The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
Upvoting and downvoting especially incentivizes echo chambers. I take it you've never had people follow you around threads and downvote everything you posted? Happens bizarrely often. HN disappoints me more than the…
I did neither. Welcome to HN.
He didn't do it productively, he made it into a rant about political parties; you can't get useful discussion on such a loaded topic like that. That's another part of this...you can't just say whatever you want and…
You seem to be projecting onto me what you think I'm projecting. ;) I didn't call it a stronghold. There are certain subreddits that were aligned. The donald before it moved, conspiracy, conservative, etc. You ever see…

I think that's the real issue in all of this discussion: there is simply no will. It's too hard, it's too impossible, we've decided big tech has already won, we've ceded decades of open progress in tech to moguls who…
>I like weed as a productive drug, it's stronger than caffeine for me, but I develop tolerance and addiction quickly. Any solution to the tolerance problem? Quitting/breaks is obvious. This is not something I've solved…
I don't mean to ask the obvious question, but have you taken them to the doctor? It's very well possible that they literally can't "shut the hell up". You are frustrated, but they need your empathy. If you have not…
...is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, bouts of excessive energy, hyper-fixation, and impulsivity, which are otherwise not appropriate for a person's age.[1][2][3][4] Some individuals with…

We can with a shift towards the Switzerland model, but practically, that's very difficult to do.
See Fareed Zakaria's work on the importance of responsible elites. Or Plato, if you're feeling frisky.
How then shall we perform it?--At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a…
Think through your last two paragraphs. Yeah, people that feel good are probably going to be more productive than those feeling bad (assuming you're not feeling too good). I can't do the stuff you're talking about when…
Ha. I say that because we're going full on reefer madness with stuff like: "uninhibited abuse of THC and other dangerous mind altering drugs"
Jobs always said acid was critical to his success. He dropped a good amount of acid, so that probably really would make you think differently. People can mock it all they want, but I really do get very creative on weed.…
It really is dependent on the person. I figured out at some point during the last decade that the only stimulant that works for me is THC. Caffeine won't do it. It doesn't matter what I do, if I eat healthy get 8 hours…
I was being obtuse: what I was trying to say is there are a lot of GIs and people at home that were damaged. Their kids got the worst of it.
What libraries/frameworks are state of the art?
I think a fair benchmark is https://haskellbook.com/. It's $60 and the absolute most I'll consider and have spent on a book of this nature, outside of botique ancient stuff....and is really well written as well as has a…
It's definitely this. I'm an old millenial which is why I still like TV but you're running into content making fun of this stuff if youre watching HBO, etc. Though, both Hulu and YouTube TV carry these channels and…
I'd imagine a lot of people are like this, and I'd imagine HN is overrepresented by this, but I just really feel emotions. When I'm on and am really into something I get hyperfocus and feel like the world is my oyster,…
You know we're all bullshitting here apparently but my guess is that happened relatively little. The PS3 was too exotic of hardware to get useful compute out of it during the length of time that option was arounnd. I'm…
There are probably dozens of us that really appreciate his clarity and writing and even his overall design goals for C++, but the language is so inherently loaded with historical baggage, that it is only pragmatic to…
