Time has passed and more importantly Electron based apps lowered the expectations of desktop users. I use dbeaver ( https://dbeaver.io/ ) as my go-to database tool and it's absolutely fine. Not as snappy as native apps f

Well frontend devs love marking their territory you know.

How do you even enforce such a policy? And who the hell is IDA run by? The Soup Nazi?

> To me, this is a little weird. One of the downsides of Webview based apps is that it's harder to align with the native OS look and feel. I'd agree with that in 2014 but this has been much less of a problem since the last few

No way. Time traveling UX designers are the ones designing Linux DE's today.

Although I use Python extensively and started to forget about Pascal (ex Delphi guy here), Pascal is a much better beginner language IMO. Start with Python and you're most likely to be stuck with dynamic typing/runtime mindset and

Mozilla the foundation did deserve this. This is what you get when you force a perfectly technical CEO out and let the MBA types steer the ship. A browser is a forever bleeding edge tech; you need engineers all the way to the top. They chos

EU and NATO have always been abusive partners to Turkey, that's why he's pulling out. Actually calling them allies from Turkey's pov is outright a foolish thing to do, a better word would be "frenemies".

For a similar experience in Django, one should better start with https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django instead of the default generated project.

You can achieve a primitive workspace switching scenario via libinput, xdotool and similar bandaids in any distro. What they boil down to is... once a certain 3/4 finger gesture threshold is crossed, it switches to the next/prev

That's one hell of a pessimistic view if I've ever seen one. What I see is an brilliantly managed company despite having a globally distributed team, which has a great pace of development, which is carving a nice market share in a

An HN with longer attention span and without the haste. Come to think of it that would be really sweet.

LOL. I, too, sometimes forget HN is an American majority community and get enraged by the occasional foolishly bold comment like parent's. But then the reality sets in... I am on American soil here on HN! What was I expecting?

On a tangent with this topic, you guys should treat yourselves with a short sci-fi story named "The road not taken".

That's exactly why I've been flagging. The discussions are almost identical with some conspiracy theories, how Turkey is going backwards and how much Erdogan sucks. This is just r/WorldNews level stuff right there.

I am flagging down all Turkey related threads these days. I don't see how political debates about the failed coup is a subject to be discussed on HN.

In addition to that, parent's advice is also crucial for the team's motivation. If the project is boring and you choose a boring tech stack to go, the team morale will only be harder to keep up as the time flies by.

> pointless the Yemen war, the support of ISIS and other unsavoury organisations Not pointless if you follow the politics of the region. Those are all done for breaking Iran's expanding sphere of terror.

JS scene desperately needs a moratorium on tooling just like Python did on language features 5-6 years ago. Actually the language also needs a total freeze in features. ES5, ES6, transpilers, this and that and bla bla. I used to love langua

The upside of this story is once after this kind of weaponry is fired off anywhere on earth there will be one hell of an economic vacuum and a lot of startup opportunities. Considering, of course, you're one of the lucky few million le

I'm speculating, rather sooner than later, the foundation will let people (read Chinese) clone Pi Zero at will ala Arduino way. They can't even have a profit margin with that price point. So why not open-source it anyway to let go

We're discussing international politics on HN. Gotta take it easy. Beside that, in the face of the morbid reality and impending doom in Middle-east one has the need to laugh some times.

by utku_karatas2 11y ago
I am afraid the answer to all of those questions is NOPE. ISIS did grow and will continue to grow as long as there is foreign military existence on Middle-east soil. It is extremely easy to recruit people to do anything while their national

Of course, ISIS is not a one variable function. I think the point you and @chappi42 miss is that being a jobless individual with no prospects in a war torn country with no end in sight is a whole different psychology than just being a joble

Hate to dwell on topics not suited on HN, but I'll just ask you one thing: how would the French troops on the Syrian ground even remotely help securing France? USA can pull off its invasive politics via a) pouring insane amount of reso
