styren··on 2021 Nobel Prize for Economics
The prize wasn't conceived by Alfred Nobel nor endorsed by him. Can I come up with my own computer science award and name it a Nobel Prize as well?
styren··on Ask HN: As a European, what should I expect working for an American company?
To be fair I'd say this holds true for most interactions I've had working in Europe in English as well.
styren··on Rent control isn’t working in Sweden
No, people in Stockholm (generally) are not interested in buying newly constructed housing. People want to move into already established neighborhoods and especially turn of the century style housing in central Stockholm, which exacerbates the issue. If "jUsT bUiLd mOrE" would solve all our problems we wouldn't have this mess.
styren··on How Discord Stores Billions of Messages (2017)
"Huddles" pick up so much noice from the background I stopped using it. Whenever I had to take a call without headphones on it was basically unusable. I'm a single data point however, your milage may vary.
styren··on ZeroVer: 0-Based Versioning
Obviously they've gotten a lot of inspiration from my favorite: Sentimental Versioning http://sentimentalversioning.org

styren··on 2.7M medical calls breached in Sweden
Why not fine the company, Medicall, responsible for taking the calls? Or Voice Integrate Nordic, who supplied the callcenter-system, depending on who is at fault.
styren··on I gave Amazon a key to my house and regretted it
What in gods name does the milkman have to do with the death penalty? The USA also has capital punishment, doesn't mean you can't leave your laptop at the café in some posh suburb.
styren··on The Shock of Sweden's Housing Market Is Hitting the Country's Currency
I recently sold my appartment in central Stockholm, I am reinvesting my money in stocks and renting for 1-2 years before hopefully entering a more healthy housing market. Of course it is all a gamble, but most people I talk to recommend waiting +1,5 years, if you can.
styren··on Why I Fell in Love with Arch Linux (2015)
Oh okey, dropbox then? Do you mean we can not assume that arch users have a way to store away their config files?
