Yep. My job offers 35 days: 30 flexible days/year plus 5 days where they close shop.

Like another sibling said, it's not really that different in the US, since in the US you also use sick days for a while (not six weeks though) and progress to disability. In Germany it's just more structured. There's multiple

The "luck driven" part is definitely true for Unity's whole niche. You can hear reports online of people "hustling", trying to hit jackpot, leaving jobs in order to spend a year doing random mobile in games to see w

Yep, that's it. The engine used to be developer friendly, now it's downright hostile due to fragmentation. Half of it is deprecated, the other half is experimental and feels second class. They keep piling stuff up, and information

VB6 could make apps that adapted themselves to window size, which was more flexible than different screen sizes. It was no Apple's Cassowary, but so isn't HTML/CSS.

Well, for one either you or the restaurant wanted Doordash to do that job, and Doordash isn't misrepresenting themselves as if they were working for the restaurant (without the restaurant's knowledge). Of course, with that said, t

Yes, I know this and I agree. I understand they use the same techniques and terminologies, but this is just not the kinda thing the article is criticizing.

> Long story short, it is an ongoing problem that pirates receive a superior product. (A problem for publishers anyways, not one for pirates.) Yep. Also, don't forget: an even bigger problem for legitimate users.

Sure, but that's not really A/B testing, those are more often called staged rollouts or progressive rollouts.

Once again, this comment was crude but factual, and it was answering to a bait/attack post in the first place. And go is indeed a simpler language by philosophy that is widely criticised for lacking certain features that a lot of peo

If you focus on a single aspect and ignore all the other issues, sure, there's no problems whatsoever. But when gig economy jobs are the only jobs available for a certain person, it's hard to argue that they're entering those

I think the scope of what you think matters. For me it’s the same as you, but only with “big” ideas that will require a lot of effort to get off the ground. But I have been able to have a lot of great (to me) breakthroughs by focusing on sm

The reason I'm focusing on the fidget spinner guy and you because those are a grandparent of the posts we're currently writing and replying to. If I wanted to reply to the other posts I would do so below those posts. I merely upvo

I find this very noticeable here in HN. Every time something new pops up, some people are very quick to dismiss, criticise the author for making another "X", or to ask "why would I need this" without doing an iota of res

Well, have fun picking apart the way I structured my previous post, even though I already clarified what I meant in the reply. Hope you find someone to have an internet fight. Have a nice day.

It’s funny how it’s the “suits” that are the money burners and productivity destroyers. While individual contributors are left to obsess about productivity. A sign that we all can afford to collectively slow down.

I’m not making any argument, I’m just repeating the most popular theory right now.

I believe GP is asking about the CP-80's aftertouch. Her usage of the Fairlight is super well documented, including in the original post.

Where did I say you practice OOP? I'm just making a comparison to another paradigm in my reply to demonstrate that this is not an FP problem alone, continuing the train of thought started by hither_shores. Not everything is about you,

I wonder if there's a degree of FOMO there. People feel like they must participate in everything, so when there's something new that they didn't discover and research first, they compensate by doing some armchair criticism. I

It's not about avoiding looking like a hypocrite, the major theory is that it's about being able to sell 8.5bi without causing the value to go down too much.

Hard to know for sure without herself saying so, but in Babooshka she used a CS-80 and you can hear some vibrato, but I don't know if she used aftertouch for that. You can however hear the CS-80 ribbon there very clearly in this song

No. It's not a matter of personal opinion. Go indeed lacks "several features, including safety features, that help people perform their job better". Whether you're one of those people and whether the language really ne

Alright, so you went from twisting my words to claiming I can't have an opinion unless I provide specifics. This thread already started with specifics: functional operators like map/filter/reduce/etc. What I'm addre

I don't see why you're assuming we did something different, I even said "advanced typing features". We have several effect-related types, including IO.
