hipjiveguy··on Ask HN: How do you not take criticism of your work personally?
The answer is, be humble, in your comments, and your criticism

If people could read my thoughts, half the time they'd think I was insane, but I know they're insane too :D

It is short term vs long term thinking.

Do you want to feel good for ~ 1 minute, or for the rest of your life?

Just pause, and think, before you answer. Pretend your mother, father, or your children are in the room with you, and you'll do alright

hipjiveguy··on Fuck being productive
Nice quote, thanks for posting.... but, did Epicurus have a family, or care about anyone else? Makes me wonder...

Anyone can pursue their passions, and realize their dreams, but you have to at least consider the affect on your wife or children.

Now this is not saying don't get married, lol.

It's just about choices. Realize that all we think and do, is so subjective.

You could be the smartest guy in the world, or the most caring guy in the world.

Which would you say matters more?

Intellect fades. Youth fades. Life gives way to death.

These are not bad things, but they are natural, as we come to understand.

But in all of this, you have to be you, and not your parents.

Never forget, your parents were children, and probably are in some ways, as the are with you, for your entire life.

Forgive them, and yourself, but never forget, you can always love and help others.

If this life had no point, and was "meaningless", then taking care of others is really more important than anyone.

Every careful thought - it is special, and a beautiful exception.

dudes. if none of you see it, it's because you're turning a blind eye, is the best way I can say it. the future of the 50's is about to show up, if, and only if, we're not so dumb as to ignore it. flying cars, killer robots, we can help decide, if we're only aware enough to do a bit of research, and say anything. your voice does matter :D

watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcVfceTsD0A&ab_channel=LexFr...

then, think, and then, think again, and then comment be optimistic, but be forewarned, and speak your voice

I agree, but 80/20 rule. Your day, for the context of his time, was in the 20% it sounds like, which is all we can ever hope for.

"The Mobius Twist" :D
hipjiveguy··on Gattaca is still pertinent 25 years later
He had more in him than science told him he did.

He was more than just his DNS/genetics - his soul, and strength weren't measurable by his genetics, and having a challenge in life, being "less", was actually a blessing, as he tired harder and did more with what he had than what those who were given so much with did - nothing

One of my favorites as well - also, "Second Fiddle" :D
hipjiveguy··on Staring into the abyss as a core life skill
This is very true, but I think should be summed up as the following

Think hard, but love harder. In both, be humble, but in all things challenge yourself and others. Questions things, but don't forget that being kind, loving, and inteligent is a gift to yourself first, and others at the same time.

hipjiveguy··on My Trip to Space Filled Me with Overwhelming Sadness
Great thoughts, I can relate... for you, what does "seeing people" mean?

For myself, I think it's not just being there, but actually engaging them.

Expressing myself openly, with an open heart, and mind.

I've not been good at that in the past but as I get older, it is what I hope and wish for, and am trying to be better at.

hipjiveguy··on Adventure game graphics with DALL-E 2
cool idea, but those images are so... un-text-adventure? I guess they feel like they should be more low res? I guess too "real" removes imagination from the text adventure equation
hipjiveguy··on From novice to master, and back again (2013)
I make a habit of turning every question I have, that I don't find an answer to in 30 min, a question AND answer on stackoverflow/stackexchange

And many times, even years later, when I google the answer, I google my name, stackoverflow, and the topic, and kapow - answer received :D

hipjiveguy··on Things I've learned building a modern TUI framework
Terminals aren't "interactive prompts". They're requests.

All requests need to be iterated on, in real time.

So no one asks the perfect question immediately - it takes attempts, where the answer is no, or failure.

So how fast we can interpret what the answer a terminal gives us is important.

And a picture, or immediate visual interpretation, is worth more than a thousand words.

it's not turtles all the way down - it's layers of tech.

and if any tech layer fails, it all fails
