Darn it, I thought this was going to be about IT backup and recovery strategies, which is much more relevant to me than whatever this nonsense is.

Hard disagree. Watching/reading/consuming modern news is too stress-inducing (as it is designed to be) just to have something to chat about or become more well-informed about issues that in large part have no bearing on me. I pay

Antiseptics and antibiotics are both classes of antibacterials, but yes, antiseptics can be delivered intravenously. At that time, they may have used something like iodine, penicillin or even carbolic acid.

Allowing comments on a news aggregator doesn't mean it's a forum. The fact that HN purposely doesn't have much of the standard functionality of a forum should clue you in to the fact that it isn't one.

Agreed. In fact, I'd like to see HN go even further and close discussions after some limit has been reached, whether it's time- or attention-based.

HN isn't a forum.

The anonymity of online forums is like alcohol: your personality traits are going to be amplified under the influence of them. If you're an asshole, both alcohol and anonymity are just going to make you a bigger asshole. Doesn't m

You can claim all you want that 'Google Search Is Dying', but their quarterly earnings report says otherwise.

The internet is never going to be 'small' again. You can choose to deny the changing reality of the modern internet and stick your head in the sand, but it's going to be apps and centralization from here on out. Maybe DeFi wi

If you're new to the 'professional' working world, then I can understand a lack of conformance with the norms of those environments. However, if you've been working in professional environments for a while, there's

This article does a decent job of summarizing some of the issues that face the mentally ill and pointing out that psychiatry without strong community support is almost useless. However, it's really just a subtle ad for a book, which pr

"...with today's technology..." So we have the ability today to move 50K tons of parts into orbit, and come up with vast quantities of helium-3?

I've mentioned this before, but I think the conflation of 'developer' and 'software engineer' can really cause confusion when hiring. These are different roles that most HR, management and even most 'developers

This looks interesting, but the coolest part of this site is the forums. I had no idea that phpBB was still in active development/maintenance. It's surprising how ridiculously fast it is, and how much information is packed into ea

Remember, this is Wall Street you're talking about, so both things can be true: Twitter can miss analyst's expectations, and the stock can go up because other analysts see an opportunity based on different expectations. If you&#x2

The founders may have energy industry experience - which is what you want, since it's the operating domain and they'll have industry information and contacts that 'outsiders' won't - but they seem to have a pretty s

I thought that referring to your base URL in a canonical tag was a bad idea - why would they do this, since the content on each of the two pages is different?

It's ok to send feedback, but understand that it's probably not going to change anything at the organization in question, except brand you as the 'Anti-Teams Crank'. It's also perfectly ok to reject a position based

It's not only unclear at first glance who the audience is, but what the tool actually does. It seems like some kind of no-code tool at first, but then it mentions pair programming? I'm confused, and don't want to wade through

It sounds like you need to evaluate whether or not your dreams are a good match for your personality. If you don't have the ambition or drive to do the daily work required for either a machine learning PhD or a medical degree, then you

But at some point, isn't the hand-picked approach going to result in the same morass of version dependencies on any site of moderate complexity?

Ugh. Academic marketing groups can be just as ridiculous as corporate marketing groups. The modeling device happens to be about the size of a kitchen sink, it isn't an actual kitchen sink.

I think his premise is that cellular automata can model literally anything.

This was a pretty interesting adicle until the sales started in earnest. Tines looks mildly interesting, but it's wildly expensive and the community edition isn't available on-premises, so it's a hard pass from me. Plus, I&#x
