Well, I have to spend about 7 hours a day inside on a computer, as I'm sure you do too! I have to spend my time doing 'something' while Jenkins does its thing :) PS. I'd say it's more 'exasperation' at the

But it's not flippant, it's genuine, that is the answer for these people. It is really that simple (for 99% of people). Yes there will be outliers that this doesn't work for, but those are outliers. HN comments always give th

These tools aren't for helping people's mental health though, are they. They are becoming attached to fantasy beings and sad when they disappear. That is the OPPOSITE of healthy, and it's clearly having a dramatically negativ

I understand this may be an unpopular take here on HN (it certainly isn't in the real world), but but I can't see these people as anything other than pathetic. Go out, get a hobby, and meet real people. Jesus christ.

We have 'freedom of expression' and case law, but these things end up having to go to court, so I think it being written in a constitution would be better.

Wow, I get this! I never knew it was something other people experienced, usually it sounds like doors being slammed or big bangs. It's really odd

If you believe what people say, instead of what people do, then you are going to be disappointed by many, many people in your life. It's a cliche, but it's true: actions speak louder than words. You are the things you do, not the

It's against the rules to editoralise the title to be clickbait, it isn't against the rules to submit the literal title of the post.

"Keep at it, it can be frustrating at times but if you keep studying and practicing how to become a better developer, you will become one" There are no shortcuts in life. You need to work at it. Cognizant practice got me there, an

Can you give an example of 'shitty code'? We've got murmurs of Go being adopted by some teams so if you have first hand experience it'd be really useful

I'm not autistic, and I have the same issue with arbitrary rules, airports or other security theatre are a classic example. I'm sure there are many people out there that feel the same way

Wow, what a fantastic website. Thank you! It's great that it has other languages, as I'm fairly decent in English, but given that it's real examplse, and it highlights the text... brilliant design choice

I grew up playing Quake back in the mid 90s with M&K, so when the PS2 and XBOX came out and multiplayer shooters became really big (Halo, CoD, Medal of Honor...), I had a lot of experience playing these kind of games, but most people in

It's very funny to me, as in the 90s when console FPSes first started coming out there were always debates on PC vs Console in school, and whether mouse and keyboard was better than joypad, I guess now everyone knows the answer

Because they all edit their articles 1984-style (We never said IDF were behind it / We never said there were 500 dead / We never said it was the hospital that was hit), instead of owning up and admitting mistakes they hide and pre

I am not a fan of the space combat, but barring that this is a fantastic game that I discovered very late on in my adulthood. The sense of adventure and exploration is unmatched IMHO.

I don't think I've genuinely laughed at an internet conversation like this in such a long time. Thanks for that. I should join a forum again.

Same, I have had tinnitus since a child. The more you focus on it, the worst it gets. Best to accept that you have it and once you do the issues goes away (mostly), I still wake up sometimes noticing it, but it goes away. I think this is a

I have never thought of Twitter as a trustworthy place to get information from. I find it interesting that people use Twitter as an information crutch (as I gather from this website)

I think it's just a fashion cycle, things will change again in time and we'll be asking the same question, but for a different design choice in 10 years.

In English, it would sound strange to say "Two Raspberry Pis 4", idiomatically we would probably always say "Two Raspberry Pi Fours"
