This is a fascinating take that I've never really considered. Thanks

> It is just that these are risk-averse and socially shy men who tended to either not go to the school dance or if they did were glued to the walls, not getting picked by any girl …

Well, I have to spend about 7 hours a day inside on a computer, as I'm sure you do too! I have to spend my time doing 'something' while Jenkins does its thing :) PS. I'd say it's m…

But it's not flippant, it's genuine, that is the answer for these people. It is really that simple (for 99% of people). Yes there will be outliers that this doesn't work for, but t…

These tools aren't for helping people's mental health though, are they. They are becoming attached to fantasy beings and sad when they disappear. That is the OPPOSITE of healthy, a…

I understand this may be an unpopular take here on HN (it certainly isn't in the real world), but but I can't see these people as anything other than pathetic. Go out, get a hobby,…

I think OP is imagining Snake Plissken saying 'Metal Gear', as he does

We have 'freedom of expression' and case law, but these things end up having to go to court, so I think it being written in a constitution would be better.

Wow, I get this! I never knew it was something other people experienced, usually it sounds like doors being slammed or big bangs. It's really odd

If you believe what people say, instead of what people do, then you are going to be disappointed by many, many people in your life. It's a cliche, but it's true: actions speak loud…

It's against the rules to editoralise the title to be clickbait, it isn't against the rules to submit the literal title of the post.

Our job is to think about problems and solve them, I'm in completely agreement with GP

Can you give an example of 'shitty code'? We've got murmurs of Go being adopted by some teams so if you have first hand experience it'd be really useful

I'm not autistic, and I have the same issue with arbitrary rules, airports or other security theatre are a classic example. I'm sure there are many people out there that feel the s…

Wow, what a fantastic website. Thank you! It's great that it has other languages, as I'm fairly decent in English, but given that it's real examplse, and it highlights the text... …

I grew up playing Quake back in the mid 90s with M&K, so when the PS2 and XBOX came out and multiplayer shooters became really big (Halo, CoD, Medal of Honor...), I had a lot of ex…

It's very funny to me, as in the 90s when console FPSes first started coming out there were always debates on PC vs Console in school, and whether mouse and keyboard was better tha…

>The POD had a photo of the front door and the person. I recognised the front door as it was on a local estate. What more evidence do you need?

Because they all edit their articles 1984-style (We never said IDF were behind it / We never said there were 500 dead / We never said it was the hospital that was hit), instead of …

I am not a fan of the space combat, but barring that this is a fantastic game that I discovered very late on in my adulthood. The sense of adventure and exploration is unmatched IM…
