Here is an example where I would have had a better day if I simply didn't show my skills to anyone https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=37308823

Sure. I'm the elitist, the coder who can't keep his job for longer than 2 years because he doesn't have any soft skill. At the moment I am literally considering quitting (my second…

Honestly when I accepted that clever code is bad code, my passion for coding died and now I just want to coast until I get fired and then go work at a phone repair shop I think whe…

I think it's sadder that developers would rather use an app rather than learning the proper command line for basic things like decoding base64

Many people living in these countries, know what's going on. They silently support the violent levels of censorship because they think our government is just as bad and often hypoc…

All I can say is.. Garbage collection, and memory management ("recycling"), are hard, lol.

That's good. And I am biased. I personally liked American and Japanese culture better anyways. Growing up in China, everyone I knew keeps telling me our culture is fake, reconstruc…

Yeah you are right that people are applying the wrong laws and expecting results. Ideally we would consider creating new laws. But it is hard to explain why a company's control ove…

Lol it's funny to summarize this discussion as: "we don't want to make a (seemingly) positive change because too many people rely on us to live in their 'backwards' ways".

If everyone can band together and generate N fake clicks for every 1 real click, And provide N wrong Captcha answers for every correct answer, Then we might just be able to send a …

> NEVER paste code you don't understand into the development console Tech companies have long achieved security by simply locking people out of choices that they shouldn't make. I'…

My point is book burning can cause backlash. Therefore so can deletionism. When the backlash happens, it's often already too late. But people are aware something was gone, that's w…

Yes but book burning had backlash, too. And frankly if we are really that stupid then we didn't deserve tech and culture in the first place. Might as well delete wikipedia. Let peo…

Frankly I say we let them delete all public backups of internet culture. Eventually there would be a backlash when this goes too far. Lots of games, websites and TV shows would be …

Wow! This might just be what I've been hoping for, since 2020. What I hoped for was more of a generic backend for multiplayer games. But this is even better. It looks like a next-g…

Yup that's a better idea.

Hopefully one day we will be advanced enough to start transforming the desert. It's not an easy task and I don't know enough about science or economics to say it's definitely feasi…

True. I am not asking people to just accept anything though. If you want growth, have at it. When my phone completely breaks, I would love to get a better hardware with more featur…

People don't really like each other enough to work for a positive future. And yet they all want to live in a populous city with amazing opportunities/infrastructure/environment/etc…
