It was pointless. The python core team decided to obsolete every existing line of python code in exchange for basically nothing. On top of it a few features were changed in ways that felt outright vindictive (division, the u'' con

More people SHOULD have refused the python3 transition plan (the most common example in the piece). It was absolute garbage and the eager adopters were the ones responsible for it becoming permanent.

Expecting your neighbor to be ok with two people talking to each other for 7 hours straight is just plain rude regardless of your office preference.

Yes? It's easy to feel productive in an open office. There's activity and buzz and you can accomplish nothing for four hours and still feel like you did something. You can't do that in a more private setting, what you're

I own an xps 15. It gets mega hot and can't run anything without having to slow down performance because it is too hot. Whatever the optimal battery solution is XPS15 is not doing a good job of it.

There are also compromises made on the frosting so that it doesn't melt at room temperature. Fake cakes let you serve cakes that actually taste good. American cake is in general very good - I'm not sure where you're comparing

I haven't used them in ages so I didn't believe this. It seemed too ludicrous. I logged in to check and actually laughed out loud when I saw it. How much trouble must this company be in?

What's the irony, really... there's probably a reason innate IQ settled around where it did over the thousands of years since civilization started and not higher.

Many programmers hit their peak salary very fast. Making $140k a year for 35-40 hours of work a week <4 years out of college with no graduate school is pretty insane. Continuing to make that $140k 20 years later is also insane, but in th

Drunken Master 2 has one of the most depressing endings I've ever seen in a movie. After the final fight (which involves his drinking industrial grade alcohol to power up enough to win) the movie flashes forwards and it turns out that

Asking if Kenji stole recipes is like asking if Modernist Cuisine stole recipes. You'd have to be unfamiliar with either to ask.

When I had a Google interview I was told (or it was at least heavily implied) that I wouldn't be evaluated by the people I was having lunch with. I didn't really believe that, and looks like I was right not to.

I'm convinced that flat got popular because it was cheaper than creating textured graphics. The endless fawning over flat on HN was extremely obnoxious - back in 2013 you couldn't go a day without a "flat design is good desig

When people use the phrase MBA on HN they usually mean MBA from one of the top 20 or so programs, which answers your first question.

I don't really understand what parts of the game are really departures from the Zelda formula. Swapping out the small mechanics like climbing and cooking this could be an Ocarina of Time review.

The aging of the gaming populace is I think a large part of why online CCGs (like Hearthstone, Shadowverse, Eternal) have been getting so popular - while there are obviously a lot of kids who play, many of the players are older. As I'v

Because if you're going to buy an aspirational product it should actually be used by the demographic you're aspiring to be a part of.

That belief certainly has some research backing it (first Google result was https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/07/160712130107.h... , I'm sure you can find me).

But the anonymous sources are saying that the only problem was that Google was too generous. Clearly we should believe them at face value.

Excellent journalism - anonymous sources speculate as to what might have caused people to leave a company. Also pushes the new business-friendly narrative that it's good for companies to pay their engineers less. Well done, I hope the

It has more to do with appetite. Fat produces a hormone called leptin, which suppresses appetite. You evaluate the quantity you eat very differently depending on your appetite. A meal that makes me very full at 190 pounds will barely satiat

For a more modern game, yeah, but StarCraft 1 is just in a league of its own, specifically vanilla (the Valkyrie and devourer feel a little off-key, along with some of the BW textures). The feel of every unit, texture, and doodad and even t
