Here is an example where I would have had a better day if I simply didn't show my skills to anyone https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=37308823

Sure. I'm the elitist, the coder who can't keep his job for longer than 2 years because he doesn't have any soft skill. At the moment I am literally considering quitting (my second job), working at a phone repair shop instead

Honestly when I accepted that clever code is bad code, my passion for coding died and now I just want to coast until I get fired and then go work at a phone repair shop I think when I picked my major, I never understood what software engine

I think it's sadder that developers would rather use an app rather than learning the proper command line for basic things like decoding base64

Many people living in these countries, know what's going on. They silently support the violent levels of censorship because they think our government is just as bad and often hypocritical (even though the US is objectively better in mo

All I can say is.. Garbage collection, and memory management ("recycling"), are hard, lol.

That's good. And I am biased. I personally liked American and Japanese culture better anyways. Growing up in China, everyone I knew keeps telling me our culture is fake, reconstructed from a pile of burning books and detached from both

Yeah you are right that people are applying the wrong laws and expecting results. Ideally we would consider creating new laws. But it is hard to explain why a company's control over its own platform can be harmful especially if competi

Lol it's funny to summarize this discussion as: "we don't want to make a (seemingly) positive change because too many people rely on us to live in their 'backwards' ways".

If everyone can band together and generate N fake clicks for every 1 real click, And provide N wrong Captcha answers for every correct answer, Then we might just be able to send a message to advertisers and those "data anal-lysts"

My point is book burning can cause backlash. Therefore so can deletionism. When the backlash happens, it's often already too late. But people are aware something was gone, that's why there is a backlash. I know this because it hap

by someguy7250 3y ago
Yes but book burning had backlash, too. And frankly if we are really that stupid then we didn't deserve tech and culture in the first place. Might as well delete wikipedia. Let people forget everything, then evolution will take over. &

by someguy7250 3y ago
Frankly I say we let them delete all public backups of internet culture. Eventually there would be a backlash when this goes too far. Lots of games, websites and TV shows would be gone. Let them. Don't make local backups either. Or at

Wow! This might just be what I've been hoping for, since 2020. What I hoped for was more of a generic backend for multiplayer games. But this is even better. It looks like a next-gen bittorrent which natively supports operations? How d

Hopefully one day we will be advanced enough to start transforming the desert. It's not an easy task and I don't know enough about science or economics to say it's definitely feasible. It's just a hope. And if people wou

True. I am not asking people to just accept anything though. If you want growth, have at it. When my phone completely breaks, I would love to get a better hardware with more features.

(Edit: Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and is based on information before 2015) China is good at controlling public opinions like this. I grew up in a "third line" city and we were always told if we don't have good gr

And then there are people like me, I only have hard skills and not enough soft skills. People end up not trusting me because they find out I'm hiding skills. And I end up not using them, and not even trying to convince people what&#x27

IMO, the meat of this paper is in section 4.3 and 4.4. And I cannot say for sure, but the formal proof of 4.4 basically summarizes the same points pointed out in 4.3. Most of these are not inherently mathematical problems but a social one.

I don't really know where it went wrong with the real theories. But, when I imagine quantized gravity in my head, I don't imagine having a carrier particle (graviton). Rather, it feels like gravity is special and the chunks of spa
