Significant indentation is why people love python. Can 2 billion people be wrong?

As an aside, are there any habitual modafinil takers here? I had a period in college where I took it very rarely when I had to cram. Worked pretty well.

Nice! Any tips for finding spaces like that? I guess it's mostly finding coworking spaces that are focused around a specific discipline (I know there are a few gamedev ones for exa…

Disasterpeace has a bunch of breakdowns of his work on his youtube channel. Including a session about his work on Fez. He's a really interesting guy, both artistically and technica…

Jolt is essentially the same physics engine that was used in the Horizon games, the performance there should be able to get quite good. If you're making any kind of even slightly a…

Maybe I should get a thicker skin, but the prevalence of “autistic” as shorthand for “moronically literal-minded” on a place as prudish as hn is a bit surprising.

Your condescension is also obviously unhelpful here. Do better.

Sort of a callous thing to say about a person having a crisis of faith so bad they're talking about killing themselves.

I think it's perfectly possible that substance-wise this article was entirely written by the author, but comparing the style of the article to the style of the author's comments, I…

[dead]

There's 2 [dead] fairly anodyne comments here. Are they bots? And if so, how can people tell?

People are complaining about their views getting polluted, they’re not saying they literally can’t see the night sky. If you’d like hn comments to be smarter, consider starting wit…

Hey! Bit of an unusual question maybe: if this stuff further exarcerbates the loneliness epidemic and atomization of society, will you be able to live with yourself you think? If y…

I don’t know if you’re joking, but liquid breathing has only really been tested on rats, like famously the one from The Abyss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Abyss , which died a…

One thing that’s kinda awkward in the video: they mention one of the big shortcomings of ultrasound being that it can’t image “airy” organs like the lungs, and their expert respond…

Very sophomoric reading of Lacan.

Alright, I’m at the start of my career but do have a genuine burning interest in programming. Am I fucked or not?

I’ll chime in. I started learning to draw in my early twenties, couple hours a week. What helps a lot is joining a club, I’ve got a group in my town that just goes to a bar one nig…

The world's a scary place, but that's no excuse to make it worse.

Any resources for getting better at that skillset (high-velocity but largely stable ai-enhanced coding, if I understand you correctly)? I’m always pretty skeptical of these claims …

I honestly think that a 1$ “deposit” to submit a pr for new contributors (to be returned if the pr is merged) could help with a lot of OSS problems

The part about ai contributions being demoralizing for reviewers because it could otherwise be an opportunity to educate a new contributor is pretty salient imo. Especially with so…

Because we are, in our life, not always conscious.

I don’t know why I’m consciousness, but I know that I am. Other people are outwardly very similar to me, so I assume the same is broadly true inwardly. A rock is outwardly pretty s…
