   I miss Perl. I managed a startup that built in Perl and C++ simultaneously. The Perl MVP allowed us to get into customer premises right away and we fed that learning back into the C++ version (on which our acquisition was based). In retrosp

   Websites are funded by open source. Open source developers didn’t give it all away to reduce the cost of ad delivery.

   The author believes Mullvad is sincere about security. I don't believe that's true for other VPN providers.

   Article says data is anonymized before dev use. Pretty standard practice.

   Nice site but would look more pro if the spelling errors were corrected.

    Using the title is a little more than paying a fee. I have an MSc in CS from a Canadian University and that doesn't get me very close to a P.Eng.

    I remember migrating job titles from SW Engineer to SW Developer for this reason. Over 20 years ago, Alberta specifically.

    Hard to imagine loss leader birds are raised in acceptable conditions. The article mentions Costco is being sued over this.

    Customer support doesn’t scale so it is minimized. Stripe is not unique in this regard.

    Looks fun. I only have positive nostalgia for a couple of my CS courses and compiler construction is one of them.

    I wish they wouldn't break the back button by inserting a redirect when you visit via a search engine.

    Maybe I just hate money but IMO there are no good cashback schemes. A merchant-to-consumer wealth transfer that piggybacks on every transaction? Has a smell of fraud or corruption but not stinky enough for American regulators. Good job to t

    It's unethical. As unethical firms are powered by unethical people, I wouldn't consider a job applicant with work history in this sector (e.g. AirBnB engineers need not apply if I'm the hiring manager).

    I found the summary accurate, at least from my knowledge of the treatment of indigenous people in Canada (the subject of this HN post).

    Good read. After reading this article I picked up Moitessier's memoir of the race. Since simplification and minimalism were key to his philosophy, it stood out that he almost ended his race for lack of a radio (he crashed into another

    Seems like some assumptions baked in there. Each working half-time would be more equitable and probably a more resilient arrangement.

    The article, and people in general, don’t seem to acknowledge that consumption has increased as well. For example my 795sqft house would not be on the radar of most families but it was typical for the area when it was built in 1946. Product
