    Exactly. I spent a decade plus in a job where emails came in routinely until 9-10 at night and often the CEO would send out something on the weekend. Even if I wasn't required to r…

    Haha. Fair. I've got this morbid curiosity about right wing authoritarian conspiracy fiction. Apparently Ben Shapiro has several novels in the same vein. Genuinely curious... why'd…

    Oh goodness. Thank you for introducing me to Shadow Wolves. It sounds positively dreadful. I want to read it but I don't want to pay for it. Either monetarily or cognitively.

    Yeah, I think that's exactly right. And it's hard to reach for a weapon when you can't move your arms.

    Because your original comment offered a contemptuous, know-it-all tone devoid of any meaningful content. It's kind of a shitty feeling, isn't it?

    It's a really interesting question. Jiu-jitsu unquestionably works in "uncontrolled" environments. I'd wager large money that if more police officers trained in grappling and submi…

    I earned a black belt in Karate last year, have messed around with TKD, Judo, and Kali, and this year got reasonably serious about BJJ by starting in a belted program. It's impossi…

    Wow. That is really neat. I've always believed that spoken languages that are constructed/contrived are doomed to failure (esperanto, klingon, etc). I'm not saying that Korean itse…

    His issue doesn't seem to be with computers _per se_, but rather the interaction of all the junk that comes either on a new Windows system or via the default installation process f…

    What's one of the reasons? That Django makes it incredibly easy to write functional, interesting template tags?

    I'm not sure what the deal is with all the criticism on here. Yeah, it wasn't all that hard - but that's the point. This is a good test of a basic level of skills one needs these d…

    I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I've been quietly following you on the net for quite some time. You seem like one of the nicest people I've never met. Can I buy you lun…

    Ask HN: anyone else watching with horror/fascination as reddit turns into /b/?

    That's a CMS, so long as you limit your definition of "content" to photos and video. Also, I find it poor form to expose the Django admin interface to your users in place of develo…

    Your comment is great. Can you expand on your 3rd paragraph? Why will you never work with it again and what byzantine constraints did you find? I'm wondering if there's some aspect…

    It seems like Drupal always gets dumped on for having a crappy codebase (see xinsight's comments as an example). Admittedly, I've not spent a lot of time in the Drupal codebase, bu…
