Oh yeah, I think learned about the 'Ian knot' on hn as well, though I use the secure variant: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

You might find the Sexy Brutale an interesting game, since it is also centered around a time loop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sexy_Brutale

Yeah, I'm out in the country with Hughesnet, and it works fine provided you haven't hit the data cap. But streaming 720p or higher is going to be pausing rather consistently.

Yep. Roughly same source, but a very different "pathway" of energy. Nuclear bombs depend on prompt neutrons, whereas nuclear power depends on delayed neutrons. Hence why the enrich…

Not really, other than limiting spread from someone who is potentially infected and making it harder for someone to touch their face (virus on hands getting into body via eyes/nose…

Assuming current trends, it will likely be though of as the 21st century's Spanish flu, though that is assuming that the trends continue.

One book[1] I read explained this in detail, amongst other similar concepts. It was really interesting and helped me think of how functional concepts could work in OOP languages. 1…

Hanford isn't a power plant, it was a nuclear production facility for weapons grade nuclear material.

The reactor that blew up in Chernobyl was because of the design of the reactor itself. Even at the time it was built, the west never would have green lit the reactor design.

And if I am wrong please correct me, but I recall high deductible health insurance became more common/prominent since "obamacare". Which i viewed as at best a half measure at the t…

Very much not. They be better at acting as insulation. A heat sink needs high thermal conductivity. Hence why most heat sinks you see are metal.

Have yet to read article, but I believe that it is always beneficial to learn how things were done. If only to gain context around way things are the way they are, ignoring anythin…

This is something I know well, since I prefer to keep quiet about x political opinion at work. Since if I'm not perfectly in the expected mold, it could sour relationships critical…

As a first commenter, I think I can say this is at least decent advice. Especially around paying off debts (he specifically mentions credit card debit, but it applies to most forms…

Number 2 reminds me of something my dad has told me a bunch, "it's not how you mess up, it's how you recover"

If I recall the fusion meme correctly, it is perpetually 10 years from now... Assuming it gets properly funded. Though I also believe that fission research and plants still have th…

I know I certainly qualify. I cannot wait to leave the city, even though I'll still need to work there.

Yep, you are free to make your own platform, except don't expect PayPal or any other processor to support you if you don't already fit on online networks.

OEMs are ms' Achilles tendon

I remember this too. Funny thing is that I never got good until I enter the industry after college. And even then, the times I need to type quickly is when I already know what I'm …

Well I know for 4chan, each thread is ephemeral and depending on how active a board is, the thread will be deleted. Which I think is the challenge citing it. Since even a day or tw…

Well, like most of Seattle's efforts, it gets fucked up, mostly because it is from Seattle. Note: I am a Seattle resident and I expect nothing less.

I'll annonance my bias towards go. But from what I understand, allowing exceptions allow for more complex code parhs. Whereas explicit error handling forces you to handle it in the…

I know my father has been questioned why he hasn't turned his green card into citizen ship over the years. Note, this was pre Trump too.

As it should be. Those taking advantage of a system are harming those who are trying to work within such a system according to it's rules.
