Things seem to be getting even worse, and as I hate to iterate on all the points often repeated on HN (the loss of older industry best practices, CV-driven development, bloated FAANG departments, the issues of funding OSS, etc.), I just wan

I have better information retention from reading text in a book than on a Kindle/digital screen. I'm not sure why, but turning the page and feeling a physical object seems to improve my memory. It might be wasteful, but it's

I found that most people have a very narrow and different view of "what needs to be done", and that's why there's so much tension on WFH. Most engineers today seem to like just being assigned tasks, and don't consid

You perfectly described a bad actor regarding IP, and are arguing that imposing sanctions is non-capitalistic. As an honest question, are you working with a definition that maximixes next quarter's profit above long-term gains? Separat

I worked on algorithm visualizers in the past and found the effort necessary to get something better than static pictures and text to be immense. Every single combination of data structure and algorithm needs to have a semi-custom designed

I feel that we need to acknowledge that "work" is not something we need to aspire towards, but we often need "success" and "activity", and just have a hard time separating these concepts. All members of our soc

Overall, I think GDPR is a positive force that protects consumers. It does have one major downside though, and that's that it treats entities of all sizes in the same way. Placing the same regulatory burdens on start-ups as on big tech

While I always found Computer Modern to be a beautiful font, every paper I read that's typeset with it seems harder to understand. I find it hard to explain, but it somehow makes processing information and retention harder for me, and
