Funny, every time I've joined a new group for dancing or art classes or DnD or anything it's always 100% of the time a WhatsApp group, no questions asked. (This is in Ireland). Nev…

It can go the other way. My partner has no middle name and recently got a formal letter from the HSE (Irish national health service) addressed to "Sorcha No Name Ní Shúilleabháin"*…

Would unironically love this. The ergonomics of using a decent controller are so much more comfortable to me than traditional driving controls. Just being able to rest the controll…

Location via censorship detection, clever!

I wonder would a good, sharp needle and thread make for good mounting for a soft object like this? Thread the needle, pass it right through the strawberry and the secure the thread…

Please talk to a doctor about this. You're seeing patterns where they don't exist. If your doctor has prescribed you a medication for your schizophrenia and you have not been takin…

Had a lot of fun on the right side of the map lol. Anyone else find the left side of the map causes the framerate to drop down to 15ish for some reason? Very odd, completely smooth…

Maybe in a world as culturally-fractured as ours two comments on twitter is as close to a zeitgest as you can get. Maybe. Personally I'd say it'd take at least 5.

> Might have been haunted. 'Might have been'? You say 'might have been' after you bought a Twix with all the money that ghost slowly put in the vending machine? For shame.

Or "The Wrong Street". Would make for fun GPS instructions. "In one hundred metres take a left turn onto The Wrong Street".

Yay, the most terrifying piece of short fiction I've ever read is coming true! https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

Nice, I might try it myself so, thank you!

Follow up study?

I know I'm going against the HN hivemind a bit here, and I hope I don't get flamed too much for it - but I think that that Jeff Epstein fellow wasn't a very nice man.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I wrote and deployed a few dev-opsy python scripts in my last job that I wasn't massively proud of, but after reading that I all of a sudden don't fe…

> Maybe, we should teach developers how to code. Even better: teach them how to develop.

> I always dread dealing with python developers though tbh. Out of curiosity, why is that?

> part of the hiring process was to go get your blood tested by them I know it would be far from the only illegal thing Theranos did, but that sure does sound extremely illegal.

Just took a look at what's running there and it looks like total crap. The project I'm working on, meanwhile...

This could be the case even without an intentional conspiracy. It's harder to give negative feedback to poor quality code that's complicated vs. poor quality code that's simple. He…
