Fiat game mechanics force them to "invest" in "productive" assets in order to stay ahead of inflation. Scare quotes used because a ton of the price of those assets now reflects a m…

Nock has a small surface area and is very straightforward. I suppose if your brain has trouble mapping the numbers 1-12 to function names, it could be challenging.

A lot of people have learned it without that much trouble. It’s possible you’re just not particularly bright, no shame in that.

> Although I'll admit that since my employer is looking at 100% remote, it opens the door to moving to a nicer/cheaper house outside of the office-commutable bubble. This is the ke…

Wait, the government gives investors essentially infinite cheap credit, resources get allocated in an incredibly perverse manner, and it's Friedrich fucking Hayek who has it wrong?…

Theoretical articles like this ("proving" that X won't work) are almost always doomed to be wrong, because you can't enumerate all possible ways that something COULD work, but won'…

I’m surprised Google et al. haven’t been forced to make more contractual disclosures at the time of a user submitting an extension or app. Absent blaring warnings like “you underst…

I’m torn here. 1. I agree as to the need to get off the Google lands. 2. Being able to create business relationships to build on other people’s property and work without fear of th…

Yes, and usually the people they worked with or learned from were also extremely talented.

Awesome. To put my own money when my mouth is, here is the bash script to start up a nREPL server in Docker: https://pastebin.com/PPmfDPyA Here is the Dockerfile: https://pastebin.…

As someone who uses Clojure a lot: It would be a lot better for language adoption if people would write more blog posts showing best practices for tooling, and less vague stuff abo…

This article was definitely not about what I thought it would be.

Now ask the airplane engineers about the F-35. Voting apps are basically political money laundering schemes. Using them to make comments about software vs other industries suggests…

Employee compensation does indeed raise the price the company has to pay. However, it doesn’t end up in government coffers, making it not a tax. This isn’t rocket science.

It effectively raises the price the company has to pay and thus lowers profits.

Regardless of the fact that he missed by a bit, this type of writing is way more valuable than the standard NYT/Bloomberg "OMG IS IT A BUBBLE???" articles?

This is (unintentionally?) a fairly strong argument against the desirability of democracy, at least as she is practiced in the US. This feels like a Unix poweruser telling grandma …

> IANAL Yes, that is abundantly clear from your post.

If their actual goal was to build up an endowment to survive lean times, their spending profile would be quite different. That may be an ancillary goal of theirs, but it’s demonstr…

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that HN is the HR department at your company. Pointing to someone's opinions and shrieking doesn't really fly here. Particularly when t…

I actually agree strongly: one of the best things in his writing is his references to primary sources, many of which I found extremely enjoyable to read. The past is a foreign coun…

The reason I found Yarvin’s (awesome) writing in the first place was because of a post like this on Twitter. I figured that if vinegar-drinking scolds hated him, he might have some…

Sure, but it also seems unlikely that anyone would be this dumb. OP’s point isn’t that Griffith is innocent, just that we’re likely missing some piece of info which would make his …

“But now maybe it’s time to get in the studio with some other people, who maybe don’t have your chops, but who are cooler than you, who listen to more hip-hop and dance music, who …
