As far as I'm aware, in the UK, no. Wealthy individuals can donate to political parties, but not to individual politicians, and that is tightly regulated. If an individual politician was accepting donations from a wealthy individual or

I pay for MalwareBytes, I think it's worth it. Apart from that, I just use Defender.

Isn't that what Microsoft are attempting with the Windows Store? IIRC Windows Store apps don't run in the same way as regular Windows applications, they run in a sandbox.

That's awesome, I'm a solo dev too and I didn't know that about react native. Definitely want to try it on a project at some point.

Good article. I definitely think that for a cross platform app, going all out with something like Cordova or React Native isn't particularly smart. Sooner or later, you are going to reach a point where you need to use a feature of the

It's also easier to block if you want to (on the web). Not so easy when it's baked into the OS and software you use.

Given the audience on HN, you could probably be a bit more specific about the old/new domain and get more relevant advice. Just a thought!

Duck it, it's your side project. You own it, nobody it paying you to work on it, over-engineer the shit out of it if you feel like it.

Yep, as soon as you start talking about it, people start congratulating you, your reward system kicks in in your primitave lizard brain, and you don't bother actually doing it because you've already been rewarded.

The last time this came up, somebody posted this link to the 1984 Adam Curtis documentary, The Great British Housing Disaster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd7i5-baJAs It's worth a watch, even over 30 years ago it w

The way she was treated, though, was disgusting. I have zero doubt that her gender/ethnicity was a major motivating factor for the majority of people involved in this backlash and that a white male in the same position would have pre

Unrelated, but about a year ago I downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from the Xbox Store onto my Xbox one (I think it cost £0.99). Anyway, it was about 500Mb in size and it runs Sonic 2 on the Xbox One's Xbox 360 emulator, which is then e

Just to add, you don't need to use Visual Studio anything, you could work in VIM/Emacs on Linux and never leave the terminal, and do full stack .net core development if you wanted to.

Not at all, it's completely open source, you can use any text editor you like, and develop on Windows/Mac OS/Linux.

Had no idea this existed. Still, there are times when you have a weird error you need to screenshot, and you know that if you move the mouse or hit anything other than the print screen button, it will go away. Paint made this scenario very

Well I'm the only dev at the moment so I really just need an indie dev license for myself, and it's licensed per developer, not per project etc. I think it's worth it. In my opinion, anybody working on .net ends up spending a

At our place, we use ServiceStack with OrmLite, which runs well on .net core and plays nicely with MySQL. You can switch between SQL Server and MySQL by changing just one line of code.
