cplusplusfellow··on Netflix: Love is sharing a password (2017)
It’s not uncommon to have 2 kids on an iPad, a daytime show in the living room on, and grandma upstairs watching her shows.
cplusplusfellow··on Archery World Record: Most arrows through a keyhole [video]
Plot twist : a huge funnel on the other side of the door.
cplusplusfellow··on Man says he lowered his town’s water fluoride for over a decade
Likely none.
cplusplusfellow··on Elon Musk reportedly wants to lay off 75% of Twitter’s staff
I would join Twitter after a 75% culling if the stock grants and pay were proportional with the risk taken. Culling 75% from sales and marketing departments is easy. It’ll be harder in engineering.
cplusplusfellow··on The Millennials in Sexless Marriages
Porn should be used to get ideas for what you want to do with your partner. That’s my .002.
cplusplusfellow··on Amazon's Jeff Bezos in economy warning: 'Batten down hatches'
Thanks to Newt Gingrich.
cplusplusfellow··on Tell HN: Beware 'Ungrowth' in Your Job
I completely understand this sentiment and I've been there. I was at a job that paid me extraordinarily well (particularly with my stock grants). Yet I was constantly on call, having to respond to hundreds of requests in the #ask-foo channel, and constantly servicing inbound chore tasks. My skills are in algorithmic and low level engineering.

Ultimately a move was what made my life better.

Toilet paper is taxed also as a non essential.

Also thousands upon thousands of engineers. Not all of these products are intended for the same use cases.
cplusplusfellow··on Trying new programming languages helped me grow as a software engineer
The reason why I’m not adopting C# is because I’m never going to be a windows user.
cplusplusfellow··on Ask HN: Firing an employee under a month before vest?
At present he hasn’t been fired and if his date of vesting wasn’t approaching, OPs question may not even have arisen in his mind.

Since terminating him is a question related directly to his vesting, everyone is going to know he was let go right before vesting to eek out the best possible value from him right before he gets something he’s worked a year to receive.

“Yeah but our contract says” is literally the worst thing you can do with a small company if you want morale to be high.

cplusplusfellow··on Ask HN: Firing an employee under a month before vest?
Agreed with this. Everyone knows when he vests. You will lose the trust of others if you are seen to be doing this only now so that you can avoid giving him some other component of what he has earned.

And despite his performance, he did earn it.

cplusplusfellow··on How does the Russo-Ukrainian War end?
Legitimate question : how does the Russian regime meet the definition of fascism?
cplusplusfellow··on “Rust is safe” is not some kind of absolute guarantee of code safety
Surely we can “harden” Linux for this application?
cplusplusfellow··on First-time fathers show longitudinal gray matter cortical volume reductions
The white knights in this thread downvoting me. Pathetic.
cplusplusfellow··on Twitter Appears to Shadowban Videos of Italy’s First Female Incoming PM Meloni
Can you elaborate on how “strongmen type leaders” differs from the behavior patterns of so many of our worlds leaders during and after the pandemic?
cplusplusfellow··on First-time fathers show longitudinal gray matter cortical volume reductions
> if I fail to maintain a job, it is statistically associated with divorce

But heaven forbid you expect your wife to keep up the pretenses set when you married her.

cplusplusfellow··on Meta has banned the personal Facebook accounts for everyone on our team
What you’re missing here is that you don’t actually have a right to be a user.
cplusplusfellow··on Expelling Russia from the UN Security Council – A How-To Guide
The point of the UN is to negotiate your differences rather than decide them with MAD or nuclear weapons.
cplusplusfellow··on Twitter Is in a Mess Because Jack Dorsey Was Too Busy Being a Bitcoin Influencer
With respect to DeFi - I hope. With respect to censorship, I can’t agree.
cplusplusfellow··on Covid-19 vaccination and temporary increase in menstrual cycle length
Imagine how much more we can trust the science once all of the reported side effects of the vaccines aren't suppressed and censored. Maybe then we can understand why those side effects happened, understand the chemistry and biology around those side effects, and build better vaccines for the next time we have a global pandemic.

I'm old enough to remember how the only words you can repeat in public, often in private, and certainly online are "you must get the vaccine, it is safe, it is effective." I'm glad to see this trend shifting.

cplusplusfellow··on Covid-19 vaccination and temporary increase in menstrual cycle length
Most of these are reported by individuals who are gaslit be being told it’s not related to the vaccine, which is very effective and safe.

Since effective means: you need this again every 3 months, and it won’t affect whether you contract or receive the illness, one can wonder objectively what it means to be safe.

cplusplusfellow··on Show HN: Goroutine-analyzer: A visual goroutine stack dump debugging tool
Not a criticism but did you consider any of the Golang libraries for doing user interfaces (DearImGUI is what I’m looking at now).
cplusplusfellow··on Show HN: Goroutine-analyzer: A visual goroutine stack dump debugging tool
> The tool is written in Java for expediency on the UI front.

I never thought I would live to see the day these words were unironically authored.

Almost like the outcomes are desirable to the actors in your commentary.
cplusplusfellow··on Queen Elizabeth II has died
> I bet there were times where Lilibet just wanted to go to her room and cry.

Somehow I think those of us who also feel this way and dear Lilibet had very different experiences doing so.

cplusplusfellow··on There Is No National Teacher Shortage: The narrative doesn’t match the numbers
It’s the Atlantic, after all.
cplusplusfellow··on Company Tells Employees: Work ‘Voluntary’ Overtime or Go to Jail
I hated giving Vice a click because this article headline has already received its due ridicule in the current thread.

However just to confirm for you, the first words of the article are:
