   You can't discharge a college loan via bankruptcy. You can certainly default on the same loan, but those are two different things.

   The growth of remote work could ease some of this effect. If your employer's offices are located in SF or Portland but you don't have to live there, it seems counterintuitive for many types of people (esp. families) to pay to play

   If the question were about car batteries or electric blankets, I'd agree with you. But it's not; this is about laptop and mobile batteries, which concerns a huge percentage of HN users. That's also why this thread is so activ

   I'd like to see some supporting info on this. It's not that I don't believe you— what you say sounds plausible enough, it's just that I'd rather understand why this is so.

    I still have a Macbook running 10.6.8 (SL) and indeed, it's rock solid. Never crashes. Never an issue with wifi, either. It's a workhorse. I've replaced the battery a few times but I'm glad I've never upgraded the O

    I agree with this comment and there's a lot of truth to this observation, except for one tiny nitpick: "buddy, you're out of market." That depends on many factors, though...primarily the employer and what kind of work is

    You're right; Pike and Thompson are huge outliers. If there is going to be a case made that age discrimination doesn't exist at companies where there have been class-action lawsuits, it's not particularly compelling to point

    It's hard to say without a study, but my personal opinion is that it doesn't make much difference at all in terms of getting the work done. It's only a title. What is the difference between "software engineer" and &

    To your question: you're extrapolating hiring practices in the USA to all companies. In the States and the UK there is no licensure for professional software engineers (with a few exceptions like Texas and Florida). So in many US compa

    I don't think he meant that the "I am not a writer" part was BS (obviously Zed is a writer; the OP is a link to his book), but rather that this is posturing instead of an argument.

    I welcome this, though. Too often the importance of good sysadmin and good ops gets lost among other topics like language advocacy, product announcements, VC rounds, bug bounty humblebrags, or <insert stereotypical HN subject matter here
