It has its charm, but I think it's a place to avoid during high tourist season. what frustrates me is just getting around. I suppose one would eventually get used to it, but despite what some say, it is not pedestrian friendly, with t

I just came back from this year's Biennale, and I'm thankful that it's not more popular. I think it's already popular enough ;-) Korea's pavilion had fantastic showing this year. https://www.youtube.com&

Me too. Took a cab from JFK to NJ for $85. $120 for Lyft $140 for Uber. Prices eventually came down to $105 and $115 by the time I took the cab, but still.

In most cases, end customers don't eat or use code. Code is a vehicle for delivering value to customers. Developers are not the only one contributing to creation of product. In cases where you 'can' establish direct correlati

yep... robbing peter to pay paul. Until someone on your team threatens to quit, at which you're given more money all of a sudden to retain. Sadly, 90% of them just quit before there is even a chance to give mid cycle raise.

Many do, but some don't. Contractor positions would most likely require experience, but full time positions would include more entry level. They're willing to make the investment to FTE.

Many industries are still running on COBOL including healthcare. We think COBOL will still be around 30 years from now, so we're training college grads. No cobol experience? I don't think it will be a problem if you already know

Real reason is more likely this: "Clients have pulled cash from Jupiter for four years in a row and the firm has failed to stem the outflows this year. In the first three months of the year, investors yanked another £1.6 billion, accor

Funny how that became one of the most memorable lines from the movie. It was so unexpected that it was borderline shocking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-YZFJlgYsY

I sort of feel similarly. I do wonder if it would be more meaningful to engage in a dialog with someone on HN beyond just one off replies. Just small talks on Discord for example. I'm pcurve#3558 In a way, HN is a forum with built in

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Some people here get so touchy over post next jobs era macs. I do disagree with your timing though. I think the best of times was in the early to mid 90s. With radius graphics card. Daystar accelera

In the 90s some of us derogatorily called it Nutscrape because l33t folks should be using Lynx. Good old days.

I agree. I get why the trade off is worthwhile on smartphone. But I hate the push in automotive application. Yes, I'd like a big screen for navigation, but don't replace HVAC controls. It's not just about touch screen. Ther

If you have a large, full size keyboard that is already taking up a large amount of space on your desk, and you have a large desk surface, then I agree the wireless keyboard doesn't seem like huge benefit. I've had big and small k

I could be in the minority, but I'm perfectly content with just having Netflix. There's a long backlog of shows that I haven't had a chance to watch, and they keep adding new ones. Sure it would be nice if I had HBO max, hul

In the U.S., insurance would reimburse upwards of $100k to hospital for this procedure. The same procedure in Germany would cost $20-$30k. I guess that's why some insurance companies are paying for medical tourism.

Oh yeah tell me about it. Every single shrine I hit in Kyoto... it was 500-600 yen.. and this was when exchange rate was 90 yen per dollar!
