One difference that stands out to me about Microsoft vs Google. Both are very heavy C++ shops. Both have invested in developing tools for enhancing developer productivity on their respective platforms (Windows and Linux). Yes, Linux is not

Yeah, figuring out a good donation model where people can pay for the free software they use, and corporations can pay from their budget for a reason other than "just out of the goodness of our heart" is one of the biggest problem

AppImage would be even worse, as it's a fairly new technology and not all that well integrated. I am an ArchLinux user and generally it's easiest if the software comes as a tar.gz with installation instructions and list of depende

The engineers from Amazon, Google and Microsoft should get together and make sure they're all using different metrics for success, so they can all be first at the same time. Or work out a schedule for who will be first which year.

I don't understand what "accept" is meant to mean here. If we accept that everything sucks, the only thing left to do is leave the field, since it will always suck no matter what we do. If we try to make it better, then we&#x

That depends on whether we consider A and D the same answer or not. If we can assume that A does not imply D and vice-versa, then we can pick either A or D and be correct (but not both) - in essence our picking either answer collapses the q

The product of two iterables is a list of pairs of each item in the first iterable and each item in the second iterable (same as set product in math): [a, b] × [c, d] = [(a, b), (a, c), (b, c), (b, d)] The number of elements of the product
