Why use a throw away account? You could earn many points from the woke by proclaiming your religion loudly.

Contrary to what you say, HN moderators kill these threads quite fast especially because... many on HN are anti woke. Fundamentally, HN is woke.

The whole article shows what happens when there's no economic growth: people eat themselves. The woke stick is used very well by younglings to smack old people.

These younglings will be experts at leaving no trace. After they have passed though an institution, will anything of worth remain?

Soon it will be standard MO for people in high position to use attorney for any communication. Saying something yourself, showing some personal facet, even a joke, is a dangerous thing.

Society is now a dark forest. Shh, be quiet.

Hm, doesn't look marginal to me. A heat pump is like 5X-10x more costly and requires quite specialist install. An air conditioning unit is pretty easy to install by normal technicians.

Last I checked a heat pump is considerably more expensive than an air conditioner. And a regular air conditioner can probably only heat when the outside is not freezing.

I would actually want to get a heat pump but it's basically prohibitive. Would be nice to replace them with a "cheaper" air conditioner unit.

We recently had to do a Signal bot and for an elegant codebase it sure is lacking in terms of libraries. Not to mention the license being as aggressive as possible to prevent any clients of any kind.

Spacemacs had some Neovim-like fame at some point. I don't see it promoted that much anymore.

I did not see this play out. Geek bonding did not happen as much and faded after school when everybody was getting enough geek stimulation at work.

I've seen a great female gang from the University. But they were from random classes and the group held because they made quite some effort to maintain it.

I doubt colleges need to be kept for the friendship angle.

Curious: jarring how?

I saw an excellent educational video recently from a guy that was, how to put it, dressed almost like a hobo.

Well, it's not like Germany would want to sell more expensive cars or something?! :)

Note that expensive entry level cars compete with the used cars. Plenty of them. Somehow those are still able to drive on the road despite not having all those safety features (and polluting more).

If it's any books that need a Reader's Digest, it's self help books.

There's so much filler in Atomic Habits it's amazing. I think 10 pages would be too much for what was actually covered.

I wonder if somebody actually did a good summary. It can't be too many pages, really.

I'm sure you are right about what you said, but the whole tone and field of photography reminded me of a photograph we hired.

He imagined himself as such a great artist that although doing work for hire was afraid we might use our personal family photos without giving him credit.

In the end... he sent another team to do our photographs and wouldn't even give the ~20 "edited" photographs except as a flash EXE.

I'm a programmer and I know what copyright is but that photographer was deluded.

Atomic Habits is a book that should have been a long blog post. It's amazing how many self help book could be a pamphlet with 10 printed pages for more details.

Needs a (2018). I knew I read it and wondered if there's anything new here?
