Not only that. As a user it's incredibly frustrating entering a password 5 or more times each morning. This results in users using extremely weak passwords. The same is true for forcing users to reset their password every 50 days or so

Everytime this is coming up, I wonder why people were always okay with banning nudity but now that hate speech (that undeniably agitates people and leads to hate crime) gets banned, they oppose content blocking.

That's a lesson many CS or maybe even all STEM grads have to learn at some point. Especially politics is more complicated than any code you can design. There is quite a bit of elitism when programmers talk about real-life events but ad

I read on the German news about the Dutch incident and came to HN because I knew that somebody would've posted about it here. Found this thread and didn't fully read the headline, just "Boeing" and "engine failure&q

I recently watched a documentary about aluminum smelting and this topic came up. An engineer said that they have a 6 hours time frame. If the power doesn't come back on, the aluminum hardened too much and all smelters are lost forever.

I don't see how having "NaN" or "undefined" in a number field makes any difference to just putting the value there. If you are using a strongly typed language, this will not be a problem. SQLite made a design choice

They are vague because they want you to leave your contact details. Then a sales person will call you and gladly tell you everything you want to know and spam you with newsletters and marketing materials until eternity. That's B2B for

Microsoft is selling it as a package deal. .NET and VS go hand in hand. The current LTS release of .NET Core 3.1 has a broken socket implementation that can lead to deadlocks on Linux and macOS. Microsoft will not fix it in 3.1 LTS and reco

The WinForms designer for .NET Core in Visual Studio is still broken and doesn't work with third-party controls. The whole WinForms team at Microsoft is afaik less than 5 developers strong who are also working on other things on the si

Hacker News represents only a pretty small fraction of the IT world. There are many, many companies out there doing things Hacker News never heard of because it's not related to web or startups. What I do at my day job would be conside

This a very important skill, especially for lead devs. To people downvoting this, think back when you were last annoyed by bad or even missing documentation. I bet this was very recently, if not today.

Dutch people don't want to hear this but the Netherlands are a tax haven just like Ireland. Luxembourg and Switzerland aren't actually that attractive for tax avoidance anymore.

Tesla lost the right to call their drive assistance "Autopilot" in Germany because Tesla couldn't stop implying that their cars were already very close to FSD and more capable than they actually are.

You don't have to file taxes in Germany except if you and your spouse are filing together or if you are self employed. Everything else is being handled by your employer. If you want to get some of your pre-paid taxes back, you will hav

Do you think the bitcoin mining rigs materialize themselves out of thin air? Those things get constantly replaced because they get inefficient due to the rising hashrate and advancements in chip efficiency.

Even if it were all green energy, why not use it to produce aluminum or to get rid of coal instead of wasting it on math puzzles?

Then why waste electricity in the equivalent of Denmark on math puzzles just to write 1MB of data every 10 minutes?

I think it's time for freelance developers to behave like companies. Write big tech support once, wait a week and if the issue isn't solved, contact a lawyer and let them handle it. Otherwise you will be eternally bouncing around
