You're being pretty quick to judge here. I've never worked on a startup and have no intention to do it. I live in a poor country where the average developer earns $8k/year and very few of us have any fallback. Mentioning star

Honestly I think it's sad how much the community still underestimates gaming. I tried using wine or even using Steam directly on Linux, but playing any game with 30-40% less performance is ridiculous. If you really like games, Linux is

I'd argue that's only valid if you're a small company. Once you're a huge corporation with tons of stakeholders, it seems inevitable that you will compromise customers in favor of profits sooner or later.

Either you're being naive or maybe a zen monk? I know my tastes and try my best to not be influenced by marketing, but I wouldn't dare say "I was never influenced by an ad". The very things you want or want to avoid are

> This argument concerns me, it's not like ads can take over your mind. Advertising's main goal is to take over your mind. They want you to think of something and immediately put a brand on it, to spend your money on them above

I'd argue it's actually easier to cope when what you need is repetitive hard physical labor. You don't go to sleep thinking about that big problem you still haven't solved. You actually get the satisfaction of doing the

Unfortunately I live in a corrupt country where public work would possibly be even more harmful than private work. The incredible amount of wasted potential from human beings spent in the endless race for profits makes me sick. The irony of

I often get surprised how deep we got hooked into the system. We tell ourselves unless we're doing something (no matter how useless that is) we're worthless. Everything becomes a different kind of procrastination. We feel producti

But the server code has been part of games for ages. You could argue even a game like Minecraft (which is not totally DRM free) includes the server code, so players (and companies) can setup servers as they please. The only reason I can see

Serious question: why? Unless the company is lying and it IS a real vulnerability, writing an article about it seems harmless to me. OFC that if I planned on writing an article I'd be open about it beforehand, but that feels like a cou

And unlike on this scenario, you can't have insurance on whatever YT can do to you. You're likely starting from (almost) zero no matter what.

On my case, I've switched to tiling window managers because it streamlined my work and made me a lot more efficient. It has nothing to do with "performance" in the computing sense. I've tried to use the existing "co

Isn't that impossible? I mean, capitalism is literally profits above everything else. Since evil marketing == profits, it will never change. It will only get worse.

It's so easy to label things erroneously. No, this is not Marxism. I can't even claim to have ever read his books. It's the reality of what I see today. Note that I'm not saying in any way how we should solve these thing

I see this canned response all the time. But it's a gross oversimplification of the issue designed to keep the ignorant happy. The cheap things from china, all your amazon crap, your iPhones and all the rest of the so called "nice

I have to agree here. Out of all the things I've seen, the hero part was the only one that made me cringe. Other than that, I couldn't figure out much of what this product can offer me. For a while I thought it was yet another Nod

This comment makes no sense. Show HN is supposed to gather feedback, not "likes". If you don't want honest feedback, then why bother posting here? I find people take honest criticism as personal attacks way too often. Nothing

I remember what made me click was using a bit of assembly. If you imagine your code as a sequence of instructions, recursion is basically a `JMP` to the start of the stack again, normally with different values. Once a condition is met, inst

I think Google is way more than just "search". No other engine knows everything about you. Knows what you read, what you dislike, your appointments, your travels, etc. While there are alternatives for search, it's only search

I have to warn you that I spent a lot of money on one of those and it simply did not work. CPAP was my salvation. Glad to see it works for some people, but for me I felt scammed by the doctor that after a while simply said "you should

So, not really remote. More like a "work from home" style. A good remote culture allows someone in any timezone to be part of it or it loses the greatest advantage of remote working. If working together is the only social activity

It's early optimization at the architecture level. I've seen it happen so many times. On top of all you said, the GraphQL stack is horrible for caching. You will not have this problem until you reach really high traffic, but once

It's not really the tool's purpose. I was thinking of a favorites list for me to not lose track of what I liked. Or perhaps create different lists for ease of use. Really not something I can't do with a list of my own, but I&

I like this a lot. Even though there are probably others similar out there, this one looks more straight to the point. It doesn't hide the actual link for the website and has a very good one line description for each product in a clean

Living in a completely unsustainable capitalism system, I am surprised how much we're stuck in our own little bubbles. Personal finance shouldn't even be a thing. We have the capacity to provide every basic need to everyone, but w
