To be fair, death seems pretty much the same. That is, it's not the dead that are in pain, it's those left behind. So, while I agree with you, it doesn't seem much worse than death, esp…
comment
As someone with Alzheimer's being quite prevalent on my dad's side [1], I pay attention to pretty much any HN thread on Alzheimer's. But most of them end up not being super conclusive…

And how much fasting? Is intermittent enough? 12 hours? 18 hours? Or do we need frequent (e.g. weekly or 2-3 times weekly) 24-hour fasting?
comment
> I'm sad because I no longer an doing my civic duty to stay informed and have an educated opinion To me, and I know not everyone agrees, but I feel nearly all forms of news media (particula…

I’ve not read the PDF yet (but will), but posting now becuase by the time I have time to finish a 50-page PDF, this thread will be dead. But I’ve been watching Paul’s Gaming Rules! channel [1] for sev…
comment
To be clear (to respond to a few people panning the legitimacy of applerankings.com), I didn’t actually take the site super seriously, it just made me take more notice of the Honeycrisp and try it out…
comment
This rankings site [1] was shared on HN a couple years ago [2], and since then I’ve switched to Honeycrisp. While I agree they aren’t always the most tasty, they are almost always (like 98%) crisp and…
comment
I’ve tried organic on occasion, and never felt they were any better (often not as good). Obviously way too many variables, but anecdotally, I haven’t been that impressed with organic apples.
comment
Hard disagree. I used to love Galas but ultimately realized about 50% of the time they were mealy. Since swapping to Honeycrisp, I’ve yet to have a mealy one. Maybe occasionally (about 1 out of 20-30)…

> Friction braking is always needed to make a full stop. In my EV6, I have a paddle on the left of my steering wheel that I use (almost) exclusively for braking. It 100% only uses regenerative brak…
comment
And brakes. My brake pads rarely touch my rotors. Not only does this (and the things you pointed out) reduce the cost of maintenance, it saves on trips to get them done, and the headaches of the press…
comment
I can definitely say I wouldn't be sitting where I am -- a software engineer, professionally for 27 years, but tinkering with programming for much more than that -- had I not started by learning …
comment
Both of those are fine, but they add additional complexities (even if small) where there is very little, if any, complexity added with using these two characters as delimiters.
comment
I feel like this (and some of the replies to this) is missing the point a bit. I don’t think the goal was to make a bullet-proof delimiter that fails at nothing. The goal was to solve the problem of n…
comment
Sharing mostly as a "devil's advocate" post. I fully support WFH (I've been doing it for 10+ years), but curious to see discussion around this article and the effects it has on jun…
comment
A bit off topic: I wish there was a way for HNers to share Kickstarter campaigns that they are excited about. This is one I never heard about, but may have considered for my car/Hot Wheel enthusi…

> I've never kept any laptop as long as I've kept the M1. My 2015 MBP would like to have a word. It’s the only laptop purchase I’ve made. I still use it to this day, though not as regul…
comment
Do some puzzles require trial and error solving? I’m in a 7x7 that doesn’t seem to have a way to 100% rule in/out squares early on. Good chance I’m not seeing one, but I’ve been staring at it for…
comment
I can relate to a lot of this article’s allure of winter, snow, and night, all three things I love. All of them bring a sense of calm, even when being outdoors. Snow literally makes being outside quie…
comment
That used to be much easier than it is nowadays.
comment
That’s exactly what I did, and it seemed to do a good job of hitting the main points in about 13 minutes (which is much quicker than how long it would take a slow reader like me read this article). I’…
comment
That’s what I was wondering — even if you sped up a realistic capture from space, wouldn’t it still just look like stars moving at about the same speed? There might be small variances in velocity, but…
comment
Can I hijack this thread for an almost completely unrelated question that I have observed in nearly every simulation of movement in space, even from sources like NASA and SpaceX which “should know bet…
comment
I’ve been WFH 100% (aside from the occasional 1-week remote offsite) for over 10 years. I will always want to work somewhere that is at the very least supportive of distributed teams, if not remote-fi…
comment
I’m just surprised they hold up to non-EV vehicles at a similar angle/speed. At 45 degrees, seems like most ICE cars would fly through them too, except for some of the more compact ones. But espe…
comment
The test seems to be sending the EV into the guardrail at a 45 degree angle, moving straight ahead. Is this common for guardrail collisions? Granted, it’s ideal if they can withstand that angle of imp…
comment
Or further, if you do read stuff about it and start thinking about it, don't sweat it. You'll eventually stop thinking about it, and life will go on. When I first started dealing with tinnit…
comment
I feel like there was an implied /s, but I’m guessing the downvoters disagree.
