I love Tim Dodd! I'm actually really surprised to see him show up on hacker news. I've been watching his youtube videos for quite a while now. Anybody else interested in space stuf…

but were all 30k jobs listed? I'm assuming the positions listed were nowhere near close to the positions they need to hire for. As in, they probably havent even listed for a lot of…

just as an fyi, most people take mortgages for anywhere between 2 and like, 5 times their annual salary. I think my mortgage right now is about 3x my salary. So dont worry about th…

i seem to recall something about some carbon technology recently that is supposedly the next big revolution in semiconductors, and might revive Moore's Law? I wanna say it was abou…

I mean, to be fair, everyone thought the soviet union was ironclad, and a lot of people were surprised when it fell. that said, i'm not optimistic that communist china will reform …

im a little perplexed why the phrase 'oral' was at all used here. It literally means "spread by word of mouth" -- but this is a text format. although this is probably a little bit …

i have a tesla model 3 and i believe that multiple smaller sessions are better for the longevity of the battery. elon has said that 'a plugged in tesla is a happy tesla.' you're al…

This video series singlehandedly inspired me to delve into hardware (i'm a software guy). It's INCREDIBLY well done, and easy to follow. Fast forward to now, when I've blown severa…

36 yo here. I've found that it is incredibly easy to 'overthink' and therefore overengineer things, and I've seen a LOT of my coworkers fall into that trap. Analysis paralysis is r…
