Heat, Ronin and the Ocean's series are the trinity of heist movies. "For me the sun rises and sets with her, man." For any Heat fans reading this comment, Michael Mann co-wrote a n…

And yet I'm left wondering why the investors had such a bad reaction to its launch? Early signs point to this being a technological marvel, and despite the price tag I think it'll …

Sorta unrelated but I wanted to join in on everyone reflecting on their athletic careers: I worked at a mid-tier consulting firm as my first job and had an incredible work-life bal…

A brilliant man who elevated Asian representation on mainstream American TV. Rest in peace.

My French language classes, typically held in person after work, moved to online and over Zoom. Initially, we tried Google Meet and found it laggy and that we would often drop out.…

Cue the YouTube video of Michael Scott saying "No God, please no. Noooo!" uBlock was the AdBlock when AdBlock sold out. Now who will be the uBlock now that uBlock has sold out? And…

Thank you for making one of my favourite games of all time. I replay the single player campaign every year.

Will.i.am's failures and eccentricity (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prv5q84-Ebg ) are far more well known than his successes. I'm surprised he was able to raise so m…

The one on my MBP 2014 is definitely superior, but I don't mind it. Gets the job done, and I found it precise enough to work on corporate presentations, a place where neurotic deta…

Would love to see the processing chip for the star wipe!

Boy, the IBTimes has always been a terrible place to read articles, especially with its autoplaying videos, but now when you scroll down (after having stopped the video of course) …

I didn't know that there was a fivethirtyeight style in matplotlib. Tres cool!

This sounds so much like those ads that look for "8 years of Swift development experience" despite the fact that Swift only came out 3 or 4 years ago. The fact that a recruiter can…

It may still be an axe, but with a silent Y in the front. A 'yaxe', if you will.

I certainly had this in the back of my mind. But I knew someone who got hired doing the exact same thing - my contact. So I had good reason to think that this effort would be worth…

Long post warning - this is just a perspective about shitty HR in the vein of this post, not sexism, like the original Fowler post. Late last year at 10am on a Thursday, I got a ca…

Agreed - time and time again I'm surprised by the people that read HN. It seems to comprise of people who did some cool stuff 10,000 years ago, people who are doing cool stuff toda…

In the distant future, when they discover the endless jars of eggs and sperm in Mark Zuckerberg's basement, somewhere, Chris Holt will be saying "I told you so."
