Please don't go the web developer (javascript) path; node, react, webpack, etc.. It will drive you nuts, things keep changing radically in a very high pace and can take quite some time before you feel comfortable in this crazy field. I

You must be very naive to believe all that.. The actual amount of cocaine smuggled into the Netherlands is currently higher than ever before. Also, the street value for 3Kg of cocaine is far above 50.000 euro's, do you realise how poor

What a lie this is.. In reality there is the decade old problem that the Dutch justice system cannot handle the amount of criminals. Not enough judges and money for that. Partly because of this it has become very hard in the Netherlands to

A virtual machine might be a solution, just leave it full screen for them when you leave home. I've given up trying to educate my parents best practice with pc's, it doesn't seem to work.

Indeed, that's how they do that, in the hope the horde will follow their made up winner. Unfortunately most media in this world are more corrupt than people are willing to believe.

I think you shouldn't dislike computers for not enjoying what other people do with it. But a part of the magic of computers and the internet in the 90's is definitely gone, for ever, true. But hey, would you prefer to go back to c

Just watch the Udacity add from 2016. Besides the price tag on that video (paid from students money), most scenes look more like science fiction than the reality of what we achieve with the jobs we do! It's business as usual. The probl

> Price controls are a terrible solution I never mentioned price controls in general. In Auckland, New Zealand, investors are buying property and houses en masse. They blow up the market price for profit. In the news you can read that mo

This is not only about Greece, a house is a basic necessity of live, wether you can find a job or not. Governments should cap the price per square meter so a house will always be available for everyone. As it is now you cannot really buy a

First off, I'm not angry, but I do have some right to complain. There is not really an alternative laptop of the build quality of the mac book pro, and they are degrading it! This is a hardware issue, I never liked Apple software, only

I am especially worried by the lies that we all create in our own minds by repeating erroneous thoughts with our own thinking. People being convinced about things that are not true or only partially true can be quite scary, more so when tho

I am 100% sure My macbook pro keyboard is really damaging my fingers/joints. I stopped coding all day on my macbook because my hands really started to hurt very badly, suffering some sort of RSI. Then I decided to start coding on my Co

I think it is totally irrelevant what the exact pitch is. I play guitar for over 40 years and I rarely tune my guitar exactly to 432 or 440, instead, I often tune my guitar about a whole note lower because I like the sound of the strings wi

Shame on you for blaming Y Combinator. If it was 1.25 million for Clinton you would probably praise Y Combinator, no? This feels more like a clash between your personal political preferences and Mr Thiels's. You are just blaming Y Comb

I might be wrong, but I expect Elon Musk to become one of the most exceptional hero's of our times. No other billionaire is creating sustainable businesses like Tesla and Power Wall for the good of as many people as possible. He risks
