In theory yes, only if you book via third party. But, my example shows there is some automated system that can even tag you for this if you use Ryanair to book directly. E.g. VPNs.…

Funny story on this hidden paid verification Ryanair does. This is the thing: https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/lp/explore/verification-hub Basically, you have to download a random thi…

OKRs are just a tool. They can work pretty well if you have competent people and apply them correctly. But, that can be said of any other project management system, goal management…

As someone who wears glasses, my argument was always that most people don't want to wear glasses all the time, even if they were adding no extra friction vs your regular sunglasses…

Not necessarily disagreeing with this approach - but an interesting other side to this that should be considered: what about candidates who look great on their public profiles - re…

Yes, Bobiverse and Murderbot are very close in spirit, and if you like one you are very likely to enjoy the other. Also both have great audio narration.

Most people didn't. Some small group of people spent tremendous amount of energy. I think both of you agree on that point.

Also - keeping the stuff running, and making sure nothing ever breaks, is a different problem when you just want to maintain the current state of the product and keep it stable, vs…

I'm not arguing that the setup is legitimate. I'm pointing out that the above analogy is confusing different tax types. The sales tax is not in question here. I'm all for revisitin…

No, you pay VAT/sales tax for stuff made in China. The company pays taxes on profits where the company is registered. When you pay for Netflix in France, you pay VAT on the transac…

No affiliation, but something I found on HN years ago was brain.fm: https://www.brain.fm/ I've used it as a source of instrumental, good enough music. I'm not sure if the other "sc…

"Why do so many software projects fail when you don’t see any skyscrapers collapsing under their own weight?" I think this is a great question to use as a thought exercise. We don'…

What is the alternative? Assuming here there is such a thing as a correct engineering strategy, who should define it? Or, maybe there should be no engineering strategy, at least no…

In theory SQL is SQL, even more so if your App uses a layer of indirection like an ORM. If you don't use any Oracle specific features, procedures and similar, in theory you could j…

Not sure about EEA only, but Revolut might work for you and it has virtual cards. Would be nice to have privacy.com more widely available.

Most of the pain points raised here are a day to day reality, fair enough, but I would like to also bring up another point not often surfaced here: Fellow developers not aware of t…

Etcd looks more and more promising as its usage and development activity increases. Anyone using it internally as a standalone part in the system (e.g. not just for k8s or coreos)?…

What do you think about a compromise system? Centralized entities that you give trust to, that are run by people, that "know" you - basically a bank - which is using bitcoin as a c…

Interesting, first time I heard SAP has a JVM implementation. https://scn.sap.com/people/desiree.matas/blog/2011/12/07/sap... Here is a presentation with some interesting points, w…

I'm surprised no one mentioned the source of cataclysm itself. The fact that there was a civilization and despite all its advanced knowledge - it is now gone. This would be especia…

Particularly interesting should be the part about design by committee. Remove Corba references, and it might apply to many other past and current pieces of technology: "There are n…

Great part from the docs: "SQLite does not compete with client/server databases. SQLite competes with fopen()."

How do you feel about improvements in GWT development speed? In terms of development mode, compilation times and the whole process of making a java code change and seeing the resul…

Zombie ZooKeeper nodes that appear as healthy members of the cluster after an OOM is something that can cause major problems. There are two quick solutions on the operational side …
