The way it happened to me, it was just totally unexpected and I decided to go with it, no strings attached. Don't think too much about it, take it as an experience, you have nothing to lose after all (subjective, depends on how much yo

A thing that we all have to consider is that we've all been beginners once, it really does not matter. Throughout my entire academic career (bachelor + master in CS) I've met my fair share of brilliant people that still struggled

Javascript is as much of a bytecode for the web as Java is a bytecode for the JVM. It is not. Where would we be if we could only execute Java on the JVM? Clojure and Scala transpiled into Java? Can you imagine how terrible that would be?

Alternative to 'princ' doesn't have to be 'print', it could be any of 'print-out' 'output' 'put' 'write' 'write-output', and that's just off the top of my head

From the HN posting guidelines: please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait. I'd say this title should be changed to the original, as it is now it smells like clickbait. Or at least its purpose seems to draw un

Happiness is very hard to define. Some people (most of them, actually) might be content with what they do, it doesn't mean that they are intrinsically happy about it. I've spent my fair share of time in isolation and I have to say

Even within the EU it can be a total pain to set up the proper taxing documents and everything. It's certainly simpler, but not that immediate, you still need an infrastructure to support it.

If you are interested about Krita, may I also recommend checking out MyPaint? The two programs are similar but very different also, I routinely use them both. What I like about Krita is that it's very powerful, its interface has a lot

Do you have a workstation in each spot to go work on? Or do you work specifically on your laptop? I find that even with a company-issued laptop, as awesome as it is, it can't compare to a 2-3 monitors workstation if I really need to

You don't have to , you can do it. And who said anything about buying it on your own dime? It depends on the company but I'm fairly sure any of the big companies with such open offices will provide them to you for free upon reque

Mind I recommend earplugs if you want absolute quietness? Sometimes I do wear headphones on without anything playing, because they provide really good sound isolation. You could get specifically noise-canceling headphones for that. Regardin

Calling tortellini or lasagne "pasta" is like calling balsamic vinegar "vinegar". The fact that you still lump pasta all together after living in Italy for some time tells me you did not have the time to experience all t

You really need to take the time to learn and appreciate the food culture in Italy, oddly we have a very diverse and broad/spread culture all over the country. I personally don't enjoy Neapolitan cuisine that much but even that it

Well, the ISS was actually built as a constant iterative process, it wasn't just sent on space as is and then assumed operative. Also I'd assume the first module that was sent to space might have contained humans already right on

This makes me wonder, I assume they have procedures to dock a deserted ISS, right? What would happen in case of an emergency where both teams (3+3) have to return back to Earth, leaving ISS without a crew? Will they be able to "get bac

I always bring this up when people talk about case sensitive/insensitive. Traditionally, a machine only sees the difference in glyphs, not in letters. 'a' is a different glyph to 'A'. We are used to dealing with cas
