The entire article is based on online group dynamics over people trying to figure out how to come to grips with historically ignored problems. I fail to feel outraged by this process. Is "White Fragility" without criticism? Probab

It depends, I worked briefly for Flex(tronics), and my projects were entirely focused on battery life and size (or at least, the client design requirements were). There's a difference between a customer who plans on selling a billion u

It seems no one has stopped to consider that some people just like poetry, whether it is from an "authenticated" human source, or AI and is close enough to language to engage the brain in a variety of ways. Does it matter?

I'd be interested to see a HN poll to know how many of you roll your own (that is, you're serving all HTTP traffic on the back end of a load balancer), or using a website hosting service. But I don't know which hosting servic

I turned on CC hoping for translation, and it was captioning in Japanese. Lol.

> Am I even a competent developer if I have to use the Internet every five minutes to code? It just means you are slowed down by the need to look things up. Do you consider speed part of competency? The ability to look everything up on t

There are many centuries of engineering behind this. I went to the Museum of Horology in Austria. It has examples of the first mechanical clocks, up to today's timepieces. It is fascinating looking at the giant, wrought-iron town clock

Another excellent catch. I'm obviously a white dude and I was addressing white dude issues: college radio was largely white punk bands; and rap and hip hop was being marginalized until it exploded in the mid-80's. I don't hav

Good catch. I'm not sure how to internalize that.

I'm in my mid-50's. I missed the 1950's and 1960's in the US, but I recall the 70's and onward vividly. It is hard to impart to today's generations just how subversive MTV was in the 1980's. Being differen

I think this skews toward programmers. 30+ questions and everything was a composition of shift, rotate, and, or, nand, nor, xor. If you're a programmer it's just a matter of figuring out what operations are used. If you're no

I took one as a kid. I had to draw pictures. There's a lot to an IQ test besides guess what's next.

Back in 1995 I had a moment of massive intellectual insecurity and joined MENSA. There were about 30 of us who took the test. Keep in mind this was before email privacy & hygiene and the mailing list went out to all instead of BCC so we

There are many sides to apple. The CPU architecture side is not the same as software, cloud, or products/apps, it is run very differently. It's almost a different company. The architects and designers I know left because they were

It is impossible to remain an individual contributor at Intel. This will last about a year. There are simply too many employees to maintain a flat hierarchy. People dream of this, but in reality, if you're really that good, you will ab

Sure do, Stevedave. The lead up was more fun than the game, though, IMHO. Especially the email updates.

You can export QXF and QMTF (and CSV) but the online QXF converters seem dubious... (not QFX, that's different). Although you have inspired me to spend some time examining the formats.

Bookmarked! Also, there is a long form of this called "Difficult Conversations", which is a really good book for handling all sorts of complicated issues, both at work and at home. Strongly recommended.

GnuCash only imports ancient quicken formats. The new Quicken formats (since about 2015) are not importable. I'd love to, but I can't restart a 32-year quicken file, so they got me. Plus I think the UI for GnuCash isn't as sm

I did. I found this site ages ago (like 15 years ago) and liked how simple it was. Maybe you can find stuff on it to add to your site. I like your UX/UI a lot!

Constant subtle horn-tooting in his prose as well that's irritating. But from what I've seen on Reddit, there is a huge keyboard-phile community so I can understand the desire to clearly define the space. Although I don't kno

Thanks! I went to shuffle.dev and saw "Start a new project with one million layouts!" That's a big number, but hoo boy, I gotta search through all these? Well, I've got a project for lunch it seems!

I didn't know that. Cool. Also, I was being silly, because for some reason it took me a while to get my head around klass, and compared to my other listed samples, it is an oddball.

I don't think you listened to me, because you said this: > Now compare that to fighting default styles and complected component styles As I said, I am NOT fighting default styles. I want them. I don't WANT to write my own compo
