And then you need to add another server to the infra / netops / tools team's maintenance burden and then they take it down for an upgrade and it doesn't come back up etc etc. I don…

At one of my old jobs, the bathroom was locked with a 4 digit code followed by the key symbol. We jokingly made up "Bathroom Code" as an interview question/to nerd snipe each other…

If you read reviews for kids foreign-language language books on Amazon, you'll see a fair amount of adults reading it for themselves mixed in. That's a little more self-directed bu…

If you think about it, any response you get is a "200" by that definition since the server successfully gave you...something. The browser usually has no special handling for most r…

I would love to be able to have a native stable diffusion experience, my rx 580 takes 30s to generate a single image. But it does work after following https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1…

I would love to hear about any of this. I couldn't find a clear migration path with some quick googling, but I managed to eventually track down the rules I need to get mostly compa…

People like apocryphal stories about successful people. Celebrities, billionaires, professors. imo the story serves as a way to connect the reader to the article. The HN crowd tend…

I got a spin bike that came with spot for an iPad or comparable device, and paid $10/month for a peloton digital subscription. Sure I don't get to be on the leaderboard, but I'm sa…

New York is possibly more lenient on these things, but after scrolling on the website I realized they allowed anything postmarked to you at the address. Fortunately I had just gott…

I had an algorithms class (6.006 or 046?) with Silvio Micali, who I learned partway through the semester was one of the first authors about these things. Anyway, he was a great pro…

Oh man, I had a similar experience with the keyboard and a large Japanese company, but I just got used to it. Going back and forth between my laptop at the company dorm(!) and work…

I use stumpwm, but to be honest I think I barely added any config options. Sloppy mouse focus was one and another to take screenshots with flameshot. Sloppy mouse focus in particul…

My editors and code review tools do not format or highlight sql for me when it's embedded in other files - eg java. I find capitalized keywords to be very convenient. Of course at …

An old Japanese programmer told me that when he started out, they attempted to translate everything into Japanese. My memory is fuzzy (this conversation was 8 years ago) so take th…

In school, we used to have "wiki races" when we were bored (I later googled this and we were far from the only ones). Pick a start and end article and race to see who got there fir…

I just watched Falcon and the Winter Soldier so I'm mentally biased, but this reminds me (or _doesn't_, I guess) of the plot, specifically the GRC. Specifically how attitudes chang…

(Simplification, I'm happy and "well-adjusted" whatever that means): I've accepted the fact that my body has an urge to survive and it's not worth (and why would I want to) trying …

I usually don't correct spelling but sake* (ends in an eh noise) gets me every time. Totally agree though. Conbini snacks and some canned alcohol were how I traveled on the shinkan…

In NYC last year eggs were like 2.50-3.00/dozen on a bad day. Are you shopping somewhere crazy or are nyc and sf that disconnected? I mean, I have seen $10/dozen but they were some…

My AP calc teacher was big into Leithold, specifically TC7 ( https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-7-Louis-Leithold/dp/06734691... ) when I had him. Claimed Stewart was useless, but he h…

I'd file it under things that initially sound ridiculous but make sense when you think about it. Which is fine by me, those are always interesting. It does remind me of shoes on th…

1) That sweet sweet feeling of feeling different. I've come to accept that part of the reason I use linux and vim is I derive some satisfaction from being "hipster". But not enough…

It's definitely highly variable by university and major. I know all the chem e people I went to school with suffered through the same track together, for the most part. But the com…

What is albuterol? Why does not having it render the entire list terrible? Could you elaborate in a way that inspires useful discourse?

I've been running kitty and tmux for over a year now and if I have any issues with tmux I've been inured to them. Oh wait, I think a lot of kittens don't work and that might be rel…
