I might be wrong but this longform is called "feature article". It's not meant to be for quick consumption. I'm not sure what is happening with our brains, but I find it increasingly difficult to concentrate and apprecia

Maybe not the best analogy, but teaching Dvorak is like forcing left-handed child to write with right hand. But maybe it’s other way around. I wouldn’t actively try to teach them anything, but let them learn on their own. At some point they

Seems like Hulu is US only. At least I can’t subscribe to them where I’m living. Can’t really understand why they don’t like to take my money. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to pay them, so that I could at least watch Handmaid

There was one additional reason why city wanted to create a free public transportation only for local residents. So that all the people who were working in Tallinn, but whose(?) place of residence was outside of city, would register themsel

Was the pilot also deadly stupid by trying to land the plane without releasing the fuel first? As I understand very few pilots have the experience to do that.

Don’t be so quick to judge and call them idiots. In a panic situation you can act irrationaly.

Sorry for the stupid question, but why isn’t police using some kind of signal encyption, if they don’t want others listening in?

My two cents — change your name. Prometheus us too pretentious in my opinion. Also, Prometheus can be pronounced in different ways. Is it pronounced PromEEteus or PrometHeus? And its also ProMeth. :)

You are not alone. I was wondering if the author is actually mocking this kind of overly complicated jargon.

PDF is fine if you are using a laptop/desktop/tablet. But it doesn’t fit well into phone screens. Usually I have to turn my phone horizontally and then zoom in little bit. And when I reach the end of the page I have trobles turnin

How long have you worked with him? Your language suggest that you are making a lot of assumptions that might be false. This might be related to the fact that you are new and as a junior developer it might sometimes feel like people are agai

There are teams, that don't need to use scaffolding provided by "create-react-app". Maybe they just need a small react powered widget on their site, it would be silly to scaffold whole separate project just for that widget. A

It's interesting that in U.S and probably in other countries people talk about their annual salaries. Where I live we talk about our monthly salaries after all taxes have been deducted. So when I look at his last number $189,000, how

So, a storm in Denver stops me from using Messengner in Estonia? I wonder where the butterfly flapped its wings.

That's not true. Estonian Conservative National Party is against e-voting also and nobody is calling them "russkies".

I don't really know C++ and I'm sick of JS. But I will take a look into Qt.

I read somewhere that java 9 is not supporting JavaFX, I guess I could just add javafx as a dependency and it should work fine in java 9 also.

I was thinking about clojure. I think only choice I have is to use 'seesaw'(wrapper for swing). I haven't seen any promising wrappers for javafx yet.

I have been thinking about creating a desktop app for a while now. Problem is I can't decide which framework to use. Ideally I would like to use Common Lisp, but McCLIM looks like it's from the eighties, there's also qtools a

“Must be a semicolon issue,” was my first thought, without actually knowing why.

Thank you for pointing out the meaning of the title. I see it know. Had to read it 10 times if not more. I think the thing that tripped me of is the capital A(or the fact that I'm not native English speaker). I read the title like this

What's up with these titles nowadays? I don't know if it's because the title is (possibly) missing a semicolon before 'A Young Woman Followed Two Hackers', or Lies to Her Death -- but I can't make a sense out o

One thing with Thousand Plateaus is that you don't have to read the book in sequence. You can start with random chapter. That's the only thing I remember from the book.

Not sure I understand. Why can’t he short a stock and then talk about how bad the company is? Isn’t that the whole premise of short selling?

Off topic. Whenever I waste a lot of time on youtube looking into some subject(today it was black holes) it ends up on Hacker News also. Surely, somebody has a name for this effect.
