Re:Revolt: Open-Source Alternative to Discord on Thursday March 06, 2025 @04:59AM (#43278341)
So you have the chance to redesign Discord and you decide to stick with the unicorn-puking emoji-littered eye-scorching UX/UI garbage that Discord is? Interesting.
Came here to say Magento is NOT now called "Adobe Commerce". Magento Commerce is now called Adobe Commerce. "Magento Community" is now called Magento. That's all. That's the comment.
So ACE is Gherkin for contracts?
Also if you don't live in the US. I've had several of these emails because of the same reason (I wasn't familiar with trademark law back then). It's pointless in fighting it, they have the law on their side.
Re:Ask HN: Do you know other firms like Valve or GitHub? on Wednesday November 26, 2014 @10:52AM (#8662842)
They have a flat management style, see http://www.voys.nl/over-voys/het-voys-model (it's Dutch but, you know, Google Translate)

Here in the Netherlands we've got Voys (http://www.voys.nl), they were on HN a while back too; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8420802
Still moot, my mail app has a search box as well.
The point you make about not having to scroll endlessly through your inbox to find 'that link' is moot when using Point a lot, because you'll be endlessly scrolling through the Point app.

Also; what happens when the content changes and the quoted part is gone?

Would be interesting for for example QA teams when you include Dropbox integration with a screenshot option.

Re:We moved our company 795 miles and nobody noticed on Tuesday October 07, 2014 @09:08AM (#8420864)
I actually had a phone call with them and didn't notice. Thought they were leaving a day later.
Take a project that you've built using a framework you're already familiar with and replicate it with a new framework.

This way, you're focused on learning the framework and how something is achieved within that framework without bothering to think about architecture, features, etc.

This is how I learned Symfony (I came from Zend) and it served me well!

Re:Why we should give free money to everyone on Tuesday January 07, 2014 @08:01AM (#7017022)
I think those that are employed on very good wages have a decent set of brains, and thus they can see that this is a good idea and therefore will NOT oppose it.

Personally, being taxed close to 52% (in Holland), I don't have any issues with that either. Let's keep a close eye on the developments in Switzerland concerning basic income and take our lessons from that.
Re:Amsterdam's Startup Manifesto on Wednesday September 11, 2013 @08:03AM (#6366608)
You're talking about talking to the government, but you'd need a clear agenda if you want to partake in such an endeavor. So what will the main talking points be and do you have something clear and actionable in mind?
The municipality is thinking about placing sound proof covers over them. But until they do so, they are going to have a meeting about it. Oh god.. hooray for bureaucratic Dutch government. Let's talk about it instead of taking action.

Fun note; the guy on the bike is in favor of the porn sounds, since art is meant for everyone, by everyone. Haha!

Might be, but in the HP article it says "without bail" and TS says he is out on bail?
Re:Ask HN: Am I underpaid? on Tuesday April 02, 2013 @04:58AM (#5478316)
Quit whining and get to work. You are grossly overpaid. I live in the Netherlands and that job and your skill set would get you around 45.000 USD a year. And we pay roughly 50% taxes over that, netting you at 22.500 USD a year. So, get to work.
