    Bit late to reply to this, but my point was that it's strange to complain that specific types of food is unavailable, when the people that would make that food aren't here. I can s…

    Also, there are barely any Chinese people here or Mexican people, why do you expect there to be mexican food? Look for Vietnamese, Syrian, Turkish etc. and you'll find plenty of go…

    Right ok, I see if you're looking for something non-European you'll likely not find anything as good as the good stuff in the US. But that seems like you're looking for the wrong t…

    I really don't agree with this > Eating out is a big part of your life; there are restaurants, but they're expensive and for the most part unimpressive. If someone who worked at No…

    Please tell me where you find houses for under $37.000 in Denmark right now? Even outside of Aalborg you will pay at least $70.000-100.000. But yeah if you're a tech worker and can…

    Well I guess there is kommuneskat, which differs between kommuner. So you can pay anything between 37 to 39 depending on where you live. But the 15% base tax doesn't make sense to …

    While I agree with your point, the map example is not entirely well represented in your comment. The idea is not to just store keys and values in separate arrays, the idea is to lo…

    Uber is not really a taxi company. They do a whole lot of general transport infrastructure not for laymen. But 36k still seems absurd.

    Part of the point of Casey's videos (Previous one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34966137 ) is that it _doesn't_ take more time because very often the simple thing is the fas…

    You could spend 2 minutes looking up who you are talking about. This video from 2015 where Casey is interviewing Mike Acton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWJpI2adCcs Also this c…

    It seems like you may be assuming that Casey is arguing against writing clear code, which he is not. He is arguing that you should just write the simple thing and usually that is a…

    WHO recommends _up to_ 2 years. After 6 months in addition to other nutrition.

    If it seems like he is implying he came up with arena allocators himself, that is definitely not intended. I didn't read it like that though.

    That's a good point. My daughter is in daycare so I could take her home anytime I want if I'm home. If I (and my partner) had the opportunity to work less during weekdays and more …

    Are you suggesting that 100 LOC is a lot to maintain? If the implementation was something like several thousands it would be a different story, but 100 LOC is a few functions as se…

    I assume a lot of people roll their own containers and use STL algorithms, which makes a lot of sense if you need control over allocations but still want to utilise the STL.

    A lot of game companies don't use STL. I assume theremust be plenty of system software companies doing the same.

    A lot of modern programmers don't practice non pessimization. Back of the envelope: what is feasibly the best this should perform? So you end up with things that take up way more r…
