I paused a bunch of times and I forget the details, but I remember everything always looking good, especially his brainstorming about the site and making notes about pgp and onion services and the like. I also loved them knowing Lenny wrote

Every post I see from young people trying to get tech jobs is about applying to 500 places to get one interview. It’s a lie.

Hmm, I wonder why the title of the article doesn’t say the lawsuit was dismissed or why.

I don’t have any problem with my name, and it feels manipulative and overfamiliar and I assume someone’s trying to Carnegie me into something if they use it. Doc Rivers is an awesome name though.

This seems very cool. Was going to suggest submitting it, but I see there was a fairly popular thread 5 months ago for anyone interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45492803

Just moving my jaw doesn’t affect mine, but moving it to the side and flexing whatever muscles involved in that motion are definitely makes mine louder, just for a second. I’ve always wondered if that implied there must theoretically be a w

A plumber working on my pipes is upset, his wages are suppressed by competition from illegals getting paid under the table, while his rent has skyrocketed, and his taxes are paying for his illegal competitors food and rent and healthcare.

Doing their own rendering is one of the most attractive things about it imo. I am on macos though.

I thought it was supposed to solve the problem of being kicked out of the banking system if you offend the wrong people?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is something to it, but I suspected they didn't use legitimate coin flips (because it seems like a large amount of people can't really flip a coin), and looking at the videos confirms it, at l

Have you seen this? ``` You will be given a name of an object (such as Car, Chair, Elephant) and a letter in the alphabet. Your goal is to first produce a 1-line description of how that object can be combined with the letter in an image (fo

My friend showed me a cool series of photography books he'd backed on Kickstarter called Vanishing Asia. Only after we'd finished flipping through them did I realize they were by Kevin Kelly. I just looked up the campaign ( http

I agree, and people should probably ignore advice from people who haven't reached it, unless they'd be content with being b2, which is a lower level than I think people realize.

Anyone who learns enough vocabulary to be something resembling fluent (say, can comfortably watch tv shows or read books in that language), will be good at grammar far before they learn the 10k+ words they need to know. You can't cons

I feel like I once heard of Jay Rubin say something like, if you don't know japanese, you've never read a word of Murakami, you've read Rubin. I suppose it's obvious but it did make me stop and think about how distant j

This post is making me wonder if I did something wrong, but I hated the low resolution in the quest 2 for programming when I tried it.

I just always use let because it looks better. Const provides pretty much no value in js anyway.

I do think going through a basic textbook is important but imo they shouldn't be a part of your plan once you get through one or two. I learned all the rules of spanish grammar more or less in a few semesters in college, but it's

I guess you could frame being unwilling to go outside and/or exercise as a chronic illnesses in and of themselves, but otherwise I don't see how anyone would consider this plausible.

I suspect you learn less by doing nothing. This kind of advice is probably good for normal people, but the people who need it least seem to be the ones most paralyzed by it.

Scrape the doc sites with httrack or something. Don't turn the internet on unless you actually hit that library problem, I think it's generally pretty clear when a significant problem has already been solved. Or move on and solv

Are you offended the idea of a master key or say, mastering C++? Remastered albums?

Something I've seen Jonathan Blow do that I like is tag things // @Speed when doing a quick to type but slow to run kind of first pass. It seems nice to have tags for places to jump where the improvements are obvious, rather

I used to be a Haskell type and now enjoy Go greatly for this reason. There was a thread on the Rust reddit where someone was asking how to do something relatively simple using some elaborate combination of map/reduce/filter/

It makes me think of signing inescapable contracts with demons, which seem convenient but ultimately doom you for eternity.

I don't know what you people get out of pretending you can't derive much from being told what language something is written in.
