I paused a bunch of times and I forget the details, but I remember everything always looking good, especially his brainstorming about the site and making notes about pgp and onion …

Every post I see from young people trying to get tech jobs is about applying to 500 places to get one interview. It’s a lie.

Hmm, I wonder why the title of the article doesn’t say the lawsuit was dismissed or why.

I don’t have any problem with my name, and it feels manipulative and overfamiliar and I assume someone’s trying to Carnegie me into something if they use it. Doc Rivers is an aweso…

This seems very cool. Was going to suggest submitting it, but I see there was a fairly popular thread 5 months ago for anyone interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45492…

Just moving my jaw doesn’t affect mine, but moving it to the side and flexing whatever muscles involved in that motion are definitely makes mine louder, just for a second. I’ve alw…

A plumber working on my pipes is upset, his wages are suppressed by competition from illegals getting paid under the table, while his rent has skyrocketed, and his taxes are paying…

My friend showed me a cool series of photography books he'd backed on Kickstarter called Vanishing Asia. Only after we'd finished flipping through them did I realize they were by K…

I agree, and people should probably ignore advice from people who haven't reached it, unless they'd be content with being b2, which is a lower level than I think people realize.

Anyone who learns enough vocabulary to be something resembling fluent (say, can comfortably watch tv shows or read books in that language), will be good at grammar far before they …

I feel like I once heard of Jay Rubin say something like, if you don't know japanese, you've never read a word of Murakami, you've read Rubin. I suppose it's obvious but it did mak…

This post is making me wonder if I did something wrong, but I hated the low resolution in the quest 2 for programming when I tried it.

I just always use let because it looks better. Const provides pretty much no value in js anyway.

What the hell is water? People can't even see politics anymore they're so steeped in it.

I do think going through a basic textbook is important but imo they shouldn't be a part of your plan once you get through one or two. I learned all the rules of spanish grammar mor…

Nice graph of syllables per second vs bits of information per second here: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/09/28/why-are-...

I guess you could frame being unwilling to go outside and/or exercise as a chronic illnesses in and of themselves, but otherwise I don't see how anyone would consider this plausibl…
