People here post a lot of dumb shit. Somebody has to correct them.

My ratio of non-flagged vs. flagged/downvoted comments is still rather high. I don't control why other HN users dislike what I have to say but I'm consistent.

Because you'll buy one regardless.

Interesting. I feel like I can consciously choose to like or dislike people. Once you get to know people better, your image of them evolves, and the decision to continue liking the…

>Maybe there are some weirdos out there that feels unconditional love isn't love, but I have never heard anyone say that. I'll be that weirdo. Dogs seemingly are bred to love. I ca…

It's exactly as hidden/opt-in as the Stripe crypto settings, where Stripe was completely shit on in 20 comments about scams, scamming, and scam currencies. Downvoters hate having t…

>As an expat I’m really sad to see how spineless my fellow Canadians are You ran away, you spineless coward?

You're all not getting it. They only want to see somebody who can get working code and a glimpse of their thought process. But from 100s of mediocre examples, the better coder will…

It means that he created a tool, with his skills and capabilities, that is a force multiplier for other Google engineers. This is a straight up undeniable example that his capabili…

Am I missing something or is the use of "GitHub" weird here? Are they GitHub employees? None of the creators seem associated with GitHub. They're _users_ of GitHub, nothing more.

I love open source. My cynicism isn't about open-source, but about the OP's first post being "these docs suck, snaps fingers maybe one of you non-devs can work on it."

In Canada big metro cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal), the spreadsheet will most likely tell you that you should have bought on sight instead of making a spreadsheet.

This sounds made up tbh. I mean, I agree it's common to feel this "pressure" but the day you discover the pressure isn't real is the day you level up. And I charge plenty for fixin…

Tangentially related. I was trying to describe to a friend of mine how being discerning after a few years of experience means I do less work (or toil) for a better outcome, and why…

This is what Triplebyte pretended to be. Then companies who got your resume from Triplebyte just whiteboarded you again anyway.

Passing one significant whiteboard interview once is all you need, that's your "licensure." Flip a coin whether I'll ace or fail a random leetcode question but after the one and on…

>MMA fighters, for example, put themselves at tremendous risk because they're chasing their own personal ideas of "greatness." And there are many examples of "struggling artists" t…

Every dev here loves throwing unglamorous volunteer work to non-developers, acting as if it's a favor.

So is the feature missing or is your support ticket open?

Seconded, happy Proton customer for years since de-Googling my life. Par for the course at HN to have a "vaguely dislike-ish" relationship with Protonmail. Fastmail is the poster c…

Which non-Western utopias have avoided addictive substances? List them.

My personal rule is to rewrite specific solutions many times (all similar to each other) until I have "learned enough" to start thinking about an appropriate generalization (versus…
