Whenever I read statements like these I am torn because it's difficult to decide whether to cast it aside as "feel good rhetoric, but rhetoric nonetheless" or take it as it is. Do I simply gather the facts and make up my own

Well I guess it was only a matter of time before people started making posts proclaiming that pg’s lack of conformism is problematic.

The thing I like about this post is that it isn’t dependant on VC backed ventures. It’s good, sane advice regardless.

Not to trout a cliche around since plenty of HN has heard of this already, but David Sinclair’s book Lifespan talks about caloric reduction. Nothing crazy, skipping a meal here and there.

Running isn’t the only way to get cardio in. Tabata/HIIT, while making you feel like you’re on the verge of dying, are wonderful and most important safe for your knee joints. Long distance running will wear your meniscus out. So for ev

To be fair this is another article/essay in a very, very long string of his that can be filed under some kind of a "Fundamentals of Business" type category. If you talk to owners, they will inevitably say the same things he&#

For those too lazy to hunt, SAFE stands for Saturn Azure App Service Fable Elmish Slightly off topic but it’s good to see that F# is finally getting some proper web love.

People have already minced words over "exploitation" and where to exactly draw the boundary between acceptable/tolerable and not. It strikes me personally as flimsy reasoning to harp on his writings. If you're going to b

This is certainly a newer-ish theme. I am not sure where the bitterness comes, and to be honest, I would like to know. We are reading the same essays. More and more I am starting to think that people who are decrying pg's writing shoul

Can someone pin point what is objectively wrong or out of touch with this article? Genuinely asking because the past three+ posts from pg have been met with negativity saying pg is a wealthy Londoner who doesn’t understand the prole struggl

I faintly recall an interview with one of the developers not too long ago, maybe a few years ago or so, where they said Sweeney still touches some 80% of the code base. Also, there's always this old gem that HN should get giddy about:

I find it a curiosity that John Carmack is perpetually touted as the whiz kid even though Tim Sweeney has done far, far more from both a technological standpoint and a business standpoint. But then again I'll never understand the fawni

From JC: "the exactly predicted off-by-one-frame-of-latency input sampling happened" I'm assuming this happened because the game, starting with an empty input buffer, queued input for the subsequent frame, rather than use the

Discord is an interesting case compared to Slack. Slack is, from my understanding anyway, built out in PHP. Fairly lingua franca for the web. Discord, on the other hand, seems to have built a "technical moat" of sorts for themselv

I remember that, was on the front page. The writing was on the wall the moment they took out that full page ad in NYT which is a bizarre PR move that signalled fear. Can someone pastebin the article for us?

I remember in the last handful of decades some great mystery/thriller movies with sophisticated characters where they were using Texan and Louisianan accents (think No Country for Old Men). That, to me, is what made it all the more int

I assure you, in almost every situation, driving up the cost of anything has huge ramifications. You might think "oh that's a good thing, they get paid more". Except they don't. Read on.... When the minimum wage was rais

Something that isn't discussed about is how Amazon is able to do this, and that is that they are using their position to pay more for jobs that involve manual labor work (lots of positions in that 427,000 figure) but also to pay rates
