Nowhere on that website was there a "blanket statement" about all art. They said "I believe," not "It is stated fact." I also share the opinion that having no interpretation can be either or since often I have

At the risk of not fitting into the conventional HN profile, the pandemic got me my current job. They were desperately needing to fill positions, and they were the only ones who would give me an interview. Kinda stings to think about it hap

What flavor of bs would that be? I have no experience with, but aside from the usual "pay your own everything" and taxes, it seems like an alright place to be. I could also be very, or conditionally, wrong.

Run of the mill lab tech. Wish I had the privilege of remote work so I could focus on family instead of being gone for 10+ hours a day. But that's a dream for other people who know how to make it happen. I take work where I can get it.

Personal/financial success issue: Trying to figure out my life. I work a job I'm starting to hate because it's dead-end, but it pays well for what it is. Mentally exhausting though. I haven't had time anymore to find som

It's likely Rule 34 in this context has been reimagined as, "Someone cares just as much about $thing as you to [...]" Other than that, yes, the original R34 version applies somewhere in the abyss.

What one may call "stale" I might call fun and interesting. That website certainly applies; I always enjoy seeing nice little places like that with an Old Web look!

It doesn't have to be one or the other. The GUI would be for one-off or intermittent usage, and the CLI program would still come in as the primary tool for scripting or recurring use.

On one hand, I am of the laughing crowd. On the other, I have to wonder if there is something I (we?) are missing if these highly paid marketers and engineers are going after it. Surely it's not so shortsighted as to be about a few (&l

Fellow "boring old town" member here. I wouldn't have it any other way. Far away from me are the trivialities and concerns of concrete monoliths. I much prefer being able to walk outside on my own, and see open fields and for

When I first found out about Hacker News, but saw the domain (news.ycombinator.com), I had to make sure I wasn't on the wrong website. After all, it was discovery from a Torvalds Q&A session.
