HN is nothing but startup bros, armchair economists, and card-carrying Ayn Rand fan club members.

Or you could kiss my ass. :) Ban me from this cesspool; see if I give a shit.

How sweet. When are they going to stop fucking over their employees? Oh right, never until they unionize.

Oh of course. Wouldn't want to be associated with feminism. But hey, you can still be a feminist, just don't call it that, right? Becauase just like men's deodorant and shaving cream, we have to have our OWN version of feminism, free from all of those WOMEN. Wouldn't want to be associated with women or have to navigate a space that isn't ours. Nope.

(Hint: this is sarcasm and feminism isn't primarily about men.)

Found the MRA.

I can't be the only one that finds it hilarious that there is a duplicate article about repetitive pop lyrics.

Yeah, if my job sucked I'd probably try to rationalize it three ways to Sunday too.

And yet in four billion years when the sun expands and engulfs the inner planets, nothing will matter, nor will have mattered. We ARE a insignificant in the universe; I don't see how that's untrue.

Ansible has a featur called Vault that encrypts whatever you tell it to with a password. You can then upload that to version control, and when you want to deploy, you just pass the password to Ansible (either via a file or any environment variable, ideally).

I'm using it to migrate us over from keeping our SSL cert in Dropbox and 1Password and it works well.

Dropbox and 1Password. It's, uh, not great.

Society would collectively decide to fund drug development because it betters all of humanity. There are ways to innovate without fucking over everyone for the sake of profit, you know.

I don't think you understand how index funds work...

Have we considered that these REST "anti-patterns" exist because REST is fundamentally inappropriate for what most people are trying to use it for? What if you can't shoehorn your functionality into the handful of REST verbs? What if none of the status codes make sense?

What ever happened to plain old RPC? Have we stopped to consider that people tunnel things through POST or GET requests because it's easier and more flexible than trying to cram your functionality into GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE?

If you find yourself using a lot of these anti-patterns, maybe you should consider switching to something a little less "REST-ful".

Capitalism seeks to squeeze as much profit out of as little labor as possible. This should not be a surprise to anyone.

Lol but watch everyone flip their shit when Apple tells people that they can't modify their software or hardware because "Apple owns it".

Fun fact: if it's ridiculously loud somewhere, just cover your ears (and have your conversation partner cover theirs), and you'll be able to speak to each other at a fairly normal volume. Works great for concerts and clubs especially.

> You really got me wrong.

Did I now?

> Most of the upper-class people I know would sooner go to the club and dry-hump a stranger than throw a cocktail/dinner party (much less waltz).

Quelle horreur!

> I'm all for having fun and using a salad fork to eat dessert...

Here's where you portray yourself as someone who likes to break the mold just a little bit...

> but I'd be interested to see the world with like 25% less depravity.

...and here's where you suggest that current norms are too much and that people who don't conform to your idea of wholesome, "classy" fun are depraved.

We must have different definitions of moral superiority.

I see this a lot on Hacker News and I really don't understand why. Who cares if people "go to the club and dry-hump a stranger"? What if I like cocktail parties AND clubs? Where do I fall in your moral binary? Furthermore, what's wrong with your so-called depravity? You do realize that you just said you wanted manners without 1850s sensibilities and then proceeded to invoke those same 1850s sensibilities, right?

In other words, come down off your high horse; let people like what they like.

Yes, clearly all of the poor, homeless people without healthcare just haven't failed enough yet. Why don't they just try harder? It's so easy to be a billionaire!

I'd rather be drunk with them than hang out with you and risk falling off that high horse.

If I got $10,000,000 and quit, I'd die happy.

> C can be viewed as a pleasant, portable, assembly language.

Do I have to buy what you're on from some guy on the street or is it available as a prescription?

> As such, it lets you "feel" the bare metal, much more so than a scripting language like Python or Javascript.

C hasn't been bare metal since the PDP-11. There are like eight layers of abstraction between

  char *foo = "bar";

and the "bare metal"; I don't know why people are desperately clinging to this "C is basically portable assembly nonsense".

Have you published? Because I think several large psychiatric organizations would be interested in your research.

I think the police departments get those from the federal government for free [1].

In 2013, there were 4,071,000 miles of roads [1]. How many cameras are we going to need? I think the idea of randomness is supposed to make people think "there could be a cop anywhere, so I'd better not speed", but I think a basic psychology education (and driving on a US highway for three minutes) proves that that's not actually how people behave.

Ah yes, let's just be "tough on crime". I mean, cops sit and clock traffic all the time. Hey, that must be why nobody speeds anymore! Oh wait...

I... I think it was a joke.

Clearly they're just not trying hard enough to be rich.

It's not ironic, it's just paradoxical.
