Fuck you

In recent history I have worked a lot with Golang and also encountered the tendency towards globals being the recommended path. Specifically, I encountered it with logging, framewo…

Whatever. You obviously don't follow what I am saying at all so why bother.

I tend to be very flamboyant in the way I post and respond to post. Despite this I try hard to communicate useful information and speculate on why people hold different beliefs and…

Why in the fuck is sharing some knowledge of what I know about science that leads to people believing there is nothing outside the observable universe downvoted? I can see having a…

Could we tone down the spin on titles originating from our own community? Whether HN is an eyesore or not as is is a matter of personal opinion. A better title I think would be "Da…

The claim in the article, which is believable, is that many people either don't want to get the vaccine or don't show for some other reason during a single day. For some unknown ad…

You're right. The earth is clearly flat and that is a sensible assumption if you haven't left your local area or been in space or seen a picture from space. Or not. Flat earthers a…

Recorded history only goes back to 2600 BC. TLDR summary of article: Plain observation only shows 6 stars not 7 because the 7th is quite dim and close to one of the other stars. 10…

The person in the article doesn't seem to be in a high risk group. They state they pedaled their bicycle 5 miles to reach the scene. I get that the virus is dangerous for everyone,…

1. Google doesn't own or control "the internet". They can change Google Chrome however they want; so long as they are plenty of us who don't want whatever crap they are peddling we…

Oh noes! Social networks are dropping me. We need to rebuild the internet immediately so I can spread useless popular crap to all my followers. OMG OMG

Neither the title nor the summary say anything about the "observable universe". They make broad claims beyond that. The detail of the article in no way mentions that there could ve…

This is my point. We have no evidence either way, so it seems strange to me to blindly claim "this is everything".

My main response to this article is essentially the same question. I think the article is presuming some things to come to this conclusion. The main thing that is being presumed is…

Um. What? Is this the new "the earth is flat"? Space is infinite. I believe it goes on forever in every direction. Whether you can see whatever is out there from here in no way pro…

I do have multiple blogs and multiple Twitters, both under my real name and additional aliases. I unfortunately am not able to centralize these identities. Even this HackersNews lo…

Yes I agreed that for my experience and ability I get paid badly. It is one of the reasons I am a rather bitter and angry person. On the other hand, I still make a lot of money com…

The recent release of the details of Signal stack requirements is rather damning. I actually agree based on it that they are likely doing things badly. I don't though think that Mu…

This world gives zero shits about those with potential. Technology would be 100x what it is today if humans would stop being selfish assholes ( such as the vaunted hero of all of y…

A true visionary does not require technology, or at least definitely not computers.

As a child I took math books to bed with me. I only got a single question wrong on the math portion of the SAT, and frankly SAT math is extremely easy. I just wasn't taking it seri…

Paxil is an SSRI. They are ineffective in treating what is wrong with me. They also make me feel suicidal. I can't take them. The doctors who recommended SSRI in my youth have no f…

There is no "either-or" data type in Golang. That's why. It can only be accomplished by inefficient functional hackery. In C, you just make a struct, have a type present in the str…

I don't need any self analysis to know why I have so much hatred. I'm well aware to begin with. What you should be considering is what on earth made me this way.
