Impressive! Could someone (or OP) elaborate on the value that re-implementing a whole software to a new language provide comparatively to just building an interface "bridging" both worlds? To clarify, my metric for "value&quo

I see where you are coming from but I think it's worth mentioning that a disproportionate amount of people born in the upper classes have also never had to manage their own money.

Good point. > At the end of the day, there's money to be made in the technology somehow. But reading Scott Hammond's PR again I have the impression that he oppose the open-governance model to Enterprise users' needs. I mig

Thank you for clarifying this, it is the following excerpt that confused me since Scott Hammond referred to "users of Node.js" as "developers". > I was well aware of Node.js’ developer popularity and success — mainly

We (the EU) can afford to be care free because of the France, the UK and NATO in general. I hope too that war will be a thing of the past but I strongly believe that sovereign nations should have the capacity to defend their sovereignty fro

I think you got me wrong. I was referring to the dynamics of power between states not people. They are fundamentally different entities, and I agree that it would be quite a horrible society to live in.

I have re-formulated my comment to correct some grammar mistakes etc... I agree with you but I think I failed to convey the point I was making. It is very US-centric perspective, any country has to deal with rivalries and struggle for power

There is something I frankly don't understand. Why would anyone discriminate against older, more experienced engineers? Tech companies are spending millions of dollars on their offices and employee-perks to attract and retain talent a

I am an outsider, but this is true for pretty much anything in life. There is a always a "dark side" to things. Finger pointing SV as being the mother of all evils is a bit naive. "The grass is always greener..." :)

I think that this reasoning is completely flawed. Reading this article, I understand that the author's definition of threat is quite extreme. A threat is not something that "has the potential to annihilate" but is rather &quo

If interviews are really made to maintain high-engineering standards and prevent bad hires, interviewing and rejecting the author of a software that 90% of your employees use everyday is quite perplexing indeed. While I understand that inte

Damn, this font is glorious. I often wonder if what appears to me to be a very clear cut in aesthetic standards between the 1980s and the 2010s is the result of my own bias (I was born in the late 1990s) or actually a thing. In fact, I do n

I have been thinking about switching to NixOS because of the great things I keep hearing about it. I would enjoy reading reviews from HNers, has anyone used it as a desktop?

Slightly off-topic but I always found it infuriating to call binary trees "binary" when some vertices have a degree = 3. :P

I don't think that it is unprofessional on his part. He is merely highlighting the absurdity of the hiring process at large tech companies. I think everyone knows that this is not a problem exclusive to Google.

Well, he is the author of numerous widely used open source projects. It is a bit redundant (and useless) to give him a "homework assignment when he has such an impressive portfolio that speaks for itself and of which you can assess the

You look like a cool place to work for, could you provide more details on the responsibilities of each role? Also, would you mind if I submit this job opening on of my college's mailing lists (UWaterloo)?

Very good point, most of the time when a post with a "sensationalistic" title makes it to the front page I immediately go to the comments section first.
