This is exactly what I mean. A couple of social policies are the whole world to you: I don't care where trans people go to the bathroom, that's not going to make me vote Hillary and have to live through more wars and…
I understand that this place is 99% liberal and that you went as far as to petition to kick Peter Thiel out because of his trump support, but please realize most Americans agree with trump. That's how you lose to him.…
The same sentiment were made after brexit. Nothing bad happened. The markets didn't crash, society didn't collapse.
I'm so happy and relieved. I can openly laugh now. I can't believe you people (hn, sv and the tech world in general) wanted that criminal Hillary as president just because trump said a few mean things and wants to keep…
So many comments in this thread regurgitating the same drivel, which by the way adds no value to the discussion. A man spends decades of his life working on something, and now you're telling me, after he achieves his…
Then why drop jQuery? "It needn't be part of the default stack any more" doesn't hold up as a reason any more because it's not about whether something's needed or not but whether it's useful. Most sites require jQuery,…
Same logic is used in free market arguments: Workers leaving jobs to go to other companies creates an incentive for employers to improve work environments. In both scenarios the workplaces become better off, but what…

This community often seems to think that something is dead just because people don't use it in SCs or in startups, completely forgetting the average person. By their logic Windows is dead, Oracle is dying etc. the only…

One of the reasons people regain is that they've gone on diets with a calorie intake that is too low (or lacking in protein) and experienced muscle atrophy rather than fat loss. A decrease in muscle mass also decreases…
One of the most insightful studies I've read on dieting is that people trying to lose weight underestimate how many calories are in the food they're eating. It's not surprising once you start logging everything you eat…

I have and it's very insightful. The people in the studies that were least competent were also, relatively, the most delusional of their inadequacies. This principle explains why you get people with little coding…
I had never heard of Chapel and was looking for something along those lines. What's interesting about it that makes it worth taking a look?
I don't know much about watch culture (I have a $10 Casio) but I heard someone say that a $1,000 watch is expensive, but a $30,000 watch is an investment. Not sure if people really pay attention to watches but Google…
Within computer science, I found "Introduction to the Theory of Computation" by Sipser to cover a lot of ground in a concise and comprehensible manner.
That article by Susan kept coming to mind while reading this one. I think that most women that actually work in technology have feelings closer to the ones expressed here than the stuff that a vocal minority spreads all…

Modafinil. Works great (14 hours of focus and productivity). At $5 a pop it's not something I can afford daily. If something cheaper becomes available I'd use it.
I read an argument that if you know you'll never be able to delete your account and posts, you'll be more careful about what you say. I don't think this is something I'd be considering when writing posts. We change as…
Not everyone feels like they're wasting their life because they're indoors when it's sunny.
I just made a post saying I didn't jump to conclusions, it was only after years of training that I even considered the possibility that something was wrong with me. Never browsed /fit/ not sure what you're trying to…
