Kinda - at the moment I'm receiving _a lot_ of documents, mostly as PDFs via E-Mail (some the original digital version, some scans of physical copies), but some via post as well. I've only added documents I've received this y

I recall running into the odd one or two like that - I have vague memories that it was because searching was _slow_ and it didn't take more than a few people using it to bring the site to its knees. Restricting it to logged in users he

It's an interesting one because anyone developing a software-only product has the opposite incentive - putting as much on the cloud as possible reduces support costs - no more "it says it's compatible with Windows, but doesn&

As far as legal obligations go, that's mostly going to depend on the country you're in, and how they're engaging you. If you're a full-time employee with an unlimited contract, ideally they'd employ you under their

Why would Nazis (or flat-earthers or QAnon or any other group likely to receive _substantial_ challenges to their world-view) stay somewhere where they'd be challenged, though? On a Reddit-like platform they'd downvote and/or

I'd describe intrinsic rewards as "the thing, in and of itself, is enjoyable" and so if you're motivated primarily by intrinsic rewards, then doing anything that doesn't tickle that part of your brain tends to be so

Yeah, doesn't really work for me either - even when I knew that I'd be much happier after completing the task (e.g., cleaning my room), but nope. I'd just sit there, staring at what I had to do, unable to do it. Then I star

They're pretty big. I've got a fairly basic JavaFX app that's compiled with Graal, and it weighs in at 98MB, or 32MB when zipped.

Errr... What do you mean by "easily affordable"? A quick look on Amazon says that I'd be paying something like €18.80/TB, so buying 400TB would be €7,520 - far out of the range of the majority of hobbyists. Plus a 100GBE

It actually hasn't, which is really frustrating. It's not possible to watch F1 online via F1TV in Germany - you must watch it via Sky who have purchased the exclusive streaming rights up to 2024, which is €20/month or so (a

I think a lot of HN readers would find Foundry VTT to be a good choice - one-off fee, self-hostable, very, very extensible. I think it's worth pointing out that VTTs (Foundry, Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, etc) don't tend to be good at

In Germany, 5 - 20 years seems to be pretty common. I haven't seen 30 years, but I wouldn't say it was impossible.

In addition to what everyone else has said, that would presumably prevent you from writing statements like "a++" or "a += 1" - instead you'd have to write "a = (a + 1) as u8", which seems like it would get

It's legal in some of the EU - to the best of my knowledge, it's illegal in Germany to have apps tell you about speed cameras/etc (you can have the app, you just can't use that bit of it).

Well, 10, 11, or 12 hour difference, depending on time of year. Having been on the other side of that (in NZ, dealing with UK people, so 11-13 hour difference), 8PM isn't really tolerable - that's two-three hours past normal finis

GraalVM is really more like a very specialised JVM that can be used to spit out a native binary for any platform for which there exists a GraalVM version. But in order to do that, it does some interesting things under the hood, and it doesn

It does work with GraalVM (although the last time I did anything with that, I went through Gluon, which provides a bunch of wrappers around it). I have no idea if Clojure works with GraalVM, but if it does I guess the only missing piece is

What noise? I've been living in an apartment for three and a half years and the noise is really not a big deal. The primary issue is being quite close to a busy-ish street, which can be annoying with the windows open. With the windows
