I love broadening HN's topics list in the spirit of curiosity.

My vision gets worse as I age. A larger screen lets me continue working with the same amount of code, etc. as when I was younger with a smaller screen.

Good grief, imagine if it had been an oboe.

Are you sure they're all lazy?

Another pretty common experience for developers is wanting to do things "the right way", but being overridden by management.

Are you sure that a lot of individuals hold those contradictory positions?

Or do the contradictions only exist across multiple persons?

(Tangent: anyone know if there's a term for this fallacy? I.e., claiming that an attribute exists for some/all of a group's members, when in fact that attribute only applies to the collective itself?)

Worth mentioning that RiffTrax has a large catalog of riffed shorts (and a few lousy films) that don't require that.

E.g., two of my favorites: "Shake Hands with Danger" and "More Dangerous than Dynamite".

And the ones dubbed by Bridget and Mary Jo are great! Before them, the only narrator group I really liked was Mike+Kevin+Bill.

Have you made any of this work public?

It sounds really interesting.

Yup! Step 1: fill your printer with two liters of distilled water.

> someone making diamond hands.

To what is this referring?

I got the Hitler reference, but not this one.

One of my favorite kitchen hacks is to make batches of roux and then freeze it. I break off chunks when and as needed.

That's because your comment is only 3 levels deep.

Let's revisit this when it's Reply to Reply to Reply to Reply :)

Or "Watson". I lose track.

I think it's an interesting question. Whether or not it can be discussed well here isn't so obvious.

Is it possible for you to name the KVM model?

It sounds like a potential risk is to the public.

I'm probably 30 years late in asking this, but why does it strike you as an important distinction?

> It seems like every organization in America is compromised in some way if you dig deep enough.

I agree, and my view is that it goes much further. Quoting author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:

"The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart—and through all human hearts.".

I think the term is "frontier trolling".

Well that's the origin story for the main character on Solo Leveling, so...

Actually, I probably shouldn't make this comment publicly. It could cause another 3-5 programmer-isekai anime series.

Presumably the tense refers to the time of the reading, not the time of the article's existence.

I was interested by the part in the middle talking about society not tolerating women stepping too far out of traditional roles.

I'm a 50-ish years old American man, and I just don't notice anything like that in my own attitudes or of those around me.

I wonder if one or both of us have biased vision, or alternatively maybe we just live in different societies.

Same for me. I think this experience is pretty common amongst people diagnosed with AD[H]D.

Wouldn't that be true of all cast metal objects?

Or are some metals impervious?

I was damning with faint praise.

> What good has Microsoft done for the world other than digital pain and suffering?

Minesweeper was kinda fun.

> The problem is that Cybertruck drivers are likely to have a boisterous driving style

What leads you to believe that?

FYI, I'm not seeing how this relates to the story or discussion.

That might explain the current downvotes.

I agree. I think it's unlikely that negative effects can go unnoticed for very long, but in the short term I'm only like 97% sure we're getting the full story.

That said, it's probably certain enough for me to be open enough to using them now, if my doctor recommends it.

Is it possible that some of that personality change was because you were running a calorie deficit?

I'm not dismissing your overall point. I minimize my use of Adderall for that very reason.

I'm surprised that tacos are a big deal. I'd have thought that the filling (meat, cheese, veggies, maybe beans) would mostly outweigh the carbs from the shell.

> chemo is far more extreme than GPL1.

Which is ironic because someone at Microsoft once called the GPL "cancer".
