Well, that's good to hear! I'm surprised by how happy people seem to be using a laptop monitor, but at least it's their choice.

Laptop use and poor posture go hand in hand. An external keyboard can also work as it allows you to move the laptop display to a better position, but if you're going to do that you might as well go all the way and get a decent monitor

I'm an HN reader who does not earn $100k+. In my view, very, very, very few programmers really deserve more than about $200k at most. If you're earning $100k+ and you don't have children or extenuating circumstances such as

If a US politician can be substantially influenced by $10-50k - how many reasonably well paid Bay Area software engineers could be out actively buying influence using nothing but their personal salary?

Or, say, one gets sued over information that you're not supposed to have and a court orders you to delete all copies. How do you comply with that?

I think the fact that Kielsmeier continued to come to work until age 95 is a fairly strong indicator that he was reasonably satisfied with his employment arrangements.

The unique aspect of the US model isn't that they tax income worldwide - it's that they tax income worldwide on citizens who reside anywhere in the world . As an Australian who lives in Australia, I have to pay Australian income

This is probably the most important lesson I learned when I started doing kernel and firmware work - the Linux kernel is, fundamentally, just a C program - albeit quite a complex one where you don't have the standard library and you se

IIRC, when the DOS/Windows shell needs to resolve "program" to either "program.com" or "program.exe", the .com file takes precedence - ISTR this being abused by malware once upon a time.

Hmm, poor choice of words - I don't really mean removing that niche from consideration, but rather ignoring anyone who thinks that that niche is in fact the main way 3D printing is going to change the world.

3D printing is a far cooler technology once you ignore the maker-community and the ridiculous claim that home 3D printing is going to completely revolutionise life for the majority of the population. Being able to 3D print a custom-patterne
