Spanish guy here. Raised 80/90s. Middle/High income background of a middle size city. Witnessed plenty of bullying back then. Didn't have that name at the time. Many cases could have ended very badly with a bit of bad luck...

Mmmmm, I don't know. Most of the bullying I remember from childhood was mostly of a boy already high in the social status, against one low in the ranks. The receiving guy was not a threat to the giving one.

It's not just founder and CEOs, though. Nobody believes he's the bad guy no matter the outcomes. It's a convenient cliche for movies but just that

A successfull private company, with the best video game catalog, already king in PC gaming... I don't see much for them to gain and plenty to lose if they let google build a big customer base.

I don't think they had the slightest chance of Valve partering with them

My own experience: I've seen a few new Telegram users. I don't think I've seen a single Whatsapp user leave.

Well, the Windows API is "unsafe" by design, is C-based, you pass pointers around, datatype sizes, etc... How can you avoid "unsafe" in this scenario? You're asking for a new framework or an API rewrite

Missing TortoiseGit in that list. Everytime I see someone struggling with Git I wonder why they don't take the easy way.

I don't usually do low-level apart from hobby projects. I've done some x86 assembly trying to patch an exe and such this and it seems hard enough.

But the current state of most Google apps is mostly right for most of the users. They don't need to play catch up very aggresively.

Same in Spain. Here we say "Pasos de cebra" and I can hardly figure out any other name.

MS has actually changed, but not in the old fashioned way most people seem to understand, from BAD to GOOD. Mostly, their business model has changed, and so their incentives about proprietary and free software, the second not being a thread

The Civvie review of the original Shadow Warrior is hilarious. Highly recommended.

Yeah, it's doable and congratulations for achieving. But anyway, he is right. For most parents is an uphill battle against tech and social media they're bound to lose due to mostly exhaustion.

I don't know if I have coronavirus, but my symptomps are similar to yours, without the night sweats and chills. I feel good for the most part, but in May I developed a difficulty breathing, and It's still there. Nothing major, but

Last time I tried (4 months ago) you still could create a local account while connected to the internet. They're making it more obscure, though

And I guess, as owning is so awful, the elites will follow the same lifestyle.

Perhaps, for an established company with a stable business and income going on, the CEO can afford being somewhat ignorant of the field they work for. But for an up and coming company, everybody in the top ranks should be involved and knowl

There's already PEP 640, targeted for 3.10, that seems will break C-API compatibility. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0620/#the-c-api-blocks-c... This seems like the first step towards such improvem

The "embrace extend extinguish" only makes sense when the company doing it has 1) The ability to extinguish 2) Or the business model of the embraced company is seen as a threat. It's funny when Microsoft launches WSL and &quo

Until you get used to audiobooks. All you have to do is stay in the right lane, at 100 km/h and enjoy. Anyway, it doesn't work for me while driving in a urban area; only in the highway.

Hypocrisy. Looks good to exibit tolerancy between like minded friends about accepted topics, abortion, sexual orientation, skin color and the like... But about a different political system other than western liberal democracy? No way! And i

Agreed! I guess people at MS test and quality departments use I7 with an SSD driver. If so, it's bad. If not it's simply hard to understand, if we leave corporate politics aside. To me, the calculator has always been more or less
