Nobody has a personality anymore: we are products with labels

news.ycombinator.com Freya India 2026-02-21 12:16:37

Therapy-speak has taken over our language. It is ruining how we talk about romance and relationships, narrowing how we think about hurt and suffering, and now, we are losing the words for who we are. Nobody has a personality anymore. In a therapeutic culture, every personality trait becomes a problem to be solved.

Async Queue – One of my favorite programming interview questions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-21 05:46:01

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

Bitcoin Bought in 2011 Suddenly Springs to Life After 13 Million Percent Increase In Value

Two Bitcoin wallets that remained untouched for more than a decade just sprang back to life — and whoever owns them is now filthy rich in crypto.

Due to the digital currency's inexorable rise over the subsequent years, the extremely patient owner of the two "Sleeping Beauty" wallets where the Bitcoin was stored now holds more than $2 billion worth — a

But far fewer will be aware of the 90% of Old English poetry that is not Beowulf. It’s a shame, because the back catalogue of Old English poetry — the deep cuts — are well worth reading.
