Many people have been and are contributing. But when there isn't critical mass or appreciation for changes they move on to other things. So the python community is not only left with the flaws but can't attract people to fix them.

Seemingly the whole point is to be accesible and simple by being arduino compatible. It has also already sold and shipped $400k+ worth.

Even the "worst" neighborhoods are calm in Stockholm. It's nothing compared to, say, Paris or Brussels. Living in the suburb, you're far more likely to get hurt by boredom than anything else. A lot of people in Stockholm

I think a better variation of that idea is embedding (or welding on) some sort of RFID chip in the frame that could be reported stolen or reprogrammed with a long code. Then you could search for stolen bikes in public places or put a automa

"Do note that tax levels are rather high once you reach higher levels of income (50%-55% marginal tax rate)" Also note that this is a potentially good time of year for someone to start working in Sweden. Since the tax rate is prog

To some extent, but personally I think it has just gone to far in the current direction that it doesn't really matter what you do. When people think of Sweden as a "practical and policy driven place" it's a legacy of a c

Does the article support them catching or convicting more drug dealers? I didn't read it in detail, but it seemed like the point was that the sentencing was different more so than catching or convicting people.

I think that's an unfair comparison. The reason for EE is to in the end ship products, often many, that works a long time. You can (to some extent) disregard good practices, barely read the datasheets and cobble things together in EE t

I've heard from multiple people who had their projects (software, electronics, organizations) make the rounds in online communities that HN was the worst experience.

You are free to tell me why you think I'm rude or respond to any of my argument and I'll be happy to answer, but please don't use this rhetoric were I'm supposed to either admit that I'm rude or come off as arrogant

While I agree that Linux has become better in this regard, this is not a good example of it. That you have problem running a cross platform application on a platform that has much larger ecosystem of users and experienced developers and tha

Yes and those arguments, that open source is a good or even the best way to tinker is to a large extent based on the ideology of open source. Someone who isn't convinced about the greatness of open source and/or might prefer other

I don't see how that is unique to Linux. Plenty of people, probably more, have had those same experiences with other operating systems. I can see why someone would like, or even prefer, to tinker with Linux and it would of course be a

I think (hope) people come here to procrastinate as it is a perfect fit. The groundhog day of Internet forums where every day things reset so you can reiterate your opinion like nothing happened.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems quite futile to ask your current (very selective) user base what they want.

Since the term hacker has become so widespread I think it's hard for people to appreciate the difference between scenes calling themselves hackers, but also to recognize other forms of computer subculture. I also think the previous com

I'm not sure there is a productive conversation to be had. Even in the very unlikely case of the US changing their policy, there's nothing stopping anyone else. Even in the very unlikely event that hackers can agree to how the In

I agree with your and the parents comments about hacker culture being counterculture. I don't agree that it still is. The countercultural aspect largely disappeared as computers (and software) became cheap and information widely availa

Many smart people have made studies about online communities since the Internet became mainstream. It's just that publishers, and maybe developers especially, don't understand or value these types of problems.

It's slightly anticlimactic when the comment being responded to is a casual dismissal completely missing the context of the text. I've seen plenty of stories on HN where there's some random flamewar on top and the authors ins

"It's very easy to recognize a bogus livable cities ranking: if it doesn't include a single Swiss city in its Top 10, like the list above, look elsewhere." Zurich and Geneva ranked 10 and 12 last year. To not put those c

Yes, roaming works. Preferably you use a HK sim. At least foreign companies can buy a connection to a foreign IX that doesn't go through the firewall. You can pickup HK 4G in SZ without roaming. International traffic from China sucks i

Where is the supporting evidence in the paper of that educational outcomes is "because of disincentives"? At least I can't find any.

While they might not realized, many programmers will already specialized in software development. Meaning their career will take them to technical lead, project manager, software architect etc. and not "number crunching".

Providing customer service is what a retailer does. It's fine not to want to sell something, but writing rants in response (especially when you suggest your own products instead) isn't very nice. Retailers also take quite a big pi
