There is tremendous upside. You can look like a rockstar at the new company and propel yourself upwards with that momentum.

Wasn't trying anything, I was legit curious about places where intellectual conversation happens. I suppose you are right that exposing such places to air will risk their integrity, then you'll be left in the same situation as me.

I share this sentiment. Whenever I see his name I end up reading his article and whether I agree with him or not, the quality of content he puts out sets a very high bar. Whenever he writes a comment on HN it's one of those rare instan

Humor me. Recommend a filter for me to get me started. It doesn't even have to be that good and if I'm disappointed I won't be able to reply anyway.

I have taken out the word "outside" from my post, because you seem to be addressing a very minor component of my overall message. Please note: My main point is that pure, intellectual connection is almost nowhere to be found. It

The site was rife with perverts, Neo-Nazi propaganda, CSAM distribution, and honeypot operations. I think people are idealizing what it was in recent years, believing it was the same fun as in the early 2010s. It was an absolute shitshow. T

Call me naive, but I don't see why we need Kant's ideas of noumena and phenomena when we have Plato's Allegory of the Cave and Analogy of the Divided Line. In my limited experience, Plato's philosophical primitives prove

Agreed entirely. Even more glycemic foods than sugar (which is only half glucose), are not a metabolic problem. I started eating pasta, white bread, and white rice and have been able to lose weight. People on this very forum will tell me th

No, I think it's fine and honestly I can understand the need to compulsively use AirPods especially among the anxiety prone. Forcing people to endure the noise of the world, which is increasingly inorganic and terrifying, just because

From a decision-making standpoint it seems difficult to argue that you made the wrong choice. At the time when the $99 kits were ubiquitous, 23andme seemed like a solid, reputable company. Back then, few people had the mindset of, "if

reddit is a funnel away from establishment media toward sites like bitchute and obscure conspiracy groups. Every shadowban is a new alt-right acolyte. You're a fool if you think that the way reddit handles content moderation does not c

I don't know if I necessarily agree, especially with D = decoupling. However I do like the idea of dead simple code. Often I'll find code written by self styled haxors who omit curly braces and nest ternary operators because they

In my view, we need to stop putting all notions of intelligence on a pedestal. In my opinion, it interferes with productive science. It's useful to know that mentally rotating an object is a task that allows you to sort people by IQ, r

Reddit is past its expiration date anyway and I'm surprised no one has created a challenger site. Perhaps this was due to Reddit's friendliness toward programmatic access but it seems they are taking that away. This is a good oppo

Because Android is a far more secure platform and Google is a far more trustworthy custodian of your data? Or are you recommending that one opt out of a good portion of society by not using a smartphone? For most people that is not really a

If they do this, then - Make alignment of front facing cameras free (for newer automobiles not retrofits), not a $500 service option. The front facing camera is bound to fall all out of alignment, which makes the system begin to see ghosts.

Energy expenditure isn't constant but it can be easily predicted based on body mass and body temperature versus environment. You made a strawman out of the person you replied to, clearly they meant 500-1000 below maintenance (a variabl

I don't know if this is the right call, since it opens up a can of worms. Since it might affect free speech as a constitutional right it might make it to the Supreme Court, which might be interesting.

I fast, not intermittent fasting but real fasting, 48 hours or 72 hours or longer depending on social obligations, during parts of the year. I might be the only one who does this so I hope my testimony helps you out. During these fasts I ha

Lol. To fix them? They are not errors as much as warnings that are still helpful and I would like to keep. I just don't want the ugly box and underline which makes text unreadable. Even when the error involves balancing parentheses the

What bothers me most about VScode is that linters and other annotating plugins will underline and box text and make it really hard to read. It's not graceful the way error highlighting was in Eclipse and Visual Studio and it makes me m

I'm starting to become fatigued by all this TikTok news. Either ban the app or don't. Causing anxiety over TikTok without any action is the worst of both worlds.

The uncommented upon angle here is that it works because it's content derived from an already established influencer. It is not wholly synthetic but rather an ersatz good that almost seems like the real thing. The unspoken offering is

When I work with a computer I really don't want to think too much about POST or how the power on button sounds. I simply want it to turn on and work. The functioning of my computer system is mostly orthogonal to my work. I don't d

That's a very refreshing attitude. I had heard of Lunar but was reluctant to try it. Lately my policy has been "the less software the better" precisely because of how predatory most software is. But not your software, it seem
