I think google is guilty of a lot of things in Asia, but it’s not like windows in China is like windows in Denmark either. I haven’t heard about google products being used to organise genocides though, but Facebook has.

Google hasn’t committed the same evils Facebook has. They’ve been smarter about handling personal data in the west, and their platforms haven’t been used to attack democracy. In Asia their platforms haven’t been used to help countries commi

I’m probably bad but I honestly can’t get slack to work with all the different communities I’ve been invited to. Discord basically works like IRC, except almost every channel I’m in is by invitation only, making it almost impossible for new

If you want to do android development, Kotlin. If you want to do multi platform development, flutter. I think flutter will be an amazing tool for smaller teams, especially in non-tech-primary organisations. I work in the public sector of De

I have an iPhone XS, but I’d probably downgrade to a pixel 3a and give my wife the XS, if google sold them in Denmark that is. They don’t even sell the pixel 3 yet though, so there is a fat chance of that. Anyway, I like Apple and have been

It’s getting silly indeed, it’s also getting unproductive. You have to spend too much time thinking about tooling instead of just building things.

Is your code really clear though? What are a and b? What types are they? What if they, or one of them aren’t that type? Why would you call the function? When would you call it? I mean, I get that your example is directly related to the poin

In the analytics departments of enterprise sized companies and organisations sits a lot of mathematicians, economics and statisticians. These are the people who are going to use ML to change the world, because business intelligence, predict

I agree, configuration was just part of the “bullshit”. I had to manually disable the dedicated graphics card in my laptop or it would get ridiculously hot while idle. This is probably not an issue if you buy a laptop with preinstalled Linu

It has to have a usage though. We ran a long proof of concept on voice recognition as in voice-to-text, for office workers and had good results once the software learned to recognise correctly. I think the best cases were 20-30% increased p

The touchbar is crap, and being a Danish programmer hitting those {} keys really sucks on a mac keyboard. Everything else has been miles better than Linux though. I mean, when I left fedora 21 for a Mac I had close to a hundred scripts for

> I don't have any obsession with distros. I want one that works. This is why I became a Mac user. After 15 years of Linux I was just done with all the bullshit, but I guess I could look into Pop!_OS.

It’s always been like that, hasn’t it? I seem to recall it being one of the reasons why liberalism has had such staying power. It was how the Dutch became a powerhouse on the line of Spain, England and France in the colonial age. Because th

I understand your concern, but I think you can avoid a lot of the negative sides by only writing about things you like. It’s really hard to piss people off if you’re sharing experiences about things you love, especially if you stick to just

Some of the most interesting things online are people writing about things they are passionate about, for the sake of writing about them. At least in my opinion, so it’s fair to say that I agree with the author. I think it’s an equally deli

The agile revolution never happened because it’s just not how people buy things. Hell, I don’t even think it’s how we build them. I love the analogy of a burger joint and ordering a burger with fries, because from a buyers perspective, that

Until you want to read a book that isn’t currently available. Maybe it’s different on the American Netflix (and similar), but currently none of the streaming services in Denmark have all seasons of x-files. I prefer buying things to renting

I think it’s unfair to say that just because there haven’t been legal action, there has been no action. I live in Denmark, our data-protection agency has only recently gotten cases to a point where they could roll out fines. And that’s just

Well some of us think webpack/react and the rest are even worse and that a page-reload never killed anyone. I don’t work in a tech-focused business, because I work in the public sector. That means our funding is fairly limited, even th

Cool! Does flutter do web apps/frontends yet? I think when/if it does it’ll be really interesting for small tech teams in non-tech businesses. I work in a municipality and we simply can’t keep up with different frontend stacks for

What good is a developer who can’t deliver outside of a debugging/development environment? I mean, I get what you are saying, but who can afford people who are that specialised?

I’m amazed that it’s 2019, and we still haven’t figured out a good way to share interesting content. The portals worked for a while, then came google and Facebook, and now we have nothing. I mean, if HN stopped how would you find anything i

I completed the MIT and Harvard introduction to computation courses on EDX. I did it for fun, but both turned out to be truly inspiring on the subject on how to teach CS. It depends on what you’re teaching though. If it’s bringing a new hir

EV are still too expensive and Tesla ridiculously so. That’s not a problem if you can’t keep up with demand, but competition creeps up. Why would you buy a Tesla when you can buy a Hyundai Kona for a lot less? We need better leadership thou

I find the opposite to be true. We’ve been a C# shop for decades, but with python and JavaScript creeping in, we’re just so used to clis. Visual Studio does a lot of things, but the truth is that we never use them. Well except for Linq-To-S

Which is honestly what they need to do, to make .net core truly next level. It was such a drag to so C# on non windows machines, and it’s becoming less and less so. Visual Studio still has some perks, but with the dotnet cli it’s actually d

I had heard of him but because no one uses Erlang where I live it was kind of easy to ignore. I wish I hadn’t though. Watching some of the talks he’s given on the problems of software in the wake of his death has been a real eye opener. The

My better half uses one, but after the birth of our first child she had to use pads for a while. This was the first time I got to buy them. They are insanely expensive, it’s truly mind blowing that more women aren’t using the cup. I mean, I
