I don't blame this woman. I'm not pissed at her. I'm pissed, however, at the politicians who have created this dependency web to trap people like this woman and ensure that there will always be a need for do-gooder politicia

But she has no job in the first place or possibility to find one now with the baby - so why would that prevent her from washing/ironing?

Your comment is completely contradictory. You say the OP's comment reeks of privilege/ignorance, but you go ahead and expect government privilege in $CURRENY_YEAR. The OP was commenting that certain people leech and do not want to

Correct me if I am wrong, but the car followed the bolder line instead of a barely visible one? Could it be sunlight + concrete + bad vision of the lane line?

I saw in your other comments that you do mobile/full-stack dev - my email is on my profile and I do mainly backend dev work in Python and Elixir if you need any help.

Oh, please. Have you even read anything that OP wrote? The OP specifically said that he feels like leading the projects and adding a lot of value. 32k in euros before taxes is awful. No one will give you anything unless you ask for it. Expl

I am describing common knowledge in Balkan agriculture - in Vojvodina, Serbia, it is widely known that after harvesting sugar beets you simply can't have a solid harvest no matter what you plant for the next 5 or more years, and our la

Exactly due to need for availability of variety of fruit and vegetables are where we are today in terms of nutrition and GMO food.

by bkovacev 9y ago
Exactly this. For instance after sugar beet has been harvested, the land needs 5-10 years to regenerate back to proper nutrient levels and may not yield anything.

Absolutely. Decreasing the amount of time I spent on social media has increased the quality of my life by at least 10 times. Before I used to feel intimidated going to the gym, posting on my tech blog, simply because everyone else was just

Fasting is actually something I have been doing as well lately that helped me maintain (and lose a bit) my weight properly and that one meal less a day meant a lot. Do you not feel the urge to always be online when you're working from

One thing that I feel will be the key is that I won't have to worry about missing out on something before 9am or after 5pm once I leave the office, it will help me "containerize" work.

by bkovacev 9y ago
Exactly this. Building systems that work for myself has probably been one of the hardest things and is taking a lot of trial and error.

Currently the sunrise here is at 6:45-7am. I'm up between 5:45-6:00 by myself anyway, but I usually just waste that time checking email/reading HN/reddit. I will make sure to not check phone until 7am. These are my plans and

After working remotely for 4 years I am switching back to the office at least 3 days a week and moving back to our company HQ in the States. Hardest challenge for me was staying in shape, because I lacked self-discipline to workout and eat

Webapp2 or something else? :) It's been so long I've seen someone use python on GAE, it's ridiculous. It was my first ever "real world" programming project back in 2011.

We've recently started hiring for a junior front-end position and we've stumbled upon code bootcamps graduates asking for 120k with one or two demo projects on their github. NYC Area, which I find absurd. Unsure if it's the m

When out of the whole article you point out something that is not the focus of the article and introduce a true and undeniable fact that is (unfortunately) most often used as a way of scoring political points on the Balkan from both sides,

For the downvoters - you obviously have zero idea how much of an issue this presents on the Balkan. Embrace Tesla's work, not origin or nationality, it really does not matter.

by bkovacev 9y ago
Why does it always have to be someone that involves politics into this? Tesla during his life said he is of Serbian origin and thinks of himself as a Serbian, even though he was born in Croatia. Don't steer it up in here too, I'd

We use multiple things. * We do code reviews and inline/trello todos. If we're on a tight schedule, this helps us remember why and what needs to be reworked. * When adding new features we use regular development cycle (spec, desig

As someone who had programming in the 8th grade (Basic/turbo), the knowledge I received was a short-term one. Anything complex like calculators, games did not work for me/my peers. 8th grade math/logical thinking is not at th

I dislike them quite a bit honestly due to the way things have been developing for a while, but it's getting tedious that every time I open HN all I see is Uber.

by bkovacev 9y ago
I'll probably get downvoted but is there a specific reason that any uber related story is always in top 10? Can there be a day when there aren't any?

I wish I had more solid evidence to call bs on this, but from my real world experience this is far from the truth.
