There's also a tradition for peers to "bestow" that title on someone who they feel deserves it. You don't call yourself a hacker just like you don't call yourself a maestro.

I'd like to add that if you only look at the brands and stores, you might not see a lot of difference. But if you read/listen to the news, talk to the people or just overhear their conversations in the streets, you'll probabl

I like HN, but I still feel it was a mistake to call it that ("Hacker"). That's like calling yourself an expert, maestro, champion, etc. Sounds self-conceited and/or insecure. And besides, it's more about figuring o

Have you used PostgreSQL before using Citus? If yes, could you share any pain points compared to plain PG (joins, write performance, lack of full SQL support? anything that comes to mind).

Don't know about Buffett, but I don't get Gates either. He was a ruthless businessman using every trick in the book (legal and illegal) to solidify his company's monopoly.

Place an ad on craigslist? I'd be careful though. A friend of mine searched for an activity partner there, and ended up getting married a few years later.

My argument is that South Ossetian leaders did do "whatever they wanted" there, and the Russians condoned and helped them, contrary to what you're alluding to above.

South Ossetia is Georgia. Which even the Russians claimed at the time.

Well, "treating Russia with respect" to Russia means "let us do with our neighbouring countries as we please regardless of their wishes". So of course _that_ had to be declined.

This is not true. Unless by "initiated their conflict" you mean cessation from the USSR in 1991.

The only downside I can see is that it takes a fair amount of time (about 7-14 days) from the moment you move money in to the moment you get your exchanged money out. It'll take your brokerage several working days to "journal&quot

> Good Ukrainians spell it 'Kyiv', because that's how the Ukrainian nationalists do it. Not really, that's how it's tranliterated from Ukrainian. "Kiev" is a transliteration from Russian.

For sure, but then there are mainstream static languages like Java/Scala which still lack that kind of support (e.g. ensime and friends, which work unpredictably, if at all).

I wouldn't go to Russia either, but Kyiv is a great place to visit. I also recommend Lviv while you're at it - one of the most charming European towns I've ever seen. And of course Georgia: it's very easy to fly from Kyi

It was actually 100% because both of the questions asked at the referendum meant secession from Ukraine; i.e. it wasn't a simple "yes" or "no", it was essentially "secede immediately" or "do it a bit

I think these questions are a mute point here, because Crimea wasn't annexed to appease the people of Crimea; it was annexed to deliberately f * up Ukraine and boost Putin's popular support in Russia.

I agree, a common standard would be good. That said, experience taught me to distrust any proposed standard that comes out of Microsoft. Besides, I find that with the programming editor communities, such standards are not that important - a

Do they do static analysis of code? The problem is that with other languages they all work "sort of". For example, for Elpy: "the backends can not always identify what kind of symbol is at point. Especially after a few indire

IDE functionality, similar to what godef/guru for Golang offer. But I'd settle on any mostly working jump-to-definition tool for Ruby/Python/Java that can be integrated with Vim/Emacs.

I see nothing wrong with that - those _are_ fatal conditions that indicate that something is dangerously wrong in the program. And those panics do give you a helpful stack trace, complete with source code line numbers, so it's easy to

Check out godef/guru - they let you do all those things (and more) in a text editor.

To each their own, but Go is probably the only mainstream language that has first class integration with text editors. So I wouldn't let that stop me from using it, unless you can't see yourself using a text editor at all.
