It's not good in some job negotiations if someone has a very clear picture of what your current net worth and income is. Also in some purchases companies could price discriminate m…

I wasn’t able to stomach the idea of Larry Ellison being able to silently nudge my political views so I just deleted the app. Without the allure of China being able to influence my…

Yup, that's the problem. They view people as peons. Not people with lives, ambitions, family and friends. The only way to correct that view is to disobey.

It's time to unionize. The top is out of touch and the valuations of these tech titans aren’t just staggering; they’re symptomatic of a system that values profit over people. These…

Ya. I think people that have better technical vocabulary and an understanding of what should be possible with code do better. That’s usually a senior engineer, but not always

There was only 64% election turnout in 2024. People are not as politically radicalized and polarized as media companies say to increase engagement. Some people are, but the problem…

I would not be surprised if governments pushing back against all foreign social media is a major theme of the decade. America is basically saying to the world right now foreign soc…

The return to office mandate at my company has definitely made most people at my company unhappy. Especially because it's obviously being done as a way to encourage people to quit.…

I meant overweight/unhealthy people losing weight would feel better. Totally agree that a heavier athlete wouldn't necessarily feel better with weight loss.

> On average, the participants lost 10% of their body weight; reduced their waist circumference by 11% percent; and had lower blood pressure, body mass index, triglycerides, blood …

The code, tests and data is the documentation. If the code is clear the documentation should be short description of features and purpose. Explaining how to setup a development env…

No because I believe in workers rights… and freedom of speech. Civil rights are important democratic principles.

Fair point. Banning a social media platform because of topics discussed though seems like a dangerous precedent to set. Seems like a free speech issue to me though. I think most pe…

Due to freedom of speech being a core value of democracy and censorship/information control being a core value of authoritarianism.

There’s a culture war, not a real war with China. If we censor the CCP just like they censor us then we are just as authoritarian as them.

Because if we’re willing to export propaganda and unwilling to receive any in return then we’re a nation of hypocrites.

I don't think tech courses or certificates have ever been a top consideration when reviewing backend engineer qualifications. Only if we're hiring for a specific technology that's …

Yea a lot of game theory is built on the arbitrary axioms like that people will follow a given strategy with given information, or that there’s common knowledge. In reality people …

I mean yes writing the wrong query will give you the wrong results. But there’s nothing inherently risky with a left/right/full join. I could make the same argument about inner joi…

Well another way to think about it is that onboarding new folks is the only way to really check if your following a sane software development practice. If it takes folks more than …

Isn’t that a dangerous amount?

Hey HN, Looking for recommendations on books, courses or projects to learn natural language processing. I have a background in statistics so I understand things like probability, l…

A company should demand the documentation they need to understand things when the feature is under-development or shortly afterwards. Documentation takes time. It's their fault for…
