I think the post invites a question to all the HN responders: What would it take for the computer [software] you are using to run at its full blazing potential? The answer is - if …

How about just Hacker News, expanded with some machine learning to determine the topics I would be interested in. My 'friends' or connections don't supply me with nearly enough of …

Great anecdote that, a real classic - previous experienced engineer couldn't get the cooperation and information he knew he needed to do it properly so barely started. Newer inexpe…

Key point: quantify the shinyness of the turds, so that HR screen likes the look of the CV, and be prepared to talk about turd shinyness and why it would matter.

"Created a new CMS in python (Based on the old CMS) (With a team of 2 others and one guru who did the design but I wrote his code) resulting in 70% reduction in update times (after…

I'm glad my asuss eee is gone now, but in 2011 it was a fabulous travel aid for exploring italy - keeping us out of icky internet cafes and keeping us entertained on the long slow …

You prompted me to think of fitness - as someone who has accumulated fitness I still feel like I am suffering a lot when I run, and I can take that suffering as a bit like winging …

I like it. It still carries a little bit of whimsy and puts a smile on my face (while nodding).

Definitely saving that, translating it to interview-compatible speak, and springing it on future employers. Actually I need to translate a good 75% of grug's teachings to interview…

I definitely will need a "Jump to the recipe" button for Twitter notes. You've found an interesting topic and decided to use that to practice your medium-long form writing - but ha…

Fair enough - based only on the couple of super-minor artists I've stumbled upon who have put on an album or EP's worth of tracks at once (4-10 or so).

There are steps missing, perhaps - Artists with only 2 songs on Spotify are probably fake, there are odds they are the property of Spotify themselves and have been carefully create…

I like that this is such a wholesome topic we can safely debate on the internet. There are clearly good arguments for and against the change to permanent DST, so I will safely igno…

I've been looking for the comment to explain what I see as the most significant factor in flat earth belief, which would be - missing respect for scientific authority. It's possibl…

I would like to hear people's thoughts on how to coach a junior on how to get a 'second brain' (new term for me) going. Plenty of your average new developers won't have the experie…

I think I'm wired with the potential to eat more than I burn because the opposite is dangerous (long-term) and its hard to anticipate future burn when I eat. There would need to be…

Yeah but that has to be a side gig, not perfect but it's pretty common for humans to not be perfect. You have to believe he loves stand up comedy, loves the UFC, is blown away by t…

I enjoy that he asks the stupid questions (or the questions that I would feel too self-conscious to ask) of those experts. It is such an excellent contrast to a stale interview wit…

My favorite is the times when I have dived in to fix performance of the system, found the place where I or a team mate left in a terribly unnecessary loop or increased complexity, …

I'm pretty sure its about time that Windows guessed what I am trying to do when I am looking around inside a folder. Right-click, offer me the shortcut to create a file similar to …

Perhaps what is immoral is when the volume of advertising and the workload it places on the brain becomes too much. The coffee shop with far too many flyers or 7 by the same local …

I agree selective freedom of speech is hard. Probably too hard. I tend to support selective augmentation of other people's speech - "fact checkers have shown this to be inaccurate"…

The GoT analogy continues if we think that as the TV show continued, certain book plot points were missed out, overlooked, or perhaps even negated by decisions made for the show. B…

Imposter syndrome for me is kept in check if I keep within my 'quota' of mistakes. It doesn't bother me if I am the author behind a bug (Normally every bug is an opportunity to und…

Just to those who downvote - if someone poses a question or argument which you think is easily refuted, by downvoting or removing that question you remove the opportunity for anyon…
