Maybe Google should just add an upvote button.
Re:A Chemical Hunger: Mysteries on Monday July 12, 2021 @02:22PM (#27813371)
The article pointed out a paper on an increase of 1.4% overweight horses. It does not seem to have a meaningful relationship with the steep increase of overweight population in human (~24%).

What about stress?

Elevated cortisol level induces over-eating; moreover, increases craving for high-sugar, high-fat foods.

The big change in human behavior in the last 2 decades is that now people consume more information that leads to depression, anxiety and stress.

Re:LiveLeak shuts down after 15 years online on Wednesday May 05, 2021 @11:27PM (#27058850)
Probably a minority here - but I could not stomach the horrible comments on LiveLeak, especially because it almost seemed like they were all written by a bunch of really young audience.
Re:Firefox changing its tab design on Thursday April 15, 2021 @08:25PM (#26827857)
Not loving where this is going. FF on iOS was great, with icon showing the number of tabs I have opened unlike Safari. Please translate that sensible UI choices into your desktop version too.

You could go on Facebook with no opinion on anything and leave an extremist.

it’s not useless if they only work to solve specific problems faced by specific group of companies
Re:Is it Worth Reading if I Forget Everything I Read? on Wednesday February 24, 2021 @01:59PM (#26254054)
I find that fiction books are usually more memorable than non-fiction. I also find that technical books with a story-telling structure to be more memorable.
Re:Ask HN: Is Safari the New Internet Explorer? on Wednesday February 03, 2021 @07:32PM (#26021127)
That is a moot point to discuss. If you’re looking for the worst browser in the market however, Chrome is a strong candidate.
Re:10 years-ish of Elixir on Thursday January 14, 2021 @05:06PM (#25783354)
Celebrating my sixth year with Elixir! The adoption rates here is still quite low (Malaysia) but I'm glad to say that onboarding new Elixir developers has always been a breeze.
Re:Notion is having a service interruption on Monday January 04, 2021 @03:45PM (#25637643)
Notion is about the only service today out of many other major platforms (see: https://downdetector.com) that cared to email me about the downtime. I’ve been a happy Notion user since about a year ago and this is probably the only one time I have experienced major downtime as far as I can remember.
Re:Computer science is not software engineering on Saturday December 26, 2020 @02:31PM (#25545780)
Those who made “mistakes” like re-implementing basic data structure or algorithm will learn much more than what compsci degree can teach them.
Re:Vercel raise $40M Series B on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @09:34AM (#25442942)
Had to use Zeit/Vercel a few months for a “serious” project that requires SSR, caching and multiple staging environments. As the project progresses I noticed an increasing pain from constantly fighting with outdated documentations and limited configurability. I hope that’s changed now though, because there were some parts of Zeit that we loved. For simpler static sites, it’s hard to beat Netlify.
Re:GitHub Dark Mode is too Dark on Saturday December 12, 2020 @09:49PM (#25403888)
Most people I know who uses GitHub daily are premium users. People who use GitHub for free are probably not going to be bothered by the dark mode.
Re:TailwindCSS v2.0 on Wednesday November 18, 2020 @03:48PM (#25142253)
We’ll have an entirely new generatiom of front-end developers who don’t know anything about CSS beyond some arbitrary class names soon.
Re:Document your code just by hitting “record” on Tuesday November 03, 2020 @06:27PM (#24985196)
Being able to automatically translate the texts would be a killer feature. It's probably outside of the scope for this product but language is quite a significant barrier for at least 80% of world population that doesn't speak English.
