You won't get a visa to stay in NL beyond the default Schengen tourist visa. If you want permission to live in NL for longer, you'll have to apply for a residence permit. If you're American, you can get a DAFT self-employmen

Yes but... as I mention in sibling post, all roads seem to end up profit seeking. It will be much more profitable to train AI on what music is popular and sells well, then produce new music which is not close enough to be infringing while s

Thanks, but even finding a qualified person to give advice is challenging. The best approach seems to be starting with people who are living this life and have gone through some of this already (and possibly made mistakes or would do it dif

Given the likelihood that each side could see improvements from code changes and optimizations, and that the results are similar-ish, that leads me to say that one is just as good as the other in general. This is especially true for most pe

I'm guessing it will be an expensive keyboard. As such, HN is probably the best market because we will be the early adopters, and our colleagues will see our awesome new thing and perhaps also want one. Dropbox is a very useful thing

I love it, from what I see. I will definitely be an early buyer (US version...). I wish we could all have a real conversation about key layouts, though. The layout with the less reachable left shift and right enter/return is just dum

This looks SO nice. The different key surface shapes are something that's missing from most keyboards. I created a very ugly but more usable Moonlander Mk1 by changing out several of the keycaps with other shaped caps from different s

Perhaps, but some of those courses are actually useful; and some of the creators build solid businesses. What is becoming a problem is the super low quality, autogenerated derivatives. But those are more a symptom of a broken internet (you

What you want is not what "bookmarks" are. You're asking for a combination of bookmarks+start page+history. You can have all of those things, and it's probably not too difficult to build an extension which provides the

In my not so extensive Clojure experience, there's almost nothing you need to know about JVM to do real things with Clojure. If you're building something big/complex enough that you need to know something about the JVM, then

If that becomes an issue, I think it's reasonable that companies will start providing extra money to remote workers to cover operating costs. After all, those same companies will need to lease less office space (meaning lower costs fo

The screen size is the only real limitation for me when using my M1 Air. The keyboard is pretty decent, the trackpad is just right, and the form factor is wonderful. There is a noticeable loss in human productivity by not having a separate

I'm 30% tempted to give Linux a full time try again, this time on a Framework laptop. I previously used a Dell XPS 15 (high spec), but it was loud and hot and not a pleasant experience.

We all had external keyboards, mice, and multiple monitors on our desks. The only time we were ergonomically constrained was when we were mobile. But we could be mobile at a moment's notice, and with all our stuff still running. Now

That also suggests that modern tech workers who have a hybrid work arrangement are outliers. That's getting to be a pretty large group. Heck, even before COVID, my previous company only gave out laptops. Those things would get moved

Obviously there is a defect problem affecting some of the new Macbooks, and Apple needs to step up and take responsibility. But that said, I personally think the Apple Silicon computers (the Air in particular) are worthy of the hype. This
