what's happening here is reddit-style comments have been slowly but steadily creeping in. I dont blame the mods directly, but indirectly they should have just capped membership once the tone lost its tech edge and comments began to drift to "me too!/relevant username/orange man bad/etc" about 30-40% (by my estimation) of HN comments are what reddit comments were a few years ago. The only way to fix that is to throttle membership.
Why do opinions like yours always seem to come from accounts less than a year old?
Unless you're presenting yourself and your own comment history as an example of the problem... in which case, the opportunity is always there to try a bit harder.
If you continue to break the site guidelines, we're going to have to ban you again. Could you please not do that? Using HN as intended is not hard if you want to.
It isn't, because unless you've been lurking for years or have an alt account, you're just being an elitist poser. People have been complaining about HN "turning into Reddit" for so long that it used to be listed in the guidelines as a common, semi-noob delusion.
>Why do so many of your comments in your post history denigrate women and minorities?
Point them out to me, please. I'm usually defending women and minorities here, and often getting downvoted for the effort.
there's a charitable way to read that, which is that they did ample statistical modelling/risk analysis of CDS and "concluded" they were safe enough to bundle mortgage debt under. Then you could sort of "blame math" (or the abuse thereof) in that circumstance. I know CDS is only like 1/10 chapters of the whole crisis, however.
I work in tech in a high CoL area, and sure senior engineers and eng managers are making 200k+ total comp. SWEs with <5 years of experience are not starting out over 200k.
> My Android device that runs slower after each "update"?
This is not only an Android problem, Apple is equally guilty of this. Arguably, more so.
Nor is it a Java problem. Some extremely speed-sensitive high perfomance code used by high speed trading algorithms use Java. This is in an environment where micro-seconds count.
When microseconds/frame rates/audio buffers count, you're only one garbage collection away from a complete thread lockup. Those gigabytes of heap aren't going to clean up themselves!
If there's one thing you should absorb from the Bible it's to learn some basic principles about kindness and love. Because nearly all your comments are tainted with hostility, snark, and utter rudeness. No wonder you can't hold down a job. Who would hire someone like you?
