In the Netherlands the cities are basically flat and worldwide this is the exception rather then the norm. Ride your bike on a slope and you can easily reach 60 km/h. Also 20 km/h or 15 km/h is still enough to produce serious

KeePass isn't a solution in case you want to share passwords with family or team members. KeePass is barely decent for personal use only, and only for the desktop. The quality of the available apps differs from platform to platform. Fo

This year I fell off my bike twice. One time my wheels skidded while trying to get on a sidewalk and I would have hit my head if I didn't wear a helmet. Another time a girl jumped in front of me on the bike lane and I must've had

Isn't that kind of thinking what got us here in the first place? We may not even know the full range of micro-nutrients that the soil has been depleted of.

People invest in open source when they believe in its continuity. No, people sending patches are not necessarily benefiting from it. Patches can be very expensive and it can be cheaper to pay for actual support with a proprietary solution t

The "spirit of the GPL" is invoked a lot here, however you have to consider that... MongoDB Inc does NOT play by the same rules as everyone else because they own the copyright. When a piece of software is useful on its own and sur

We live in the world where we can see a bait and switch for what it is. MongoDB was advertised as being Open Source and Free Software , distributed under an OSI-compliant and FSF-compliant license. Now they are trying to eat their cake

The GPL is only a copyright license. The GPL DOES NOT impose restrictions on usage, where "usage" vs "distribution" gets defined by copyright law itself. That's one of GPL's biggest strengths. Also successful s

Growing up in communism, under the Iron Curtain, we weren't finding too much milk in the eighties at the store, so our source for dairy was the country side, friends, family, grandparents, so I grew up with raw milk. Raw milk from gras

If you're living at the country side, producing your own milk is healthier, can be a good hobby while you're young and a great occupation after you're retired. Manual labor is good exercise and can be fulfilling. But I'd

RSS isn't dead. Smart bloggers will always expose an RSS feed, because readers following your RSS feed are more likely to read your blog than traffic from other sources. Having an RSS feed is the slightly weaker version of the mailing

I follow many blogs, many of them of individual developers and if you're not on Wordpress or Medium (ugh), then the next common choice is a static website generator like Jekyll or equivalent. Some of them don't have RSS feeds. But

Thinking that eating fake meat is like eating plants is ... similar to thinking that crack cocaine has similar effects with coca leaves. I expect more from HN :-)

The number one reason is that we've eaten red meat for millions of years, literally. Given fake meat is new and I'm not seeing it in stores nearby yet, I'm going to assume a fair comparison will take another decade, after the

I think the fake meat movement will go the way of Margarine. Initially it's celebrated as a feat of engineering and as the healthy alternative to meat. After about 10 to 20 years however, we'll see cancer and heart disease rates g

F# is missing OCaml modules and functors, which are the biggest reason to prefer OCaml versus other similar languages. OCaml also has structural typing via row polymorphism. And GADTs. It's easy to dismiss this as "type theoretic
