True. Let me clarify that I approach software as a solutions first, meaning, I am a user first. When said software is open source, it allows me to hack on it, improve it, etc. What is imporrant is rhat if there's no perceived value for

I tried to be explicit that my comment was anecdotal, but apparently failed.

Congrats and thank you for your hard work. Now for a contrarian comment: whenever I read "in Rust", or whatever language, it does not make it cool or interesting to me . Rather, it makes it sound like it is a POC or training mate

I lack experience in custom builds, but judging by the amount of work, you might as well just buy raw galvanized sheets and build from scratch, no? The only upside I see from Hyllis is that maybe it's just cheaper than raw materials be

Every position has a storytelling. That of HR is about building a double standard: on the one hand, a discourse that emphasizes on the employees' best interests, while on the other hand, take actions that are on the employer's sol

We're still working like (eg.) coal miners, inherited from the first industrial revolution. More people, more hours: more coal extracted. Interestingly, farmers in the middle ages are a much more balanced model (catastrophes aside): th

I agree globally. I'll keep my remarks to myself they're not crucial, but here's another example I've put to test many times and you can try every day: Never wear outfits with more than 3 colors. I have simplified my ga

Anything compared to the US annual military budget seems cheap and a good idea. PS: Dear commenter, please don't "how about X?" in comments. I know you're smart. So smart you can find a counter example. Congratulations,

With this logic, I assume you'd call the ISS a useless project.

unfortunately, this is bad maths. Open the company anywhere the founder(s) is/are. Just pick a reasonable location if you have many options. The reasons being that you should never run a business without accounting and legal advice, so

Accessible knowledge, educated surroundings and internalized behavior (read: habit) to self-educate are three very different things. Bourdieu is a good start on these topics.

OK, I see. I did read that differently and thus missed this angle.

I personally do not think one is better than the other. I stand by the saying "S.he who has read 1000 books has lived 1000 lives". When fiction, the life of the characters. When "nonfiction", share the life and thoughts

I wasn't aware of the poor response of the maintainers. That contextualizes the situation quite clearly and explains the frustration better. Thanks for the explanation.

I'm going to be totally subjective and please accspt I'm not being judgmental. I have not read through all the list but by skimming, there's a really huge majority of nonfiction books. I love nonfiction and I'm reading q

That is a misunderstanding. When I say "I work for a software company", there are a myriad of job positions, not only software. Accounting was just another example, but also legal, HR, sales, etc. It is up to the audience to assum

You nailed it. I've spent 10+ years in SaaS businesses, and I've simplified my job description to: I work for a software company. It does not say anything about what I do, it could mean engineering or accounting or... And if/

Sentry is among these products that are open-source but hardly self-hostable. I mean, unless you fancy an Ops team to run your error reporting. But generally speaking, unless you have extreme privacy concerns, the economics favor SaaS subsc

That is poor use of rhetorics. Because he didn't start it doesn't mean he didn't contribute to the development of the company. Also, no one can claim that success would have been at the doors without his input. Note: I'm

Agreed. In the humanitarian scenario in a war zone, an airship just looks like a very big, very visible target. I don't understand this use case, except if you consider that humanitarian corridors are always respected in warfare but th

A reasonable argument seems to account for the cargo capacity per unit of pollutive emission. I don't have the numbers but my wishful-thinking-o-metre is high. And since that metric was off the radars in 1930s, that is definitively new

Finally, after almost 100 years, we are overcoming the trauma caused by the incident of the Hindenburg[1]. I am really looking forward to what opportunities it may open. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ_129_Hinde
