I don't necessarily disagree, and have no expertise on the subject. But skip to any part of this (excellent) documentary about a 'wethouse' (basically what you describe, a place fo…

Perhaps someone here can answer a question I've had for a while: if you stream a video which is actually a static image (think a song on YouTube, the 'video' is just the album cove…

There is 'Sherman' for an American which is Sherman Tank -> Yank. So that can only be WW2 onwards. And 'Ruby' for curry (Ruby Murray) is from the fifties. Those are the most recent…

I do wonder why people are so motivated to help the perpetrators of violent crimes. You could take that same energy and help the victims instead. I doubt whoever suffered whatever …

Jobs also disappear when Amazon competes with other companies and wins which doesn't always leave heaps of choice in the labour market.

I don't doubt that it will happen regardless, but what is the point of evicting people if no-one is waiting to rent the property? If the bottom falls out of the economy and regular…

Very succinct summary of why that's a wild and untenable idea.

I'm in the UK if it makes any odds. I am about to release the MVP of my first ever Saas product which (hopefully!) will have paying customers. I know I'll need to deal with the bus…

How can I send money to users (much like how Patreon sends money to their creators)? Payment gateways don't seem to cater to this - except Stripe which only supports US debit cards…

A colleague of mine read and thoroughly recommended 'The Imposter's Handbook' for devs in this situation - it's a CS overview for developers without CS degrees. Data structures, Bi…

I am currently creating a notification aggregation service where users have a bunch of configuration options which determine which notifications they will receive. I am struggling …

It was the UK who pushed for GDPR, so it won't be rescinded here just because we leave the EU.

HN is keen on side projects and threads always have plenty of us dropping links to their own and being very open. There is often the suggestion that people with small niche project…

I am about to launch a website which I have built as an MVP and I want to be able to collect/encourage feedback from users -> does anyone know good (ideally free/with a free option…

The whole 'sell before you build' theme is plastered all over this thread, as I expected. I think this originates from the whole lean/MVP school of thought but is sold in threads l…

Just programmers that can't program. Guys with years of experience tucked under their belt who struggle with simple things. I have pair programmed before with a guy to whom it wasn…

Does anyone else have experience working with developers who just cannot code? By which I mean professional devs with terrible development skills, and little knowledge or interest …
