Break the cycle how? Every time one of these threads come up I suggest buying a domestic full size 90’s truck instead and nobody gives a shit. The only things that gain traction in…

These HN threads about trucks are amazing. It’s like watching the same movie over and over again * Kei trucks are the coolest. Big gubment is making it so we can’t register them du…

They already have the form factor, it’s called a Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger. They are bigger than Kei trucks because they have actual safety features.

> You can do the job of a $50,000 pickup using a machine that is half the size of a Honda Civic No you can’t

The author mentions not wanting a Ranger or Tacoma, but I still think those are better options especially considering the drivers position… Even better is a 80’s/90’s full size 2 d…

Threads was on the front page for an entire day or two. A sizable percentage of the entire lifetime of the App. Twitter and Musks other ill-adventures will continue to dominate HN …

Had this same thought. Our own eyeballs distort how we see the world.

Lemme modify the writers words for you to more accurately describe the phenomena : “I suspect it’s easier to teach a good waitress to be a writer than an intellectual to be a good …

You could also replace the phrase “hold accountable” with “micromanage” and be just as accurate. If you hire slackers, be prepared to be amazed at how much work they’ll do to bypas…

By entire industry I mean web developers, which is a cohort that usually has more non-traditional educations and tends to think in a async mental model. What you explained happens …

Great for solving the typical problems encountered in a web browser. But a real fucked up mental model to bake into an entire industry’s worth of developers

C++, OOP, and whatever crazy async shit is going on in JS ruined the conceptual model of “code” for going on 2 generations of programmers. We do students a disservice teaching them…

Otherwise known as “your CS degree has shockingly little to do with this god forsaken login page we’re designing” I’ve had so many long conversations with early-mid career develope…

Of course the globe warming 3 degrees isn’t going to cause human extinction. But it will kill hundreds of millions due to inevitable war and genocide over the changing landscape. T…

What kind of sea states can you fly in? Any regions in particular that are more cost effective regarding weather?

Other than Lake Washington, the sound is stereotypically windy. Ground effect vehicles don’t work real well in windy / choppy conditions Though it seems like they have some special…

Is the CEO some sacred object that should be treated differently than any other part of the org? Just because there are a handful of C-level execs, they deserve 20,000% bonuses whi…

The thing city denizens seem to not understand is that this fair-weather truck user is exactly who the F-150 was designed for. It was designed to be unladen 95% of the time. All th…

Hauling equipment. Hauling water. Hauling any sort of aggregate. The payload of an f150 is ~2500 lbs. you’ll exceed that with four 230lb iron workers and a toolbox or two in the ba…

The only people driving F-150s around job sites are management with a stipend. Half ton trucks are a lot less capable then most people think, and are primarily targeted to the form…
