100 days of over 100F heat is going to kill you much sooner than shoveling snow, that you could be paying someone else in a machine to do for you.
the heat doesn't require you to go outside and do work, the mornings are also dramatically cooler. if they were to head out for a walk at 1700 it would be dangerous, but unlike shoveling snow it is optional
idontknowifican commented on Turning psychiatric labels into identities newyorker.com/magazine/20... · Posted by u/thunderbong
They're filling a god shaped hole in their heart. They like most (all?) people don't understand the world or their role in it, or even worse they know they have no role in this world so they reach for what ever can give them fulfilment, belonging and direction, just like religious people do.
I agree that it's no way to live.
it always felt a bit more reactionary to me. a lot of people feel like they were unjustly treated, and the label helps them feel better about that stuff. normally i have seen an adult with a fresh diagnosis go really hard in to that identity, only to realize they over did it and land in a more neutral space.
as someone who has a bunch of adult friends getting autism or add/adhd diagnosed, there is an immediate phase of “all of my problems are caused by this”, followed by “how do i cope with this”, and finally “this is just helpful context for me”.
there are quite a few that get stuck on one of those phases, but largely most people loop back around to a more reasonable view.
idontknowifican commented on Show HN: Use Go's HTML/template to write React-like code · Posted by u/rkwz
A bit off-topic, and maybe it was just an example made without too much thought put into it, but I've noticed there seems to be a lot of people now who write button/links like this:
<button><a href="/blah.html">My Button</a></button>
I think it stems from people who want their links to take on the default button styling, but I'm not 100% sure. Has anyone else noticed this trend at all?
yeah it is invalid html, and probably done for the ui only. now people are just copying it. would totally break if the button anchor was in a form

Has the word "education" fallen out of favor recently?
welcome to hn and the latest tech bubble. why communicate in anything other than coded language

Isn’t it common to be given a lot of antibiotics when you get a surgery?
a lot and a heart artery drip for 30 days are orders of magnitude different in quantity
I suggest relaxing, lest your comment become funny, because it describes itself better than the mind it is trying to read.
Want an "asshole" version? i.e. the honest version? (note, I'm not the guy you're diagnosing and mind-reading, just want to highlight how absurd your conception of OP is)
That was one of the strangest deprecation announcements I've ever seen, foaming at the mouth, blaming massive external factors (companies...pursuing money? is an odd thing to be surprised by), way overly dramatic lies about ex. Google "content-blocking extensions with MV3 under false security claims and planning to lock down the OS and browser with DRM."
I have no love for Google, but as soon as someone starts saying "MV3 [makes] false security claims", I remember MV3 is just Safari's more private content blocking from years ago.
When I see "planning to lock down the OS and browser with DRM.", I'm like "wait...he can't be describing...", click through, and see he's describing the one-off public announcement of beginning a prototype of a browser API that a user is human (transparent!), that was cancelled, publicly, extremely shortly after, because of reactions like this. (thankfully!)
Much like the constructive version of this comment, I bet they'd be able to keep going if they didn't see their project in such epic terms, given they framed giving up in terms of companies continuing to pursue money and Google.
your points are all fair and valid, and i can see how mine was missed.
i am attempting to say:
the way you give feedback is highly correlated with it landing.
your “mean” feedback is not, it speaks to why and does not just dismiss the author or try to trivialize a number. it provides clear links to issues, not just attacking the intelligence of the poster. you make a series of great points, reinforced by others feelings and examples of real world issues.
this feedback can be turned into something useful, allows reflection, and does not attack the authors entire reason to be here.
the original dude literally says:
1. 800 users is shit 2. your app had no effect 3. you dont even know how to choose a goal
you must be able to see this difference?
is asshole a diagnosis?
i can appreciate how hard you worked on this, it is an achievement in aggrandizing to provide this feedback.
i hope your friends and family truly appreciate the perfection of your worldview, and can move fully to your simple answers
Unsolicited, generic, drive-by advice, given with almost no understanding of the context and people involved is generally worthless.
i love how he hides from being an asshole via calling his behavior “constructive ideas”. imagine being a child raised with this cognitive dissonance.
“if i do not think i am mean i can not be mean” is fundamentally the go to for bullies, this person included
