We don’t have an issue using it in Denmark. You’re registered to a address and a place to cast your vote. Every election everyone gets a voting card (is this a ballot?) by mail. If you somehow don’t receive it, lose it or happen to be homel

It always amazes me how one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world has such a shitty voting system. Big American tech companies know when you’re pregnant before you do, but the government doesn’t know who lives in a spe

I think the obvious solution is to give users power over who can comment on their stuff. My Facebook feed could easily pass as a “kind social network” because I only follow blood bowl interest groups and only have friends I actually like in

I’m not sure you can point the blame in just one direction. You see it in any form of radicalisation, once you go too far away from the middle, you start to see others as “the enemy“. I do think that in the terms of the War on Drugs it’s mo

I’ve been a C# developer for two (almost) decades, how do people even keep up with these rapid changes in the post Core world and what/when to use them? This is a serious question by the way.

Sure, but at the same time you can understand why the US government is cool with the US government spying while not being cool with the Chinese government spying.

Well, turned out it wasn’t a bomb. So the anecdotal record holds.

Why is Trump used as a source on HN? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that man say something that was useful or true. I’m not American, mind you, so I’m certainly biased because he’s mainly in our media when he does something stupid, but everyt

Our GIS department had airphoto and street view on web based arcgis when google rolled out maps. So did our neighbouring cities, with a central site trying to link it all together. They also had, maybe, 10 users outside of our own network a

I work in a C# shop that has added Python to our development, because it runs a long side the poweshell scripts our operations guys build in the managed azure services. I think Django is just a good package. It’s really productive and the O

This is a good point and it’s easy to get caught up in it. Because it makes perfect sense. One of the reasons the west has graduated toward freedom and a more free society is because it worked better in the long run. You can go back and loo

For me, trying one of the different paths before me was much better than all the coaching, counselling and mentoring I did before trying. I have a flair for decision making, and getting older it felt like I needed to move away from programm

I’m not a fan of these sort of things. It’s clearly opinion based and it cites other blogs, but where is the actual evidence? We did actual research on our 7000 employees during the three month lock down, and all our evidence show that ever

I chose to work in the public sector of Denmark because I’m ideologically inclined that way. That was decades ago, today I would chose to work here because of how much less hours I work compared to my old university friends in the private s

I work in the public sector, part of what we do is to automate tasks. No one gets fired by this directly, but over time positions disappear. When people retire, no one gets rehired and stuff like that. Sometimes it makes sense, some tasks s

In my country there is an industry in setting up your software company to simulate university life to attract the newly educated developers. You’ll get cheap, extremely motivated employees, who spend almost all their time at your company th

I think the long form is really good actually, but it needs to be done by people who wrote it out of love. HN will sometimes lead you down that path, like that story about the diver who survived for many minutes on the floor of the North Se

I think there is a multitude of reasons, most consumer protection NGOs aren’t very tech savvy and it’s hard to raise funding for privacy because the general population doesn’t care enough to donate money to it. It’s also a rather hard battl
