Hacker News only seems to acknowledge the following path in the evolution of a developer: 1) Young self: "I'm a fucking genius and I'm writing this code as proof of my brilliance." 2) 10 years later, discovering the code: "What a retard. Fuck off. Better approach." I don't recall seeing the...

That's a good point.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Like I have this workmate who thinks Johnny Depp's daughter looks way better than anyone I put here for comparison. Makes me wonder ... maybe I'm the one that's skewed.

I find this hilarious: On the other side of the spectrum, I tried the least offensive broad joke with my Chinese female manager: She definitely didn't get it and I've no idea if I still have a job next year.

Meanwhile I'm visiting my parents for Christmas. Stored stuff is still safe and selling for €1000 a pop on European eBay (OLX).

In the meantime, world's oldest mother to have given birth (she was 66 at the time) is 83 right now and lives with her 17 years old daughter from a pension of $500 ("not much money" she says, but enough for her and her daughter) in an apartment in Bucharest...

Not trading but deep focused work, I can't have music running in the background, not even instrumental one (vocal is out of the question since it involuntarily distracts me). What does help concentration however is white noise, from a low-noise electrical fan. I have an electric heater with a...

Another serious contender:

Not everyone, not even communist countries as a whole, were born equal. That's one story I perhaps will tell you some day, as told me by my uncle who in the dark 80s got approved for a tourist's pass. Not in Western Europe / Free World, God forbid, just our close neighbors: Hungary and USSR.

Please do send us a few samples. With lack of hard approved drugs from pharmacy, most of us have to manufacture our endomorphins. The "right" music does right that. And it's legal. So, what's your endo? ;)

I reckon there might be some oldies around here who remember stuff and even if the topic is not that interesting for Americans because nothing that ever happens or will ever happen in US might have anything dysfunctional in it, maybe the admin won't delete my post and tell me to f** off to Reddit.

I'm dead curious about it, due to: 1) Having been born, raised and lived in a communist country ever since (also after it changed track). 2) Being old enough to realize what's going on and how things work (well) before the change in tracks.

Well there is criticism, trolling and plain toxicity. I've no problem with the former (proof being I haven't placed you on the ignore list @Overnight ) or even the middle ground (which I admit I indulge into myself on occasion). I stand that a discussion should maintain a minimum level and...

I like the Japanisation of the original and use it every occasion I got so "Merii Kurisumasu!". Hope it's not offending, just like how it sounds.

I'm easily top 10% of masculinity, whatever that might mean in these days of nonbinary, fluid identification. Though not a chick I very much know face matters and it's the same principle as for chicks. On average Hollywood top actors don't make more than 60%-70% when caught pants down near some...

Probably he took the picture right after implanting those things and before realizing "I didn't think this through".

I'm superficial. I like: - Taylor Swift - Shake It Off: - Katy Perry - Hot N Cold: For their musical as well as estethical value. Given my geographical location, I've stumbled into contact with slightly different musical lines, but the aestethics is not that much different: - Arash -...

I envy you to some extent for being able to care for politics. Last few election rounds I didn't vote, I voted with the guys I loathe, voted with an insignificant party likely to make it to Parliament (they did) promising to change everything (changed nothing, of course). Life's still running...

Being young and avoiding death forever. It's a Romanian children's story: https://www.povesti-pentru-copii.com/petre-ispirescu/tinerete-fara-batranete-si-viata-fara-de-moarte.html and it depressed the hell out of me somewehere around 10 when I read it. So I immediately started applying the...
