It’s no different than saying “really”. As in, “I’m really ready to kill myself”. Of course, it doesn’t mean “in reality”. It’s an intensifier, just like “literally”

I don't understand your point. Amazon has no incentive to help the city. What do you mean when you say you trust them with the money. Trust them to help themselves? How does that help the people who don't work at or own Amazon s

If you trust Microsoft at all you don't remember the 90's at all. OTOH I'm happy that MS is doing well recently because competition is good for all of us, but there is nothing more terrifying to me than MS becoming even close

I'm with you on this. I've been living in the US for three years and literally never faced any racism of any sort. I went to vacation in Amsterdam and some shit faced kid decided to harass me cause I'm Indian within two days

Oh man, I've been looking for this article for ages. When the new Bem article came out yesterday I hunted for it again and couldn't find it. Thank you so much!

It's kind of surreal to see this post and this comment here, because that is literally what I did last weekend - adapted that book to Rust! https://github.com/xmonkee/rusttracer

Tesla's entire marketing message is about how they are saving the planet. It's really ironic then how many times I've heard about the terrible working conditions at their factories. One cannot really trust a message about sav

Can I summarize this with: immutable lisp with 2-way bindings to m-expressions? Sorry I don't mean to trivialize or anything, but me and my friends have been thinking of something eerily on these lines. I think it's one of those i

I'm sorry, is this a running joke on HN? The first reply is always some bland, obvious attack on whatever is posted. I mean, the fact that a streaming computer in the cloud is sensitive to network hiccups is so obvious to anyone who se

It's Peter Norvig. He definitely paints murals when he's writing code. If his code doesn't qualify as art then there's hardly anyone on the planet who's can.

This article is fascinating. I had no idea that the Von Neumann machine was an extrapolation of a mental model. Even more fascinating, that the existince of a symbolic computation machine made the possibility of purely symobolic epistimolog

Why does acting like a grown-up literally involve acting like an adult. Suits are basically playing dress-up for adults. And don't even get me started on ties.

How is it a fact? It's your fact, subjective fact. That we both have an agreement doesn't make it objective. You can't prove that there exists no man that will say he doesn't possess awareness. Even if everyone agreed th

The article mentions "jugaad" as the Indian way of doing things inexpensively. It roughly means a "hack", and it really is very fundamental to the Indian engineering brain. I once read a list of interesting words in fore

Someone should write an article about how some Indian writers need to stop eviscerating "millions of indians" based on imagined opinions. This article is downright insulting. I am an Indian, and I don't believe that the &quot
