Constant scrolling through Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. The content is pretty much endless. Lots of people, given any moment of downtime, pull out their phones, scroll, scroll, scroll, open an article, skim it, go back, scroll, scroll

And people can also _not_ want to use social media for their own personal reasons. That doesn't make them holier-than-thou, or a hipster, or condescending just because they make the less popular choice.

Do you feel like your "new" schedule is more beneficial than it was before?

That last sentence is an interesting point. The reason I stumbled onto this plan in the first place, is that I've had years of digestive discomfort, and realized that my system seems to handle starchy foods better. So I did some resear

Right. My limited understanding of this--and keep in mind I'm just regurgitating what I've read from those who support this way of eating--is that novo lipogenesis is a very inefficient process, and that you'd have to overeat

Thanks for the helpful breakdown. I might have to give the blood sugar monitoring a shot. Just curious, in what way were you thinking it would be dangerous? I'm trying to find some good scholarly research articles, but I'm not sur

Totally, I actually had a physical scheduled for last week, before realizing I scheduled it for a date I was going to be out of town. So unfortunately I had to reschedule for August. But anyway, there is a decent amount of people who are fo

I've been trying the opposite lately -- a high carb diet. I've mostly been modeling my eating style after Dr. McDougall's "Starch Solution" plan. He basically believes that humans are designed to eat starchy foods (

I'm not sure I agree with this. Do you think an otherwise good person/employee with a newfound ability to work remote would become an asshole and abuse the privilege? Seems like they'd probably be an asshole to begin with. Al

The difficult scenario is if you really enjoy your job. I work at a company that I have almost nothing to complain about... flexible, great benefits, no micromanagement, challenging and stimulating work. However, I do feel that I am slightl

> Closures in JS are basically objects that have only one public property (called apply). Never heard it explained this way. Can you elaborate a bit? I'm not sure I follow. Couldn't a closure have any of the same properties tha

This is absolute garbage. How can you state that users of a language are unsophisticated? You can make the argument that certain languages ALLOW you to be an unsophisticated developer, have lower barriers to entry, or give you enough rope t

What style of programming do you typically subscribe to? What empirical evidence led you to that style?

Lol, if that is the case, it seems strange to make such a polarizing decision about the horizontal rules. You will definitely turn away more readers that find them annoying than you will gain readers who are like "the article content i

Just because you don't think someone should be fired without "overwhelming evidence" (California is at-will, of course you can fire someone for being a massive jackass that makes/made sexist comments), doesn't mean

It is definitely not mandatory for big companies. Although depending on the specific hiring manager, some might be more skeptical of your experience if you don't have a degree in CS, but that is true at any company. Not saying it isn&#

Well, that is literally exactly what is happening. Recruiters generally don't contact you about a position/company unless they have a requisition (request from the company to fill an open position) with that company, which also re

I'm a vim user as well, and I'm actually shocked at how many users apparently still use the ESC key. I actually didn't know any regular vim users did that, because to me, it seems super inefficient. I don't say that as a

Have you tried coffitivity.com? Lol every time I tell people I use this, they look at me sideways. I discovered it a few years ago, and still use it just about everyday. It's basically just ambient noises from a coffee shop, and you ca

Why can't it just be a friendly "looking out for others" type of thing? I definitely feel like there is a sense of camaraderie in the online communities that I frequent. I just took it as a tip to fellow HackerNews readers an

I read and loved Fight Club, loved the movie, and love Mr Robot. Sam Esmail (Mr Robot creator) even says in interviews that Fight Club is his favorite movie, and certain threads, characters, etc are an homage to that. I mean, he even plays
