   1. Learning a programming language 2. Learning some less-known flags and use cases for the tools we use everyday 3. Reasoning about OS features and how they work 4. Having fun Please, if you want to be this rude go back to your troll cave.

   I'm pretty sure that finding the right place could have a huge impact on the success of this project. Maybe even having a group of 10-20 "tech" families willing to relocate to a small town could have enough power to negotiate

   1) Vertical farming sounds great. It could help getting started a farm where land is expensive. I love the open sourcing idea. 2) I love this idea! It could be a way of providing additional income for the farm. Classic farms often offer vac

   I don't think that it has to be hippie at all. There would be some shared areas, but people would live at their own homes. The company and the farm would be shared, but that's the idea. Guess that the whole twist would be to not o

   Thanks for this information. Looks like CSA is a lot more common in North America than in Europe, but I guess there are similar solutions worldwide.

   Is there some interesting research paper one could read?

    It doesn't have to be 100% self-sufficient, that's not what I meant. I was thinking more about a community of families living around the same farm and company.

    I wasn't thinking about excluding non-tech people (my girlfriend has no tech background). I was just thinking about building a company with like-minded people with some technical skills and experience, while living together and working

    I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and this post definitely gives me some motivation. I'm a programmer who loves to code and build stuff, learning new programming languages and frameworks, discussing about architecture, e

    That's amazing! I'm going to write you some more questions during the weekend.

    Are you by any chance working in the tech industry + having a small farm? If yes, is it a viable lifestyle? Did you choose it or is it a family business? Sorry for the many questions, I'm curious because I've always been attracted

    I don't want to blame anyone, that wasn't my intent. But how do I express my opinion, that passing a language from parents to children is the best way of preserving an endagered language? I ask myself how is your "grumpy&quot

    I am a person who, as a polyglot, feels a lot of passion for languages, and can get really upset when I hear about languages that are dying. Guess you could compare the feeling with those of animal species getting extinct. I often ask mysel

    I don't want you to see this as a personal attack, but isn't it your father's fault not having taught you to speak this "dialect" (which, I guess, is a language called despectively a dialect)?

    > Schengen does not abolish visas across member states, as they had already been non-existent. I think that's not entirely true, as countries like Switzerland or Norway are not part of EU, so they have had visas which were abolished

    I guess the parent means something that has to do with the community being a bit hipster / infantile? Only guessing though.

    Could you elaborate on the nature of European VC's (as compared to American ones)? I'm genuinely curious.

    Efficiency is one thing, being a douche is another. Programmers are still human beings and while they might tolerate some harsher comments, they still affect them. Efficiency yes, but not above all.

    For some years now I have been using a quite funny mnemonic in order to remember how to extract a gzipped tar. It reads "eXtract Ze File" with German accent ;)
