WAANK doesn't always hire the best people. Most I interviewed from these were average. They did know how to solve high school algorithms tho.

next, we need a lightweight node/electron based wm, and we have a nice JS based OS all around

I genuinely believe OSS is great for sharing knowledge, but I also genuinely believe that no other industry out there has managed to play itself at this scale. Every single tool yo…

yeah let's all split those 8$ it costs, because that's what will get us out of the grind. 8$ a month is less than two coffees, if you need to split such costs among peers then you'…

coughlinuxcough what? linux vs corporate is not the same as literally cloning every small piece of software out there for the sake of getting a job and glory.

Oh look a free clone of a commercial product, let's all jump on it and undermine the devs of postman and insomnia, whom have escaped the 9 to 5 by building awesome tools, because t…

Ah the memories! Had no idea Haiku was an open source implementation of BeOS. Port Electron to it, and I commit to writing tools for this OS in my spare time!

It’s 2020 and the EU still thinks more bureaucracy is the way to go. I am not entirely sure US websites should necessary spend more to accommodate GDPR, which itself should be revi…

Thanks for this - sent to my printer for a weekend self training session.

Rust appears to have a strong push on hackernews, and perhaps DLang should push harder in here. I remember first time i used this language on a friday night on my raspebrry pi and …

The clearest explanation of how gpus work for games and how to optimise performance. Can anyone please recommend more articles as detailed and clear as this one on the topic, i am …

D is by far my favourite niche language, due to its clean syntax and ease of use. I am surprised it’s not gaining traction.

One needs to factor in all costs associated with a source of energy, including environmental impact and health costs, which make coal more expensive than other sources. If populati…

Would be interesting to describe in more detail what makes it performance oriented.

"The family farmer is going extinct." This is a pretty sad state of affairs. I feel like this is true for other industries as well, including tech. Corporate socialism appears to b…

Yeah having been back to Romania for a while now I think the article is a gross understatement of the amount of fraud and poor investment choices surrounding EU funding. However, t…

This seems like a recipe for success that can be applied in some east european countries still lagging behind the rest of the eu: take old and run down shop in areas with a good po…

I suppose asteroid mining would be a next step.

Indeed, one step at a time tho.

Curious how world politics will change once electric vehicles become mainstream and there is little need for oil.

Pretty concerned about how the EU will evolve. There is little introspection post brexit, and it appears to be just as rigid and clueless as before the vote. On a positive note, I …

Depends. It is not as easy as it used to be (i.e.: i haven't heard of people bribing police officers directly). However, what people working with / in the police told me is that on…

Depends on the country I suppose. In Romania doing 150 km/h in a 50 km/h area is pretty common, and generally speaking reckless driving, road rage and a handful of other things whe…

Most cars around Romania are German made and used, most recently clocked or written off in that country. But the issue is driving culture and lack of policing I think. Romania had …
