That's an interesting point, doesn't this depend on the expertise of the audience? I'm not a psych expert, so if I'm unwilling to go back to school to interpret both sides "perfect…

I argue it's relatively scathing, because Haidt's wording is much more dramatic, negative, and more aimed at a person than Ferguson's wording is. By "facts" I assume you mean claim…

As a layperson who doesn't understand psychology but is interested in science and peace, I felt that Ferguson's article (this HN post) was much less directed at a person (as oppose…

It's a huge space, so I wouldn't say it's easy. Also several ideas will just not be interesting to you at first, and many others will only be revealed as uninteresting after a whil…

For one person's anecdotes on the culture, read Exit Interview by Kristi Coulter. Amazing read IMO, and it explained a lot of how I've felt at Microsoft and Google.

I would add a couple games that moved me (Hindsight, A Memoir Blue). but I also have to mention not all of their titles are smash hits IMO -- I disliked Florence, Last Stop, If Fou…

Elm has stopped being updated. I naturally assumed it was quietly abandoned. https://elm-lang.org/news

That lines up with 1/1/70 0:00 UTC, but that's also hilarious.

As usual from Microsoft, the answer to the Visual Studio issue is, "Fuck you." Not a surprise, but I'm grateful for the Dolphin devs working through all this.

Many "senior engineers" are BS and are just posturing. To be honest, this idea alone has been really, really hard for me to understand personally. I learn a lot by watching other p…

Which part is bad, the worstcase part? I'm sleepy. I guess I meant a dishonest person giving positive status updates but basically lying about the progress or stealing credit. Coas…

Also, candos are trying to flag potential "warzones" and avoid them. Meaning, they don't want the job to become a constant battle with anxiety, users, other stakeholders' pressure,…

"It's that simple, and that hard." --Richard Hamming (but, he was talking about doing science)

Offtopic: on mobile I get a really awful ad that puts borders on the whole screen, and cuts off the article's words on the far left and right. I'd say I will never go to this site …

Certain people take their job seriously. You can judge that however you want, but they exist.

There are millions upon millions of people working in the entertainment industry globally, in some sense (videogames, TV, film, music, art) -- not even counting side hustles and ho…

I'd like to read this article but keep getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS. Sorry, your site seems broken.

I think a surprising amount of people already share this view, even if they don't go into extensive treatment with references like Dekker presumably does (I haven't read it). I sus…

I would have to guess you can't speed up to pass another vehicle (think bus or truck, or maybe a dangerous situation) and then you will piss off anyone in the fast lane who does no…

What's the motivation behind going to an article about a language upgrade, then proceeding to shit on language features that have been there even before Java 8?

I'm not a security pro, but the claim about "spun clickbait" doesn't hold for me. I thought it was new to me, and an attack possibility that I hadn't considered before reading. I d…

I may be alone in this, but I think these threats like jailtime for fraudulent research would have the side effect of discouraging researchers that don't even engage in that stuff.…

I got really pissed when the headline didn't match the puzzle specs. Still kinda cool to think about at least.

Not the same, but I wanted to say that when I was upgrading apps from .NET Framework to Core and above, I was surprised how many Framework packages not only had upgrades, but were …

I'm just going to write a comment without any criticisms or rudeness: Great work!
