I have met many Russians in Phuket as well as Ukrainians. We were all spending hours in a coworking, doing the usual chitchat and drinking a few cocktails/beers on the weekend. Nobody really cared. Some had family there. But it's

I am fat and I don’t really care. But I don’t understand how some people come to understand that it’s healthy.

It hasn’t ruined anything for me. For now, AI is not good enough for me to use it (I only use Midjourney to generate illustrations) The day it will be good enough I will just adapt and add it to my toolbox. Problems will just become more co

I definitely side with the people who said that what you are describing is bad TDD This is the result of people believing « unit test » means I should only test one « unit » (usually a function) When you start testing a behaviour which can

I don't consider them to have any tradeoff. So far I am not losing any time applying TDD. And Clean Architecture seems common sense.

I am becoming more and more convinced that everything is a matter of tradeoff in computer science, except two things - TDD - Clean Architecture That's what I am currently learning.

Yes it's possible. But if you want to be controversial, you need to expect controversy. That's what the word implies. From personal experience, it's far easier to cross the line completely than flirt with it. If you are just

I haven’t really changed the way I search information or acquire knowledge. The only difference is that I can make very cool artworks while being devoid of any artistic skills

I consider them equally greedy in term of data collection and tracking. But if I have to choose, I prefer giving away my data to China than the US. I consider China to be a bit less hostile

Pretty much like with friends. We both have online businesses, where we need to learn about marketing/tools/etc We both read lots of books (classic, non-fiction, etc) We watch TV shows, movies We do some sports There is always som

Because it’s primarily being fed a corpus of texts. There is a finite number of articles on the internet. There is an even more finite number of articles talking about Joan of Arc or copywriting. But numbers are infinite. Not many people wr

I think there is a difference between a newsletter and a mailing list. Mailing list are multidirectional by nature. You can decide to be just a reader. But you can respond to emails and participate too.

I founded a famous right wing / conservative media in France. https://www.youtube.com/@LivreNoir I don't think it would be of any use for the HN audience, though.

Do whatever you want but count me out of this mess. I prefer being a tech mercenary than joining a union.

I don't plan to retire. I like intellectual challenges. I will work less for sure. Taking regular breaks and working mostly in the mornings. Probably gonna play pétanque in the evening or taking my grandchildren to the park or wherever

Healthcare is not really important, I prefer taking care of that myself. Remote (fully remote) is indeed very important. I also prefer working for a company with a strong elitist worldview And I avoid companies that are into diversity hirin

Simplified Chinese. Because I am considering relocating to China for the foreseeable future. I enjoyed living there. I currently speak English as well as French, it’s fun learning a tonal language

I pretty much lived like nothing happened. I packed my bag to change countries a couple time to avoid most restrictions. I did not change my lifestyle a bit. I love spending time inside my house 90% of the time. I go out a couple time a day

The correct way to do it is always pretty much the same. Clean architecture / ports & adapters You are supposed to put your database details behind interfaces

It provides an experience I can't reproduce anywhere else. I read Don Quichotte early 2022. It's absurd, insane, the main character is not reliable, yet he is brave, willing to make the world a better place to fit his knight ideal

Not exactly the same feeling because I do have few close friends (most of them I don't see very often because I left my home country, without any intention to really go back) But, I like strangers. I like exploring cities, chasing hidd

It obviously all comes down to Calories In < Calories Out. Here are the things that worked for me 1. Prioritize convenience over optimality. I spend several weeks exploring what I liked and disliked. I was drinking way too much soda and

I don't remember ever having a mental breakdown. I am rarely "happy" but I am 100% satisfied with my life.

Because living in the West does not provide me much satisfaction. I miss my time living in China and I had the opportunity to stay. So I have some regrets that I made the choice to leave at that time. I have been trying to get back there fo

I think I would cook, go for some long walk, read/watch a lot of classics. Probably still code a bit. But overall I think I would dislike my life. I enjoy competition.

I don’t know what to think of this idea, it’s quite unexpected. That being said, as someone who lived several years in China and studied at Tsinghua University, sure censorship exists and is quite heavy. But from my point of view the global

- I switched to keeping my daily todo list on a simple sheet of paper. This helps being focus on the important stuff. Everything I haven't done yesterday, I will have to rewrite it on today's paper. More often than not, I realize
