I am prone to a sort of grandstanding that can elicit such responses, which I believe to actually

That's HN being HN.

After all of that, you still seem to be familiar with the concept of "fairness". And yet you feel you shouldn't try anything because you don't have the perfect universal answer... are you sure you're posting on the correct forum?

Compulsion to respond to random posts

"Internet" enabled devices, or "railroads" - for example.

... and engineers don't have to consider this a good look coming from the head of YC. These are rookie mistakes - generated by both the human and AI model in a collaborative process. It's also the kind of mistake most of us aren't willing to make b/c we don't have the capital to sweep it under the rug if it goes pear-shaped.

Sure the term has been enshittified - but this is MIT licensed. I think that helps rebuild the integrity of the phrase "Open Source".

unmodifiable blockchain

Ahhh, this old trope. Fork it - trivial to do when you have consensus.

How many other 40+ year old keyboard models do people still regularly use today? The Model-M reputation earned more than a click.

You can either be resourceful and find a way or find a whole bunch of excuses.

How about addressing this false dichotomy with the likelihood that someone who is new or interested in a tech isn't willing to drop thousands of dollars on used hardware for a whim or learning exercise.

This is bananas to me. Theres been successful entries to snow plow competitions for ages.

Why do you hate subscriptions? What if you get a summertime snow storm?

How are corruption and enshittification related?

"Legally required" ... gotcha, script writing on Melania Movie 3 has begun in exchange for a national security letter requiring Amazon to both keep the data and not exclude it from training.

IME, regulatory compliance is something you are rarely able to test for in a nice little box or with well-known suite. So there's no easy "this complies" in many situations, no matter how many lawyers, compliance officers, and llm's you run it past.

And the JDF already has the Diabetes Peace Prize Award ready to send to him asking for the shifting of all research funds into "awareness" marketing.

Yeah, no. I'd say we're still looking for the most inexpensive variant of Modernism 125+ years after it's introduction - aesthetic driven entirely by the capabilities of machines that created it, embodied by Apple, every look-alike 4-door SUV, and anticontextual urban ruins of oversized-tiled econoboxes warehouses.

How many watts? How does it effect power envelope?

Ok! Sorry, the translation is kinda rough and seems rigid and robotic.

Due to this obviously AI-generated response (thus codebase) - I'll pass.

I have an old v3.6 from Dangerous Prototypes that I still frequently use and works fine with a coding assistant over serial terminal for doing some wire-level debugging of firmware. I am definitely not interested in paying the Pi tax for a new one just to get improved scripting. The roughly $100 BP v6 price point means looking into a other analyzers is required. How does this ESP firmware really compare - can anyone who's used both say what's different other than wireless?

We started this when Sahil took a construction management class and realized how the estimation workflows hadn't changed in decades

That's because it's been used in the construction industry for literally a couple of millennium (e.g. ancient rome) and it's a fairly well-understood material. The variations come in with the newer "exotics" rated above 5k psi that are more chemistry than aggregate, water, and portland cement.

Did your one class teach you that any non-parabolic concrete cross section is approximately 7% steel? And that the bidding issues with concrete are centered around the steel rebar/wwm/wwf installation and formwork/earthwork prior to pour?

He's done some absolutely god-tier moderation around here over the years and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he actually possessed the power to grant that kind of wish.

It's already about 85%: (Look at) me - with charts. We can replace those with TikTok dances instead.

a.k.a. Think of the children.

But don't teach them how to navigate the world and interact with both good and bad.

Totally agree with all the above: the jihad + OCB's role (IMO) is great author's device for setting up the scattering and evolution of the Honored Matres (chaotic evil) - where the potent mix of religion and gene manipulation become the key instruments of control by fear and seduction.

I have no doubt that huffing their own farts until euphoria hits is considered a critical skill.

When I lived there (or visit family), a Costco Gold card and store pharmacy visit can help a lot - it was around $150/mo for G6 last September. I'll switch over to G7 some time this summer. The Costco plan more than pays for itself using the built-in rewards program and rx discounts if you're paying out-of-pocket.

I'm having almost the exact same day as you today - except for the past 50+ years I have been t1d, and I'm back on MDI. I quit using a pump about 15 years ago. And it definitely improved my QoL just by not having to deal with all the insurance hassles. Removing that stress alone I think will extend my life longer than using a pump will.

And believe me, when sour patch kids are an effective medicine, you have a disease that must just exist for spite.

Feel free to ignore below if spk's were just the closest, but there are better flavored non-melting options that also travel well.

I keep some Transcend gels (available from Amazon) on my nightstand and scattered all around my house. They'll "burn" if you need to suck down three or more back-to-back (I rarely need them, and when I do it's usually only 1) but they're a zillion times better than any candy with predictable (5-10 mins) time for the glucose to hit you - unlike candy. They recently changed the packaging design, so you'll need to snip a tiny bit off the corner (sorta like a tiny pre-cut) in case you need to open with the convulsions.

Pro-pro tip for T1d's: If you relocate (or visit) the EU and get a Rx - IMMEDIATELY FILL it once as soon as you get it - otherwise it could be invalidated after 15 days - and it won't be valid when you try to use it the first time.

Which brings up an interesting question about forced token consumption ... are "Easter Eggs" making a comeback?

- "This attracts strong candidates to you, because even your rejections are worth something to them."

That's some solid gaslighting right there! You're right Steve, I would rather be rejected by your team than wasting my time by doing something positive with my career.
