They won't. Just as most modern devs can't edit assembly and would take days to write a bare bone network communcation, they won't need to learn certain things we did. And they wil…

Russia has a history of intense state surveilance und state sponsored hacking. Pair that with immense corruption and an authoritarian law system. Do I think that the USA does the s…

We use this technique as a guide in our company. If someone (knowledgable) would ask "What does this method call do?" and the method name does not answer that, your PR doesn't go i…

That's a dead end link. Try to create an archive.org link.

We could use an international magazine or media channel that focuses solely on tools that have prooven to be robust and reliable. And on trustworthy companies with good value for m…

It's really hard for me to not think of mallice when people say things like "The governments takes half my money!" In germany, when having a (quite high) 100k pay, you effectively …

Thats common chemical knowledge. Don't be that guy. Still, as other pointed out, he missed the point by a mile.

One can't switch to a different tab, out of the browser or lock the phone while continuing listening to the video/podcast/music.

A simple realization helped me to get out of the loop of night thoughts a lot quicker: At night your reasoning abilty is massively impaired by melatonin. Thats why your thoughts ke…

tldr: the foundational problem is lack of liability The whole ecosystem of modern programming and software is just insanely opaque. As an enduser you have very little clue who is t…

Adressing nr. 1: Oftentimes it is make or break for a company/project to get the programmers to follow yagni. Cleaning up old code can very much offer no value (short or long term)…

The management of the establishment was what killed the vibe for fission energy. And in this regard the greens where right. Many facilities (back then and now) where unsafe (e.g. U…

Same goes for the walled of news articles posted on HN. If you can't link to it or provide an accessible copy of it, it can't be expectes to be part of public discourse.

But we are not rational machines. There is a difference in emotion and depth to buying a cookbook, or randomly stumbling upon a dish you (maybe unexpectedly) like and take the idea…

I can't see why so many people look down on traveling. I do not tell people unless asked (it is not part of my identity) but I traveled my fair share and it changed me a lot. The f…

I think this depends strongly on your companies bussines area. If you have BB with companies really relying on your product and long running contracts, the customer wants what he p…

That sounds like an awesome trick to write tough female chracters without having your tainted brain trick you into sterotypes. Just random all genders up after writing.

Add some localization to include country specific news and theme filters and I'd pay for this without hesitation. Free me from this cacophony of ever repeating "content" news.

Seems about time to download all of my playlists. Good by you beautiful era of the internet.

The modern internet is deprived of ornamentation in the same way modern architecture is. Tiktok allready upped the speed and made a lot of the established web seem terribly boring.…

Hell, that's a damn book of an article. A short warning would have been apreciated.

Sounds like you're a native english speaker? Translations to english often worked "well enough" with google. But as soon as you tried the other way arround, or from one non english…

Thank you for your analogy. Demand shapes supply is a capitalism fairy tale. For most markets you just can't buy what you want. Even if you would be willing to pay 2 to 4 times. Yo…

Fascinating to hear your perspective on this. I think a lot of people will fall out of the sky. Beeing overtaken before even realizing why. In germany most of my friends and colleg…

This is the perfect example. You start out like that and all is fine, but two years, a few changes and some bugfixes later your now 2700 line method is a total zombie. The comments…
