I don't think these match up very well. While Gibson's most iconic guitar is the LP and Fender's is the Strat, they still make a bunch of different guitars that are NOT expensive, …

I bought my first bike here earlier this year aged 35. I took the MSF course at a Harley dealer and talked a bit about what bike might fit me best for riding as a casual/weekend ri…

I can't speak for all Western countries, but I live in an extremely humid area with high pollen from around March until November. High humidity means your clothes take forever to d…

Hispanic refers to Spanish-influenced cultures, not all of South America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic_America I think that's why it's largely considered Latin America in…

Mr Jumbo/PHP doesn't use an elephant logo. Is it the color you're concerned with? Mr Jumbo reminds me more of Bing Bong from Inside Out. Foxy/Gitlab logo is _very_ close. Moby/Dock…

I have recently been interviewing and people have been asking me very CS-specific questions that, quite frankly, never come up in my day-to-day work. Not only that, but they _haven…

I do. I've only had two jobs I truly enjoyed doing the 9-5 work for, all the rest have been a slog to get through to pay for my other interests and family-related stuff.

The school district my kids are in does this. High school starts 1 hour after elementary, and the buses just run the same routes twice.

While I appreciate the value people get from TypeScript, I do not use it and would prefer if it were optional (along with babel). Looks ok otherwise.

The drills don't make sense to me. If it's a drill to protect the students against one of their own, that student has also been in the drills and knows that quiet rooms still likel…

I've always liked Baltimore, but I never lived there. I used to visit every year when I lived up North, but since moving to Richmond, I haven't been up at all. I kind of miss the w…

> A five year old computer running a recent browser will also struggle with new websites. My _gaming rig_ is 5+ years old and still runs new games fine. I don't even know where you…

But why does it matter to a general user if there are real or fake users behind twitter accounts? It makes no difference to me whether I have fake followers or not, as I'm not goin…

I'm not saying it's lower, but you know the risks when you use the software.

You choose to give your data to Microsoft/Google/Facebook/whatever other private company you're complaining about. There is no agreement to give things to the NSA.

I've worked at quite a few companies in my time, and almost all of them have complete garbage for their internal tools. It's always perceived as "something we need, but it doesn't …

This is an extremely naive view of living situations and how "easy" it is to just move somewhere. I worked for a company in NYC for years and lived 8 miles from work. It took me a …

> Easy to procrastinate, easy to give false reports which then leads to regular overwork in the days just before a hard deadline. This isn't a remote problem. I see this _all_ the …

I don't find it difficult to be a casual user. I've disabled all email and notifications from them. I look at it maybe once every 2 weeks. There's nothing really ever on it aside f…

I never felt like I had any problems, to be honest. It was so quick and easy to write things, I never worried. There are a decent amount of plugins out there on github, though. Giv…

I still say Mithril ( https://mithril.js.org/ ) is where it's at. I am at a company now that uses Angular 4.x and I'm not impressed with it. IMO, it's a way to make JS seem more li…

We should only let people have one release of anything. That way there are no extra man hours spent on anything that some random guy on HN thinks is shitty.

There are extra lights on electric that go down to 7s. The fact is that the standard strings for acoustic are 12s and the fact that a usable acoustic starts at $500 new kind of sho…

Acoustic light strings are 12 gauge though, compared to electrics which are 9 or 10 gauge. There is definitely a large difference between those to a beginner. For what it's worth, …
