At least a very common .NET web app framework is often deployed on linux. Powershell for linux might be more apt lol

Out of curiosity, could you point to a tech blog or something else going over clearsurgery's stack? That's really interesting

It is elaborated on in the first linked article in this one, under the section "Research Integrity Offices (Part 1)".

But it's not a quote in the input text, so it's very funny that the output introduces quotes around it like they were scare quotes.

If you don't think this would happen even in an 'idyllic' scandi country or wherever, you're mistaken.

That is naive. 'they need a real government that protects people's rights' and this government will magically materialize out of thin air and institute an island paradise, right? You can't even meaningfully discuss a real 'military' in Haiti, it is a failed state with minimal control of even their capital city.

Sure, next we should implement global communism and live in peace and harmony forever! That is most definitely feasible

Exactly, I can't believe the braindead takes being spouted on this thread. Is HN really filled with people that can't think critically the second they leave their terminal?

How is revoking pro bono work you volunteered 'wild'? Should offering services lock you into indentured servitude?

How would it be illegal if it was, for example, explicitly listed as an option in the contract?

How is HFT a middle man? We're not talking about things like market makers in this discussion

Would you mind commenting on how it's been going so far? My last consultancy never bought in on .NET web frontend and I haven't had the chance to try it out on a side project, your team liking it so far?

I totally agree with you, but it's pretty obvious why this behaviour exists. At the end of the day, a cell phone is as much a status symbol, something akin to the clothes you wear, as much as it is an actual phone. Would you potentially lower your opinion of someone wearing a strange piece of clothing? The principle is exactly the same.

Looks like the EU finds pricing a non-physical product on a country-by-country basis to be price discrimination against EU nationals:

"When you buy goods online in the EU, prices may vary from country to country or across different versions of the same website, for example due to differences in delivery costs. However, if you buy goods online without cross-border delivery – such as when you buy something online which you intend to collect from a trader or shop yourself – you should have access to the same prices and special offers as buyers living in that EU country."

I mean, adding some shotgun changes to a messy codebase is always significantly easier than refactoring the whole.

Look man, nations don't have any obligations to the citizens of other countries. Why would any other country want to take in another uneducated and poor individual?

As a dev that hasn't touched Ruby in his time yet, could you expand on the productivity differences you've seen between Java/C# and ruby devs? I totally buy that a language like ruby can be more productive, but a 3x difference is wild. Have you found that RoR is really just that much more productive than say, Spring or Asp.NET?
