kayoone··on Gardens with a 12,000-person waiting list
even with only 10% of that list, it would still be a long wait.
kayoone··on Gardens with a 12,000-person waiting list
bourgeois is probably the right translation

If you haven't tried it, Google translate does a really good job with translating german law texts.
kayoone··on MacBook Pro Keyboard Drives Me Crazy
You should still get it fixed because the newer ones are at least a bit improved. I have a 2016 which has been heavily used for 2 years and a 2017 from work and both keyboards still work fine. So it's not that every keyboard breaks, but I have seen cases in my company as well, but we have hundreds of them here.
kayoone··on Sunsetting Hire
but most lack the financial stability of google and could disappear rather quickly because of that.
kayoone··on Sunsetting Hire
Well to that extent, most other SaaS products which are affordable for SMBs are not a safe investment either, it's not that non-google companies/startup never shut down. Actually most SaaS startups fail.

the EU guidelines says <= 250 employees, Germany's KMU is defined as <= 500 employees
kayoone··on Sunsetting Hire
not sure why you are getting downvoted, the EU guideline recommends to define SMBs as <= 250 people and the German equivalent KMU is defined as <= 500 people
kayoone··on Nigerian Teens Are Making Sci-Fi Shorts with Slick Visual Effects
Africas tech talent is on the rise, it's quite interesting to see as even 10 years ago it was still hard for them to get access to cheap computers and internet.
kayoone··on Media Can’t Stop Presenting Horrifying Stories as ‘Uplifting’ Perseverance Porn
It might not be sunshine and rainbows, but when i read about Americans taking an Uber to the hospital because they can't or don't want to afford an ambulance i can only shake my head in disbelief.
kayoone··on Berlin’s Popular Shopping Streets Will Go Car-Free
My partner drives to work by car from Fhain to Reinickendorf because the PT connection is not great and it takes more time. So that totally makes sense. For me commuting to work into Mitte is 20 minutes with PT with one change at Alexanderplatz, which is super easy. So it depends i guess.
kayoone··on Berlin’s Popular Shopping Streets Will Go Car-Free
Slow, yes. That's a main gripe i also have mostly because the routes are bad. But crowded? Have you been in the Paris or London metros at peak times? If anything it's worse if we are talking only about crowdedness. Even in places like Tokyo, known for their perfect schedules and reliable PT, the amount of people stuffed into a single train is on another level.
kayoone··on Berlin’s Popular Shopping Streets Will Go Car-Free
I know a lot of expats living in Berlin who are all impressed by the public transport. Granted, they are mostly not from Europe and I personally also prefer to take the bike whenever I can, but it's far from "notoriously bad".
kayoone··on AMD Rome Second Generation EPYC Review: 2x 64-core Benchmarked
Thats a 10% gain which might help you in some games to stay above the 144Hz or even 200Hz refresh rate of your monitor. Does not matter for most of us, but some hardcore esports gamers might care. I guess that's a very small minority though.
kayoone··on Uber and Lyft Investors Are Looking for Signs of a Détente
okay, but 5Bn seems a bit excessive
kayoone··on Dark Matter Developers: The Unseen 99% (2012)
Nobody was implying that the "Dark matter" devs do not get stuff done or don't have the skills, you missed the argument of the article.
kayoone··on AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is such a hit it almost outsold Intel’s entire CPU range
either way, it's good for the market that people choose AMD over Intel.
kayoone··on Unity, now valued at $6B, raising up to $525M
that is only a testament to its usability, like any good framework.
kayoone··on Winnti: Hackers attacking the heart of German industry
Its just from my personal experience, but i know a lot of people in the 70k+ range at different companies, all senior though. We also interview a lot and a considerable amount of candidates that get offered high sixties go somewhere else where they got a better offer.
kayoone··on Winnti: Hackers attacking the heart of German industry
come to Berlin, nothing of what you say applies there imo. Salaries might be substantially lower than in SV, but it's also far far cheaper. Eg. as a Senior 70-90k EUR is realistic in Berlin (without management), allowing you a very good quality of live in a city that is nowhere near SV/London in terms of rent and many other expenses.
kayoone··on Winnti: Hackers attacking the heart of German industry
This. Salaries of 70-90k EUR for Senior devs in Berlin are absolutely achievable and combined with the quite low cost of living in Berlin you probably have more fun money than anywhere in Europe as a developer.
kayoone··on Ask HN: Are Lucene/Solr/ES Still Used for Search?
you mean https://hn.algolia.com/? thats not made by the HN team though, wouldn't be surprised if the algolia guys built it to show their tech, which is a very smart idea anyway.
kayoone··on At what time of day do famous programmers work?
a merge to master should only be done after a review, eg. PR is accepted by X reviewers which most likely happens only during working hours. Not sure I understand your policy, people randomly committing/pushing to master without review is not a good idea at any time.
kayoone··on Amazon EventBridge: The biggest thing since AWS Lambda
it looks like it only replaces SNS no? As some of the examples are Lambdas and SQS queues that you can publish to. We have a small Go service that basically maps endpoints to SNS topics which then publishes events to SQS or Lambda or some other internal endpoint. Don't see how this is much different other than provided integrations with popular services out of the box.
kayoone··on Amazon EventBridge: The biggest thing since AWS Lambda
We have a very small Golang service that exposes some endpoints and basically just forwards incoming events to SNS which then publishes to subscribers like SQS/Lambda/whatever. This small service basically never fails as it's only dependency is SNS. I don't really see how this EventBridge is much more than that?
kayoone··on Another wave of nootropic supplements is hitting the market
i am not sure measuring blood levels constantly and interpreting them without real knowledge is a good thing for your mind. I think it's good we don't know about this all the time, if you do regular check up and get an OK back, that fine. Doing it constantly would just create anxieties for a lot of people.
kayoone··on How I encrypt my data in the cloud
i guess a main point for Boxcryptor is easy access through mobile apps, does your solution provide that?
kayoone··on Cloudflare Network Performance Issues
not sure what cloudflare costs but compared to the amount our business lost in those 30min, it probably does not matter much.
kayoone··on I Am Developing Solely on a No-Brand Android 5.1 Tablet
Didn't mean to be blunt, but I had no idea how the sections fit together and what you were trying to say. Clearly I am missing the context which others seem to have, since it's on the frontpage of HN.
kayoone··on Computer Science vs. Computing Science (1999)
In Europe it's usually called Informatics, even in some Universities in the UK i believe, but it's totally absent from US literature it seems.
