It's not better on macOS. Bugs I encounter regularly: webcam not working, memory leaks, CPU usage maxed out.

I don't believe there are visa requirements between EU countries, you might want to fix that (maybe skip the EU countries for EU citizen, or give 100%?)

I've had stalkers before and it'd freak me out if I received a thank you note from someone I did not exchange contact details with.

I used to think like you until I met a coworker. He could not code to save his life, nobody in the team liked working with him. Until one day we had a boring data entry task. He could do it for hours at a time, and barely made any mistake. This experience taught me something.

For what it's worth my anecdotal experience is exactly the opposite. Sample size = 4 people.

"That again, they respond to stimuli but don't feel pain like an animal."

I don't feel this is a valid argument. We only really know how pain feels to us, but we can guess it also applies to other humans, animals, etc. That we cannot imagine how it feels to respond to negative stimuli as a plant should not invalidate the possibility that it is unpleasant.

It was SGD19 for students or SGD49 for anyone else.

Most manholes are round because that is the most practical shape such that the cover cannot fall in. There are actually other shapes, but they are usually hinged and most costly.

Many activity trackers will provide stats about how much you sleep, and how you compare with the rest of the population. I appreciate your question is about HN readers rather than fitness nerds, but there might be an overlap.

Friends don't let friends write Makefiles at all. The author does not appear to be familiar with them, except for the trivial examples in this post.

What I meant is that quaternions don't seem any weirder to me than sin/cos.

Quarternions aren't weird. With a 2D angle we use 2 numbers (sin and cos) to calculate vector rotations. It turns out that in 3D we use 4 numbers.
