Despite vehement protestations on both sides, the population overlap is more than substantial. There's clearly even some overlap with HN.

Unless the all-hands involves an open bar you can stick it up your bum. There is nothing there you can't fit in an email without wasting an afternoon for the whole company... and hiring a venue, organising transport, recording & st

You poor soul, I hope you have a power button. I eventually bought a power brick with a built-in switch.

I can see why it sounds fun. 40 pages later of dense schematics that you're desperately trying to match to what you have on your desk you'd realise it's 90% frustration and 10% headache. It's like navigating a city with

Why doesn't real embedded development work this way?! This is awesome and I want it to be real. This is the distilled greatest moments of embedded development because in reality I spent today ~2 hours doing a code merge, ~2 hours of wo

Ah, it's a pretty awesome game - the right amount of complexity and fun. If it was open source it could continue forever like OpenTTD. Then maybe career mode could be completed. Honestly, this is one of the very few games I've enj

You are lying. Multi crew is not in beta and will not be shipping any time soon, not in the next update and certainly not this year. New Horizons was meant to be released in parts, first of which was meant to be released in Q1, was released

When did multicrew happen? The game is on life support as the company is working on other projects. They keep missing all the deadlines.

A lot of people claim they got a refund after more than 2 hours but it's a case by case thing so I think as the stream of people asking for refunds hit a critical point they stopped and even put a reminder on the store page saying they

People laughed when onlive said they could do it. And then onlive went bankrupt. As you admit yourself you can't do anything about network lag and reliability. Even if you get down to 0ms video enc-dec this will be not viable for any g

People can't see your sarcasm on the Internet. For those who are not following the self-mugging service that is kickstarter it's one of those projects that promises the moon and doesn't even deliver the photo of it. It's

When you put it like that, you're right. Humans are awesome.

Don't see why. It's a single player game with none of the meta of quake duels.

That is so spot on you must've grown up somewhere in the eastern block. This is not some magical positive force keeping society together that we should aspire to emulate - it's a coping mechanism to deal with the horrendous ineffi

Dunno about normal companies but for corporations it's very simple: they can pay for RHEL. And don't give me that story about paid support. Corporations will not use any external support - they have their own IT dept and they will

Say you buy a some platform to develop on. This will normally come with a toolchain and some libraries. The library was developed on LTS. Now you try and compile that and it doesn't compile. Woe is you. You can't just ask the sell

I'm sorry to say you're in a minority. At least for the past 5 years commercial libraries assume you are running RHEL (usually one major release behind) or Ubuntu (LTS). It used to be Debian before that. If you're not you are

1/25 suitable after only 3 questions. I think the selection might be flawed. Anyway, any reasoning that divides distros between easy to use and hard to use is nonsense. Just because I'm used to Linux doesn't mean Ubuntu isn&#

I'm convinced there isn't a way to even increase your chances, let alone guarantee satisfaction. According to a spreadsheet for 4 years my average star rating hasn't changed (~3.5) and at different times I tried different str

I'm amazed literary critique is a job. Definitely Ark B material. This book fetishism always rubs me the wrong way. A book is a conveyer of thought. Like a conversation, phone, film, comic, game, diagram, chart. As much as I appreciate

Most of the world population doesn't have the kind of opportunities you do. You are probably at the top 5% of the 7 billion population. Chances are you can choose between a 100k job and a 120k job that you find unsavory and maybe you c

The argument isn't about soul-sucking jobs, but about jobs that don't contribute to society. I'm sure there are people out there who enjoy cold-calling and scamming people. But to address your argument: you missed the "o

That strategy is similar to our current best strategy for bringing peace by killing more people than the enemy. It's proven to work but it is very wasteful on both sides.

Let me make my point in a less obtuse way. Most people make decisions about their careers based on opportunity and maximising profit. No one becomes a footballer to make the world a better place. This would all be fine as long as the capita

It's a shame they didn't go all the way. The art will be low resolution but it will not limit itself and will use unlimited colours, transparency and high fidelity lighting effects. I hope they will at least avoid the grevious but

Why not price items accurately rather than relying on the deception of cheap food and expensive drinks? Wouldn't that make every item profitable? Reminds me of how UK banks have no charges and just hope you make a mistake so they can e
