Absolutely. It was all about PR. Still is but no substance to back it up in the least.

He was the first man to come back from space alive (disclaimer: two members of my family worked for the space program) and what's really peculiar about his case is that he was chosen not only based on his undoubtedly stellar qualifications as a pilot but also because he was a handsome chap.

I still have all of my code from '95-'97. Wrote 3D tetris, and a flight simulator among other things.

Absolutely using two different laptops. One for work, one for personal activities. What also helps, if you've got a personal project on the side, to switch gears is between work and project, either read a book or watch an episode of something silly. Then dive back into computer world.

I've got a few stories like this. One was with Peloton. People buying expensive stationary bikes to work out at home? Ridiculous! )))

My current fave - Pulumi + JS + Ramda

I'm absolutely in love with pulumi. Recommended it to a CTO I was interviewing with literally an hour ago!

Diving into functional programming has rekindled my passion. Elm in particular.

Why is this at the top of HN?

It's still all the rage! They are portable too. Perfect for a digital nomad!

I'm 20 year industry veteran with a background in backend eng , DB architecture, data eng and data sci. Worked mostly in finance and then shifted over to start ups. Specialty - owning projects from inception and requirements to delivery. Have always prided myself on having the productivity of 4+ people.

Remote work preferable but open to onsite opportunities. FT or C2C.

I'm intrigued by the product. The SQL examples on the product page are atrocious though ((((

As as a hardcore Perler and JS eng of 20 years - yes, Perl or Python would've been the best tool for the job. Perl in particular due to its regex readability.

Now here's a blast from the past! 20 years ago this was common knowledge. Now it's making headline news on HN. SQL is back with the vengeance!

This article was written by yet another kid a few years out of college who doesn't know the history, the tooling and thinks he and his teammates are providing a solution to an existing problem. What he doesn't realize is that SQL reusability and data modeling have been solved 20 years ago.

Why is this on HN?

Perhaps I'm silly but wasn't it obvious that things like that would happen with Nest, Alexa and the like when devices like these first came out?

Mine doubled. Got a non sensical reply from AWS. Now back to normal.

Ex-Perl 5 dev. Still use it once in a blue moon b/c of the regexes. Perl 6 was a joke even 15 years ago )

Congrats!

Great looking site. A big motivator for me to do something similar.

You ever wonder when they show a tribe from G-d knows where that had barely any contact with our civilization, how come they've got perfect white teeth and they've got them all? Nothing crooked, nothing missing.

Party like it's 1999!

Indonesia is visa on arrival for US citizens

A ride in NYC is crazy cheap compared to other parts of the world. I live in Europe (grew up in NYC) and a single ride costs $4.50 where I am. But the public transport is clean, well-maintained and safe.

Wanna do lunch next week?

Dude, I moved to Reykjavik just over a year ago from NYC!
