Indeed, we worked hard as an industry to move beyond "blame the author" to "blame the process/team". Unfortunately this article is just bait, may as well say "People seem to think dinner is about eating food, b

There are many people who have the diagnosis and don’t agree with the mainstream perspective on medication etc. Don’t claim to speak everyone.

Exactly! My point was that despite the precision of calories we should really think of them as ballpark estimates .

One of the biggest gaps is that people don't understand that food labels are allowed by the FDA to be off by up to 20% in terms of the number of actual calories! In the real world you need to calibrate your behavior with the results. A

It’s a great article on something that’s useful, but a bit overconfident in its universality. Better at what? There are many dimensions to being a guitar player. Is it technique? Theory? Ability to pickup a song by ear (this article)? Bette

They say an ideal container system would download portions of layers on demand, however is seems far from ideal for many production workloads. What if your service starts, works fine for an hour, then needs to read one file that is only ava

I mean this idea of defiance is absurd. People here are 99.9% exercising their constitutional rights. The majority of crimes happening at this moment are ICE infringing on people’s constitutional rights. I appreciate you sharing your perspe

Can you describe at what point someone would “have blood on their hands” in your view? The problem in my mind is that these systems are exclusively in service of dishonesty. ICE is clearly being used to further political ends. If it were ac

I’m here in the ground, I’ve seen them detain people for no cause. Masked agents grabbing guys out of a Home Depot parking lot and throwing them in a van only to drop them off later after scaring them. No charges. Maybe you’ll be lucky enou

For an idea as to how this gets translated into the reality on the ground here in Minneapolis this is an article on what’s going on from the main newspaper in the state. > In the past week alone, ICE boxed in a Woodbury real estate agent

You are misquoting me. I wrote: > to decorate intentionally in the way we do today Most people not so long ago did not have the luxury of saying “that shirt is so last last year” , or “that living room set is a relic of the 90s!”. Of cou

Maybe, but really consumerism wasn’t a thing for most of history because almost no one had the money to decorate intentionally in the way we do today. The very wealthy did to varying extents. When we look at the past we always imagine ourse

The HN SQLite worship posts have gotten out of hand. What’s next a post on how appending to files is faster than Kafka? It’s great that some people have workloads that this is a fit for. What’s more common is the use case managed databases

One other challenge is for existing homes a water heater may only have a gas line running to it. Want a heat pump hot water heater? Hiring the electrician alone, not to mention potentially ripping up walls will ruin any economic advantage.

It’s a fun trip down memory lane, but the real story today, the sadder story, is that there is no longer any use for simple little programs like this that scratch an itch. They’ve all been solved 100x over by founders who’ve been funded on

I can’t tell you how many professors I’ve had this exact conversation with. It’s also clear that kids whose parents restrict phone use seem to have superpowers compared to those that don’t. A good starting point would be fully banning all p

That’s natural, I think the same way, but in person try to stick with the here and now. Anyone who’s ever been sick with anything knows that other people often probe with questions and advice that is often unwanted and takes the focus off t

Whether we want that to be true or not it is. If every school were to close the immediate emergency would be that people would have no one to watch their kids.

One challenge with the term over-engineering is that it implies that the over-engineered solution would be generally superior to the under-engineered one were it not for the extra cost. The article rightly points out that this is not true,

What? Stadia worked great (I say this as a user). What didn’t work was the business model, the lack of games, and the lack of trust in google to invest to fix those other things. It worked flawlessly for me for years over Wi-Fi. GeForce now
