Vektorweg··on How a German Soda Became Hackers' Fuel of Choice
Or tea. Probably the hackers second choice.
Vektorweg··on MariaDB 10
Seems like a tendency to name software after female names from the victorian era. Interesting.
Vektorweg··on Show HN: JS library to make your website instant
Or just load every page. ;)
Vektorweg··on Amusing ourselves to death
Orwell is right. Humans can learn to "survive" in a free information age, but can't live freely in a observed environment.
Vektorweg··on The Innovator's Dilemma: How Money Ruins Creativity
In our world money describes your amount of freedom. No money, no freedom. A bad world.
Vektorweg··on When You Criticize Someone, You Make It Harder for that Person to Change
It changes a person, but in a wrong direction, i think.
Vektorweg··on 5 predictions on the future of databases (from a guy who knows databases)
One size could fit everything. With a good flexible query language and an sufficiently smart compiler, it might be possible. Which means: one size, one winner and SQL isn't flexible enough. SQL will fall down to earth.
Vektorweg··on CSS animated loading indicators
Now we have brand new CSS and we do a subset of the cool things, we could do in SVG since ten years. I'm a bit confused.

Oh and it doesn't work in Opera 12 .

Vektorweg··on 404 - File not found
I've read this text some years ago. Still funny.
Vektorweg··on TCP HTTP Server written in Assembly
I'm really happy that executable size doesn't matter for server software. Because Yesod produce really big execs.
Vektorweg··on Prolog for Programmers
I try to write a little database system in Haskell, inspired by Prolog, because it seems very natural and simple to query Prolog. If you have lots of different relations between data, Prolog is a good choice.
Vektorweg··on ☃
... and in Haskell too. The funny thing is, that i first read Snoyman instead of Snowman.
Vektorweg··on The War on the War on Death Begins
As long as humans are so forgetful, people will experience forever, which is a good reason to live forever.
Vektorweg··on Amazon unveils futuristic plan: Delivery by drone
Actually, i think, a drone could carry a human. Like a taxi.
Vektorweg··on Paul Walker (of Fast and Furious) is Dead
Absolute. Someone mentions his name today and Wikipedia was the place where i got this news.
Vektorweg··on Is learning C# as a first language a mistake?
I started with C++ 6 years ago. 3 years ago, my religious view on C++ ended and i finally realized, that C++ is not enough. I saw Java, Lisp, Prolog, C# and others but got stuck in Haskell, because Haskell is the way, i want to write programs.

Independent to a language, i recommend to start without a IDE. C# and Visual Studio is in this case a bad combination.

Vektorweg··on Bot or Not: Hacker News
And now we need bot-generated articles, probably with real informations!

7/10 . Thats difficult!

I miss Wikibooks and Wikiversity.
Vektorweg··on TinyPNG launches API to automate PNG compression
Nice idea. But maybe you should do this with webp.
Vektorweg··on Ask HN: What kind of side projects are you working on?
Actually, i work on curve-based rasterization, to build a game later on it.
Vektorweg··on Poll: How many hours a day are you looking at a screen?
This looks funny, because there are too many options. Most chosen numbers are even in higher range.
Vektorweg··on Write (More) Effortlessly With Markdown
Uh. I write every document in Pandoc Markdown.
Vektorweg··on Is the universe fundamentally deterministic?
i think: if the even smaller components starts to cycle, its deterministic.
Vektorweg··on How the death of BitTorrent helped take the edge off broadband growth
The pirate bay seems to run better than ever. Massive sharing via torrent is really fast nowadays.
Vektorweg··on Stephen Wolfram: Something Very Big Is Coming
Prolog 2.0 , big database included!
Vektorweg··on Web Framework Benchmarks Round 7
Well, if every language would have a sufficiently smart compiler, the world would be fine.
Vektorweg··on Poll: Do you use antivirus software?
So, installing a backdoor / keylogger in user level isn't that bad? why?
Vektorweg··on This is a valid ipv4 address
It works fine in my Opera 12.16 for Linux (amd64).
