People still use rails? Wild.

AncoraImparoon It's weird that most of “Hacker” news is dominated by business news

Hackernews hasn't been hacker news since 2015, when it started being about the books bill gates is reading, or what Elon Musk had for breakfast. It's vanity fair for nerds.

AncoraImparoon Leaving Google

AncoraImparoon Can I get some reasons to use Java instead of Kotlin?

Yeah, Java works. You have to sneak up on Kotlin to make it do anything. Also, when you have questions, the java community is a lot better. The Kotlin community is made up of the same tweed jacket wearing losers that were doing rails back in the day.

Paywalled to death, can't get near the article.

AncoraImparoon Ask HN: How do you manage to go through so much of good content posted on HN?

There isn't really that much good content anymore... So it really is easy nowadays. A few years ago I used to constantly have to be saving stuff to read later... but now it is constantly just non-tech related crap, unfortunately.

If we faced this crisis again, what would be different?

AncoraImparoon How to Survive a Robot Apocalypse: Just Close the Door

I watched this happen the other day. Swat team arrived arrived at my friend's apartment complex in Austin. Turns out there was an armed meth dealer holed up next door. SWAT sent a robot in to scope the situation, find him, and then knew where in the apartment he was, so as to work out the safest entry point for the team. Was fascinating!

So... a reskinned version of HipChat, ok.

AncoraImparoon Ask HN: If you were to switch career, what would you do?

I would buy a coffee shop if I could!

AncoraImparoon Ask HN: Software Developers – Do you like your job?

Yep. Work hard for 5 more years, go back to my home country and open a café where I can meet people who are less predictable than the people I am surrounded by in tech. I am studying as much as I can in my free time on the topic of coffee, and my counterpart involved is doing the same regarding cuisine :)

AncoraImparoon Ask HN: Software Developers – Do you like your job?

How is this relatable to Technology?

Thanks for the input, will check them out today!

AncoraImparoon Linked lists in C, with open source ADT

Sorry for posting this, it appears that HN is not the place to post content if your only goal is to help people to learn. The hacker ethic is dead I guess, Richard Stallman really was the last man standing then. Remind me to come and post something when I decide to make some silly iPhone / android app when I want to make money rather than sharing knowledge.

Thanks.

AncoraImparoon Linked lists in C, with open source ADT

It really does depend on what you need to be doing in order to make the assumption of what data structure is needed. A vector is all well and good for certain tasks, but sometimes, a list is what you need. I will cover vectors too, but for now I am focused on C. not C++. Thanks though.
