But the OP may not find it 'interesting'. I guess he told us only half of the story.

Wow, thank you! I'm still using Notepad2 from 2012.

From a scientific point of view we can - not just will - never know the origin of life. Of course, popular science frames it differently.

Is it related to this viral story? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiLjTMVMkrg

On Windows FreeCommander is a good free Commander. https://freecommander.com

IIRC, the average developer output is 10 lines of code per day.

Well, the EU is just the largest economy in the wold.

I thought the UK left the EU after havin negotiated the deal in an afternoon.

>> if no one had an army, armies would not be needed.

Lol, the US has an army because they need to attack other countries!

Nonsense, I live in central Europe.

Albania, Kosovo, Moldova ...

The problem is not the "nation state" but nationalism.

It's the competition. Free as in Free and free as in free are better than free as in FREE TRIAL ACCOUNT.

news.ycombinator.com ... OMG!

A higher peak in the hype cycle.

But what is a Technical Writer?

Or wait another year and pick the winner of the JavaScript framework war. It's unlikely that we will see new and relevant(!) JS frameworks over the next few years as we have seen in the past. 20 - 25 years ago dozens of Windows frameworks appeared on the market. Eventually VB won. History is repeating itself.

That's not the point. You know why Google removed them from the search results.

Listen to this TED talk. They are Google's competitor ...

Not for a moment.

Or is it rather that mathematicians should care about philosophy?

> So all in all, statistically, you can maximize your chances of getting a popular HN post by ...

It's the same in all groups. You get popular by posting content that conforms to the group-think and avoid content that doesn't. This leads to uniform, harmonic but also eventually uninteresting groups that sanction deviant behavior.

He probably confuses 'external' versions (APIs, contracts) and 'internal' versions (builds). Both are largely independent of each other.

> more than they worry about solving business problems.

That's why companies implement Agile. It's all about "solving business problems". No architecture, no design, no documentation (merely 'user stories'). Dump and re-write instead of maintain. All your problems solved!

>> "Work on something that matters to you more than money."

> This is incredibly naive.

It is incredibly challenging - given the economic and social constraints of 'modern' life.

I have no doubt that you cannot win the 'war' on the language front. All those bloggers, internet and conference luminaries that never write real-world production code miss the point. It's about the platform, the whole programming ecosystem not about 'beautiful' syntax. That's why Java - the platform (Java EE, Android, ...), not the language - won and is still going strong. New languages (D, Rust, ...) have not the ghost of a chance unless they are able to create a platform.

> There's expected to be a solar panel shortage coming soon because the industry is growing so fast

The Chines companies haven't caused panel shortage in the past. Quite the contrary. They ruined many producers in Europe with their dumping prices.
