news.ycombinator.com Sachi Kitajima Mulkey 2025-10-01 21:54:31

Each year between January and April, a blob of cold water rises from the depths of the Gulf of Panama to the surface, playing an essential role in supporting marine life in the region.

Some people go as far as to believe that perception is reality and that truth is a construction. I hope there’s a special place in hell for those people. It’s why the world wasted $10B+ on self driving car companies that obviously made no sense. There’s a much bigger market for truths that pump bags vs truths that don’t. So here’s your new

If you have a table that stores users, should the table be called user or users ? The arguments for plural are straightforward: The table is storing more than one user.
