stefkors··on Ask HN: What book to read to get a footing in CS theory?
Are there any recommendations for books thats are less algorithms and more how to structure software, how to structure databases and data and how to build reliable apps/websites and reduce spaghetti code?
stefkors··on Ask HN: I don’t have a company, how can I be paid on the internet?
You can also use Mollie payments, they just transfer the amount to your account. Similar to stripe.
stefkors··on Journalism's dependence on part-time freelancers
What you are forgetting is that advertising is moving away because readers are. People came for the value they are no longer getting. Advertisers are just the result of that
stefkors··on Ask HN: For your side-projects, how do you avoid the 'money' question?
Also depends a bit on the thing you work on. But we have used local arts funding for this. It helped us be a little bit more formal, while having a small amount of money for the people helping out. It does comes with its paperwork/obligations though

One thing that always seems a but more complicated at gitlab is to get a full overview/dashboard of my companies projects/repos. Has anyone found a better way to deal with that?

stefkors··on Sketch raises $20M in Series A funding
For one it runs on about every mac you can buy, you dint really need a big expensive computer to use it. Unlike photoshop or illustrator. This together with a simple UI, features especially for interface design (so you dont have to fight to get the program out of print color mode)

Being annoyed if not being able to build my work as a designer

stefkors··on Ask HN: The Rise of the Newsletter?
I think newsletters are great. They are a media platform thats is distributed and open to everyone. Its personal and direct, and the users itself has a lot of control in how they digest the information. However Im sad to see how much of this media will end up in closed of spaces. (Same as the rise of slack/discord communities) its sad to see things are not open and public. Which makes access much more only to the few in the know.
stefkors··on Ask HN: What have you done with Raspberry Pi so far?
Being annoyed at it for being slow and always needing more packages, installs and cryptic options that need to be changed in config files.

btw: is there a alternative that “just works”?

stefkors··on Boosted gets a new CEO as the company tries to grow beyond electric skateboards
I imagine because of the european market on scooters. In The Netherlands for example electric skateboards are illegal out of the box and require a licence plate (because its a fully motorized vehicle) scooters and vespas are already ingrained in culture and have a market.
stefkors··on Thanks to Venmo, We Now All Know How Cheap Our Friends Are
The funny thing about these services is, is that in europe they have a hard time getting ground. With most banks the default bank app can do these things. Some things like requesting money also across different banks.
