Until the day this thing is done 100% by robots, thanks, I think I will stick to glasses and lenses.

Wanting to avoid paying licenses by doing your own implementation is perfectly legal and moral. Let's say we lived in a world where there were no Open Source RDBMS, and you didn't want to pay Oracle's license. There would not

Exactly. An implementation of an API is copyrightable. Not the API itself. With a lot of goodwill, with some very generous interpretation, an API could be patentable, but copyrightable seems absurd to me.

Wouldn't kilopower ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilopower ) be an alternative? It used U-235.

Russian Billionaires just got a lot more respect in my book. This looks like just something right from a Jules Verne book.

I was a kid, and I remember the kind of science mini encyclopedias parents used to buy for their kids on the early 80's. And one thing that I remember from one of those books is a big two page full color photo of voyager. It is amazi

Yeah, I agree with you. A lot of modern complexity is kind of incidental. We need to deal with GUIs, protocols, out of order execution, parallel and concurrent programming. The core of things didn't change that much, you store a bunch

Isn't that abusing power to avoid competition?

Funny thing is that in the beginning of agile, scrum master was hardly a dedicated position, it was more of a role. But then, agile at that time was a movement by developers, now it became the turf of project managers.

It depends a lot on the particular climate and soil. In a lot of places, the best you can do with the land is grazing. The soil is good enough only for raising pasture, and as we don't diggest cellulose, cattle serve as some kind of re

I always found weird how Americans for all their talk about freedom and individuality, subject themselves to live in such suburban communities with so many restrictions and almost no privacy. Those communities always looked to me as some so

Interestingly enough, Heemeyer has some kind of a cult following in Russia. I believe that Russians think that it is far more likely that he was a victim of a corrupt government. I find this interesting because it goes to show how differen

But if you are going to introduce a third-party anyway, why use crypto?

As someone whose major was in economics, let me warn you that most of what you learn in ECON 101 is not directly applied as policy in the real world. It is not that the concepts are incorrect per se, they aren't, but they are rough app

it was the first NT based OS targeted at home users. At least on the places where I've worked, NT, since 4.0, was basically the default Windows OS for enterprises.

You need to work on improving your social relationship. Seriously. What you're saying is not even close to common. And if you see it every day among the people you know, you really need to find better associations. Those people are los

It could be survival instinct instead of egos. Most companies have too many managers. There are places where you have one manager for every 5 engineers. Bonkers!

I don't understand. Do you really think that a military operation that avoided nuclear proliferation without killing a single human life or causing environmental damage is something to be ashamed of?

Monopolies are also bad for labor, last time I've checked.

You have a position of power in a system. A position that gives you a good salary, power over your fellow citizens, recognition and social status. You're probably going to identify yourself with the system, and thus, some level of bia

I work remotely, and I bet that probably the remote workers are working on Friday exactly because some people have this kind of prejudices. In mixed companies, remote workers generally have to work harder than co-located ones just to overc

Not sure if is that the case. HN sometimes likes to downvote things randomly, for no discernible reason at all.

Well. You're free to improve on it them. Maybe doing something useful would help you to control your anger issues, dude.

It depends a lot. Usually, if you are a star, not only you're more expensive to start, but also more liable to look for greener pastures after a layoff. So, unless you've been at the company for a really long time, it is better to

Here in Brazil is legal for companies to charge a bit less for products if you pay in cash, because they don't have to pay 5% of the transaction for a bank when you're paying in cash. Banks fought heavily against this law, of cour

I love working remotely, I dread the prison of the corporate offices and commuting hours a day. Probably nothing you can do can cut your carbon footprint as much as working remotely. That said, I am over 40, with solid friedship relations b

Those are advanced resources. For what they do, they are pretty straightforward, but if you are just starting, you don't need to care about reducers, hooks, suspense. You don't even need to do a SPA to take advantage of react, th
