Stop follow hacker news and you will rapidly recover from this illness.

He is a sysadmin...
mtct··on The Developer's Dystopian Future
Where do you live? In the center of San Francisco?

In every other place in the world nobody give a damn about the latest technology. They only need something that work for they problems.

mtct··on What Kind of Buddhist was Steve Jobs?
"Every man is free to do what he want and nobody can say him anything"

"So I'm free to force other to do want I want?"

Freedom must be protected and preserved, is not something that naturally happen.

mtct··on The homogenization of scientific computing (2013)
One of the best description for python that I've ever heard
mtct··on Agony of an African programmer
A medium city in north Italy. There are significant differences in terms of salary and HUGE differences in term of jobs availability and cost of living.

Some planning is needed if you want to a nice living.

mtct··on Agony of an African programmer
I work in C#, sometime javascript if needed.

For a small IT consulting firm.

mtct··on Agony of an African programmer
Yes
mtct··on Agony of an African programmer
Actually yes, I live with my parents.

I would probably be able to rent a small 1-room flat but for now I prefer to save money.

mtct··on Agony of an African programmer
Better than half of my peers for sure.

Of course you can grow with time, both in salary and in responsibility, for now I'm the classical code monkey but I have an idea for a startup that would like to develop so I will leave the job before the end of the year.

mtct··on Agony of an African programmer
I, in Italy, as a junior software developer, earn €17000/year.

And genuinely I'm not complaining.

Also on F# and functional programming two introductory video series from microsoft:

mtct··on Contributing to the F# Language, Library and Tools
Also, Visual Basic and Visual C++ don't have a good support in the mono project.

And obviously you can't use SQL Server or IIS; two components usually used in .Net applications; under unix

mtct··on Contributing to the F# Language, Library and Tools
a relatively successful company.

Xamarind is a drop in the sea of .NET

mtct··on Contributing to the F# Language, Library and Tools
Yes and not, you surely can develop successfully with mono on linux, but .NET is not "write once, run everywhere", is more a "write once, run everything" framework. It's heavy tangled with all the Microsoft and Windows technology and promote the reuse of code in that ecosystem.
mtct··on Contributing to the F# Language, Library and Tools
No, you probably don't want to use F# if you can't use the .NET framework.
mtct··on Detecting duplicate images with Python
This is a very good article on images hashing. Thanks
mtct··on Building and modifying Linux Kernel with Visual Studio
heresy!
mtct··on Free Startup Ideas
I don't think build a business is as easy as choose from a list.

You sure can implement every problem reported in that list but if you don't know/have the problem in first person, how good can your solution be?

mtct··on [dead]
As citizen for me he is a traitor.

But as free person for me is an hero.

mtct··on Hyperemployment, or the Exhausting Work of the Technology User
Physical labor is great because you don't have time to worry about anything else.

Vous devez avoir, dit Candide au Turc, une vaste et magnifique terre? — Je n’ai que vingt arpents, répondit le Turc; je les cultive avec mes enfants; le travail éloigne de nous trois grands maux: l’ennui, le vice, et le besoin.

mtct··on $2,999 Mac Pro to go on sale in December
More I look at it and less I like it.

The design is weird and certainly not elegant.

Try to imagine it with 5 cables that come out from the "back" (a cylinder don't have a real back).

mtct··on Modern Minimalism
10/10

You made me reply.

mtct··on Why Companies Founded By College Dropouts Rarely Hire College Dropouts
Ok, in the hall of fame everyone have a college degree. But for the millions of anonymous workers, college is really convenient?
