thirtythree··on Ask HN: Have you figured out how to cut your own hair during the pandemic?
What do you mean by this?
thirtythree··on Ask HN: What small thing helped you appreciate life more?
Agreed. I got a kitten last year and he has taught me a lot.
thirtythree··on After working at Google, I’ll never let myself love a job again
> Playing along felt like the price of inclusion.

Wait, what? The author played along for more than a year and then placed a complaint? Maybe it's the way the article is written but this seems pretty bad on the author's part.

The author seemed to be mainly worried about their ruining their 'upward trajectory' in the company.

Aaannnd the author is writing a book.

Yes, I am cynical.

thirtythree··on Streaming subtitled box sets is the new Eurovision
And these laws were passed in some European countries before the USA introduced them
thirtythree··on Streaming subtitled box sets is the new Eurovision
Most Europeans will say they are French, German, Italian, etc. "European" means very little to us except not-american
thirtythree··on Google is accelerating reopening of offices and putting limits on remote work
I don't know what /r/relationships. I am glad you and your partner resolved your issues. Do you think the same solution will work for every similar problem?
thirtythree··on Google is accelerating reopening of offices and putting limits on remote work
OP already explained that the partner does not see sitting at a computer as working. They have different underlying assumptions which need to be addressed. That can be hard but not worth throwing away a relationship unless one person won't work towards resolving it.
thirtythree··on Testing a few new designs that don't show the public dislike count
Oh well that explains it. I'm surprised they didn't see that coming.
thirtythree··on Testing a few new designs that don't show the public dislike count
Woah - that is surprising. I wonder what the cause of the dislikes is on these videos? Is it targeted or just no overlap from Biden supporters and YouTube? Or they're not happy with Biden. Very telling that YouTube are moving to remove the dislikes though..
thirtythree··on The political case for a blanket cryptocurrency ban
Source?
thirtythree··on Show HN: Three Things Daily – Make gratitude a daily habit
What tech stack did you use?
thirtythree··on Ask HN: How can I address confirmation bias on HN?
You can't consume all your information through one source or aggregator. Use multiple and introduce new ones frequently and you will have no reason to be concerned.

I also think your concerns can be addressed with just thinking and rationality. If you read something from one source and agree with it just recognise that you have some information but also recognise you don't have all the information. Keep an open mind and be skeptical. I think this is critical because you can't read enough sources on every topic.

thirtythree··on Ask HN: How do you leave a job?
haha it probably felt good but I guess toy can never go back there?
thirtythree··on Since when does Google search require recaptcha
I read on HN that !s is a good alternative

thirtythree··on Ask HN: How do you leave a job?
I didn't know what to expect when I posted the question but this is really good advice. Thank you.
thirtythree··on Ask HN: Is Google still a cool place to work?
Would I try get a job in Google if it was the same salary as my current job and the interview was 'normal'? Yes.

Would I try get a job there if the salary was the same, or even more, than my current job but the interview process is how it is? Nope.

thirtythree··on Why OO Sucks by Joe Armstrong (2000)
Firefox says: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
thirtythree··on SvelteKit Is in Public Beta
Awesome! I will attempt to migrate from Sapper now
thirtythree··on Every $1 of BTC value responsible for $0.49 in health and climate damages in US
From seeing this, I fear the HN I once knew and liked is gone. The article isn't accessible, doesn't make sense and is promoting poor discussion.

fwiw, I realize this comment doesn't help much either.

thirtythree··on Ask HN: I'm missing travelling in pandemic. How do you satisfy your wanderlust?
I understand 'fake it til you make it' but this just seems absurd
thirtythree··on Ask HN: How do you identify shortcomings, and improve yourself morally?
Serious question,why bother?
thirtythree··on Ask HN: Why are documentation only showing 1 example if any
Most documentation is bad and seems to promote formality over usefulness. Examples go a long way.

The most recent example of good docs I have come across recently is svelte.dev

thirtythree··on Quibi Is Shutting Down
I think you have a misunderstanding. The product would work for some of the same people who watch tiktoks.
thirtythree··on What ORMs Have Taught Me: Just Learn SQL (2014)
We do this in work and it's not great in my opinion.

There can be issues with package versions compiled to the db. It makes continuously integration harder. We do automated builds and testing in the application layer but we don't have anything in the db layer. It's harder to create a new environment (for a developer who does not have full db permissions). Business logic ends up in the stored procedure layer AND the application layer.

thirtythree··on Say goodbye to hold music
Good idea but I have been on hold a handful of times in the last 10 years.. I guess I am not the target audience.
thirtythree··on Ask HN: How to prepare a talk for developer conference
Should the motivation to speak not come from being involved in an interesting topic first?
thirtythree··on Ask HN: What is HN for finance or crypto?
If you don't find a site, would you like to create one together?
thirtythree··on Pixel 5
I agree with you but set up of a new phone is pretty simple if you move Android->Android or iPhone->iPhone. Your google or apple account should sync everything
thirtythree··on Google TV
I was slightly confused by this as well but I think I got the gist. It's a chromecast interface/OS so that Google knows what you're watching on Netflix, Amazon Prime and other apps
thirtythree··on Ask HN: Best Recipe Search Engine?
This is timely for me as I was just searching for it. I am using supercook.com but was looking for alternatives (just to see how good the alternatives were)
