Doesn't Eclipse feel a bit dated to you ? Like they wrote the UI in 1999 and never updated it

Agreed, I like IntelliJ. I said since I never know if a Java shop will make me use eclipse again, I tend to shy away from java. Of course I do have a price, if we're doing 200k up I'll put up with Eclipse

I nothing but great things to say about Flutter, with Firebase( web hosting and NoSQL like DB) you can deploy prototypes extremely fast.

I'd have no problem paying 1500$ for this. As many of us age , EInk feels much better to read.

I like C# simply due to the tooling. I legit left a job since they made me use Eclipse with Java.

Love it ! Whenever I have to demo an application which uses video, Blender's movies work well since it's free to use!

Given I was going out and meeting tons of people, had 2 partners in 2019 , I guess I'd have a few partners in 2020. That and I love traveling. Considering I actually increase my income during Corona, I can't really complain all th

I'm not exactly sure on how to install this thing, what I just dropped the binary into my path?

Good job Apple, I really do love the idea of deprecating the old x64 architecture entirely. It's as if we have decades of legacy code wasting billions of dollars of power per year. I strongly believe within the next decade the vast maj

How are we defining programming. As far as I'm concerned if I can create a small game using Unity, even if I don't really understand what's going on, that is programming. If an intern writes a small Python script to format CS

Anyway you can create a package for us non-rust people. I'd probably install this on Ubuntu if you had a Deb file for me to use

As far as I can tell this has been skyrocketing among the general population as well. I fully blame social media, no where else have I been so relentlessly attacked. I improved my own mental health tremendously by deleting this crap, no Tin

That you shouldn't really care what other people think about you. Millions suffer needlessly under the imaginary weight of others expectations. Some even end up going completely insane or dying, due to this. Live your life the way you

Sorry, it doesn't really appear to work. I tested one of the English bots, and nothing happened when I sent in text.

This already exist. https://www.snagajob.com/ I imagine it depends on your situation. If I was 19 I'd love it. I'd hate living like this with a family to support

Same reason contracts pay more than salary. If someone can Doordash, etc, and make more( while arguably dealing with less stress) they'll rationally do that. Or since this is HN, can you automate some of these tasks ?

Would it make more sense to have hyper flexible hours. Say you pay 25$ an hour, but it's only 8 hours a week during peak ? I think with the gig economy young people are used to only working when they want.

This can happen if you just don't read the room right. Although getting fired for something like this implies you are already on thin ice, and you basically pushed your luck. All respect to the op though, these companies aren't yo

LA is uniquely messed up since you need a car as well as paying NYC rent. Cars add an extra 300$ to 700$ a month . Most people just can't afford it so they live very precarious lives.

Not a single mention of Unity. I'd presume a significant percentage of VS installs are for Unity devs

Brought some hats from a friend. It's important to support your friends if their trying to build.

Second eviction by far. LA is a horrible place to live , had I been 19 today I'd end up on the streets since housing is so much more expensive now. Stop thinking about what "society" will do to solve homelessness. Garcetti ha

Find what you want to build first, then ask again on how to build it best. Pick an easier language , I suggest Python or Javascript.

No, did order some hats though.

by offtop5 5y ago
Great article, I don't have a source off hand but I think a major reason most housing in La is so hard to build it's just due to minimum parking requirements. Cars are the absolute worst thing to happen to the middle class, at bes

You could probably give a 23 year old a degree from a top school, without him or her actually attending it and still massively improve their life. If you come from a lower income background such as myself college is needed since you need to

Yeah, Static typing. In C# I swear this the only reason I can get anything done( Visual Studio's auto complete is nice). Most people basically work to eat, I've taken Java jobs just because I needed the work. It can always be wors
