If you pay closer attention, you can see that some of the designs rely on very deliberate placements of circles ; for example, eyes of the monkey and owl, and the nose of the whale…

I think there is a lot to learn from what you said, but I just want to remind everyone else reading your comment that it is anecdotal. I have experience with both research in physi…

Maybe my response was emotional, but if everyone is going to pile on and down vote, it would be nice to at least get an explanation -- even if it's just an emotional disagreement i…

I agree with most of your points, and I want the current government gone, but would you mind elaborating on the following? > ... but having written this and other anti-government s…

I second these. For anyone reading GP's comment, my take is that some expats do hate their home country. It's insanity that some people think that strict lockdown rules are an inva…

> You can’t automate the creation of software because the requirements are not known. It seems like the entire article is based on this sentiment. I read the article but I'm not su…

I second this, especially e-mail or calling. In retrospect, my urge to post and share something on social media is just an urge to satiate my ego and be noticed. I think the realit…

Could you elaborate more on what and why document annotation is in a "sad" state? Even with a regular PDF file there are many ways you can annotate it: highlighting, adding text bo…

Uh, I'm not an economist, but what you said doesn't make much sense to me -- isn't "the market clearing price" effectively the same as "people are paid the value of their work"? If…

I see your point and I agree that there is often room for intuition for most real-world problems, but I'm not sure that you have a valid argument there: not everyone clicking does …

And, in the meantime, Roblox is promoted in the App Store. For context, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20620102

My hypotheses are: 1. Some companies found a way to promote this type of blog articles past a certain threshold to stay on the front page long enough for... profits? 2. The demogra…

Thank you very much for taking the time to address my comment, it has given me some food for thought.

Maybe I'm joining the large amount of comments at the bottom for once, but this article is not just about someone who ended up being a teacher due to serendipity — he committed cri…

> I think company founders are often great, idealistic people. People who genuinely want to make the world better. I used to think like that, but I now think that's a skewed view o…

I feel that you have something that you feel is important but just stopped short of saying it. If that's the case, would you mind elaborating on it? I am interested because I am on…

Maybe I am wrong, but I would assume that the most sensible place to start with is the MDN Web Docs[0] in this case instead of looking for blog posts. Throwing out blanket statemen…

Based on the way the article is written, I assume that software engineering was not new to the author when he first started writing CSS. It seems strange to me to write an article …

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but it feels like there is a new trend in celebrating this type of articles that does nothing but repeat already-known concepts without references, adds…

I'm not sure the metal state that you are referring to really makes a difference in terms of deadline estimation. The way I see it is that, in the grand scheme of things, if you ar…

It seems remarkable that a short post with a shallow opinion, which only serves to confuse people who do not have a good grasp of themselves and others, is getting so much traction…

I set NoScript to disallow all JavaScript by default and whitelist those that I "trust" as I go, I have been doing that for a few years now. The friction in surfing doesn't get low…

For me Tailwind CSS solves a cognitive problem: I find that switching between CSS and HTML files reduces my development velocity substantially (maybe I'm getting old). I was always…

The apology is well-written, but I'm not sure it "it highlights all of garriott's mistakes, in detail, and places the blame squarely on his own shoulders". That was the first time …

There are a lot of good advice given to you already and I just thought I'd share some of my personal experience with you since I some of your experience are similar to mine mostly …
