I think there is a lot of value in stoicism, but it never really worked for me, because accepting things aren’t my thing. Instead I prefer the Socratic approach to issues, where you actually try and discover solutions together. I know stoic

I think HN is actually a poster child of strong moderation on social media, because it remains relevant by being one of the most regulated platforms. There is a reason this place hasn’t devolved into complete and utter uselessness as well a

I agree, though maybe not with .Net core. It’s a personal preference, but I like the mix between VSC and the .Net Core CLI better than VS. .Net isn’t set in stone in our shop though. It’s been good to us for almost two decades, but recently

You’re absolutely right, but we also operate Django applications that hasn’t needed anything but the occasional security update in a lifespan that is longer than the existence of React.js. I like react by the way, it’s just an example. But

It’s a little opposite of the topic, but am I the only one who’s noticed a considerable downturn in the productivity of VS? Yesterday I wanted to import “Microsoft System Center Orchestrator Web Service” in a C# project, something which us

None of our old software that was build to last has security issues. I know it’s harder to build with security in mind in the modern connected world, but we have a Django app that hasn’t needed anything but security updates that runs perfec

I think developers need to learn to build to last. We have medical software that hasn’t been updated for two decades that runs just fine. That’s often unobtainable with modern software development because we rely so much on things that chan

I read a story about in a Danish paper, maybe half a year back. I can’t find the link for it unfortunately, but the general consensus is that it hasn’t stopped at all. It also outlined how it was affecting everyone. Basically those troll fa

Isn’t it basically an established fact that at least Russia has exactly that? I know linking to wiki isn’t exactly scientific, but the article contains a lot of decent source references and it’s easier to just post one link. https:/&#

> “better for less money" : According to what sources? What indicators? I’m tempted to say “pick one”. Workers are less satisfied, more stressed and less efficient. Citizens are less satisfied and receive a lower quality of service.

I agree, I should probably have specified which part of the public sector I was in. At a municipal level we try not to do evil things.

Doesn’t everyone lead by example, even if they don’t mean to? It’s anecdotal of course, but I’ve always been affected by how my manager behaves. That doesn’t mean you only lead by example though. Maybe I’m not reading it right, but the auth

I may be the minority, but I don’t mind the advertising aspect as much. Actually I kind of like that it brings me relevant advertising for kickstarters of board games. What I dislike is all the other evil stuff they do. All the anti-democra

I work in the public sector, so we never do evil things like that. I do often wonder if we’re digitizing too much. Like I pay for public transportation (I’m Danish, we have great public transportation) with an App, which is nice and all, bu

My local non-profit sharing community is already liable. That’s my point. You couldn’t write a blog and share music a record company produced without permission. As soon as it was found, it would be taken down and you’d get fined. Why shoul

Why would we be against it? I know it’s an unpopular opinion on HN, but I don’t have a problem with Facebook and Google being made liable for the content on their platforms. Here is why: if you produce content, like music, you can put it on

You shouldn’t rely on your tools protecting you because they won’t. I do part time work as an external examiner, sometimes for first year CS students, so I get to see a lot of silly code. Like the result of having been tasked with doing Fib

I think you're spot on with your UN suggestion. I mean, didn't we (the world) establish the concept of human rights, exactly as an answer to this problem of bias? I think we could go a long way, if we simply required our technolog

I think the point might be that you don’t need to trash something else just to say the Pi store is cool. I personally think the comparison is silly. Because you get to play around in the Pi store I think it’s much more similar to a games-wo
