to get new heat to pull in. Further, in many cases, th

I got hit by the comment rate limiter earlier. I agree that downvoting someone on HN is not censorship. What I meant is the biases of the people writing and training the ranking / flagging algorithms bleeds through into the implementat

Every time I think about WWI, it seems like about the most miserable and terrifying war conditions I can imagine. But then when I watch old interviews with WWI veterans they all seem unusually chipper about it. Really kind of confuses me. N

Similarly, glioblastoma (a brain cancer) is still a death sentence. My dad died of it a little over 5 years ago, lasting about a year and a half from initial diagnosis. Maybe a year later, John McCain came down with the same thing. In a wei

Modern news is all propaganda, all the time. Start with the narrative and shoehorn the events until they fit the narrative. Depending on the company, you get a different starting narrative, but the playbook is the same.

The article isn't actually about housing being unaffordable. It says housing is unavailable. They could build more housing, but no one wants to get caught holding the bag if the boom turns to a bust as the world returns more to normal.

The town is having an economic boom because it saw a large influx of remote workers this past year. Those workers require goods and services, which leads to job openings to fill the demand. It may come as a surprise to people in large citie

And that's the real rub of it. I don't know what I don't know, but I also don't know where to get that knowledge, so a reasonable first step is to investigate the people pushing "self-help" methods. From there
