snickyon Regular Expression That Checks If A Number Is Prime

Is it just me or the author of this blog post has a very annoying way of writing? He keeps explaining things and then a couple of lines below he writes something like "remember the discussion above?" or "if you remember correctly ...". Hell, sure I remember, because I just read about this 10 seconds ago. Do people really have such a short attention span and can't remember what was in a previous paragraph? Repeating stuff over and over seems almost like content farming to me.

snickyon Ask HN: Where do you go for learning about health and well-being?

I am a big fan of the health & fitness guide that's in stickies on 4chan.org/fit and I'm serious :) Direct link:

Lots of good stuff on nutrition and training without BS.

snickyon Startups and immigration

Don't know where you guys come from, but I think you were incredibly lucky. If I remember correctly, the probability of getting one in my country was around 2%. I tried 5 or 6 times already, a couple of times together with my wife (who is from another country) and we haven't been that lucky.

I've been working on web apps and servers for mobile apps with heavy traffic for the last 5 years. Spent 4 years in an American startup that develops one of the iOS TOP10 Photo/Video apps (100M+ users). Would love to work on some interesting problems with great devs and learn new stuff, no matter the stack or technology (AI, VR, drones and spaceships all welcomed). Early stage startups are fine too :)
