I like a data-first approach when designing websites. Or another way to think of it: how HTML was intended. You write HTML and later use CSS to give that data a nice look. Let's say you want to create a blog. Then you might have the fo

When you are an employee at a job you don't like, but you keep staying because you think you are irreplacable, you worry about your colleagues, or for whatever reason: just leave. The only reason you stay is a feeling of responsibility

Well I believe Bjarke Ingels (BIG) could be the right guy for the job. He already designs buildings that look like the future. But overall this is just an announcement that BIG will design employee housing for Toyota.

I believe the real Groasis inventions are: - A paper planter with a special coating that lasts for around 2 years. After that the planter will be gone and the plant has roots long enough to get water from the ground. - The planter also prov

If you like this you might also like Groasis, a company that produces boxes that can be placed around young trees so they can grow from condensation the first years. They also have a lot of success in deserts and mountain areas. https:&#x2

Yes. This always amazed me with BeOS. It would play 6 movie simultaneously making my PC very slow but still responsive. As if the framerate just went down.

If you don't mind power consumption then you can also use reflective LCD display's. Brand like Pixel Qi offer those. They have 3 modes: backlight, reflective, and a combination of both. But to be fair the reflective mode always lo

This would be the main reason I would buy an eInk monitor. There are already a lot of reflective LCD displays. For example in digital clocks and watches but they are all monochrome. Pixel Qi promised reflective displays but I believe the re

I believe ERP SaaS would fall in the category "falsehoods programmers believe about how companies store their data". There is always this exception that makes a SaaS ERP not fit for a company.

I think what you mean is: the best programmers I know add value to the company. As a freelance programmer I had to learn this. Companies don't give anything about the language, the VCS, the LOC, spaces or tabs, or anything unrelated to

I found billing per 4 hours works very well. The customer understands this and I can reserve a part of the day for one customer.

Can you explain what you are trying to say? Do you think the base of my argument is false? If so it would be helpful to point out why you think it is.

In the western world 'debt' is also promoted as freedom. So it's all about your definition of what freedom is. My personal definition of freedom is 'free of debt'

Well what else can we make of this? The only way forward is to stop judging people and come closer so we can start to understand each other.

What if you are under a regime without healthcare, loads of homeless people, extreme border patrol and police, and all you hear is that it's the land of opportunities where you can make it? The above might sound unfair but think about

Most western people are very negative about countries like Iran, China and Russia because they are the 'bad guys'. Well this article again shows that there are few countries that will not gain power over dead people. It's sad

It is a strange object but when you call it scout/messenger aren't you already very biased? Voyager 1 is sending data we could never predict so how unlikely is it that this is the first object that will give us new info about spac

Tesla is not destroying any company. I don't know why you think they do. In the USA the market share of light trucks was 73% in Q3 2019. Those are 100% not Tesla's. Tesla's revenue is ~23% of BMW group's revenue. Impress

When it comes to utility design the Rivian is far far ahead. It's not about more conventional but about more convenient. One example: you cannot throw stuff in the back of the Tesla from the side. And when it comes to towing: nobody wi

A simpler example is what a blind programmer once posted on HN. As I remember he wanted a job and wanted to hide the fact he is blind because most companies just turned him down immediately.

It is possible to post to a Samsung endpoint so we can help them gather data? This is why I never connect my TV to the internet and made it 'smart' via the HDMI input. Next step is to rebuild my house as Faraday cage.
