egor598··on Alexei Leonov, the first human to walk in space, has died
Sorry, but I am going to call this a pile of BS. Do you really have any proof of this? I am really surprised that you are upvoted on this, considering that on HN everyone requires proof of some sort (most of the time). One of his latest interviews was with EuroNews in 2017 (https://youtu.be/2qEM6Unzsm4), and he sounded very impressive for his age, in comparison with what you are trying to convey. And I am sure (judging from his multiple interviews), he could keep track of his time much better than you are anyways. P.S @kingkawn - do you have any interviews/profiles with any major news companies to prove your creds for verification to substantiate your claims?

Hooray! Let's release another batch of cryptocurrencies and start mining the shit out of those!
egor598··on Things I have learnt as the software engineering lead of a multinational
The way I understood this: "If you are overworked, first look at your team, is everyone at their place and pulling their weight, evaluate your deadlines and promises, check your planning and management and your relationship with stakeholders. Because most of the times it's one of those things that's broken and probably affects the rest".

>>Construction work is not a good metaphor for software/product development. Factory work neither.

I like this, really fed up with everyone comparing software development with construction work and/or building a house. Don't compare those, apples to oranges. Sure, borrow the best, most appropriate things, techniques, methodologies, approaches and not just from construction. Just don't compare.

egor598··on The Western Elite from a Chinese Perspective
He doesn't say his parents were poor or blue-collar workers, he compares himself to a child of aristocrat. Context is everything.

> He was a child of aristocrats; I am the child of modest workers.

When a one-digit millionaire compares himself to a billionaire like Bill Gates, using "modest" to describe one's wealth would be appropriate in this context.

egor598··on TIO: Try it online
This works for me in TIO:

public class App { public static void Main(string[] args) { System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); } }

egor598··on Microsoft takes .NET open source and cross-platform
As far as I understood, they are really slimming down the core .NET CLR (runtime). Most of current BCL .NET libraries will be exposed as separate nuget packages, which makes it really convenient.
egor598··on What Did Not Happen At Mt. Gox
How about all the passport + proof of address data, required for registering with Mt.Gox. Where is it stored and has it been stolen / taken by third party? No one seems to ask any questions about this.
