I like the website, although it wasn't the easiest to read on my iPhone 11. I don't speak German, but if I were to speak like this I imagine it would be understandable but maybe I would sound like a little kid or something - that&

Long live hacking! This is what Hacker News is all about. Great article and fun project!

I always found that even at startups we had to at least integrate with legacy solutions.

I had to do this once and, while I do recommend the experience for professional growth, it was not fun for the most part!

My friends and I joke about moving back to our home town to be together, possibly on the same block, mostly because of how cheap it would be. Truth is I have a lot of childhood and frankly recent trauma there and would never want to move ba

That is awesome, I dream of being able to do zero downtime SQL migrations.

Like... an involuntary book club? As in one person opened up that they read something like The Scarlet Letter? I'm sorry that you experienced that. At an old job I read a fiction series based on a suggestion from my manager but that&#x

I am not an accountant nor a lawyer but my hunch is that to engage with US companies from abroad you would either need to be transferred or apply for a job at an entity in the EU representing that employer or you would need to operate as a

I started my career as a print designer and hung around designer news, helped me into my transition to digital and then ultimately as a developer!

I thoroughly enjoyed this and it made me laugh out loud stupidly at the coffee shop, thank you for sharing!

Sounds like the best decision if you enjoy it and found love. I only ever hear great things about Montreal, my wife and I plan to visit from the US in a couple months on vacation, we're really excited!

Slow and steady wins the race, and the majority of startups fail. I agree that a balance needs to be struck and something needs to be done, but I'd favor a healthy cadence for my team than have them burn out and quit, leaving me holdin

What I've found in my experience is I started putting up boundaries instead of being a "yes" man and those I've worked with have responded pretty positively to it. Most of the time they're just trying to figure out

No, not since around 2017. I personally use Jekyll now for all my startup-y websites.

I flirt with the Who's Hiring threads all the time. One day I may apply to one, looks like interesting problem spaces in far off places.

I'm (re)learning French this year and I'll check out this app, looks cool. It seems many newer language apps are starting to focus on the "comprehensible input" method touted by language learning influencers like Steve K

Anyone else notice Netlfix also being laggy and shows crashing consistently in these past few months? I've pretty much stopped watching it in favor of HBO's streaming platform.

We did consider that, but we plan on taking enough enough weekend trips and trips to parents in rural areas that it may be too frequent to rent for each longer trip.

Thank you for that, that's a very detailed comparison! I use my Kia Soul like a truck sometimes, I've hauled around a push lawn mower plus tools as well as large music equipment, just laid canvas down in the back. Very useful. It

Great point. Do you know how much the size compares to a Kia Soul? We love our Soul for it's utility and size in an urban setting but for obvious theft-related reasons we don't want to own it for too long. :)

I think this is a very balanced take. Your point on checking to see if the gas engine will charge the EV battery is really important to keep in mind and I'll make sure I do that.

Thanks for you point of view on being a PHEV owner. These were all the benefits I was hoping for.

These maps seem to illuminate that I may have underestimated how much charging networks have grown, looks promising! Looks like at least most hotels offer some form of charging. Your anecdote about your friend though definitely drives home

Trading in both to just get one, we've identified with our current driving habits we only need one car. I should've clarified that in the post, my bad.

Genuine question, not wanting to start a flamewar, how is this any different then products like GameShark? Is the only difference between Gameshark's success and this mod device the current legal climate? Pretty harsh sentence for tink

In my experience as a self-taught programmer who switched careers to software, the first 3-4 years not much time at all to spend with family and friends. After that period you reach a plateau of sorts, the top of the bell curve, where you a

What do you think of "micro ORMs" like knex.js, or Dapper for C#? I personally agree with you and my personal projects just use stored procedures, but these micro orms have always piqued my interest since they're just a SQL a
