I love PostgreSQL, regardless of the version as far as it's >= 8. Super efficient and reliable RDBMS yet less "enterprise" that Oracle. I always wondered why MySQL gained more popularity.

European companies don't give you any stock/shares (even startups) as far as I heard from my friends who work in various countries in Europe. Benefits/perks are rather equal across the employers. Europe is a socialistic world

I worship the creativity of the author to connect Tetris, Czech Republic, Marc Andreessen, Dungeons & Dragons, Mortal Kombat, Clinton, Trump, and Putin.

I find that relatively quiet and less complex music works better for me – such genres as downtempo, nu jazz, trip hop. While I enjoy a very broad spectrum of music in general (from classical music to death metal, and from avant-garde jazz t

Could you please add screenshots? I myself was a huge fan of FastTracker and Impulse Tracker back in the 90s, but I don't think people are going to download this tool just out of curiosity without seeing pretty pictures of the music ap

Can you please elaborate what you find so "special" in those screenshots from the article? I mean how is it really different from most of the modern apps/websites?

+ Use some attractive subject and maybe a picture in the email (optional). Just to have better chances to draw attention.

I am so sorry to see that there are people so much limited in their way of thinking and with how they treat their and the others' lives. Hopefully you will learn your mistakes over next years. I will pray for you. :) I am afraid that I

You know, a few years back I had exactly the same attitude towards Git. I hated it, tried to approach multiple times and still hated it. But after working with Git on multiple projects, and having developed some deeper understanding of how

Nope. I can only reiterate that you've completely missed the point. It actually was that people may have different opinions, regarding their priorities in their lives as well. And it's only up to them to decide what those prioriti

I am not operating on that principle, actually. And I don't recommend anyone to follow it. I am not sure why you have come to this conclusion. My point was that saying that "all the successful people got successful because their p

Unfortunately, you still couldn't get the point I was trying to deliver. By the way, please note that I never argued with anyone here regarding their beliefs and personal views. Neither did I give them advice or ask to do something. I

I am afraid you are still not getting what I've been trying to explain. There might exist completely different perspectives and things can work differently for different people, different relationships, etc. Not spending a lot of time

by csbubbles 10y ago
There are some valid points in what you are saying. But they all depend very much on tons of personal things. E.g., on your relationship with your spouse and kids. I probably got lucky, and my wife understands what I am doing and why, and w

I've been married since 2003, and my daughter is 9 years old. And I do care about my business more than about my family.

I am not an investor, but a startup founder. Please don't take it the wrong way, but I would have never hired a person who thinks the way you write. I am sure you are a great person, skilled and experienced technically, and all that st

So it wasn't Apple's fault then, right? Which means it's a business between EU and Ireland, and Apple has nothing to do with it.

Brave Software incorporated more than 1 year ago. They raised $7M (?) over its existence. But no one practically knows about them. And who cares about ads and Bitcoin? I personally just ignore them everywhere, have kind of immunity already.

I've tried to read the article, but it was crazy difficult to me, incomprehensible. I could be just stupid, of course, or lazy. But 4,000 words to explain the idea doesn't seem right to me, really. So I went to the main page and t

Yep, exactly. You just need to compare everything against the same context.

There are a couple of things worth mentioning here. 1. "I have kids that I can use my vacation time for". If you think this way, you shouldn't apply for a job at a startup. You need to be prepared that there is a good chance

I believe you can apply the "parameters" exactly same way to everything. They are just different. The criteria could be: * The time one would need to implement some particular task (build a website, application, algorithm, etc.) –

Well, I hope over next years more artists will think the way we do. You know, people apparently can ignore the reality, but not forever. The music industry has changed a lot over last couple of decades because of the technology, and it will

There is no "copyright protection" really. It's just the illusion that major players in the music biz and their affiliates are trying to deliver to the crowd. Digital music was, is and will always be pirated, and you have no

This is actually a very good observation. Bandcamp is great as a music store (for both fans and artists), but the discovery mechanism is rather non-existent. We believe in the overall model and are trying to fix it here - http://

You know, this whole "flame" kind of thread happened based on your comment looks to me simply like the argument about the terminology (the meaning of particular words), and doesn't seem to be anyhow meaningful. If we think th

Bandcamp is the best. I personally admire those guys. Over last few years they have done for the music industry much more than anyone else in the business. Yet avoiding a huge buzz that the other players generate (like Spotify, Pandora, App

The content of the article is read rather like "I've been stuck with the simplest app for 10 days because I didn't really want to create one". If you want to create an app, you go and create one. If you want to play with
