Its not two realities. Its one population chunk living in reality and one chunk living in a misinformation fueled delusion. Special interests have managed to weaponize social media…

$2.06M for eight employees seems very steep

You are violating DRY principle. Copied code, with minor variation, spread out through a codebase is, seriously, the root of all evil.

I don't know specifically about the Bay Area, but everywhere else in the world having a bunch of short stints on your CV would be a bad thing. It also doesn't take many 5 - 15% pay…

Do 21 year old people at the start of their career really take home $100K in SF? Thats crazy. How much would a 30 year old with a masters in CS get?

So a comment containing an explicit referral to the guidelines is not considered moaning, but a comment implicitly referring to the guidelines is?

So moaning about a comment is okay, but moaning about a submission is not okay ever. Got it.

You seem to struggle with the fact that your personal interests and the HN submission guidelines diverge. Even though the story of a Hotel manager levying unlawful charges against …

Would the proper response then not be to flag my comment rather than making a comment about it not adhering to the guidelines?

>> Which amount to "whatever piques one's intellectual curiocity" and "whatever good hackers like" It only amounts to that if you completely disregard this part: "Off-Topic: Most s…

This part apparently: "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports ... If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." But forgive me, I am, unlike you, not the type …

Why is this on hackernews?

Just buy a Synology NAS and be done with it.

Demo doesn't work. Not super impressed.

Good. I wish all the people developing crappy and useless apps, flooding the place, would get banned. You publish 10 different apps where the only thing that changes is the youtube…

34 years old and has been at Microsoft for 15 years? That seems a little strange

According to Robert C. Martins book "Clean Code", and the SLAP principle, the maximum length of a method (yes, an entire method) is around 20 - 50 lines of code. If it gets longer …

Hibernate is free. jOOQ not so much. Hibernate can work with noSQL databases, jOOQ not so much. Also, there are alternatives to jOOQ such as QueryDSL (free btw).

I like how it says "Rock-Solid Ecosystem", yet I have had the exact opposite experience trying to install even the most basic things with Cabal. I still can't get the Sublime text …

This doesn't seem surprising, given the cost (I assume) of living in SF.
