How on God's green Earth was this a personal attack?

Can this work offline or is this something I can invest a lot of time into and it could not work the next day?

I enjoy coffee, but for sleep quality reasons I keep caffeine to a minimum in the afternoon so my last cup is with my lunch. I've found that my ability to fall asleep and stay asle…

The thing is being a victim if a self-fulfilling prophecy. You have no idea what it's like to be another person. But if you are told that "people like you" will find it harder and …

Comparisons like this always make me cringe. Do we have to use cars as the comparison for things like this? As a person who identifies as a car in tech, this kind of comparison alm…

What are you even talking about? I've also been shouted down, talked over and the rest. What does that have to do with the analogy for which you felt the need to express disapprova…

>As a woman in tech, this kind of comparison almost always makes me want to disengage. And that's why there are not many women in tech. Stop taking things personally. I don't care …

Bitter almonds contain cyanide and are used in loads of traditional desserts.

Where does it say that he was surprised?

Many don't keep their US passport even if they can to avoid paying tax.

I've wasted entire days answering a few five minute questions and not being able to get anything done. IF you have a question, email me and I'll look at it when I can and maybe arr…

Because women actually don't see that to be a weakness in men.

Well the very comment you replied to has been detached for being "off topic".

Here on HN you'll be banned if you're not careful too.

"To sunset" is the worst verb I've seen a long time. Why not just "discontinue" or "phase out"?

Yes, it is. I can't say anything about being "more readable" but English is presumably "more readable" than isiXhosa for you. Reading is a skill that has to be learnt and practised…

While interesting, I can't see why any programmer would assume half of these ever. Why would anyone go out of their way to restrict place names to be in the "usual character set of…

Tighter security or nothing to leak, I would imagine.

Everyone has to work at some point in their life.

To be fair, ordering takeaway was just an example used in the article. I actually enjoy cooking, so it really wouldn't make me happier to order. I also like polishing my shoes and …

By "100% clean" do you mean no flicker, ie. they use the more expensive components? I invested in Philips LED bulbs about a year ago and honestly I can't fault them at all. I consi…

That is seriously annoying. Not only do they flicker, they are slightly blue as well. I have mistaken an Audi for an emergency vehicle in my rear view mirror on multiple occasions.…
