> It's long been the case that the best way to learn something is to teach something Which is pretty unfortunate for those that want to learn. I used to enjoy writing documentation…

Based on previous posts I've seen about this, IIRC the timing seems to imply that it has more to do with them being hammered with AI slop than it does with the Azure transition. Wh…

As someone who knows anything about Texas cities, I assure you that parking space is not an issue in Dallas

And animals have evolved perceptibly in my lifetime, they still don't believe in evolution. I grew up in a culture of Jesus Freaks. The way they place faith above evidence and logi…

I think the counterargument would be that the web sucks in large part because of the way it’s been shaped by Google. Most of the hyperwordy blogspam is driven by sites trying to op…

Every time I resize my window now, the output is completely garbled. I often have to ask it to repeat itself just so I can see what it just said. This isn’t a new thing, but it fee…

I agree that it’s a pretty different experience for fiction, where the subjective experience is everything and the narrator can color your experience a lot. For nonfiction, I think…

It’s losing favor because it’s lacking in a lot of ways. The most exhorted virtue in the church is faith, which is just another word for irrationality. So the church often ends up …

Thats gonna be a no from me dog. I don’t expect anyone to read something I didn’t read myself

There was an official Kindle version, but they discontinued it as of a few years ago :(

I guess. If people really have so little ability to think for themselves then is democracy viable?

Trump voters voted for someone that has plainly been an egomaniac with no real plan since day one. They got what they voted for People had 10 years to see what Trump is. I wasn’t e…

Why not both? Yes, there are systemic issues in the US. But 70% of the US either voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all in 2024. (Let me pause to pre-empt any bothsideism by saying …

I came to mention the same game. I have many fond memories of playing co-op games on the Gamecube with my cousins back in the day (Mario Party, Shrek 2, Lego Star Wars… Pac-Man Fev…

Because people want/need accessible parks? Texas in particular has relatively very little parkland compared to its size, and its population-to-park ratio is getting increasingly ou…

This sounds like the lump of labor fallacy It seems almost certain to me that AI is going to increase the surface area of what it’s possible for programs to do and therefore massiv…

How much coffee were you drinking before quitting? 3-6 months seems like a very long time. As far as I know, most withdrawal symptoms should end within 2 weeks, with the most inten…

The problem is that all the infrastructure that cars need (roads, parking lots) makes everything WAY further apart. For example, downtown Houston is literally like 25% parking lots…

> The technology is the same I mean sure, they both have engines and wheels, but they're already distinguishable in the eyes of the law. Commercial and personal vehicles are regist…

Troll post? You state that "other people's cars" facilitate thousands of aspects of modern living, then go on to talk about things that trucks do, not personal vehicles

I think you'd need to present some stats that compare how much the ultra-wealthy and normal people donate to altruistic causes (adjusted for income) to make that argument

My understanding is that Wikipedia receives more donations than they need, surely they have the resources to fix it themselves?

Having grown up deep in the Bible belt, I can say that there's often a lot of overlap between the Jesus people and the various -ists Bigotry has been a big part of the Moral Majori…

You don't think someone from a country might know a bit more about it than the average person on HN?

I agree, but I don't know of a better place to discuss current events on the internet. I can at least expect that the people are educated and intelligent (relative to the average i…
