Yep. Suffered a mini stroke (TIA) a couple times a year since high school. Then it moved to multiple per week. Imagine 2+2 becoming a difficult concept for a week, then you're doing recursive algorithms with the best of them. Had one w

Older programmers are mostly white males. Lots of people don't like to hire those anymore. I hired in at one place, was informed afterwards that it was only because they were so desperate that they hired me despite my demographics. Wa

I spent a couple years at a place where everyone was expected to be a master of everything including Kubernetes, and handle customer support. Absolutely nothing of value was accomplished. By the time a person started to get decent at Kuber

Look at China to see where all this tech is headed. One party rule. Anyone that disagrees with the party is silenced.

Get rid of oil in a rapid fashion, and we go the route of Venezuela. Getting rid of oil is the goal of the current Administration. They are having some success by making it difficult as possible. Now we have a huge mess from it and election

Fully agree. Spent 5 years going on and off Tramadol. If I found myself craving it I would stop for a month. I was basically in bed in pure agony during those weeks off. I've seen others that literally kidnap their own mothers to get

Was being given opioids for chronic pain (nerve pain from autoimmune). but not consistently, so I'd often run out. I was constantly pushing doctors to try alternate treatments so I can deal with actual issue rather then take pain meds.

Large fans? Or if they are spinning, wouldn't air tend to want to stay in place while the ground moves, causing a breeze? Ir maybe the Newtype are people that evolved to thrive in oxygen rich environment. :)

Yep. Moved into a house. Gas line wasn't installed correctly. Nearly killed me and family. Left a couple of us with permanent injuries. We broke lease and moved out. Made it impossible to get into anyplace decent since we had aban

Then all the good developers leave. A series of decent people hire in, get frustrated and quit. After awhile you just have a core group of either incompetent or desperate people hanging on. Management can ignore for a few years. Rebooting t

Initial state is loaded via fixtures or whatever. (slow and expensive) Transaction is started. Run Test 1 Transaction rolled back. (quick) Test 2 can be run without the expensive fixtures. Repeat for all tests.

High gas prices is a "GOAL" of Democrats. They see it as a way to get US off fossil fuel.

Guessing you get all your GOP news from democrat news sources. Listen to Ben Shapiro or other view points for awhile to a better perspective. He has been screaming about inflation for awhile now. Really go out on on a limb and read up on T

I've found HN to be a mixed bag. Mostly liberal, but not always. Biggest thing is to keep your argument well written and reasoned. Unlike reddit where people are in a cult mindset. Anything remotely against the grain will get dozens o
