qualsiasi | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why there is a rise in WiFi hotspot market?

In the city I'm living in (Italy) buildings are old (and with 2 ft stone walls, on average) so that mobile phones can only rely on wifi when you are indoors. I think this may apply to any old (like several centuries old) city. I don't know if cities of this kind are enough to make a statistically relevant case.

qualsiasi | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is broken with job hiring processes?

(Europe / Tech)

1. HR is not tech-savy and most of the time does look for distinguished engineers at the price of an intern

2. Salary is always on the low side, and salary range is almost never included in the job posting

3. Companies are not considering their employees an asset, but a liability

qualsiasi | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Relation between commits and issues

I'm not willing to enforce one commit per issue, but one issue per commit. An issue may have, of course, multiple commits (by multiple people maybe) but I wouldn't allow any single commit without referring an issue.

Italy. Factually it is like that, the law was meant to protect against unfair dismissal but over the years it has become quite clear that if you work all the time you're meant to, and you don't intentionally harm the company (or its business) you're very unlikely to be fired. And if you are, you can sue the company and AFAIK most of the times (I have no direct experience though) you are likely to win.

This law has been modified and partially canceled in 2014-2015, but people that has been hired before that date still benefits of this law.

EDIT: Look at third page (numbered 70), second column half way, to get a better explanation. https://preserve.lehigh.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http...

The company I work for has been acquired by the same equity firm as Idera. This happened recently (it's public news, so I'm not giving away any secret). What should I expect, given I have a responsibility role and in my country you can't easily fire an employee (in my case, I can be fired only if I misbehave severely or the company goes bankrupt)?

qualsiasi | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why did Java get so popular in enterprises?

I think Java EE is a driver for Java in enterprises today. Easy management, easy deploy and widespread knowledge. Almost any IT knows what to do if you give them an EAR/WAR.

Huge, enormous ecosystem - and plenty of developers ranging from super-junior to rockstar. It's somewhat enterprise-driven ie: it never breaks backwards compatibility
