tl;dr He eats mostly raw fruits and veggies and gets his liquids from those. He had an "Addiction" to processed foods. Clearly he has issues with food and is compelled to share it …

It's accurate. This book is being ripped apart by scholars across many different disciplines. It's a lovely piece of trash that makes Wolfe look as bad as this article suggests.

In the same paragraph where "Higher Dimensional Black Holes" is mentioned, the journalist hedges the outlandish suggestion with "But no theory yet captures the whole story. “I do n…

What is it with folks that fail to appreciate the power imbalance in society and how that makes it impossible to flip the genders in a situation to prove sexism doesn't exist. It's…

I'm more interested in finding a solution to the problem then I am about protecting my domain of knowledge, or insuring that my coworkers are aware that my domain is special and mi…

Has that never happened to you? You are stuck on a problem for what feels like forever. It's complex and difficult to keep completely in your mind at once. You've hit it from every…

I agree completely. Going a step further, as OP has and shutting down potential helpful new perspectives and solutions by implementing a "jar" is reprehensible. When I've been mire…

Having dealt with both, I'm split. I think, in the end, I'd rather model the DDLs and have everything point to separate database on the same server or a new namespace in the existi…

Speech can definitely be violence and suggesting otherwise trivializes emotional abuse and trauma faced by those that suffer from PTSD and other mental illnesses.

I don't think it needs to be Facebook to not be fucked, but I agree with OP that it could change it's user metrics to better affect behavior. Maybe similar to rep here on ycombinat…

Same here. I have an account, but I've never found any use for it. I've tried a few times, but it offers nothing that I want. I tend to be more "Social" on sites that focus on a sp…

If you are a developer worth your salt and not even registering on that scale, then I'm going to go with "Underpaid". Unless you live in like Bumstump, TX where you can buy a 4 bed…

A proposal, which was a PETITION, made by interns, that have absolutely no capital with which to bargain, let alone demand via petition, over the company's culture. It's insane. Th…

Banding together with other interns and petitioning the company to change their culture is crazy levels of naive. As an intern, you are most likely a net-negative. At best, conside…

The world is full of simplified programming languages. The problem with newb adoption isn't just a function of ease-of-use, the simple programming language must also interact with …

The smaller your penis, the more you pay for car maintenance.

I don't know where I stand on this one. Museum Hack seems overly protective of their pretty generic name. T&L either employs a lazy designer or a vindictive writer. None of the off…

That website has gained R/W access to my brain. It uses pointers and had to be compiled with /unsafe. It compelled me to write this comment. I've lost control of both my pointer fi…

Woah.. like there are even easter eggs in there. That's not what I expect when I use that color code. Also, are you high?

Hacker News Commentor Blasts WSJ's Paywall in Short Comment: pw;dr

That's my concern though. When you look at other enterprise-sized RDBMS you find tight integration at the "machine" level. Oracle's storage, for instance, uses "Blocks" which are s…
