peterjaap | 1 year ago | on: Revolt: Open-Source Alternative to Discord
So you have the chance to redesign Discord and you decide to stick with the unicorn-puking emoji-littered eye-scorching UX/UI garbage that Discord is? Interesting.
peterjaap | 3 years ago | on: The next step in ecommerce – replatform with APIs and micro front ends
Came here to say Magento is NOT now called "Adobe Commerce". Magento Commerce is now called Adobe Commerce. "Magento Community" is now called Magento. That's all. That's the comment.

So ACE is Gherkin for contracts?

Also if you don't live in the US. I've had several of these emails because of the same reason (I wasn't familiar with trademark law back then). It's pointless in fighting it, they have the law on their side.
peterjaap | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you know other firms like Valve or GitHub?
They have a flat management style, see http://www.voys.nl/over-voys/het-voys-model (it's Dutch but, you know, Google Translate)

Here in the Netherlands we've got Voys (http://www.voys.nl), they were on HN a while back too; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8420802

Still moot, my mail app has a search box as well.
peterjaap | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Point – a Chrome plugin for private sharing and discussion on any website
The point you make about not having to scroll endlessly through your inbox to find 'that link' is moot when using Point a lot, because you'll be endlessly scrolling through the Point app.
Also; what happens when the content changes and the quoted part is gone?
Would be interesting for for example QA teams when you include Dropbox integration with a screenshot option.

I actually had a phone call with them and didn't notice. Thought they were leaving a day later.
peterjaap | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: As an experienced dev, how do you learn a language/framework quickly?
Take a project that you've built using a framework you're already familiar with and replicate it with a new framework.
This way, you're focused on learning the framework and how something is achieved within that framework without bothering to think about architecture, features, etc.
This is how I learned Symfony (I came from Zend) and it served me well!
peterjaap | 12 years ago | on: Why we should give free money to everyone
I think those that are employed on very good wages have a decent set of brains, and thus they can see that this is a good idea and therefore will NOT oppose it.
peterjaap | 12 years ago | on: Why we should give free money to everyone
Personally, being taxed close to 52% (in Holland), I don't have any issues with that either. Let's keep a close eye on the developments in Switzerland concerning basic income and take our lessons from that.
peterjaap | 12 years ago | on: Amsterdam's Startup Manifesto
You're talking about talking to the government, but you'd need a clear agenda if you want to partake in such an endeavor. So what will the main talking points be and do you have something clear and actionable in mind?
peterjaap | 12 years ago | on: Dutch Hackers found a way to alter a quiet area in Netherlands
The municipality is thinking about placing sound proof covers over them. But until they do so, they are going to have a meeting about it. Oh god.. hooray for bureaucratic Dutch government. Let's talk about it instead of taking action.
Fun note; the guy on the bike is in favor of the porn sounds, since art is meant for everyone, by everyone. Haha!

Hasn't Veridian Dynamics done this before?

Might be, but in the HP article it says "without bail" and TS says he is out on bail?
peterjaap | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Am I underpaid?
Quit whining and get to work. You are grossly overpaid. I live in the Netherlands and that job and your skill set would get you around 45.000 USD a year. And we pay roughly 50% taxes over that, netting you at 22.500 USD a year. So, get to work.
