_RPM··on Asana raises $50M at a $1.5B valuation
It seems that it’s fashionable to hate JIRA on this forum. I’m not sure how one can be so religious about a workflow management tool.

_RPM··on The New Atlanta Billionaires Behind the Unlikely Tech Unicorn MailChimp

_RPM··on Update to Ask HN: What to do if I’m about to lose my job to mental health issues
I'm glad the therapist worked for you. For me, my stance on therapy is that it's bullshit tried and true. I was in therapy for 1 year before realizing that I was going in there and making up problems I was having. I had 4 therapist in that time. The first 2 were actually horrible, and it was basically a sweatshop getting you in and out.

Basically, they sit there and listen, and let you talk about things. Giving you advice? No way.

Being an authoritative person? No. I was not able to fully accept that the empathy therapist show is FAKE, it's not real. You're literally paying them to sit there and listen to you.

I wasn't able to get over the fact that they don't care about you or your life, at the end of the day it's a business.

For instance, let's say one day you lose your insurance? All of sudden your therapist isn't going to help you anymore, etc.

It's all bullshit.

_RPM··on The Cartel Next Door
Reading this makes me sick. Mexico is embedded with corruption and it will never change. Murder is culture there. What a horrible horrible place with horrible terrorists. I hope el gato gets arrested soon and goes to prison here in America to pay for his actions.
_RPM··on Tell HN: Using Gmail? You will be force logged into Chrome

_RPM··on Ask HN: What are questions you should ask your future manager in an interview?
Only you can answer this. What is important to you in a workplace? For example, one question I ask is this: How often are new features being developed into the software, and what group / person implements them?

_RPM··on Apple SIM
Actually, you’re wrong. Att sells an iPhone that is not compatible with CDMA networks. Trust me bud, I’ve done all the research. Apple sells their devices with the ability to use any of the 4 carriers.
_RPM··on Apple SIM
I bought an iPhone 7 from AT&T, and the device is not compatible across the major carriers.
_RPM··on Apple SIM
Whatever you do, do not purchase any device from AT&T. You will be locked in to GSM only networks.
_RPM··on Facebook's Zuckerberg Says the Age of Privacy Is Over (2010)
Zuckerberg is a grimy one. Reading his FB posts make me want to throw up. He's so full of shit.

Edit: Before this is censored. Do you honestly believe he is on a mission to make the world more open and connected?

With the posix extension, PHP does not have the capability to fork a process. And even if user is using curl, curl does not get forked. Do you know what the fork system call does? Do you think when you use curl, a process becomes forked?
_RPM··on TinyVM – A small and easy to understand virtual machine in C
Great work. After scanning the source tree with my eyes, I have yet to find the implementation of the instruction set. Therefore, I wouldn't say this is small.

I'm curious. what mg do you take? I've been prescribed 40 mg as the starting dose, after Focalin IR had negative effects.
_RPM··on In Praise of ADHD
my therapist tells me ADHD is a real thing. But, it's hard for me not see through the lines that a psychiatrist is only prescribing medicine because they can bill the insurance a ton of money and make bank.
