Hi HN!

This tool was built with mongo and nextjs using data provided by https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/baby-names-from-social-secu...

My hope is that parents will find it useful and that the application could expand into different categories like server names, internet handles, fantasy names, etc.

i like how you made it more succinct by changing it to "Change needs feedback" but your drawn out explanation makes you sound like a person who doesn't know how to provide feedback

For myself I thought it bothered me because of how I was raised (not to chew with mouth open, smacking sounds, eat quietly, etc)

lfender6445 — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 03:19:22 +0000

some people go for the heat because of the endorphin rush associated with spicy peppers, see Capsaicin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin - which also has analgesic properties.

I've read somewhere that the body releases endorphins because you trick it into thinking its in pain (and for some it is painful) but if you enjoy eating spicy foods this might explain why you'd want to push the envelope.

No pain no gain :)

i hardly ever get bit but i know people who are bitten all the time. i'm sure there is something here, unless i am getting bitten and don't have a physical reaction.

i'm with you, it takes someone to be at least a little bit crazy to do a job like this under those circumstances.

i always wonder how lonely these people are in their day to day lives, but maybe they derive satisfaction from their hectic work lives instead of human relationships.

i know i've been there before from my own hectic work schedules, caught up in the love affair of a high pressure work environment.

the conversation with the imgur ceo was my favorite part of this piece. for those interested:

So the final image is composed of other images pieced together? This makes me feel like the final product is closer to an illusion than what the insect would look like at higher zoom levels. Regardless the outcome was stunning
