Exactly, his weirdo vibe works because he pairs it with an incredible love for music and respect for the artists he speaks to. I think Drake said it best in the hourlong interview they have together, along the lines of "I don't do

I agree with all of this advice, and would just add that if you find yourself turning in PRs that then need some changes before they can be merged, a strategy that worked for me early in my career was reviewing my own code as if I was revie

I like making digital art and little tools to help with creating digital art... happy to see this thread, here are a few things I'm proud of from over the years An app for pen plotters focused on drawing and creating art manually more

I don't think there are stupid questions or even poorly worded questions. Even "bad" questions like "It's not working, help!" are a learning and a teaching opportunity, which I think is mostly up to how the mor

As someone who also remembers Garfield being funny as a kid, I don't read the OP as saying it was never funny, but that being funny was a secondary concern to Davis after being marketable. I just looked up a random Garfield strip from

I created a similar task at my company as the parent commenter, building a small frontend to an existing API that can be completed in a couple of hours. There's no time limit for turning it in (we suggest two weeks but don't enfor

Totally unacceptable ask in my opinion, for reasons many people have touched on. I would also add that even from the company's point of view, it's a bad deal to ask you to work. The peace of mind you get from taking an unplugged v

You've got it exactly right. It's something you need someone else's help with, and ideally you can just go ask them for help.

I totally agree with the idea that teams should remove blockers as they come up. If someone on my team runs into a blocker 10 minutes after the standup, I hope for everyone's sake that they don't wait until tomorrow's standup

I'm a team lead and every single person on my team has told me they feel much more productive and able to focus since lockdown and 100% remote work started. One of the people on my team would normally work in our office's "ch

I'm curious what you think makes this particular account a bot? To me it looks like someone who might not be particularly tech savvy who signed up for Twitter to find out about and discuss the ongoing global pandemic, which I guess you

It is kind of funny to compare that early example of a notification, which was likely novel and rare enough to actually be exciting, to today's onslaught of notifications where at least for me it's extremely unlikely that any sing

Without any further details I would suggest that this is entirely a communication issue and not one of code quality. "Good code" is not really something that can be defined, and learning general design patterns might help you in a

I always thought it was very strange to call them "sprints" since in my experience you start one immediately after finishing another. In real life following sprinting with more sprinting would be a good way to make yourself pass o

This is great, thank you for posting this. It seems like a good counterpart for Dark Patterns [1], though these examples are simply very confusing design choices rather than outright malicious ones. Anyway I'm happy to see Telegram&#x2

Awesome to see pen plotter stuff posted here with more frequency. This project is pretty amazing in its frugality, kudos to the author. I have another pen plotter and I'd highly recommend pen plotting to anyone who's into generati

I was pretty astonished, reading the original article, that a poker game would allow having RFID chips in the cards in the first place. It makes sense from the POV of wanting to stream the games without needing a set of cameras for the tabl

The article mentions the lack of drinking fountains due to the plumbers' strike, but not the fact that they only had the capacity to hook up either the bathrooms or the water fountains and Disney picked the bathrooms [1]. It's als

Ok, got it, thanks for the explanation :) I also really enjoyed the exploration and social aspect of the early part of the game back then, I quit when that was over and seemed as if the rest of it would just be re-doing the same raids over

I haven't played WOW since the first version, which I guess is "classic" now. I'm wondering what the draw would be for something like this, as I assume the current version of the game is this plus all the extras and bonu

Oh my gosh, I clicked expecting to see the classic old version... this is an updated one!! It looks like this one even shows the progression of the sound of a genre or subgenre over time, not just the other genres that came from it. Forgive

I used this list as a starting point when I went to Japan last year, ended up visiting a few of the ones on the list and a couple of other "music bars" as well, including a hip-hop/funk/soul bar in Shinjuku ("Bar Bo

A lot of high-profile outages recently. Can't actually remember the last time Twitter went fully down. Have to confess I immediately assumed an issue with my own connection, even though every other site is working. Unrelated, but for s

"They Live" is a great comparison. Of course this isn't new to someone on HN who follows this technology and the companies using it for a living, but for my uncle who just posts pictures of his dog it's a bit shocking to

Writing personal projects in a personal way seems just fine to me :) Looking at that file it's very obvious what's happening after just a cursory glance. I'd much prefer code that's very easy to understand without semico
