What I find truly curious is how many people on HN (a social media) seem to agree that social media is bad. I know this is anecdotal, but HN is the cause of a lot more of the bad things from social media in my life than Facebook is. Because

I’m not sure your opinion is unpopular, but I have a hard time following your logic. Isn’t part of why a solid and curated framework makes perfect sense (and make you more productive) exactly that you don’t have to understand everything tha

I appreciate your optimism about the unknown, but there is the frightening possibility that maybe e-cigerattes will kill you more efficiently than your regular smokes. If you’re using it as a way to stop completely, then that’s awesome, but

You should be careful about how you distribute the benefits of you automation, not the automation itself. I know America is really bad at redistributing wealth, but society doesn’t actually have to be that way.

Are you sure vaping is actually reducing potential harm? Because our national health agency isn’t[1]. As I understand it, a few brands come with a lower risk of certain tobacco induced cancers compared to smoking. Which is harm reduction, I

> Being "around the block" is no excuse for not keeping up to date in your profession. I work in the public sector where we both develop and buy software, and because of this I get to sit at both ends of the negotiation table.

It’s rather hard to score programming languages isn’t it? Especially in any form that’s generally meaningful. If you look at HN you’d think Go and Rust were actually very popular. If I look at the job agents for my country though, there has

I think it’s really hard to balance without giving us better personal search settings. This is anecdotal of course, but I rarely find anything on free “as in beer” media that’s worth my time. If Google excluded paywalled content its search

I don’t think kubernetes is nice because I’ve seen more than one small team throw a lot of resources at it and fail. I’m not attacking docker, however, I can see why you would want containers. We still haven’t found an efficient usage for t

I think there was, but I’m not sure if I think it was any real consolation. I mean, what’s worse? Being listened to or them having so much data on us that they can somewhat accurately predict our behaviour before we’ve even decided for ours

> as a small developer Do you need kubernetes? I know the hype cycle is mad for copying big tech, but if stackoverflow can operate on a couple of IIS instances I’d argue that you almost never need kubernetes.

I’m happy to have had my baby in Scandinavia. We read up on all sorts of literature for preparation, but it’s an ocean of disagreeing information, but because having a child is hard, you’re assigned a nurse educated in infant well being by

I’m not sure what I think is more scary when these scenarios pop up. Being listened to, or companies being able to predict my behaviour before it happens based on the data they’ve got on me.

Maybe the desktop hasn’t moved because it’s at its peak? My kitchen knife hasn’t seen much innovation either, works well though. Then again, maybe I’m just a grumpy unimaginative old man.

I’m not personally aware of any facial recognition projects for attendance. Never seen it debated either. We have thousands of schools though, so who knows. As far as the GDPR goes it actually didn’t have a huge technical impact on the publ

I work in public digitalisation in Denmark, and I can’t think of a single reason of why you would ever even want this. What’s the use case? Automatic student registration? If it is, and I can certainly imagine some HR consultant going “weee

Isn’t that descriptive of pretty much every medium blog entry? It’s anecdotal and a tad in jest, because I’m sure there must be some value to the platform, but I’ve never seen it. Most “articles” seem to read like someone who took a twitter

I sold my MBP 2018 13” i5 and the only praise it’ll ever get for me is it’s resale value. I did have the box, and it was in perfect condition, but I almost got it’s original cost when I sold it to a refurbishment place. I replaced it with a

Credit cards work a little different in Denmark because we have a national debit card called the Dankort which allows for cheap credit and can be combined with other cards like visa or MasterCard. Anyway, some years ago banks opened for the

Well, it’s not evidence, but haven’t they won every election they’ve been hired to manipulate? I especially find the way they did it in Trinidad interesting. They set up an anti establishment movement saying “don’t vote” which grew into act

I picked up python in 2018, and really enjoyed that, so I think I’ll be sinking some time into getting my python skills on par with my C# skills. There aren’t many Python jobs around here, but there are some. Not that I’m currently looking,

Do you have anything to back that up? Most people I know who use Instagram use it for hobbies or a local version of Etsy. I don’t know a single person who follows these useless Reality TV personalities. I mean, they obviously have a lot of

It’s true that’s America bought the Virgin Islands of us, but it was mainly because the offer at the time looked like this: “You can sell us the Virgin Islands for money, or we can take the Virgins Islands from you for free.” America has ac

I think the last part you touch upon is one of the natural dangers of our profession. In my experience developers are simply extremely good at spotting potential issues in projects. Which can be very good if you’re trying to minimise risks

There is a bit of a difference in the kind of impact you achieve with 510 million vs 5,5 million people. As a Dane I support this ban, even if it’s a tad to the side of populism. It would probably be prudent to start turning some of the EU
