There's an easy solution to this - it's called the information:action ratio. Actions include reading deeply, writing, coding, etc. For every piece of information you consume, you in general, want to produce twice that.

> Some open code carries relatively light requirements, for example: “Don’t use my code commercially (don’t sell it or use it in something you sell)” and, very basically.

How can anyone even enforce this? Why can't I take some code, create a SaaS product for drug dealers, and then go sell it to my Opp Daquavion Marshawn III down the block? Who will ever find out?

One underrated benefit of using Anki is you become a god. In a meeting, when I can recite the Q1 revenue along with the names of everyone working on the project, everyone automatically becomes submissive to me because they think they have just observed a superior intellect.

He won't tell you obviously because he's a selfish person who dosen't want to aid the competition.

yeah exactly, as a man, you should focus on increasing your status in society, and through those activities that increase status, you ultimately find meaning.

hahaha this was funny

I would recommend listening to Andrew Tate.

Saying "it's not something men in my generation do" might be offensive to some people especially at these left-leaning woke tech companies. I know you're autistic so just thought I'd drop some advice.

If I had a kid, I would be so proud if he was a bully. Bullies are alpha males. I wouldn't want my kid to be some geek beta male programmer.

My life is incredible. I'm banging 10's. I go to a top tier university. I'm on track to make 250K+ at my first job out of college.

I'm literally 21, and I'm killing it in life. I'll tell you what motivated me to write this comment - I had an observation about his actions, and I told it to him like it is. I don't use Discord that much because I'm not an autistic weirdo like OP.

Does anyone find it weird that the General Conference of Weights and Measures has acronym CGWM instead of GCWM?

That's what he means.

realistic daydream != practical idea

realistic daydream is like an oxymoron because it conveys the idea that it is unreasonable for most people, but practical for him.

This is why I love hackernews. I hated the article, but I couldn't phrase why. Comments like this articulate what I'm thinking.

I like the regex touch

This is not to be confused with Decision problems which is a class of problems that have a boolean output.

How are people on this website so smart.

There are homeless shelters and food stamps.

Writing C without considering memory management is equivalent to writing conditionals, loops, functions, and primitive data structures which is what anyone can do with a 2 day codecademy course.

I wonder who they consider "Apple employees". After doing the math, they are claiming that the average Apple employee makes 68K a year. I don't know if I buy that.

This is so aptly named. Is this a common naming?

This is exactly what I was trying to describe. People on HN are so much smarter than me lol. I used the word "informal", and you expressively described what I was intending to communicate.

I think he meant that he dosen't have a huge professional network, just something slightly informal.

I found his comments about giving up sex a little weird on the last article.

Because my purpose in life is to "crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women". Doing my job satisfies that life path.

ADHD isn't well defined. I'd say lots of folks who aren't "traditionally ADHD" exhibit this behaviour.

The hyperbole in your statement is not obvious.

"I have started assuming that most of the people here have some kind of side project that makes them money"

I would assume the former - that they have a side project, but not the latter part of that statement - that it makes them money.

I have about 3-4 serious side projects along with a lot of smaller stuff on github. Only 2 of them make money, with one of them taking the lion's share.

This side project operates in a niche space - it's basically a SaaS for an area that works in pretty antiquated ways. I manage it by recieving emails from the users and copy pasting them to github repo in the form of issues, and I respond to the email.

For the self discipline part, honestly, I feel this strange sense of craftsmanship/ownership mindset when it comes to these projects, and there's a natural "pull". When I slack off, there's usually some underlying issue at play. Most people just reprimand themselves, but I dig deeper and find the thing that's bothering me. For example, maybe I'm not getting enough exercise/sleep or something is deeply disturbing at work/school. I don't feel guilty about not working (maybe that's just me).

I don't really see the project as "work" because it's what I want to do, so there is no balance to be established.

but for most people, they are respected, so for "the respected", it is a justified pursuit.
