Raw leaf Kratom seems to be helpful for some with what I would consider a manageable and acceptable addiction danger. You can get hooked on it, realize there is an issues and cut b…

Same. I watched a manager fail upwards till he practically ran the entirety of engineering. All his projects failed, got expanded and restarted with more budget and more devs until…

Most programmers never get to experience the amazing feeling of being truly done with a software project. I used to work on video games in the 90s which would go into a box and ont…

It's satirical but also true. I have a tesla model y. I only use the autopilot feature to quickly take over when I'm going into the U/I to do something complicated... like adjustin…

Yup. I recently bought a 4runner, not top of the line mind you, and it cost the same as my wife's Tesla Model Y. Love that thing though ... specifically bought the non-pro model to…

Haven't heard anyone talk about the Shangri-La diet in ages. I did a slight variation of this for awhile way back in my 30s at it worked great. Recently testing this out with OMAD …

Yup. Every page on the PG&E site is pushing moving to electric cars and home charging but actually getting a panel upgrade that can support it has been a nightmare. Weeks between e…

LOL - this is good timing. A bunch of my unit tests just started failing due to the recent DST transition. Luckily our CI build servers are all GMT so it only failed on local runs.…

Interesting. I'd never heard of this sect. Also not allowed to live on the same land as their cattle. Always fascinating to read the rules and behaviors of these outlier communitie…

There is a wonderful little game based on this concept called universal paperclips. The AI eventually consumes all the matter in the universe in order to turn it into paperclips. h…

It's not even about crazy emails. My wife works for an Aerospace company so her work email was blahblah@blah.aero and a huge number of websites still don't recognize that as a vali…

You are correct. It's one of many sleight of hand tricks used to exaggerate the impact of beef. For some reason, certain parties don't want harm reduction policies on these issues,…

I ride a bike, around 2000 miles/year and I'd love to be able to spout the statistic their claiming. But please, /they are also stating that driving a car 10KM has the same carbon …

Sigh. I tried using fizz buzz as an interview question for awhile and never got a single applicant who could solve it. Some just had no idea how to do much of anything but it turne…

I have no idea what google optimizes for but it's not time or distance. At least in my neighborhood (San Francisco) it almost alway pushes you onto "main" traffic streets over much…

For what it's worth the original close order was supposed to align with bringing the newer Flamanville 3 1,650 MW plant online which would have been a nearly even swap. Unfortunate…

I take as much as 20 grams a day with no side-effects. It can take your stomach awhile to get used to that much but once it has adjusted its fine.

This has always been true. If a poor persons bike is stolen, it's a misdemeanor. If a rich person's bike is stolen it's a felony. It's disgusting.

I think your missing an important detail here. She didn't say she wanted to go to San Francisco. "she was told that she couldn't remain where she was and was asked where she would …

I own a few Butler motorcycle maps. Phones kind of being impossibly inconvenient on a bike. My riding suit even has a giant back pocket specifically for easy access to a map.

This is correct. I find this excerpt sobering when looking at stats for private planes. """ Doing the math In other words, take these comparisons with a grain of salt: In 2013, tra…

He talks about designing a film for the big screen experience but every film he mentioned except maybe "North by Northwest" is vastly superior in a good home theater. "Persona" by …

All the works-with-nest integrations got killed recently. Infuriated me as that was a major selling point of the platform. I used to have my lights rotate evenings when I wasn't ho…

Seems like an unusually large percentage of posts on Hacker News are behind paywalls, some soft, some hard, some with a maximum free articles per time-unit. I peruse most of the to…

Sun was constantly blowing my mind when I first got into computing. I remember going to my first Java 1 when Sun was showing off the Java Card. There were terminals everywhere and …
