throwaway_2047on Tribes of Programming (2017)

False trichotomy? A good piece of software is a combination of getting the job done, elegantly and efficiently?

throwaway_2047on How to let go of a lifelong dream

What about setting the goal as a "routine" instead of an end result? e.g. Every week, jog 3 times, each for 10 km. Instead of running a full marathon by year 2021. That way the process itself is the pursuit and you can only achieve more and more. For me, coding itself falls in this category that I have yet to grow tired of

throwaway_2047on Stalking her daughter’s killers across Mexico, one by one

I find this style of storytelling dizzying. As a non-native english user, the interleaving of narrative confuses me. Is it a desired style of journaling?

throwaway_2047on This Artwork Does Not Exist

throwaway_2047on DuckDuckGo Traffic

I have similar experience. Upon reflection, when searching, I had some preconceived expectation about the result, maybe a stackoverflow answer, maybe a wiki article, that made me "think" google result was better. But in reality, it was because I was expecting the result, in particular the result from google, before having the result. The longer you use DDG, the less google-specific result I expect. Of course, DDG's search is improving, but I think it is my own search result expectation that leads to the impression that google's search was better.

Now I use DDG exclusively.

throwaway_2047on Ask HN: How to help Hong Kong

I'm a Hongkonger. You are already helping by asking here on HN. Keep raising the awareness. Make sure people know the proximate and root cause of the protest. People needs to know Hong Kong is not China. People need to know the violence exerted by the police force. People need to know we are the most peaceful protestors in the world. And all conflicts, literally all, are elicited not by the protestors, but by the police.

There are so much more people need to know
