Great idea, I would use something like this. Would be helpful to add tags/categories with grade level/difficulty if students want to use this for studying at their level.

Very clever. I would love to re-create this, we have the same issue with our cat.

I like the reviews at https://www.notebookcheck.net/ because they do measure fan noise.

Could be elaborated but this is 1000x better than nothing. The reader can look up what's unusual with enough hints from this comment.

Essentially, provide a way to build a digital "twin" version of my house, and get advice about improving heating/cooling efficiency.

Fascinating. Would love to see a "digital energy twin" product for residential properties.

This is my understanding too. Evolution didn't work of a master plan with clear divisions between systems..just whatever happened to work at the time.

I will still enjoy programming at 50 and will still want to it for money. But will the ageism in this industry permit that to happen? It feels like the tech culture must change to accept that there are good programmers who aren't in their 20s.

This might be the most insightful comment I've read on HN. I think this is the point people either miss or don't bother to address when claiming that they can just search for "arcane" facts instead of memorizing them.

Maybe people who get around to publishing articles in the WSJ aren't really procrastinators.

Interesting. Was it the pairing per se or the people you were paired up with that didn't work for you?

I haven't been able to stop thinking about that XKCD comic since I read it. It's equal parts depressing and motivating.

How are you calculating fitness?

Very interesting.."indecipherable spaghetti code that breaks when you remove those 400 NOOPs because it's adapted to the cache size of this particular CPU" - sounds a little like our "junk" DNA (though I suspect the analogy breaks down in the details.)

Sure..and put the rest of us out of business? : ) Although it is interesting to think about what the make-up of the genetic material would be. Just a string of 0s and 1s? CPU opcodes? Or maybe some higher level sub-units.

This is something I would be interested in using. Right now we use either email or Google docs. I drive to the grocery store and my wife puts together a list and beams it to my phone.

What would the process be for sharing a list created on the web with a mobile device? Emailing the generated URL? I don't see an option to send an SMS with the URL. Can users sign up for updates when a list is changed?

Seems that most (all?) of the start-up developer job openings posted on HN are based in SV. I wonder if there is another site like HN for NYC start-ups to advertise positions.
