> I had to maintain it, almost completely alone, for ten years, before it was taken over by a competent team, and I could finally walk away. No you didn't. Younger folks reading th…

Thanks, my daughter loves it. She wanted me to tell you she's only 10 and got 2nd on the leaderboard.

Never understood why our industry seems unique in our willingness to do unpaid work for giant corps. Your compression library isn't saving the world, it's making it easier for amaz…

Alcohol temporarily helps but you pay it back with interest over time. It sounds trite but exercise and sleeping/eating better is really the only thing we have proof that works. (z…

Exercise. It's the silver bullet.

Don't. Do you enjoy playing games or do you enjoying making games? If you enjoy playing games don't kill your hobby, if you enjoy making games I would expect you'd already have a t…

This completely made up series of conspiracy-laden comments is what HN is now ... well, that and people getting very confused about what free speech is.

How did this become the narrative? Wikileaks was started by the Russian secret service, so of course they wouldn't leak their own stuff. Assange was a useful idiot to them.

You're missing the point of VC funds. Due diligence doesn't matter, incompetence doesn't matter, reality doesn't matter. What matters is if they can turn their 1 dollar into 2. Doe…

Ding ding, winner winner chicken dinner. Quick reminder that we're on a VC board that has participated in this shell game; this fraud that has stolen money from naive people. And b…

I hope people read this and really understand what it says. It Crypto had any intrinsic value this paragraph would be ridiculous ... but it's not. At least tulips were pretty to lo…

Giving out dangerous medical advice was on topic for the thread? Yes my comment was intentionally an attempt to derail a dangerous thread, it worked for a bit and I'm glad it did.

This thread is terrifying. No, covid boosters don’t cause MS. No, there isn’t a magical Mexican clinic that fixes everything. No, light isn’t going to cure you. Please stop giving …

Fair enough and you seem to be adding features fairly quick which is impressive to watch, but my point still stands. These benchmarks don't make me think Bun is fast, they make me …

Not rigged at all. Just a joke of a microbenchmark trying to equate a toy with an actual runtime. Bun may be great someday, but right now it’s missing such basic functionality that…

Miss? Russia is indiscriminately firing missiles into dense civilian areas for maximum terror. They did not miss.

Then say no to the meeting. And if you can't, find a job that treats you like an adult.

I wonder if anyone who upvoted this post actually tried it first. Be better HN, don't just upvote a post that matches your view of google.

No idea if this is you but the number of times I've seen an over eager employee (usually more junior but not always) think they've stumbled upon a great solution to a problem but r…
