202206241203··on The rise of lonely, single men
Yes, and if you leave the job employer takes half of your stuff and recurring lifetime compensation payments as per the contract.
202206241203··on Qt signal is ten times slower than a virtual function
So, x100 times faster than ReactJS?
202206241203··on Instagram can track anything you do on any website in their in-app browser
Yes, but people love that, otherwise e.g. freemium and ad-driven games would not exist.

Consumers have a payment-avoiding behaviour as a status quo.

202206241203··on 'Too many employees, but few work': Pichai, Zuckerberg sound the alarm
I have heard that "young people are just smarter", will we see a new CEO of Meta any day now?
202206241203··on 'Too many employees, but few work': Pichai, Zuckerberg sound the alarm
> Top of the World tech innovator

Yes, top reason an average enterprise developer has to deal with a distributed mess as opposed to a more manageable monolithic one: "we will do microservices despite being nothing like Netflix". On the upside, more developers are now required.

Fighting for scraps that algotrading funds and seed-level start-ups left :).
202206241203··on 'Too many employees, but few work': Pichai, Zuckerberg sound the alarm
Some engineers see themselves as merely tools, so they "sharpen" themselves to be used effectively. Why would MAANAM (FAANG is a bit outdated) want more creative ones? They will get bored and leave.
202206241203··on W4 Games formed to strengthen Godot ecosystem
Monetisation phase starts.
202206241203··on Ask HN: Is no one hiring junior devs?
What is the benefit of hiring them? Mentorship takes time away from seniors and code needs a thorough review if not full refactoring.
202206241203··on No More “Insight Porn”
"Are you guys working?

Yes, sir, Mr. Simpson.

Could you, um, work any harder than this?"

202206241203··on MiniRust
> I think Rust will do just fine

Not mainstream language 'fine', but fine.

202206241203··on From throwaway side project to Switch in 2 years: my indie gamedev story
I don't want to sound dismissive, but saying "a game will have a lot of things going for it" to me sounds like about average. I mean it can still work out, but it does raise a flag.

> I’ve been a self-sustaining indie game dev for 12 years.

You might know better than me, admittedly.

202206241203··on From throwaway side project to Switch in 2 years: my indie gamedev story
I hear this "luck" thing a lot but not sure that's the case. It's probably more originality + quality. So few undiscovered gems out there, thousands of average things though.
202206241203··on Ask HN: How to Handle Help Vampires?
I typically just ignore if for 30 minutes. It seems that they do learn eventually!
202206241203··on Microsoft Windows is prohibited at Gitlab
I guess you are right, it looks even worse then... Where is that money even going.
202206241203··on Bringing back the golden days of Bell Labs
International industrial espionage was less of a problem back then.
202206241203··on We're improving search results when you use quotes
I got an idea: make search engine take useful results that you want and DALL-E them with ads to serve you mock websites with plausible content.
202206241203··on Kubernetes reinvented virtual machines in a good sense
Kubernetes... It's something they used to utilise in the past before cloud-native, right?
202206241203··on What happens when society collapses (2021)
Isn't slow deterioration into a second/third world socialism more likely?
202206241203··on Tell HN: Collection of the some top HN Posts
Wow, most of them are about such a negative matters...
202206241203··on Stranger Things is being edited retroactively by Netflix?
It might turn into another woke crusade to make old movies inoffensive.
202206241203··on Facebook's TikTok-like redesign marks sunset of social networking era
Like Microsoft without Azure.

Or Google without... or like Google.

202206241203··on The Case for C# and .NET
They don't forget to charge same (even increased) fee for minimal updates, though.
202206241203··on The Case for C# and .NET
Rails is still a thing in 2022?
202206241203··on The Case for C# and .NET
Rider does not have a community edition unlike IDEA. It was created due to a combined threat of VS Code and Roslyn and is the reason ReSharper is almost neglected these days.
202206241203··on Spain will introduce free train travel
> We subsidize roads and everyone is OK with that.

Maybe making people walk more would cut the medical expenditure.

202206241203··on Windows lost market share in the last decade
I think this was posted as a sarcastic/ironic thing.
202206241203··on Soft deletion probably isn't worth it
It's something that a team of a PM, a QA and two developers can bill for at least a sprint. So, well worth it.
202206241203··on Ask HN: How to get developers and UI designers to work well together
Calmly explain to designers, that their purpose is to serve the developers' needs and they should refrain from bombastic designs and focus on technical feasibility.
202206241203··on My Poor Experience With Azure (or why I'm sticking with AWS)
Strange names also help hiding the semi-duplicate products.
