Nope, you misread me, I clearly stated the term "irrationality". I consider myself as educated, though having your own kids and being responsible for their life and well-being is w…

This mostly comes down to the irrationality regarding risks when you're having kids. Out of my own experience, and given the worst cases scenarios you hear from it's difficult not …

That's the reason why there was a USB port on each side of the original Apple keyboard (not the wireless one of course). These ports (on the back) are most likely located there wit…

I agree, what's more important IMHO is education/knowledge of existing data manipulation, after all 99% of the work is reuse not pure creation (incremental vs pure innovation). Alg…

And that's why you must monitor your servers health. You know, for when they're starting to act funny. I'm not related in any way with them but as a personnal favorite (I even use …

Hello HN, Founder and main developer here. Archyn allows to build comparison matrices were any change on an Element is seamlessly cascaded everywhere without hassle. I've built thi…

Hi HN, Founder and main developer here. I've built this because I wanted to have a smart comparison matrix generator without spending a minute on the logic and necessary orchestrat…

They most likely used quipu for this I think. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quipu

Point "2. Maintain regular backups." should rather be "2. Maintain regular backups and validate your restoration process." How painful it can be when you realize that your backup p…

Yeah, well thanks for stating the obvious... When you have kids you come very quickly to the realization that rewards aren't a mean to efficiently motivate. However intrisic motiva…

That's what is explained in the Janus model, both universes coexist in the same space and are rejecting each other through gravity, matter "won" over antimatter only by a tiny bit …

Thanks for the clarification, perhaps I was misleading, the point being that black holes have been deduced by mathematical interpretation, not observation of a phenomenon and today…

Actually, as far as I get it, black holes just don't exist: it's a journalist term coined for a mathematical concept. In short a black hole is how we call the possible existence of…

On another note a theory which seems to fit particularly well is called Janus. The concept lies in the existence of a twin universe (ours being matter based the twin being antimatt…

"Florida man"... Has Gizmodo changed into the Onion or Reddit now?

Relevant comment by Linus Torvalds on standards: "I've said this before, and I'll say it again: a standards paper is just so much toilet paper when it conflicts with reality. It ha…

So, another ad-financed blog post, right? Also the following is ridiculous: "It's also obvious why it makes no sense to ask "Why don't you ditch Windows and install Linux on it?". …

Glad to see that my understanding was correct, also congratulations on the new role :) If I may give you one huge hint on your product's SWOT at least functionally speaking and esp…

Junior positions I think not, especially as a Product Manager (well depending the size of your structure) is supposed to have lots of contacts, all the time, even when he's overloa…

First of all, I'm not a biologist but a software consultant and have worked in several software companies as level 3 support. My personal experience on tiny and sometimes unrelated…

Am I the only one to foresee that such changes can do way more harm than good? As comments went on a previous post on a similar topic: Genetic changes are a lot like assembler soft…

To summarize: It depends where you'll end up and which tech area you're specialized in. Paris is often a good spot, south east as well (Monaco, Cannes, Nice) if you're specialized …
