Why use a throw away account? You could earn many points from the woke by proclaiming your religion loudly. Contrary to what you say, HN moderators kill these threads quite fast especially because... many on HN are anti woke. Fundamentall

The whole article shows what happens when there's no economic growth: people eat themselves. The woke stick is used very well by younglings to smack old people. These younglings will be experts at leaving no trace. After they have pass

Hm, doesn't look marginal to me. A heat pump is like 5X-10x more costly and requires quite specialist install. An air conditioning unit is pretty easy to install by normal technicians.

Last I checked a heat pump is considerably more expensive than an air conditioner. And a regular air conditioner can probably only heat when the outside is not freezing. I would actually want to get a heat pump but it's basically prohi

We recently had to do a Signal bot and for an elegant codebase it sure is lacking in terms of libraries. Not to mention the license being as aggressive as possible to prevent any clients of any kind.

Spacemacs had some Neovim-like fame at some point. I don't see it promoted that much anymore.

I did not see this play out. Geek bonding did not happen as much and faded after school when everybody was getting enough geek stimulation at work. I've seen a great female gang from the University. But they were from random classes an

Curious: jarring how? I saw an excellent educational video recently from a guy that was, how to put it, dressed almost like a hobo.

Well, it's not like Germany would want to sell more expensive cars or something?! :) Note that expensive entry level cars compete with the used cars. Plenty of them. Somehow those are still able to drive on the road despite not having

If it's any books that need a Reader's Digest, it's self help books. There's so much filler in Atomic Habits it's amazing. I think 10 pages would be too much for what was actually covered. I wonder if somebody actua

I'm sure you are right about what you said, but the whole tone and field of photography reminded me of a photograph we hired. He imagined himself as such a great artist that although doing work for hire was afraid we might use our pers

Atomic Habits is a book that should have been a long blog post. It's amazing how many self help book could be a pamphlet with 10 printed pages for more details.

I see it the other way around. The "movement" does not exist without RMS. FSF itself is pretty woke nowadays so they have diluted and taken their mission in another direction. As for the RMS attacks, he did the heresy of thinking

There is a logic here that's visible with salary talks in the EU: people only care about what they receive, not taxes; so all salary talk ignores taxes, all raises ignore taxes, all tax increases are irrelevant as long as they get in-h

I too saw one of these. Very odd since I was expecting a note about a job.

Sigh. I understand now... I wonder if this could be tracked somehow. NFTs used as 'receipts' probably never get sold again.

by xunn0026 4y ago
Maybe I'm too naive, but what's NFT have to do with it? Couldn't they send any crypto instead? What does it accomplish? I never heard of this usecase, which makes me believe it's too convoluted to be true.

Epic Games was forced to pay Apple $6M because between August 2020 and October 2020, their direct payment method (on iOS alone) took in $12M. Of course, Apple felt entitled those $6M were well deserved given the "curation" they p

They have like 100 people in Prague, another 100 in Munich and then 1000 in Russia. Safe to say they are a Russian company with an EU "presence" for tax purposes. It's amazing how much people will close an eye if they like th

The article is a bit embarrassing to be honest. And framing the thing to remember it forever?! Move on, person, move on. I would kinda not want to deal with such an attitude as an employee or as a partner. You are not Steve Jobs man! Though

That's a very... generous take. On my 1st London iPhone dev meetup there was a single representative from Apple: a biz dev guy! He asked a single question, when I commented the review process is annoying (compared to anything we had ba

This would be a great US engineering accomplishment but it's a terrible Chinese accomplishment because it may be used in war. As if the US is not capable of and eager to weaponise absolutely everything! This shows China is ahead in the

I assume you didn't write SVGs by hand for 10 years. Publishing open source is like me publishing only the binaries of my tool and thn saying because it's free it's also 'open source'. So, assuming you used some too

This is more of a reason. I've never heard of somebody writing software alone for 10 years and the releasing it. If anything open source should encourage early open sourcing, doing work in the public, accepting contributions, etc. I th
