Re:Ask HN: What has been bothering you lately? on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @08:36AM (#48569564)
oh thanks for asking! I have never been very goal oriented, and despite how this may sound, I am quite satisfied with what I have accomplished. That's sort of the problem, I am in a too comfortable position at the moment. So for me to pull the trigger in any direction I'll need some real motivation. Most of what I am exposed to at the moment seems irrelevant or not worth my effort. I need to keep trying things and find a way to break out of my comfort zone as cliche as it sounds ;d

- General lack of integrity at higher spheres (and where this can lead the world to)

- The current situation where distribution matters way more than product quality

- Lack of clear personal goals

been there, done that

unfortunately, the karabiner workaround will work for a little while, but the rest of the keys will start failing until it's impossible to remap the keys :/

if Spain does that to protect LaLiga football games, god knows what they do against political rivals or movements such as Catalonia in 2017...or now?
Re:25 Years of Wikipedia on Thursday January 15, 2026 @10:32AM (#46633964)
Since we as a culture will be forgotten, a reminder that the catalan wikipedia was the 2nd one to have an article after the english version :)
if that's the argument, let's drop all the languages and focus on english :)
Of course catalan isn't in the list. 10 million speakers that don't matter to the European Union. EU likes our productivity but squanders our rights. We are 2nd class citizens.

Now let's wait for the people saying "Spain" could change this. Hypocrites.

Cultural genocide at its best.

Re:The Sagrada Família Takes Its Final Shape on Friday September 19, 2025 @06:39AM (#45300099)
I walk by it every week and I still stop every single time. I was born and live in the neighbourhood and I've seen it progress. It's really inspiring to see man can conceive such beauty and wonder. I agree with other comments mentioning we software developers can/should especially appreciate it for the humongous endeavour, work in progress and feat of engineering it means. I also like to think Gaudi and Barcelona have impacted the way I see and appreciate design, and how I lamely try to embed it into my work!

are you sure Orwell wasn't referring to the actual Cathedral of Barcelona? (not Sagrada Familia)

We are in a crisis of morals.

There has always been trashy people but since 2020 it feels like a lack of morals is rewarded more than ever.

Re:Rick Steves: Are Americans Still Welcome in Europe? on Thursday April 10, 2025 @12:36PM (#43645617)
That's a whole other topic. There's a relevant part of Barcelona's society who reject tourists in general (not Americans specifically) because of the impact tourism has had in the city. Note that many still haven't recovered of the impact of 2008 GFC, 2010-2012 slump, with incomes still under pre-2008, and who are now having serious trouble to even afford a roof. So even though there might be some minor hostility towards tourism, it has nothing to do with americans. It's a problem in every major european city I believe.
Re:Rick Steves: Are Americans Still Welcome in Europe? on Thursday April 10, 2025 @12:23PM (#43645479)
TLDR: Yes, of course.

PS: Happy to show you around if visiting Barcelona.

AFAIK fees are put by banks not the Paddle/Stripe. Stripe also 'charges' $15 for any dispute, even if won.
Re:Ask HN: What have you recently failed at? on Saturday March 08, 2025 @08:34PM (#43305328)
That was the spirit of the question, failing is good because it means we are trying :) Failure is part of the process to success (whatever success means to you)
Never let a good crisis go to waste. If you can use this one to finish the catalan middle class, go for it!
