I remember the day when my dad gave me $100 in an envelope. One of the worst days of my life.

fwiw for all the praise that dang & co get, they moderated this website into this state. there is a "blessed" way to break the rules and be a total asshole to people here, and ther…

I never spent much time there but I have heard people say that. A part of me worries that I might have become the old "get off my lawn" type of person in some ways. I just don't re…

It's obviously subjective, but I have a feeling this community has descended into hardcore cynicism and cheap meta analysis of most article I care about. Maybe it's the times we li…

Don't be discouraged by the comment section here. HN is a cesspool at this point.

IMO the article was a great intro to the project and I really like how the thoughts were laid out. I got a lot of food for thought from it and I'd recommend that people read it. I …

Are the many who disagree that it is unreadable more than the people who agree? I have been involved with the language for a while now, and while I appreciate what you and many oth…

share all of your things with me, thief.

Why not? He was a part of a pretty radioactive network of people. I doubt that he just happened to hang with Epstein by mere coincidence, and it does raise some questions about how…

Not necessarily. "Quality" and "Security" can be tricky subjects when it comes to a shell. Rust itself is pretty great, but its HN community is made of cringe and zealotry - don't …

You should try your REGULATION trick with Lufthansa's customer support.

This might be the case if all your travel boils down to off season direct flights between major airports. In my experience, it has been rapidly going up in price and down in qualit…

I am excited about self driving cars, but self driving cars made by Google feels like a monkey's paw deal in the making.

There is nothing wrong with being dramatic occasionally! I wish there were a real science to help us understand ourselves more reliably too - but there isn't. But maybe we are slow…

yeah i get the if monkeySee(psychology) then monkeyDo(replicationCrisis); monkeyFeelSmart() algo. it's still a good article :)

Paul Bloom (the author if this article) is pretty legendary in the psychology realm. This is not your average run of the mill writer looking to tap into the doomer vibe. He makes a…

This type of pseudo-intellectual skepticism seems typical for HN, but the truth is that the NYC subway is an absolute horror show compared to the subway systems of equally or more …

perhaps "modern times" are modern because they adapt to the times, innovate, and replace what is old with what is new in pursuit of improvement.

It's a great UI to ffmpeg - I wish they gave it some credit on their landing page.

My main frustration with the person I was responding to is that a lot of the terms we are arguing about are ill-defined, and yet he's arguing them with a lot of vigor. There is als…

The big question is, can we find counterexamples to your model of reality in actual reality. And if we can easily do that, what does your apparent over-confidence about your statem…

I don't mind that it has that many points - I actually really like the work that guy did. What I don't understand is why all the comments are so weird. It's like everyone who had a…

having a bad day on the internet, huh?

I am not sure if you are really young, but you definitely sound like either nothing quite earth-shattering has happened in your life, or maybe some stuff has happened, but you have…

can you stop tone-moderating people who are trying to share how they feel about something?
