I started getting emails from Amazon recruiters about every 3 days for the past few months, and I have no idea what caused me to pop up on their radar.

Is it really a “win” if no one else is playing?

What makes it groupthink rather than simply being in agreement about something?

It’s ironic that people are trying to censor you for this.

Paper money is not actually made of paper.

That's probably why they used the word correlated, and suggested how a causal relationship could be established.

Ask HN: How to Debug Scala Project?

babygoat — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 16:38:19 +0000

I've been tasked with making changes to a project with 50,000+ lines of code, I'm pretty new to Scala and I'm finding it damn near impossible to keep track of the hundreds of classes and remember what all their attributes are. I've tried using sbt console as a REPL but it doesn't seem to want to load the project if it's composed of sub-projects.

Is anyone willing to share tips about their development workflow? Is it possible to use breakpoints and/or step through code to be able to inspect objects at a particular point? I've tried IntelliJ but I can't seem to plug in my arguments.

Thanks in advance!

How would removing Windows accomplish this? Throwing your own stuff away after paying for it doesn’t make sense, they already have your money.

Ugh, no. This is terrible advice.

Say you have 5 bags with 5 apples in each. How many apples do you have? 5 x 5 = 25.

If you have 5 empty bags, 5 x 0 = 0.

Why is it good that no more can be printed though? The value of all total goods in existence is not fixed, so why a currency where you don’t know how much you’ll able to buy with it in the future?

I don’t see any use cases for it except tax avoidance or illicit transactions, neither of which I have any need for. Why use it for anything else when I have no way to know that it will be worth anything tomorrow? I realize the same could be said for paper money but I have less confidence in Bitcoin.

What is Bitcoin backed by? What commodity could any currency be backed by that isn’t subject to the same volatility?

That makes no sense. How can you do away with progressive taxation without increasing the tax burden on the lower and middle classes?

Normalization implies that there’s something abnormal about going outside for some light exercise, fresh air, and a change of scenery. I enjoy those things but it’s not hard to abstain from other normal activities that I don’t.
