xnavra50··on Double Split Experiment
Shouldn't the electron in step 3 be fired towards the hole? It is fired to the center (wall).
xnavra50··on Show HN: Real Valued Chess – chess on a continuous board
On Firefox the pieces are left in between two squares (don't fit into the right slot). Also there is no way to rotate the board.

And queens are on wrong squares. Was that generated using LLM?

xnavra50··on Why Hacker News UI still look like 90s?
Simple and information-dense. No need to change it.
xnavra50··on Tech billionaires want to make gene-edited babies
I think that vast majority of us - ordinary people end here. They will use their power and money to engineer children with traits nowhere to be found in nature. Fast-forward a few generations - I bet they will push our gene-sets out.
xnavra50··on Springs and bounces in native CSS
Btw: the design of the webpage with all the animations and beautifully crafted info-boxes is top-notch.
xnavra50··on Ask HN: How does one build large front end apps without a framework like React?
If a migration of breaking changes seems like a lot of work for you then I suppose that rolling your own framework won't be any better.

With the framework, you have structure. It might not be the best structure to use, but you have one. React lasted really long and is still works today.

Going without framework works if:

- you have a really small project

- you are so advanced developer or have specific use-case that using a framework creates more burden than time saving

- you are creating something so valuable that reimplementing it yourself is worth it

I think that regular website will bleed via maintenance costs in the long-run if you don't use a framework. Instead of paved road with framework migration you would be fixing and debugging bugs in your framework/codebase.

xnavra50··on Harnessing Embarrassment
I have seen that method in work in one of large corporate companies here. :) A meaningless, but "important" "manager" tries to orchestrate a public meeting to show off your work to force you to make the deadline.

I have been too short there to evaluate whether it works or not.

Insane.
xnavra50··on How to professionally say (2022)
Please, don't be indirect evasive insincere sugar-coating person. Tell me the truth. I will get angry. Then calm down. Then I will respect you.
xnavra50··on Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
This article presents very biased view without sufficient evidence.

Not worth your time.

vaporware?
xnavra50··on Landmark discovery solves baffling mystery around Gulf War Illness in veterans
Ok, the ion channels are dysfunctional in the veterans, but what is the cause. What substance (from the chemicals, toxins and agents they met in service) caused them to have this disease in the first place?
xnavra50··on It's not just us: Other animals change their social habits in old age
Some of us aren't. Eating junk food, drinking alcohol, taking drugs and loans for new shiny things.
xnavra50··on A chemist explains the chemistry behind decaf coffee
Well, they used some unhealthy solvents to extract the caffeine in the past. Swiss water method should be ok, but I just don't trust that some cheap company is not cheating in the process every now and then.

I drink regular coffee.

HN is slowly becoming a tabloid with shocking content.

That's not a behaviour we would like to encourage, right?
xnavra50··on Why Men Get So Few Matches on Dating Apps [video]
So you are disagreeing with one word I used, but not the concept/idea? Would rephrasing it without the word you are afraid of help you? I can do it for you. :)
xnavra50··on Why Men Get So Few Matches on Dating Apps [video]
If I had truly misplaced anger over my self, would that make my argument less valid? Can you really say - well this person's point of view is invalid, because he is, indeed, acting in some sort of anger without knowing anything really about me?

Honestly, I am not angry with myself. And back to the discussion - will that make you listen? :)

I dont want to correct dating apps at all. I said its natural. But I want you to acknowledge, that the difference in behavior is because of gender. And that difference shows in other areas (like willing to take risks - to change jobs for better salary). And to make the conlusion - that if we agree it doesnt make sense to fix dating then it is truly stupid idea to try to artifically "fix" inequalities in the salaries. Because they are natural - an effect of gender behavior differences.

xnavra50··on Why Men Get So Few Matches on Dating Apps [video]
Agreed. But isnt feminism about equality? Look, the inequality on Dating Apps is natural - it is a result of biologic difference between genders and their behavior. Certainly nothing wrong with that - you dont correct these.

The others - like salaries, (which are of course also subjects to these differences) they want to correct them. Why? Because it benefits them - to have their cake and to eat it.

It's just stupid to "reward" in such a way.

Makes sense. You've got no grounds nor successfull predictions done in the past.
xnavra50··on AI forecast: Bitcoin plummeting to 5k during the next 12 months
