This might be a little offtopic, but where can I find a list of tech conferences in Europe for the next month? I'll be in the Netherlands during the first week of february.

Luckily you can fix the buffering behaviour with a browser extension. Look for "SmartVideo for Youtube".

Computer craft, which uses Lua for scripting, is by far the most popular. There's a ton of tutorials available for it on YouTube.

Wow. I'm actually impressed by the load speed of that page.

As someone who lives in South America I've gotten used to sites loading in 2+ seconds, but this one feels almost instantaneous.

They actually cost $15 USD/yr. In fact, the price has decreased over the years. [1]

Re:Ask HN: What do you use for chat? on Monday September 24, 2012 @08:23AM (#4564247)
I rather prefer talking via text. It's quicker, doesn't ruin my concentration as much, and doesn't bother my coworkers. I'm also always with headphones on so having to take them off to listen to someone is a big hassle.

Seems like Hacker News is missing from the "Where did you hear about us?" box.
My work is currently uninteresting, which makes me bored/unmotivated. The salary isn't good either.

Looking into moving to a developed nation.

Agreed. A browser extension/greasemonkey script would be a better option in this case.

Or better, a link to the video itself?
It's a shame their site is so slow. It often takes 10+ seconds to open a single MDN page, so sometimes I just click the w3schools link if I don't feel like waiting.

If only they used plain HTTP instead of HTTPS...
