I'd recommend "Lambda, the ultimate GOTO" https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5753

Vegetarian lifter here. Getting quality protein is a bit more difficult, but if you're ovo-lacto vegetarian then egg whites and whey are great sources. You don't need to overdo it,…

To add another data point: I've lived in capitol hill for 22 years. I know zero people who have been attacked by homeless people. That's not to say that Seattle's homelessness prob…

LD50 is entirely irrelevant to this discussion. No one goes to the store and orders 1mg/kg of a substance. When considering acute harm, the relevant metric is the ratio between a t…

Yeah, I never meant to suggest that it was wrong (except in the most literal sense!). Comparative subway costs do not make MTA look good!

I assume you're speaking figuratively. Here's an extremely literal elaboration for the railfans in the thread. The route length of the NYC subway system is 245 miles. Subway constr…

Shameless plug: There's also remote GUI support through Windows Admin Center. You can manage your headless server through the browser on your workstation. It's also a good way to l…

Yeah, and I would be surprised to find a person here who praises that policy. This is textbook, premium grade whataboutism.

No, Manhattan's vacancy rate is quite low[0][1]. [0] https://www.nakedapartments.com/blog/nyc-vacancy-rate/ [1] https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/rentguidelinesboard/pdf/18HSR.pd...

This is essentially the argument laid out in stratechery: https://stratechery.com/2018/the-european-union-versus-the-i... The link tax seems like wishful thinking on the part of th…

HN has in-feed ads for Y Combinator businesses. A great example of benevolent, win-win advertising, in my opinion.

I like having both notations at my disposal. For example, F#'s forward pipe operator[0], or pipes from a unix shell. [0] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-ref…

Increasing the supply of housing should lower prices, yes. In nearly every neighborhood, single family, detached homes are the most expensive form of housing. There is an effect wh…

Yeah, and I agree. My comment was more of a tangent that struck a nerve :)

At the risk of opening the world's largest pressurized can of worms... sort of. There is an argument to be made that The South cared about state's rights only in the instrumental s…

You should extend more generosity to the point GP makes. You can believe in adjusting the system so that representation is more equal without doing away with the protections for sm…

> why should s/he wait to cross the street if s/he knows that the car that is nearing has an anti-collision/auto-break system? In the least dystopian-surveillance-state future scen…

In a stunning coincidence, this is from today's Washington Post: 'This is what happens to a shy octopus on ecstasy' https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2018/09/20/this-is-wh...

It's not just homogeneity. Cab and car services basically didn't exist in many US cities prior to ride sharing. I'm a carless transit fanatic, but 10 years ago I'd probably have to…

That's a good point and a better metric, but it's not meaningless. Very long summer days are worth something! They're just not helpful with SAD.

I'm a Seattle native and love it here. Unfortunately it is not a good place to get sunlight. We are very far north (for an American city) and overcast for most of the year. Seattle…

This is something that is well-known in planning circles. In Seattle there have been a huge number of road diet (widening the sidewalk and redesigning the road for slower traffic s…

I don't disagree with you, but the systems-level view is important not insofar as it shows us who to blame, but because it shows us the kinds of solutions that might actually work.…
