teebot | 3 years ago | on: Heavier cars are safer for their drivers, but far deadlier for everyone else
Brussels has implemented a 30km/h default speed limit and it works. Our car journeys don’t take more time and it feels way safer to ride our bikes on mixed bike/car lanes
teebot | 3 years ago | on: Fresh 1.1 – Automatic JSX, plugins, DevTools, and more
I really want to try fresh together with edgedb. Any chance a builtin authentication will be added soon? Or is there a recipe to implement something like auth0?

You could not be further from the truth. Carbon emissions per capita is way higher in the US and in Europe than in China and India.

I've done exactly the same move 9 months ago. Nokia 3310 and carry an ipad+data if I'm on the move for a few days.
My car has a builtin GPS. Navigation has been an issue only once when joining a friend to a restaurant on foot, believe it or not I asked my way around and found the place.

I actually really loved that. This is someone who doesn't take himself too seriously but treats the subject with rigor. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Showpad is one of the fastest growing SaaS company in Europe. It's located in the really nice city of Gent in Belgium. Great culture, people and top tech. https://www.showpad.com/careers
I might be slightly biased but you should consider it :)
teebot | 8 years ago | on: End of the conference era?
I feel that I get much more connections and information out of small local meetups than big conferences.
In a small local meetup I'll occasionally pop my laptop open and start geeking out on some new tech with another attendee.
Big conferences feel too corporate and impersonal to me.
The ticket price of the biggest conferences is reaching absurd levels too.
teebot | 8 years ago | on: TypeScript 2.4 RC
The await import to lazy load modules is quite impressive. TypeScript goes more and more beyond the compile-to-js promise
teebot | 9 years ago | on: All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware
I don't know if any amount of data collection and model refinement will allow self driving in ALL situations. We always see self driving demos in California on very large roads, I'd like to see one in a small crowded street of Napoli or on a crossroad in Ho-Chi Minh.

If it's a mystery to solve it makes sense not too include too many details :)
You should just clone the repo. The zip option is always present on github repos.

I'm afraid google will kill firebase too. I built some sort of mvp with firebase and I intend to port it to express/postgres.
teebot | 10 years ago | on: Project Rider – A C# IDE
I can definitely relate to your experience. I've been a C# developer on VS/Windows then moved to Xamarin/iOS dev on a Mac and it was ok but not terrific.
teebot | 10 years ago | on: Firefox for iOS now available
When you think that Microsoft was accused of abusing its monopoly when they shipped IE with Windows. You cannot even install another true browser on iOS, just some sort of chrome around safari/Webkit.
teebot | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN : What side project are you working on?
Working on Recurvoice, a recurring invoicing system for freelancers: https://www.recurvoice.com
teebot | 10 years ago | on: The euro is a disaster even for the countries that do everything right
I think you came to the right conclusion. We need more Europe now (and a more democratic / less bureaucratic one).

I'm asian and it showed me up as 26 (I'm 9 yrs older)
teebot | 10 years ago | on: The Electric Car
I agree it's not a good comparison. The network on which smartphones plugged in predated them which is not true for the electrics cars and charging stations.
"Electric cars are always full every morning" is only true for people owning a garage.

teebot | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you deal with professional jealousy and getting older?
Good piece of wisdom. I somewhat have the same opinion but could not put it into words.

Most of the noise comes from the tire friction and aerodynamics.
