It's not better on macOS. Bugs I encounter regularly: webcam not working, memory leaks, CPU usage maxed out.

I don't believe there are visa requirements between EU countries, you might want to fix that (maybe skip the EU countries for EU citizen, or give 100%?)

I've had stalkers before and it'd freak me out if I received a thank you note from someone I did not exchange contact details with.

I used to think like you until I met a coworker. He could not code to save his life, nobody in the team liked working with him. Until one day we had a boring data entry task. He could do it for hours at a time, and barely made any mistake.

There is no need to spend time on the hardware either, but OP wanted to learn something. For those who might be interested here is my firmware project: https://github.com/marcv81/umk . I like to think it's more app

For what it's worth my anecdotal experience is exactly the opposite. Sample size = 4 people.

"That again, they respond to stimuli but don't feel pain like an animal." I don't feel this is a valid argument. We only really know how pain feels to us, but we can guess it also applies to other humans, animals, etc. T

Most manholes are round because that is the most practical shape such that the cover cannot fall in. There are actually other shapes, but they are usually hinged and most costly.

Many activity trackers will provide stats about how much you sleep, and how you compare with the rest of the population. I appreciate your question is about HN readers rather than fitness nerds, but there might be an overlap.

Friends don't let friends write Makefiles at all. The author does not appear to be familiar with them, except for the trivial examples in this post.

What I meant is that quaternions don't seem any weirder to me than sin/cos.

Quarternions aren't weird. With a 2D angle we use 2 numbers (sin and cos) to calculate vector rotations. It turns out that in 3D we use 4 numbers.

I was not trying to talk other countries down. For what it's worth you can't survive in France without a checkbook: it's the only way to pay for some transactions. Sad. Also the debit cards we're talking about do both cr

Like a few others who replied, I grew up in France. Technically debit cards indeed. Not sure card which do exclusively credit are a thing there.

I'm 35. I felt old talking about floppies and cassettes a few days ago. But I'm still young enough to not have known swipe cards :)

Objective difference: KeePass encrypts the names of the websites where you have accounts. I would not want to live without this feature.

I am not sure about naming the company, as I'm not sure it would help them (but maybe?). The device is in the IoT/fitness space. I don't think explaining good security practices to a customer support person is going to help a

Yes, I suppose I am aware of their product now...

Aw man!

Yes, I realized after commenting. It's not a bad post, but I'm not sure why they tried their luck here.

Not bashing at all (you are somewhat in a better place than my own organization) but a point could be made that you could break the code down into subprojects and manage dependencies.

This is an okay and mostly correct introduction for anyone who has never heard of CI, but lacks any sort of depth. The author sounds like he just discovered the concept and wants to share it, but lacks practical experience.

HR bloggers should learn humility. Their ranking is not worse than others, but it's not better either. I appreciate their input, but not the tone of the article.

TL;DR: author blames his lack of understanding of the git concepts rather than the git concepts themselves.

This is the reason why golang declares the identifier before the type and the return value at the after the function parameters. This allows parsing any declaration from left to right.
