I am diagnosed with EoE as a result of celiac disease. I've had a lot of success with Dupixent as a treatment--just wanted to put that out for HN should anyone be looking for new o…

It’s not hidden. It’s just on the bottle because it’s convenient for a keeper to reference.

Lots of outdoor gear brands are now selling repaired or refurbished used gear and clothing. Since used gear is pretty eclectic in selection it’s hard to find what you want by brows…

I think there's a good argument for Elixir and Phoenix. It's shocking how easy it is to do just about anything with it. An excellent database wrapper, incredible async story, beaut…

Well, North Dakota is pretty close. It is indeed very large but its population is only slightly larger than Luxembourg.

That sounds like inertial navigation with nav fixes, which predates GPS. It certainly does exist.

It feels that point is undermined when the accelerationists don’t succeed and only make a new equilibrium of killing the kid and replacing him. It feels to me more like a critique …

Are these hard to swallow? It feels like the author is pushing a particular tone when stating facts (with maybe a couple debatable points) that any software engineer would agree wi…

I play flight sim games and GFS is a major factor in my hobbies now. I’m over a year into converting a real F-16 throttle grip into a video game controller, and there’s no end in s…

What makes these libraries heart-pounding? Seems like clickbait. (Generally I prefer my heart rate to remain low while using libraries anyway)

I think you would be surprised. There are a lot of concepts that cross over—servant leadership, trusting subordinates with expertise, setting expectations of “what” or “why” and le…

DigitalBits also sponsored AS Roma, who are now playing with "SPQR" in place of their sponsor.

Philosophy is not a bucket where "soft" or "unskilled" knowledge work goes either. The author is doing themselves a serious disservice in not really explaining what about prompt en…

Most of the hidden proprietary tech at Goldman Sachs was built in the early 90s, so a bit less sexy than Erlang. Impressive in its own right though.

I have a suspicion that we both agree that both numeracy and literacy are very important, and picking the winner doesn't change a lot. That said, addition is a very low bar--I cann…

I speak for myself, not the original comment, but more the latter than the former. I think of it this way: "What needs to change to make teaching children and young adults appealin…

Teachers get a very superficial respect. They get lip service, but are not treated in accordance with the nominal respect they get.

1. Numeracy is just as valuable as literacy. Sure, matrix multiplication and integrals may not be useful day to day, but the article is talking about algebra. 2. I may be biased, b…

There are a lot of difficulties in math education in the US, but ejecting algebra from the curriculum just strikes me as utterly bizarre. A few other, major issues: * Math has a se…

Words get more precise as they get more exotic, and that is not always what you want. I saw it too much in college--students whipping a thesaurus to make their papers seem 'smarter…

In retrospect all history seems like it followed the inevitable course. I think we can certainly say that Nazi Germany were confident enough in victory to start the war.

It’s not pampering—-those movies continue to exist and continue to do well. Directors aren’t cutting content to make their movie look better on a niche website. For me, I lost my d…

An audit table is a similar, but not entirely equivalent tool. There are circumstance where both audit tables / soft deletes are appropriate, and where only one of the two is. Othe…
