What I've really gotten out of this is that I'd like to learn how to use a (proper) meat thermometer when I make steaks.

Are you suggesting that tattoos are uglifying the world or that an innovation like this device is? I am no defender of capitalism but I don't see the connection.

Just thinking about that makes me a bit queasy.

In my experience, as others have said, the shoulder is probably the least painful area to get tattooed, to the point where I also wouldn't call it painful. I'm halfway through one …

I wonder why the say "appears to have had," is that an assumption or was it stated somewhere? Without an offline backup, it would indeed be a very serious problem, more than it alr…

"Reading books is overrated" -- what an HN take. You've gotta be kidding me.

I started learning software in the early 2010s and I read a lot of software books like the ones mentioned in the article. I continued reading them as the years went on, but the las…

Same way they do it now. Cold applying, word of mouth/referrals, networking events, etc. Personally my first industry job in like 2012 originated from a networking mixer that I sho…

When you zoom in to the street map level, the planes are practically invisible with their color and thin borders. Pretty neat though, that's a lot to load and keep smooth.

Maybe this applies more towards adults, but I don't think the correct answer for kids is only "just have self-control," something kids are notorious for not having. Certainly there…

If we want to compare it to alcohol/cigarettes, then kids shouldn't be allowed to use this either.

Really ironic given that they pulled the rug on general aviation usage.

Same here. I quickly learned that if you merely ask questions about it's understanding or plans, it starts looking for alternatives because my questioning is interpreted as rejecti…

> Yes I can. I even provided an example for exactly that: `[4]any` can hold references to any type. And now you've lost type checking. `(&'static str, bool, u64, f64)` is not the s…

I've only written a handful of production projects in Go so my experience isn't very deep, but I find the syntax to be the ugliest of any PL. The mixed capitalizing based on functi…

Zed is the only editor I've been using for maybe two months or so. But I find the extensions still sorely lacking and the API not extensive enough yet either. Still, I really love …

Anecdotally, my cats meow at me a lot. But they're my cats (others live in the house and help care for them). I also meow back more than anyone else. In fact, I might be the only o…

Anything to avoid stricter gun legislation. This type of incident will be considered an unfortunate but necessary sacrifice despite how dystopian it really is.

How do you pay with PayPal if not putting in your credit card or bank details? link is a pretty well-known online wallet and much simpler to use than PayPal.

It's $16k for a 1-person household. Here's the rest: $21,150 (2), $26,650 (3), $32,150 (4), $37,650 (5), $43,150 (6), $48,650 (7), $54,150 (8) Also the median household income in N…

Working with one of those right now, on my two-person team, ironically.

I am on a team of 2 people with a dedicated manager. That is, the manager does not write code and is not even really technical. It is awful, send help.

I had no idea what Arrow is: https://arrow.apache.org or arrow-rs: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs

My grandpa (father's father) grew up in Rochester and that was the first time I visited New York for a family reunion, way back in the early aughts. Kodak was the major employer in…
