Are you sure about that? for me it just leads to neal.fun, which is a well loved by HN list of projects, but no IQ test nor begging for money.

Absolutely unhinged content from someone who needs to touch grass. Payday loans are scams that prey on the poorest, most uneducated people. This industry is actively harmful to society. But hey, I'm sure writing this helps you sleep at

You've never played with a pen, finger or spoon hitting different plates and vases on your table and amusing yourself with the drumming? Twanged a ruler on the edge of your desk? Congratulations, that makes you a musician.

No, the author is advocating for the simple two dial (power and time) microwaves, which give you all the control at the cost of having to understand how it works. The author is saying that in the effort to "simplify" stuff, microw

I vilify capitalism because it makes kids work in coal mines. Is that unjustified?

Lots of deserts and mountains in Spain, while the Netherlands is mostly flat and it's a bunch of small villages that are really close together.

The Fourier transform is almost, but not quite it's own inverse when dealing with reals, so they'd be very similar to the results here.

If you turn what now is barren land or grasslands into a forest, it absorbs CO2 as it grows, and that CO2 stays captured for as long as that land is a forest, it doesn't matter if individual trees die and decompose.

I don't see these other people as fellow developers, but as golf-playing executives or their children. I'm aware that not everyone here is a dev, but we mostly have similar careers.
