I did all of my note-taking on paper in school. I felt like I had to to keep up with complex visualizations and concepts. The habit has carried with me. I still keep those notebook…

letters of FAANG, meaning their jobs that paid more were more laid-back

lol having a HN account isn't a pre-requisite to being in tech

Queen-size bed with memory foam. Bed frame from Ikea. 3 blankets: one soft fleece blanket, one comforter, and one 25lb weighted blanket to keep me from kicking in my sleep. The wei…

Rather than 'up and down', I think the visual is supposed to be 'up and back' (like forward and backward). English is fun

thank you for your detailed response. I have some family in Germany and have thought about trying something similar, so I love to hear others' experiences.

Did you move from US? What is the process like?

I don't really care one way or the other, but my impression is the group offers a setting for like-minded (read 'higher-IQ') individuals to come talk about anything and not just th…

I got to play HL:Alyx recently and it felt sooo awesome to peek around corners. I definitely want more bodily interaction in VR as it grows.

Haha you would be right then. Only saw some geothermal vents and hot springs but yeah, there is a lot of earth activity going on there. Definitely exercise caution when parading ar…

Not been near a volcano, but Iceland also has a very sulphuric smell in general, like eggs almost. It is in everything like the air and the water.

I want to piggyback off this comment and also throw in HL:Alyx for VR Games. I was honestly blown away by how good VR felt, VALVe did an amazing job and I think/hope it sets the st…

echoing Scratch, it was what my class learned when we were 12 and had a good learning experience w/ it.

This is suggesting a technical support, not a rah-rah support.

It probably felt rushed because of the rinse/repeat of all preceding seasons (group experiences success only to have it dissolve before their very eyes)

I've had friends tell me NieR: Automata is one of the best 'artistic' games you can buy for PS4. Though the combat and dialogue is pretty, uhm, Square-Enix-ish, it is one of my fav…

Oblivion was released way earlier than 2013 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion

I have straight up gotten a 3 hour ad that was just a lo-fi beat mix but it was an advertisement! What??

As these trends sort of become more and more prevalent, I am so shocked at how David Foster Wallace had nailed this prediction in his book Infinite Jest. Humans becoming more and m…

Are people really leaving Richmond over protests? I understand maybe those up along Monument Avenue feeling a little unsafe but things have noticeably died down. The city is alread…

There is a famous youtube video the above poster is referencing. Search 'MongoDB is web scale' or something along those lines.

The S&P 500's expected annual return is 10% except when it isn't. S&P (and the rest of the market, really) can depreciate over a year and you'd just be losing your money.

Yes, the first conditional of your question is mandatory to successfully follow through and complete an academic career in Physics. I really loved Physics growing up as a student. …

Please please please do not pursue a PhD or MSc in Physics on the sole expectation it will open a door to a career that you believe would otherwise be closed. You will not enjoy it…

DuckDuckGo was roasted when it was initially introduced to HN (mainly for the thought-to-be silly name IIRC).
