deninho | 1 year ago | on: Greece introduces the six day work week

The country is basically a huge cartel. The business owners have colluded to fix prices, wages, supply. In every industry or business sector. It's just effed up. Whoever has normal goals, like having a family that they can support and give them a quality of live and not just make meets end, is trying to find job in another country.

I'll give it a try, though I don't really like manga for entertainment, so I guess it will be a bit difficult to keep me focused for studying :p Thanks a lot

deninho | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: What book are you reading this Summer?

"The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus. I've been meaning to read it since I read "The Stranger" by the same author, which is my all-time favourite book.

If I finish it early, I'll read "The Universe in a nutshell" by Stephen Hawking

deninho | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you organise your hard drive?

I organize my projects inside my Documents folder. Specifically, my main folders are:

~Documents/MSc ~Documents/Projects ~Documents/Documents

the MSc folder goes like that:

~MSc/A/class ----> letter (A, B, or C) is the semester, and then the class (simplified of course)

inside each class the structure is:

~class1/class_material ----> where is the documents (pdfs, slides etc) provided by the instructor and scanned notes if any ~class1/Project(s) ----> where are the projects for the class.

Each project has 2-3 subfolders: ~Project1/src ----> source code (different approaches for the same project go in here in seperate folders) ~Project1/documents ----> reports, presentations etc, and a txt with refereneces to papers, books and websites used. ~Project1/Results ----> if i have to do tests comparing approaches, models etc I keep my results in here In the root folder of each project I keep the project requirments

My /Projects folder has the same approach

My Documents folder, for now is divided in two folders: ebooks and papers, and inside those folders are just bunch of files (with proper filenames, though, so searching is working) --- My Photos folder goes like that:

~Photos/year/month/event

each "event" folder has the raw files and an "exported" folder where the processed photos are. If I do panoramas, there is also an extra folder, called "panoramas": ~event/exported ~event/panoramas --- my Downloads folder is just a temp folder, so there is no need to waste time there. --- My Desktop is always empty (and icons hidden)

EU was not defrauded, since they admitted they knew how the books where altered.

On the other hand, do you know who didn't know nothing about it? Greek people, particularly young people who are now in their 20s and 30s, and can't find a job to live as proper human beings (>30% youth unemployment). Yet, you look like you enjoy this. I, just, wish you will never face something like that in your future.

Unfortunately, in remote greek villages, there is nothing to attract you. Old houses in bad condition, no infrastructure (no fast and kinda reliable internet connection, some don't even have 3G or 4G signal), nothing for entertainment other than the traditional coffee shop, almost no young people to socialize with, and most important, there is no willing from the government, local or centralized, to help improve living conditions there.

They are beautiful for a trip, but not to live forever.

As a matter of fact, Greece is not attractive for a young person to live and work here.

deninho | 7 years ago | on: Macedonia changes name, ending bitter dispute with Greece

well, as an Albanian neighbor of mine says: "We, Balkan people, see flags and react like morons". It describes Balkan people to the point.

PS As a greek citizen, i couldnt care less about the name of our neighbors, as long as we live together in peace (and we do live in peace with them)
