About vesinisa

Software developer from Helsinki, Finland. Professionally working as a full-time Android developer for the past ~10 years, currently as a contractor.

I have varied interests outside of tech. I value HN for its great reading and quality, informative discussions. I try to keep my mouth shut when I don't know the subject, but if I decide to contribute I try to bear the following in mind:

We need not agree on everything, but respecting each other and seeing the human is always pivotal for lasting value of the "comments" section for everyone.

Should you want to contact me privately, my username at the Google's well-known public email service can be obtained by concatenating the items of the following array of strings in ascending alphabetical order: ["o", "laub", "sch", "b"]

    Maybe Trump is just doing what's good for America and he's strategy is exactly being unpredictable and chaotic. This is stressful for others and they make political concessions to …

    Bigotry. They are completely open that LGBT and other minority rights offend them, and they want to punish those who support such rights. These people are far more concentrated in …

    If these are legal to drive on Europe I think they have a good market offshore.

    I think you have a point, but as others have commented "allowing functions" is not the problem, as fundamental math operations are functions. But if we limit ourselves to only func…
