Here's the thing about DEI initiatives, that many people seem to forget -- it was never about merit (or the lack thereof), it was about competing against racial bias and unfair law…

I use them for movie theaters and other loud places. Works a charm!

Always been sensitive to sounds and have taken effort over my life to protect my hearing. It may look silly, but I still plug my ears when a large truck/train passes by. Result is,…

And we'll still see the next batch of YC companies being 90% SaaS and/or devtools (but this time with AI)!

Yep, this is something my fiancé and I are actively planning for at the moment. In her culture and language, having a native-sounding name provides an individual with all the socie…

This is exactly what it was. As more people have began to adapt to the Pakistan meta, they are not as dominant. It was just a new skilled style that no one outside of Pakistan was …

For anyone not in the Tekken scene (the video explains better than I will) Pakistan came out of nowhere and took the world by storm. Usually, it was Korean and Japanese players tha…

Ask around. I'm sure there are some technical people in your extended circle that you may not have considered. Also, there are tons of tech job boards out there. Many many years ag…

Heh, when I first moved to Seoul, I noticed those big pots (onggi/옹기) everywhere. You might see 2 or 3, or 20 in front of a house, building, etc. I asked my friend what was the dea…

> Not my experience. I eat one meal a day and I don't really get work going before that meal (which is usually around noon). Of course, you do what is best for you. But I recommend…

Agreed. When I first started IF so many years ago, it was a shocker how much my sense of smell increased. In the sense of evolutionary biology, it makes sense. If you are hungry, y…

I can't agree with it being a delusion. Again, my personal experience is just that -- personal. Ketones are associated with fasted states and/or restricted carbohydrates. The avera…

I'm a daily faster for the past 20 years, so I can attest (anecdotally) to the benefits of working while hungry. Once you adapt, after a couple weeks, instead of being irritable wh…

I love Clojure (and have touted such in past comments), but it suffers from a glaring problem: every library is half done and/or abandoned. What happens is you end up modifying an …

I appreciate your edit. It's a sensitive topic and although we may try our hardest to be bias free, we are human, and we are fallible. I'll try to reread your initial post again. B…

The "random google doc" was prepared by Dr. Janelle Wong of the Asian American Studies Program from the University of Maryland.

I'm not arguing that Asians are being discriminated against. It's obvious this is happening, and it's disgusting. I was commenting on your comment about Black Americans being the l…

See for yourself: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19llMUCDHX-hLKru-cnDCq0Bi... Also, your comment history shows a definite bias.

That's my point. I'm not pointing fingers. When these stories first begin to trend, I looked up the data and saw the raw numbers. Any preconceived notions you may have are yours an…

I hate to see this rhetoric on HN. I considered this one of the last bastions of rational, open, and unbiased discourse. I suppose "Eternal September" comes for all. As a member of…

It's their ego. I'm now at the CTO level, but I still code as a hobby (daily) and will contribute as necessary to a product with coding. A couple years ago, during a stretch with a…
