This is why I got an accountant who set up the aspects of my side-hustle business I'm too stupid^H^H^H^H^H^H lazy^H^H^H^H busy to sort out. Yes I could have done this all myself bu…

yeah. not easy. 33 strokes per minute. set to 10 resistance on concept2. proper form. go for 30 minutes. I'm unconvinced this is an easy thing for an unfit individual. I'm fairly s…

CEOs should be experts in delegation otherwise they'll get bogged down in some thing they really shouldn't even be thinking about, let alone doing. Letting go should be a common re…

Side note: all this off-topic pedantry about octopi vs octopuses is an old discussion already resolved. It is clouding discussion about what the full implications of what it actual…

A twenty something wasting 5 hours is wasting future benefits of using that. The opportunity cost is horrendous. Multiples of any later hourly rate because of how early its wasted.…

I like this. I'd like similar for pizza as well. The real joke is the fact that most Italians look at US coffee with a sense of either vague or specific disappointment. Does not ma…

Or they could use instead use CSVs. What could possibly go wrong?

I can see the benefits of this collection of tools within an all-in-one monolith. Ease of deployment is a big benefit. I can also see the costs. As a stack its probably better in s…

Hmmm. I'm not keen on giving my DNA profile to China. This seems like an unwise thing to do. from Newsweek: "China is also getting the DNA of Americans by buying American companies…

The monitor I had wasn't capable of 1024x768. I got that custom resolution using a manually defined modeline determined through experimentation. It wasn't a simple VESA style displ…

CDE? That's an acronym I haven't heard in a long time. Still being developed? Very nice. Brings back happy memories of running oddball screen resolutions on X Window. 1000x800 I th…

Alternate cause of SkyNet: a distributed horde of unicode renderers become self-aware. Emojis become command and control codes.

Give it a few years and unicode will probably be turing-complete. For reasons... likely not good ones though.

Not unprofessional at all to leave this kind of madness the moment you find something better or, if things are really bad and you can afford it, tomorrow. If there was cost cutting…

Sometimes I feel like Microsoft should just put Windows into an image all by itself. One big file (VHD or similar). Then each application gets its own separate image file. After al…

People seem to have this weird idea they are a head on some kind of separate body vehicle. Your head is an integral part of your body and is reliant on its systems and structures. …

I feel like there was a loaded gun next to the head of each of these projects. Plus, I don't think the projects were duds. They were instead simply buds - still too immature. Exact…

Looks like a great excuse to watch every Bond movie. For science. Well played.

"prop"?

Yeah, the downvote I got for this comment kind of proves my point. Which is why I rarely post or comment. This is not stopping me from using HN as such but there are plenty of post…

My point still stands: knowing that something doesn't work is useful. The post I was replying to was attempting to justify mocking. As if that is something worth doing. I've spoken…

The "downvote due to disagree" thing really annoys me. That and making the text become washed out. I hate it. Especially when I've seen excellent unpopular comments disappear becau…
