   $1k MRR is nothing to brag about. Seriously, we need to start aiming much higher. If this was "My 1hr a day side project hitting $1kMRR in 12months", then it's impressive. But I often see these non side projects and I ju

   I switched from BSDs to Linux as main OS about 10+yrs ago, Linux got good enough. Linux has a wide range of apps. BSD is reserved for very specific use cases. If I want to run Unix on a very weird hardware maybe NetBSD. If I really

   It's actually too much of a price. Most of on this site can gladly afford $10 a month for 12 months, but that's $120 a year. That's a lot of money for some people, and when you add people in other countries, that could be s

   Back in the day, I had an online friend in Poland, that was a much better programmer and consistently wrote faster programs than me. When I started looking into it, I found out he had an 8086 so was forced to optimize, but I had a 386 and

   How did they make such mistakes? I thought that was the entire point of YC, to guide founders and to make sure they don't make such mistakes?

   On the motivation front, that's a personal thing. When choices are limited and things are new, there's that exciting factor in learning. But it seems most of us have seen the same thing in different variation, and then drownin

   Computers are still cool, I still have my collection of Unix workstations from 20yrs ago all rotting away in the garage, SGI indigo, sparcstations, HP servers,, decstations, IBM machines. The only thing that made them cool back them was th

    I had a simliar idea a year ago, and did a proof of concept with some script and OBS. Glad to see it moving to reality, there's lots of rooms to grow for this idea. Got the idea after watching a coding session from some of the core g

    That's unfortunate, but hindsight is 20/20. If you wish to build a tool that will be used by the world, it's best to bet on a boring language like Java, Go, Python or you will eventually run into something like this. For

    Sure! ... and you think it's a coincidence that this article came out now? Not last year? Not 2 years ago? Hell, not 2 months ago. What do you think is the driving force behind the article?

    Give me a break, let me guess, you are not black. Since Lewis got on top I have seen this argument come up, this rubbish didn't come up in the past. This same behavior happens all the time when a black person performs very well, folk

    This entire argument is simply because Hamilton is black. He sets records and all of a sudden he can't shine by himself. Of course the team is important and very good but also so is Hamilton as is evident by his teammate who has the sa

    This is not unique to California and happens in other places. If you have taxes based on valuation, retired senior citizens or low income workers that live in a neighborhood will be forced to move if prices go up. So by keeping tax low, t

    I never implied that, I'm amused at how polarized my comment is, where did I imply that? You can live your life any how you see fit, you don't ever have to code afterwork or touch the computer. I'll just be suspicious abou

    Yeah, I know NumPy, but what I really enjoy about APL/J that you can only get from those languages is "notation as a tool of thought", something is lost in high level expressive languages.
