meh forgettable white table cloth bistro...there have to be fifty such places in the Bay Area okay they get props for being early in recognizing Palo Alto as a night out ...but lit…

Jing Jings is a nice Hunan place that has been there forever and will be there forever (I assume they own their building)... everything else is meh and transient. I miss Sushiya an…

It's true, you can't walk it off, you need to run to work up a sweat. You can outrun your own depression. I don't care who says otherwise.

You must be new here. HN is for precious snowflakes.

We do but they are awful and flawed...Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk etc...we revere the rich as if they were gods. I would not be surprised if John Gruber has prayed to St…

Stalin grew up in a rigidly religious family, which extended to his early education. He was clearly psychotic, was beaten as a child, and maybe not even an atheist as an adult, who…

everyone on HN is gifted! they even have a degree to prove it! keep the downvotes coming, it just confirms how "precious" HN is

I'm not the one curled up with a dog-eared copy of The Bell Jar weeping "oh whoa is I"... If you really want some pop psychology...the HN generation clearly lacks in proper father …

Just get on a plane en route to Aleppo and your petty Western suburban crisis will evaporate instantaneously upon arrival

They mention their existing solar capacity in the article. Presumably this will also grow over time. Doing anything at sea would surely be 10x as complicated and expensive...Texas …

Obviously, but we sneer at them and regard them as knuckle-dragging baboons...but maybe they just accept a base lie so they can dispense with navel-gazing and get on with life. Thi…

Yes I am sure everyone indulges nihilism for a week when they realize our cultural mythologies of fixed morality, final judgement and eternal rewards are replaced by the inevitabil…

These landmines show that the Go language compatibility guarantee was made too early.

I love the idea of a "read only" map (or any other type), but it seems it is just a side-effect landmine in this case. Yuck...almost strikes me as a bug as described in the article…

If only one could go back in time and fix the weird overloading of nil for pointers and interfaces...it is the one breaking change to the Go1 language guarantee that seems worth it…

Last I checked the average corporate lifespan in the US is 25 years, so these numbers don't seem abnormal to me. Indeed it is amazing that IBM is even still around. I find it more …

Anyone can call themselves a unicorn

Speaking as an "old" (46), most of my colleagues have truly rotted out. The typical HN reader will be given to self-improvement and curiosity...but outside of this bubble many othe…

I'm 46 now and holding out until I get to 50, at which point I fully intend to promote myself to employers as a token they can put in their diversity promotional material they prom…

You don't necessarily sacrifice those when choosing a third party. We all apparently work in related industries...do you and your colleagues sit around and dream up ways to exploit…

You are always partially in someone else's hands unless you happen to own a private, dedicated connection to your client.

Agreed. OpenStack is a total dumpster fire, yet still companies like RedHat push it. I narrowly avoided a long term (career-derailing) OpenStack assignment...four days in...oh, thi…

So what. 95% of the poseurs doing "angel" investing are in it for the scene, the cachet, the parties, the "networking", the name-dropping etc etc. Rothenberg gave people what they …

> university is a place where people should go to learn about things that interest them and inspire them in the company of other like-minded people whilst simultaneously growing as…

Not only that, but "tradespeople" start earning right after high school. That four-five year head start is more meaningful than people realize. You could be making a down payment o…
