Re:The Tragic Downfall of National Geographic on Friday June 30, 2023 @07:44AM (#36533192)
Are there any alternatives? In german speaking countries we have GEO magazine, but IMO the quality is also decreasing every year.

Ask HN: How to get back into engineering?

I've been an engineer for ~15 years and made the switch to product roughly 6 years ago. While I enjoy product work, I've been noticing that my true passion is still programming/SRE (mainly Python) and I'd like to get back. I fear however that most companies won't consider me,a) because I'm a bit rusty or too old (35+) b) I'm probably not up to date with the latest technologies. c) I'll likely...

Care to explain?
So we need monkeys with 100 arms, got it.
But with "background app refresh disabled", other apps (except maybe the ones from Apple) shouldn't be able to make any requests?

Ask HN: Why is my iPhone connecting to TikTok, Amazon and Aliexpress?

After a HN post two days ago, I've installed NextDNS on my iPhone and started noticing random connection requests to *.aliexpress.com, live.musical.ly, amazon.sa and others.What made me wonder is that a) I don't have "background app refresh" enabled, b) No app from TikTok, AliExpress or Amazon is installed and c) I had the phone locked ("standby") during the whole time.Does anyone know what...

Re:Computer Architecture – ETH Zürich – Fall 2019 on Tuesday November 26, 2019 @06:23AM (#21637334)
I'm curious, do you mind explaining, what a top 10 university is (e.g. ranked by students, number of published papers etc.)? FYI, the ETH is also considered as a top 10 university (top 6 actually according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QS_World_University_Rankings)
Re:Funding Django is not an act of charity, it's an investment on Tuesday February 09, 2016 @10:19AM (#11065819)

Re:django CMS 3.1 Released on Tuesday April 21, 2015 @12:26PM (#9415160)
Nice. Have been using django CMS since version 2.x and the decision to move away from django-mptt is a blessing.

Ah Netbeans! I remember using this IDE during my university time - and it still looks like shit after so many years :)

Take a good look at what JetBrains did.

Re:Someone Stole Our Awesome Website - What else shall we do? on Wednesday March 19, 2014 @06:17AM (#7427649)
Well, the website looks crappy anyway - the copycats should have invested 10$ and buy a template from somewhere.

1. Author must be a very funny guy. 2. Commenting is part of the HN concept. 3. Author is super smart too.

What are some great "marketing strategies" for startups on a budget?

After more than 12 months of development time, I've recently started a course/educational website and we're facing the egg and chicken problem: Without courses, no students, without students, no teachers (who offer courses).What are some effective (and maybe crazy) marketing ideas to get some traffic (from both sides) to the website?We tried spreading flyers and scraping the web for...

Why is HN getting filled with these "genius" medium.com posts, which are basically just crap?
Does anyone know of a service provider which also allows you to SEND money (via wire transfer) to customers? I've been looking for that since a long time and contacted airbnbs provider, but no reply at all. This function is used if you are acting as the middle man between 2 parties.
