The craziest part of the justice system is how dependent on money it is. I am in a weekly support group for people with the same offense category as me, sometimes crimes not as bad as mine. Most of the members in this group are working clas

What surprises be about reddit is that they get advertisers and ads while having one of the largest porn communities. No one talks about this, and people are quick to say "Tumblr/4chan is just porn!", but not only is there a

Salespeople aren't selling to you or me. They're selling to other companies.

The author probably got bored and since no one used it he pulled it down. Most people will just stick the popular libraries even if they suck, so small ones die with the authors interest.

Move to backend or another domain entirely like smart developers do.

I know it's dumb but for some reason the large amounts of Rails people moving to Elixir bother me. I don't want the language to be synonymous with web devs :/

you can't seriously believe indias rape problem is "normal" or that it's not an issue compared to other countries. It's an order of magnitude worse.

I've been reading the "primary" sources for stoicism, so Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, etc. the book the other commenter recommended is a good start and overview though.

Nothing wrong with being bored. Try just sitting there and think about things rather than pull out your phone as soon as real life is boring. Your attention span will thank you.

It's different when society and people expect you to have a mobile phone. It's not weird to not have one in 1975 because no one else did.

In my limited experience the people around my age (22) who hate modern computing are usually social outcasts that hang around in 4chan's technology board or similar forums.

Programming is boring after five years of CRUD/"business"/"enterprise" apps. Unfortunately they make up the majority of the jobs out there but making the effort to get a more interesting job is worth it.

We're gonna need a culture shift away from "higher education" being the only option for middle class kids. Go to any middle/upper middle class suburb and tell parents their kid doesn't need to go to college and you&

Not only do people do this to do proper work, but the major companies people look up to do and want to work at or emulate do. Hence the problem.

Webpack is weird in that it's lumped with task runners/"Make"-like programs but it actually it's a configurable and hackable version of the browser asset pipeline.

LeetCode also doesn't force you to read from STDIN :-) I find LeetCode fun and straight forward.

I wonder what % of HN would be unemployed if companies moved away from crazy complex SPAs. Surely how crazy they get is a reason why many here have jobs.

What's the author's credibility? I know it's free, but why should I give my time to read this compared to other resources? I don't know how to say it without sounding like a dick, but the amount of long "learn web d

esports are only popular on the internet and your colleges' video game club. While they're no doubt getting bigger, they're a tiny niche and most regular people still think they're weird. Also they seem more popular in E

Not sure what you mean? I really hate the new Macbooks but I do like macOS and I'm quite productive and happy with it. Aside from a Hackintosh my only choice is a maxed out 2015 one that should last me about five years, if not more, wi
