Didn't mean to be blunt, but I had no idea how the sections fit together and what you were trying to say. Clearly I am missing the context which others seem to have, since it's on the frontpage of HN.

In Europe it's usually called Informatics, even in some Universities in the UK i believe, but it's totally absent from US literature it seems.

What a strange article, going on about the PC history in Sweden, hacking on the Quake2 codebase and VR headsets to one small paragraph that actually discusses the title of the article without really answering the question in any satisfying

I admit this is snarky and not entirely plausible, but you could also move to a place where good education is free, as it should be.

You are right, thank you! I misinterpreted that.

In my company and many others, germans are actually in the minority, at least in product and tech. Talent shortage lets companies bring a lot of people from all over the world and English is the lowest common denominator. We have many more

Living in working in the Berlin tech world, English is already the official working language in most companies. Even as I german i have no problem with this, my only gripe is that it makes it very hard for my non-german colleagues to learn

Yeah, Lieferando (takeaway.com) bought the german business of Delivery Hero (Lieferheld, pizza.de, Foodora) for close to a billion. They had a long fight in Europe but DH is now focusing on Asia, but they still have a considerable share in

I work for a competitor of Deliveroo and in asia you already have these all encompassing delivery apps that started with food and now deliver almost anything. Some also started as Uber competitors branching out into delivery like Uber does

Still Telegram is good enough. It is feature rich, offers good security if you want and most importantly has no ties to FB or Google.

I am all for safer roads, less city car traffic, but in the end it is the perspective of people living in the city who can commute by train or bike. Lots of people live outside of cities though and commute. For many a car is the only way to

It's not that black and white. A lot of profitable companies IPO to fuel aggressive expansion in new markets which would otherwise not be possible and could harm them in the future. Google was profitable when they IPOd https:/&#x

very interesting, i would also like to know how you organise your decks/tags

I can't agree with this. High IQ can't be everything. Wouldn't this value experience and knowledge (like everything you learned in university) at zero? Imo there are a lot of great/amazing and productive Software Enginee

OP does not sound like he was actually working for Rockstar on GTA, more like a hobby project

online games are pretty low volume though, data is usually transmitted at a few Kbps per player. Just out of interest, how did you try to spot cheaters doing that?

not really on the same level of "evil" as people perceive FB, GOOG, Amazon etc

But Merc E is multiple classes above the Tesla in terms of space, interior quality and luxury/comfort.

you need 60Hz and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, otherwise text can look really bad. I don't know any models in the 200 range that support this.

To me as a tech person, this would feel as talking to a flat-earther. I switched to SSDs in all my machines literally a decade ago and never looked back, the performance was just that much better. Early models for sure had reliability issue

I still prefer using my Laptop in most cases, connect it to a nice big 4K screen at home and the office. I also love my iPad for the usecases it is great at, like taking notes and casual browsing/reading but i would not want to use one

It is not really all that different from the later Top Gear Seasons though.

Everyone is on WA and i prefer it too, but I still need their mobile number, so it's more for close friends/family. I communicate with some coworkers i hang out with on Messenger because i haven't bothered to ask them for the

In reality it's hard to get all of your friends and family to switch services, because all of their circles also have to change and most of them don't really care about the negatives of FB. In the end you end up with 10 different

then maybe you should learn that a lot of HN readers are not native English speakers.

Yes, i don't give a rating to this statement, i just say that Musk is not conservative about this topic as op suggested. If you ask me, I don't think that they will be anything close to that by the end of 2020

He recently publicly announced that Tesla drivers will be able to fall asleep at the wheel and wake up at the destination by the end of next year. Doesn't sound like a lot changed in his mindset.

you can also unit test in a more blackbox way where you test your interal APIs instead of the implementation. It makes sense to have both in many cases.
