By "the world" I think you mean a specific subset of people: investors/execs/the business side. I don't particularly believe that average end users or competent engineers feel that way...

I am not one of those people you describe who is qualified to speak on the talent side of things (although I suspect the hypothetical 10x rocket engineer who would prevent this does not exist). The real answer is quite clear and well docume

I see your point, and I don't use GH when I can avoid it, but those are very different in my mind. GH, for all its flaws, is a value-added hosting service on top of git. It interoperates freely with any other Git host and you can clone

This is contrary to the universally understood meaning of E2EE (as in, end to end between the two participants in the conversation). I'm not one to blindly take Facebook's PR statements at face value, but if you're making the

It's still not entirely clear whether this means sites the user has not visited previously/frequently, or sites that users do not visit as frequently based on global traffic data. If the latter, it seems like a clear attempt to sl

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that (at least from a contract law perspective) you could interpret that as "purchasing" a revocable license to play the game. It's still misleading in the sense of common English, bu

Exactly the same experience - coming from school where it's almost all PhD students and postdocs (a few years older than me) the industry where some of my most valuable teammates are the greybeards, it was a bit of a shock - but now I

You clearly know that snatching up the trademark for a beloved name and reusing it for a crypto project is going to be unpopular, given you took the time to make a throwaway account. So then why did you brag about your trademark, registered

I find it very interesting that they're using Debian Testing as essentially a rolling-release distro. I did this in the past for a few years, and stopped (switched to Fedora), but I am pleased to see there is at least one other group o

This is one of those situations that make it incredibly clear that even Google, with all its resources, never considers the use case or life experience of anyone besides a wealthy Bay Area tech worker when designing their products. I can&#x

I was so baffled by reading this opening paragraph that I assumed the entire post was meant to be read as a tongue-in-cheek or "edgy" theory, not a serious discourse on the books. Was I wrong??

I don't think an H series i7 would be considered midrange (it has a 45W TDP, and will only really be seen in workstation/gaming laptops). The Qualcomm processor is not terribly impressive, but being on par with a 45W i7 is still v

I have no idea why you'd willingly use a Surface with Linux (let alone call it a solid Linux tablet) given all these problems, but I have a Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 (available for under $300 as off-lease refurb depending on specs) whi

I can't imagine a scenario in which any lawyer would consider granting Github the right to "analyze" code anywhere close to granting Github the right to spit out that same code verbatim without your copyright notice (even if

This is not quite correct... For motion picture film, yes, anything older than the 70mm film you're talking about tends to be low-resolution because of the physical constraints of moving a foot or more of film through a camera each sec
