Well. 1. You severely undervalue yourself. 2. You are abused at work: overworked and underpaid. 3. Rock-star programmers and ninjas are bullshit "titles" meant to shine some lights on successful introverts to attract some other in

Also, it is a good opportunity to remind that the Monty Hall Problem was mentioned in a Brooklyn 99 episode, in case someone missed on Brooklyn 99. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6026160/movieconnections

As a manager, I’d just think you’re being provocative and short-sighted. As an IC, I’d think you’re big-mouthed, in a bad way. In any case, even if you were right, I’d be the kind of colleague you’d have to work your way up to retrieve trus

sarcastically: because it works. Less sarcastically: because it does too much, in ways that sometimes are impractical (networkd comes to mind). Expect better answers by more knowledgeable people. Personally, I like it. But I’m a simple pers

I will always remember my discovery of Paul Erdös at my university. The lecturer was a true admirer and passed the n their passion to the class. Every mention of him is now a fond memory of these times. So thanks for yet another memory trig

The author seems well aware of that and wrote than all of this is only truly actionable if/when you're at a director-like level, and you can handle expectations from below and above.

Helping teenagers and adults alike to read an explicit mention of image manipulation can certainly remove some self-criticism that many Instagram consumers impose to themselves.

You could have started on a consensual definition of "unfiltered photography" with OP and share some valid ideas to fuel the conversation instead.

I use Nest as my TS backend framework of choice. It just works great, covers just every use case I throw at it (business apps or side projects), has the right balance of versatility and openness, and doesn't try to do more than backend

I am very happy to see more people realise that "everyone can achieve greatness" is incomplete and thus wrong. The sentence ends with "...but not everyone is born equal and some will even meet insurmountable barriers". T

Can someone here help me find a proper use case for this? I mean, one beyond "I want to do everything in CSS and I don't care if I waste bandwidth and energy resources, let's crop this image a million times in every browser j

Thanks a lot for the appreciation! Some exceptions apply, as you point out. One thing is that I cannot escape major events, no matter what I do (I live in a capital). And I see it very positively. For such events, and other exceptions, live

FWIW, I'm not objecting HN or forums are not social media. Rather that nowadays, social media have more mechanics that are typical: * presence of brands * influencers * algorithmic bubble filters * attention hoarding Of course, forums

I was expecting this comment, tbh :) This is true to some extent. Yet the scale and mechanics of HN are (vastly?) different from your typical social media. Also, brands are mostly absent, except for the YC specific posts. In my opinion, HN

I quit social media entirely many years ago: it felt like quitting smoking, just less difficult but the same level of benefits. I also shifted how I get news: I don't read or watch "event-oriented" journalism (aka, reporting)

This book should be read by everyone at least a bit interested into how a debate works. The analytical prowess of Schopenhauer is brilliant and highlights very clearly many of the tactics everyone uses willingly or unwillingly when in need

Here's my rule of thumb: * for new projects, use a well-established, reputable standard * for existing projects, use what is already in place if it is consistent * in case of inconsistency, fix to the closest industry standard

In a team of engineers, find one that complains about the configuration formats or linting rules, and with 100% confidence, you know who will ruin your meetings. Source: empirical study from me Thanks for not being that person.

I read your contribution as "it's good because that's what we have", which I think is a fallacy. What we have can and should be discussed and challenged. Not having a complete, new and better solution, doesn't preve

I don't know about Zeeland, but Italy and Japan (along with Greece) have been demonstrated to have the most balanced dietary habits (read: best) to remain healthy. Maybe it's the sea, maybe it's the food. Why not both?
