burner556··on Alan Turing using math to repair his bike
I just smash my hand in the blades after each pull of the chain and eyeball the acceleration when it starts moving again. Who’s with me?!
burner556··on Tell HN: Job interview canceled due to looming recession
Worked at gaming company. Everybody I know including me extremely bearish on NFTs. Good luck.
burner556··on Ask HN: How Do You Cope (As a Programmer) with Mental Fatigue?
I smoke loads of weed and drown my sorrows in alcohol. Adderall to get me started in the mornings. It’s not sustainable but i take 2 months off every year to prevent mental breakdown.
burner556··on The Supreme Court Just Said That Evidence of Innocence Is Not Enough
Well the right wing isn’t trying to nullify the second amendment, they haven’t caused massive inflation, they haven’t caused a gas crisis, I’m ok with their nutso god and abortion beliefs as it seems like the lesser evil.
burner556··on Guns, Privacy, and Crime
If you were armed too they probably would think twice.
burner556··on Windows XP Delta Edition
The implication that Microsoft operating systems are anything but pain and misery does not Compute.
burner556··on Ask HN: I'm in a bad situation and desperately need advice
No, he's absolutely right. Nobody cares what you look like naked. Stop negotiating with terrorists. Stand up for yourself.
burner556··on The Lawyers Who Ate California
Hi I just left CA. SOCAL is turning into a 3rd world country with trash and homeless everywhere. Policies that allow naked homeless machete waving people to kidnap people from the street biting them in the neck and then released the next day. Want to have a gun to protect yourself? Too bad there’s a war on guns so only the criminals seem to have them. Call the police on somebody meandering into your home? They probably won’t come. And don’t protect yourself because the state might charge you. The woke SJW is getting out of control. Some other state is now getting my tax money. The weather was great, though.

Now why is that such a catchphrase?

burner556··on Fly.io: The reclaimer of Heroku's magic
Why are people tripping over $2/mo ? I don’t get this tight-ass mentality. It’s a rounding error.

Not in MEEEXICOOOOOOO I agree, they are delicious
burner556··on Research helps explain how Ritalin sharpens attention
Thanks for your reply. Methamphetamine is top tier adhd treatment. It's a shame it's so stigmatized.
burner556··on Research helps explain how Ritalin sharpens attention
Try vyvanse/dexedrine and then if that doesn't work desoxyn/methamphetamine. Both are anti-anxiety for me. Adderall is the worst.

burner556··on Netflix layoffs have started
Hey this is just the new progressive playbook, it's OK to hate on big corps and "billionaires". Check out what this game producer tweeted about her own CEO RE her own unreleased game: https://i.redd.it/yu9im5p38ld81.jpg Unprofessionalism for miles.
burner556··on Nukes, nubs and coners: The unique social hierarchy aboard a nuclear submarine
M8 they are sleeping in eachother's beds and smelling eachother's breath for 3-4 months at a time in a 10 x 170 meter tube underwater. Something's gotta give. Surface Navy is fine for mixed gender now it's become very political. Subs are not the place.
burner556··on Nukes, nubs and coners: The unique social hierarchy aboard a nuclear submarine
Well you can't whip out your dick at morning muster anymore, for one. It just changes the dynamic. All men is brotherly. Swapping out crew to make 10-30% woman now adds a different dimension. Who is trying to fuck who. This person causing drama with this person. ETC. What happens if somebody gets preg-o on a 6 month nuke patrol. So many examples to list. All men is just more simple.
burner556··on Nukes, nubs and coners: The unique social hierarchy aboard a nuclear submarine
Love sub culture. Worked on a surface ship but took a tour of a US nuke sub. Enlisted. The sub Chief (E-7) was leading me down the p-way, we approached an ensign (O-1). Me: "Good afternoon sir" Chief: Body slams the Ensign against the bulkhead Chief: "Whoops sorry sir! Didn't see you there!

I bet the culture is changing for the worse with the introduction of women to subs which shouldn't happen IMO. It just adds all sorts of tension. Don't tell me I'm sexist I've seen the culture before and after women allowed on certain surface ships. It's just not the same, adds a layer of rigidity and drama. Curious if anybody who worked on a mixed gender crew sub can comment here.

burner556··on Sony reportedly plans to put ads in Playstation games
Ah yes, so windows can show you ads.
burner556··on Ask HN: How to progress in career as a Software Developer with ADHD?
Medication is the only thing
burner556··on Psychedelics May Ease Cancer Patients’ Depression, Anxiety
Desoxyn (meth) works the best out of all adhd meds for me. Magically light and effective touch.
burner556··on Ask HN: What are you switching to from G Suite legacy free tier?
Fast mail. Worth it.
burner556··on The worst part of working from home is now haunting reopened offices
Use your sick time dude not vacation days
burner556··on The Pied Piper of Psychedelic Toads
Just break the law. Are you seriously going to let the government tell you what you can and cannot put into your body?
burner556··on The Pied Piper of Psychedelic Toads
Drugs are actually tons of fun. I think in the long run all drugs become detrimental (alc, caffeine, etc) but wow you can have experiences you will never forget and they def-o change the way you look at the world.

I would recommend everybody I know to experiment with drugs. I don’t recommend becoming dependent on ANY drugs.

burner556··on Ready to Work at Lesser Salaries or Even Quit, Employees Want Only WFH: Survey
I am “don’t vax if you don’t want to”. Got vax with booster and very much a libertarian type. Got Covid, starting to feel a bit better at the, THREE MONTH MARK. Has disabled me pretty bad, wouldn’t be able to work if I didn’t have an accommodating job just from the mental fog. Enjoy this datapoint. I am still against any forced restrictions.
burner556··on Ask HN: How do you not keep track of what you did yesterday (and this morning)?
Because who wants to waste 15 minutes of being useless time prepping for a meeting that is again useless. Does every detail really matter? Do we really have to daily justify what we do? That breeds a lot of resentment. May I please go to the bathroom? Weekly Eng standups at most unless truely working on something in tight collaboration.
burner556··on Homelessness Is a Housing Problem
Responding to you… just because. So somebody deserves housing because they are net positive to society? Bob here sells lemonade to thirsty Bitcoin miners so we must appropriate the labor of society via taxes and build him housing? Can’t get behind that idea. Nobody deserves housing at the expense of another person’s forced labor aka taxes.
burner556··on Homelessness Is a Housing Problem
This is just obviously not true. Sure, there are people that sleep in their car and could probably use somewhere to stay. However the visible majority of homeless in California, let’s say the “dramatic” homeless, are absolutely not just a house away from normalcy.

Tale as old as time, California charters a hotel to house the homeless and it turns into a drug orgy smearing shit on the walls paradise.

Yeah yeah, the only difference between the aggressive homeless person screaming and smashing water bottles against plate glass store windows and me is that I have a roof over my head. Look around and give me a break with that nonsense.
