Programming in general honestly. Don't write code if you can avoid it, which loosely translates to "Don't solve problems that don't need solving".

I've responded fairly well to SSRIs, but I think it might be significantly influenced by how bad I had gotten without them. The side-effects I endure are objectively terrible (I hit almost all of the common ones and most of the uncomm

Location is one of the core factors of this article. I'm 3 years into my career and still make less than half the starting rate at BigCorp in SV.

When I developed in PHP, I could never understand why they didn't just reach a compromise that made everyone happy. Like uS_state_nameToAbbreviation() and uSStateAbbr_to_name() I call it camel_Snake.

Anyone who got that message from the film is completely oblivious to its point. A similar movie with a more extreme premise would be American Psycho. No one aspired to kill prostitutes after seeing that film, I have no idea why Wolf of Wa

This post almost entirely reinforces the article. The lefts tendency to treat "undereducated" people like they are children is in no way helpful. > blinkered bourgeois liberals who are also big fans of Austrian economics This

I'd still always take NodeJS over Ruby when I'm stuck on Windows though. Ruby on Windows is a dumpster fire...

It's kinda funny actually. I remember the oft quoted maxim regarding very mature static languages: "It's never the compilers fault". This was obviously a hyperbole, but it held true most of the time. These days, the d

Exactly. You can appreciate aspects of a person and the work they do without deifying them in their entirety. Linus Torvalds and weev (being an extreme example) fall into this category.

This comment is depressingly cynical. This is probably the single best definition of "hacking", as the community often refers to it, that I've seen in a very long time. One guy starts working on something only the biggest c

Not OP but my girlfriend and I are long distance and the 6.0.1 update for Android is causing serious strain on our relationship. I keep sending her taco emojis but all she sees are little boxes with x's in them. If Samsung doesn&#x27

I'm pretty sure it was this. April Zero has hit the front page of HN before.

I'm similar, but instead of a week of not using it, I wait until it upsets me some way. Completely irrational, but that's what I do.

For me, it's bloat. VS is slow as molasses and has a thousand features I don't need nor want. I also miss the multiselect feature from Sublime.

The vapor isn't what you should be worried about. It's called "Cloud Chasing" and most of the hardcore of them have to build their own hardware to get to these insane levels. And sometimes they screw up. This leads to

Seeing shit like this just blows my mind. I struggle to believe the Bay Area is really that out of touch with the rest of the world.

I can't help but think this is more a result of low volume and extremely tight control over their ecosystem rather than an intentionally prioritizing on security.

Very true. But every time I pressed the Windows key to open an application, I was reminded of the horrors that lurked outside of the desktop.

Which makes zero practical sense. Weapons are pretty boring without drugs and sex objects added to the mix. Edit: Never mind. That wasn't the full list. Weapons and Munitions are at the bottom. So a universal ban on fun.

Well that doesn't bode well. I've personally never learned anything from a hangover.

Maybe I'm alone but I personally prefer my screens to be dumb. Do one thing and one thing well applies here. I like being in charge of the computer side of the equation.

Elm looks absolutely fascinating to me, but one of the things that strikes me is odd is the prevalence examples that eschew markup for the canvas. Not a bad thing per se, but definitely a departure from what most JS Frameworks and tool set

That's assuming the tweet is only text. I had used it to quickly bookmark links within tweets, but opening them and saving them to Instapaper honestly works better.

My metric as a tall person is, if I can comfortably rest my scrotum on the top of the urinal, it has no place in an adult setting. Seriously. Every workplace I've been to has had a substantial percentage of urinals that looked like t

I believe the justification was that the browser goes directly to the GPU for those particular style declarations. It's not quite wrong, but it was definitely a stretch.
