As I recall, it took me a considerable while to determine that the equipment worked outside the case. I think I tried replacing the RAM, CPU, and PSU before doing the mobo, and unl…

I went through something similar building my first PC. I had worked a summer job just to be able to afford one, researched all the parts obsessively, and slowly waited for all of t…

The quotation is factual and avoids making an argument. I'm not sure what you're trying to refute.

> The human mind just can't handle perception! "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he …

Numerology and pseudoscience are not liable to be well-received on HN.

> Mathematics, so useful a tool in the past, cannot describe this situation. The only way to describe this system is by using the system itself; there are no shortcuts. > Math, phi…

Tesla is a bad example for almost any given point, but in this case it's relevant to note that he was not a scientist, and his funding model did not work.

I had decided against a somewhat stronger statement; I didn't want to bash Pickaxe unnecessarily, particularly as I don't have a lot of better suggestions. I'm fairly inclined to w…

Ruby is a heavily idiomatic language. It's strongly advised to use rubocop or a similar style guide -- and to temper that with good judgment, at least when it recommends avoiding `…

The Shuttle was designed for a use-case that evaporated, and it's not necessarily inaccurate to suggest that it was manufactured so as to spread "pork" to as many Congressional dis…

I met a lovely Mrs. Null, who had many unfortunate stories concerning automated forms.

They're arguing for the removal of regulations in a general sense, not just specific problematic regulations. The solution being proposed is incorrect, regardless of whether the pr…

I patched my firmware and installed GalliumOS[0], which is basically a tweaked version of Ubuntu. I was previously using crouton[1], which functions similarly[3] to Crostini. On Ch…

Homelessness never existed before government regulations?

Yes, all of these problems are 100% caused by immigrants, and no native-born person has ever been guilty of them. No, you're not attacking immigrants. I completely believe your rat…

No, anarchy is not a solution to over-regulation. If it were, then we would not have regulations. Markets are not a solution for all problems: market failures are quite real, and n…

> Based on capitalism though. This is close to a non sequitur, and it doesn't help that you're talking about student discounts as if they were a particularly large component of stu…

Keats famously said something quite similar, but this to me seems a bit reductionist.

You're deliberately ignoring the argument you're responding to. > As long as the immigrant workers have the same rights and working standards as any other worker, what is the probl…

What is this nonsense about working for free? We have minimum wage laws for a reason. You should not need to resort to invention to justify your position.

The universal answer to problems with agile is that the complainer is not doing agile correctly. This may even be true. It may still represent a problem.

Consensus is the track record of science. Observations are not theories.

The current consensus is the closest that science gets to "truth". Depending on your definition of "groupthink" (which seems like a deliberately pejorative term), either that descr…

There is no one thing called "truth". There are different systems of verification, which produce truths, but "1 + 1" is not comparable to "water boils at 100 degrees C". Mathematic…

Your definition of "capitalist" does not seem to bear much relation to the ideas of Adam Smith. Also, you added a clause ("for free") to the statement you responded to, then argued…
