It's not better on macOS. Bugs I encounter regularly: webcam not working, memory leaks, CPU usage maxed out.

I don't believe there are visa requirements between EU countries, you might want to fix that (maybe skip the EU countries for EU citizen, or give 100%?)

I've had stalkers before and it'd freak me out if I received a thank you note from someone I did not exchange contact details with.

I used to think like you until I met a coworker. He could not code to save his life, nobody in the team liked working with him. Until one day we had a boring data entry task. He co…

There is no need to spend time on the hardware either, but OP wanted to learn something. For those who might be interested here is my firmware project: https://github.com/marcv81/u…

For what it's worth my anecdotal experience is exactly the opposite. Sample size = 4 people.

"That again, they respond to stimuli but don't feel pain like an animal." I don't feel this is a valid argument. We only really know how pain feels to us, but we can guess it also …

It was SGD19 for students or SGD49 for anyone else.

Most manholes are round because that is the most practical shape such that the cover cannot fall in. There are actually other shapes, but they are usually hinged and most costly.

Many activity trackers will provide stats about how much you sleep, and how you compare with the rest of the population. I appreciate your question is about HN readers rather than …

Friends don't let friends write Makefiles at all. The author does not appear to be familiar with them, except for the trivial examples in this post.

What I meant is that quaternions don't seem any weirder to me than sin/cos.

Quarternions aren't weird. With a 2D angle we use 2 numbers (sin and cos) to calculate vector rotations. It turns out that in 3D we use 4 numbers.

I was not trying to talk other countries down. For what it's worth you can't survive in France without a checkbook: it's the only way to pay for some transactions. Sad. Also the de…

Like a few others who replied, I grew up in France. Technically debit cards indeed. Not sure card which do exclusively credit are a thing there.

I'm 35. I felt old talking about floppies and cassettes a few days ago. But I'm still young enough to not have known swipe cards :)

Objective difference: KeePass encrypts the names of the websites where you have accounts. I would not want to live without this feature.

I am not sure about naming the company, as I'm not sure it would help them (but maybe?). The device is in the IoT/fitness space. I don't think explaining good security practices to…

I am using a device which syncs to the manufacturer's cloud (major brand, you would know them). I reported a potential bug to their customer support. They asked for my login/passwo…

Yes, I suppose I am aware of their product now...

Aw man!

Yes, I realized after commenting. It's not a bad post, but I'm not sure why they tried their luck here.
