bprager··on Ask HN: What are your top 3 tools for keeping up-to-date on AI Research
https://arxiv.org/list/cs.AI/pastweek
bprager··on How should approach learning DevOps (AWS)?
Docker is good. Jenkins is a must. Start with AWS Certified Developer and then take the AWS DevOps Engineering. Next I would take on Kubernetes. I would also learn Ansible and Terraform. When you finish with the ELK stack, you have some basics.
bprager··on Ask HN: What is better Freedom or Equality
Freedom for whom: the lower or the upper part of the unequal?
bprager··on Ask HN: Why there aren't any webframework written in TypeScript?
You mean except Angular?
bprager··on Ask HN: What programming langauge(s) would you consider being “fun?”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_assembly_language
bprager··on Ask HN: Can we can stop climate breakdown by quitting meat and growing plants?
That depends on who you ask: https://www.sciencealert.com/vegetarian-and-healthy-diets-ma...
bprager··on Elon Musk’s “Innovations” Make the Middle Class Poorer
If one brings that up, at least put it in prospective: https://electrek.co/2016/11/25/tesla-subsidies-big-three-oil...
bprager··on Ask HN: Do you want an self-driving car?
Have you been driving recently, with all these idiots (excuse my French) on the streets? Of course I would want all of us a self-driving car. We would be so much safer.
bprager··on What would be your #1 bug to fix email spec?
Unauthorized email (not in my address book) to pay "entry fee" (bitcoin?, amount determined by me) to get into my inbox.
bprager··on So, is this me? or is this icon sexist? you decide.
As the French would say: vive la différence.

But joking aside, classification can be healthy and helps us to orient ourselves. It is one of the basics of learning. If issues arise on types one has to allow the question, what is the issue and who actually has it. Do we no longer value qualities like female or male, ladies and gentlemen?

bprager··on Ask HN: I just dropped out of college, should I do a coding bootcamp?
Tools and language change quickly. Engineering basics and methodologies remain. You might not like my advice, but reconsider your decision and show that you have the discipline and endurance to finish things, even or especially if they don't appeal to you all the way.
bprager··on Corporate culture clashes: What does rocky P&G/Gillette merger teach?
Not a win for the consumer: these double and triple shaving blades are more expensive than ever.
bprager··on Ask HN: What is the best way to save links for later?
I use Readability "Read later" a lot. Plug-ins for almost any browser.
