   Fill your bowl to the brim
   and it will spill.
   Keep sharpening your knife
   and it will blunt.
   Chase after money and security
   and your heart will never unclench.
   Care about people's approval
   and you will be their prisoner.
   Do your work, then step back.
   The only path to serenity.

Along with all of this, the team behind rethink DB is really very helpful. Team was always patient when I was new. They always helped. This is one the very few projects that I felt right at home. Rethink DB had(during the days I was trying to use IRC) atleast one core developer available on IRC every day from Monday to Friday. Congratulations team!

OK and why is this the top of HN? Because of the number of applications?

The number of applications is slightly higher than last year, but still I fail to understand why it is on the top, because this same thing was happening for the last 4+ years.

My application was picked up in the year 2013, so I have been following both HN and the USCIS at that time. Never saw it make top of HN.

I exercise everyweek day, I meditate twice a day everyday, I play atleast 4 chess 5 min games. I have been doing this over a year and I think I'm healthy.

I make it a point to sleep atleast 8 hours a day, and sleep for 7.30+ hours everyday.

Do you have any source to say Truecrypt becomes outdated? The last I checked, it was working just fine in Windows 8.

I don't think anything would be _drastically_ changing in Windows 11 and 12.

I liked the first two papers. Also when two years prior I did read the Shannon's paper. Must read for anyone looking for some Theoretical Mathematics.

I don't believe this to be something new. My mom had been using this ( very very similar - the OS) from Nokia since 2009. Nokia released many such cellphones in India.

Show HN: WordsAPI 12 years ago

Thank you. I was looking for an API only yesterday, and didn't find any that is as good as this one. Even the Princeton University one didn't fit into my workflow, because it is overly complex.

I too, for one think that the headline really tries to make the problem look bad by linking it to Open Source.

Concept is nice, landing page and the website are nice. What needs more work is the algorithm for determining hate. Almost all the comments that Hater News chewed out of my Reddit username were not at all* trolling. Indeed some statements were even contributing to the discussion.

Lots of Negativity here again. Most of the commenter here are saying it is wrong when he says Twitter should die because it doesn't encourage good communication, and then blocks his own comments section. It just means he wants to have a meaningful communication.

He says, you can email him, or write your own blog post to refute or add on to what he says. That way you will be facilitating a great communication.

He says though, you can email him, write your own email blog, except that you don't comment on his blog.

Does that mean he doesn't want communication to happen?

Seriously?

I gather that you are not an Indian, and if you really are an Indian then either you are an illiterate about what's happening in country, or you are an NRI earning in dollars in US who really don't care about India, except in writing these snarky comments.

If you are not an Indian citizen, you still should know the truth before you talk.

750 million Indian citizens aren't enjoying basic sanitation facilities because of the corruption in India. There was a Politician who was a son of Chief Minister who pledged more than 75 million in an election. This is just one example of the amount of corruption in India. Every state in India are filled with those politicians who are corrupt, and they own huge amounts of Black money.

So, I don't see what is your basis in typing in useless comment, when this money was spent as per the Budget allocation.

And finally, please don't write something unless you know the facts properly. The basic sanitation of all Indian Citizens will be improved, if the Political situation of the country is improved not by stopping Technological Advances.

Sometimes, if you don't have anything to contribute, it's better to close your computer and get out than to write these kinds of comments.
