When I was young I always enjoyed playing with Mindstorms. It was my first experience programming. For me it was amusing that I could build some robot with Lego and make it retrieve a ball from our living room.

Sadly jumping from the block oriented programming to "real" programming of the Hitachi H8 microcontroller was not very straight forward, so I kind of hit a wall in that regard. Maybe this collaboration will act as a better gateway to "real" programming.

I'm on the same boat.

I contacted Atlassian support via my personal email account and they informed me that somehow my subscription is tied to my personal account, but I need to use my former work email to login.

I can't do that, so I've lost access to all my personal boards and apparently to my Gold Subscription too.

Hi, I'm an electronics guy shifted a (little) bit to the software world. I consider myself a fast learner and I put that ability to use whenever and wherever I can. I'm willing to relocate worldwide and I'm ready for any adventure. I love designing and building stuff.

Previous job was at a startup designing and building an IoT product for rental and real state in Spain.

I'm willing to hear and discuss any offers.

I feel like this fails at the scope level. Of course excluding the program the computer is unable to understand Chinese. Just like a transistor alone is unable to perform a sum of two integers. Either you analyse the complete system or you are just drawing false parallels.

EDIT: Spelling

Of course. I wasn't talking about the population of HN, I mean it in a broader sense, people who know GNU/Linux is a thing but don't know or care enough to realise the differences.

I'm curious about what is there to celebrate in some huge corp using some free software in a completely cornered use that gives little to no freedom to its users.

I'm sorry if my points are not clear. As it has been evidenced english is not my first language.

I've always found this curious since Linux fans usually mention the high usage of Android as Linux usage. The people usually think of GNU/Linux when they think about using Linux but the truth is Android is far from that. Be it the lack of GNU utils, not using a mainline kernel or the myriad of blobs and proprietary stuff bolted on top.

I was a student member during my undergrad.

It was fun because they (or, more precisely we) organised a lot of events, even at national scale (I'm from Europe). I met a lot of different people from different parts of my country who were also studying EE or similar and had the same interests I did. A very wide network I now sometimes rely on because those people now work in very different places compared to the people who were in my class and now mostly work in the same city our university was.

However, I still remember a day someone asked for a paper and I was disappointed when I found out I had no access as a Student Member. Luckily I had access through the university library but it pissed me off.

No longer a member because it's not really useful in my field and I would have to pay it myself. Membership fee in Europe is around 80% of USA but my salary (I'm a junior) is around 30% of that of an average EE in the USA.

Does anyone know where I can get some info about Kotlin usage statistics since Android made it an officially supported language?
