My small bit of advice is to think everything what you do as feedback loops. Eg if you start browsing youtube videos, you'll get by each video more and more into it and at some point cant stop watching. Same for work or workouts or wha

AWS has few services that I imagine yield massive margins with not that much cost to them, which can mainly be justified by the services being pay-per-use and having a small overhead for the customers. And then, I believe most of the AWS&#x

You are pushing ECS quite hard, but why so? It's nothing particularly amazing in my opinion, good for what it does but requires all your other infra too to reside in AWS. Which is not that cheap if you're really concerned with cos

Well when you look down the history you'll find every nation did something horrible (if they have existed long enough). US itself is quite special case in its imperialism which happened much later than the others's (Spain, Netherl

An interesting write-up Matt, thank you for that. It validated some of my own observations of how businesses are actually built and although it didn't even get off the landing ground, it was nice to read even as a technical report of w

I have thought at times that HN was a place of rational, deep discussion. I cant understand where these types of endless emotional rantings come from. Everyone is going with a bigger hyperbole how "Google is killing GCP, they r so dum&

Nice, thanks to both of you for the tip. I always hated ImmutableJS's clunky API which is partly the reason why I switched from Redux to Mobx as the object assigning felt otherwise so icky. I have to check out if Immer is any better =)

Your comment reminds me, I never found a perfect explanation what a negation inside the dependency array does. Does it simply negate the checked variable or just omits it from ever triggering eg useEffect? For example: const useClickOut

The basic programming course I & II in University of Helsinki were in my opinion the best courses of the whole CS degree. And by "them" I think you are referring to the people who made that particular course, the folks at RAGE

Some people are difficult, true. And a lot of leadership also depends on the chemistry between individuals. Some people just don't get along and that's fine, we all think in different way. But you shouldn't take disillusionme

I didn't expect to read that so thoroughly, thanks for the interesting article. =) Sad indeed that is how it turned out to be. And why authors would object their works being copied if they were out of print already? They weren't e

Aren't seals mammals? And in captivity, killer whales have a killed a few humans, dunno the total count. So I guess they just don't find humans that appetizing in the wild, or just haven't had the chance to try them out. I&#x

Yet in the EU parliament each country gets representatives proportionate to their size and the positions in the EU commission are filled basically how the larger countries decide? So your analogue doesn't really hold and frankly, just

Without explicit agreements/laws in place I have to sadly agree, and any natural monopoly will get abused at some point if owned by profit-seeking companies. That's just how it is. Doesn't matter if they are now sweet-talking

I have to agree. They could have tried to distinguish themselves with a name resembling something novel, yet they decided to go with one that sounds like a copy-cat version of company already in the industry. Why not something like XCHIP,

I see the reasonings of both of your points. To me it seems in the old days, there was a lot of hindrance in reaching your potential therefore for those few to become geniuses, you truly had to be exceptional and since there was so few, you

If by valuable you mean they keep you employed despite not doing anything, sure. They are valuable for career progress and such, but when faced with real technical difficulties, you are not going to talk yourself out of it. Or maybe you can

Well can't say I'm not curious, but €90 a year is a lot of money. To pay that for just another service for procrastination? Maybe I'll pass. Although I definitely support the idea.

You are ranting a bit too much. The reality isn't that excitingly gloom. If the waste would leak out, it would just contaminate the area around it (not that it wouldn't be bad). But it wouldn't cause the global armageddon as

Did you really think through your argument? If the waste in enclosed in some concrete shell, two hundred meters deep inside bed rock, there won't really be any on-going expenses after it has been deposited. Now one can argue about the

It's a very common fallacy to think that previous stock price somehow indicates the future price. However, one should remember that whatever caused the price to fall in the first place, probably still exists, and unless remedied will c

From what I heard about Obamacare it seemed a quite crappy deal indeed, and not really criticized properly by the Democrats. It's sad that either party can't acknowledge their own errors and have to just tout their own version of

It's simple reciprocation from game-theory perspective: when the other party lies and gains advantage, you do it too. But I feel Republicans are way more untruthful than the Democrats and simply bring down the level of discussion for e

Yes, precisely so. Type definitions are as good as the programmers who wrote them, and since humans are imperfect they make mistakes. After you have defined your types wrong, there are devious bugs in your code that you have no way of knowi
