Poor choice of words on my end: "potential regulations that might get imposed"* as to what sort of data can an rss reader display, how it can be linked and all that mumbo jumbo ( similar scenario to this[0] or when google news got

That's cool, thanks! Scrolling through HN lately, I'm getting the feeling that RSS is making a comeback and trustfully I've always liked the idea behind RSS. What worries me these days is how regulations might get twisted if

+1 on this one. I've fiddled with angular dart for instance and tbh as someone who is horrible with doing frontend and hates js with a passion, this was enjoyable. Yet the release of the newer version[0] is taking forever. [0] https:&

I'm actually a great fan of flutter and imo it is the best cross-platform solution out there. Probably except for web: though it produces very good result performance-wise, the end result is never really "web" and doesn'

I refuse to use GUI's for multiple reasons and I've been using the -m flag for as long as I can remember... Truthfully I've never been big on fancy IDE's or GUI's, which eat up cpu, memory and disk io like a bodybui

The way I see it: free advertising. Nothing beats piggybacking on a hot topic by presenting a non-issue as an actual issue or a threat. Which is what that is, given that as far as cs is concerned, "master" and "slave" re

I've always hated carousels with a passion. Even if they provide some sort of valuable information, by the time your attention is focused on it, it usually jumps to the next "slide" or whatever they are called. So yes, you sh

From personal experience, and as someone who has been in the same company for 8 years, and have turned down multiple offers, even for a compensation that's been magnitudes higher, I can list only one thing: The team(or at large fractio

Like many other drivers, Hakkinen was a bit short on luck. Similar to Raikkonen for that matter who missed out at least on a second championship because of an unreliable car. Don't get me wrong, I agree that today's cars are much

I have watched almost all of them actually. And while I was ~10 in the late 90's and not interested, I have recently watched GPs from that era and none of the recent GPs can stand up to the Schumacher vs Hakkinen races. Many of the dri

I agree completely with all points, though it's nowhere nearly as entertaining as it was up until ~2007. I mean there have been only a handful of GPs that were interesting over the last few years. Coincidentally yesterday's GP was

This is surprisingly easy. Unless you have some medical condition, in which case it may be impossible. ~2 years ago I was 110 kilos, 185cm. Borderline obese. Now I'm in the upper 60's. The 6(8 turns out in my case) packs became a

Perhaps a bit of an unpopular opinion but as far as interviews go, I think that seeing how someone reacts unprepared is a lot more valuable then seeing their work with them knowing what to expect. You see their ability to adapt and improvis

On a semi-related note, I wonder why, even though I'm right-handed, my left hand is considerably stronger than my right one or how common this phenomenon is.

I've had similar thoughts over the years and while there is a lot that's wrong with the internet, issues like banning, propaganda and so on, are neither symptoms nor a consequence of it. It has nothing to do with the internet and

It's no secret that I've had my fair amount of criticism towards AWS's billing and how unpredictable it becomes, even if you read every fine print and take everything into account. Especially if you are a heavy user, "co

This is the problem. The upvoting-downvoting is a good idea in principle but it does not (and cannot) take human subjectivity into account, which is what makes it fundamentally flawed. By the way this is an extension of the same problem as

Nice initiative. There are plenty of movies coming from these parts that never got the exposure they deserve. For instance a very little known fact is that the premiere of The Goat Horn[1] was postponed by the Soviet Union's order beca

I disagree a lot here. I did study abroad and I'd argue that this might have been a one of the best things that has ever happened to me: 1. This is completely false. You have just as much time as you would have had back at home. Yes, y

Those numbers are real, no doubt about it but even if you potentially have the skills and knowledge to compete for those positions, your odds of getting such a job are still incredibly slim. If you are young, immensely talented(for the lack

Yes, no kids. And personally I'm __way__ above my 100%. 3 weeks in we did our largest release by a considerable margin(double digit larger than the second largest). Which is mind boggling still, considering the project itself is compos

Contrary to what I imagined, better than ever. Work: Incredibly smooth, even if I'm confined to a 13 inch laptop as opposed to 2x 26 inch screens (OK, I occasionally hook up my TV for extra help). Peace, quiet, fully able to focus on m

It's probably not universal for all people but I can tell you what changed things for me: what I'd call a "critical mass of unfortunate events". At one point in my life(early 20's) I ended up alone, far from my pare

The spying argument is not exactly applicable for most scenarios. I mean you know you are taking a risk when you're using proprietary software running on servers that aren't yours, whether the privacy issues are intentional or des

Sure, I'll elaborate: video and audio quality is identical to that of Yahoo! messenger from the late 90's. As soon as I open zoom, it eats up about 80% of my CPU (without being in a call or anything). Controls work 60% of the time

IMO, Zoom has the worst user experience of all video conferencing tools by a long shot, at least on Linux, regardless of whether you are a paying user or not. And while Skype was doing a terrible job for years, these days it's light ye

Exactly. Words cannot describe what sort of behaviors I've witnessed over the years. I.e. someone right-clicking copy-pasting 256 separate lines one by one into a text field. Normally a developer would never even consider such a scenar
