WoTC says it sold out, there's no actual proof of that (in fact, some insiders are saying that it was taken off the market due to the bad publicity)

Having The Rule be optional is not useless, it’s there so it can at least act as food for thought. I also find it highly amusing compared to the typical progressive garbage.

I'd rather have a guaranteed benefit (that, ideally, carries over from year to year and is fully paid out when I leave the company) than the gray area that you're describing which in practice is nothing more than the company being

Exactly, nobody is making new players with the quality of the old stalwarts (Sony, Aiwa, Sanyo), everything new on the market is Chinese garbage that's not fit to reproduce simple voice recordings, nevermind music. So one has to hunt d

I wouldn't call him lonely, he had constant visitors from all over the world and his followers ensured him that his philosophy would not die out. Moreover, the 'junkie' part is misleading in that it sounds a lot worse than it

I think that two fiascos that you've been a part of, kdbus [1][2] and UMN [3], have conditioned some people to view you in a certain light. [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/649111/ [2] https://lkml.iu.

Python has nothing to do with Forth, they couldn't be more opposite to each other if they tried. I recall Chuck Moore in a Silicon Valley Forth Interest Group meeting express his disappointment at how modern programming languages (and

If you've had mystical experiences and trying to make sense of them, PKD's Exegesis is required reading. If you haven't had any experiences of this sort, then it'll probably come across as disconnected ramblings indicati

This is crying to be rewritten in a faster language. Python is too inefficient for a lot of production mitm use cases.

In every way that matters to the world: Besides Meta, their core business is not ad-peddling. I spent close to a decade at Google, the dysfunction that was already present back then (~10 years ago) is now magnified to excess, end result bei

If the metaverse gamble works out (and I don't think it will), he'll be called the greatest visionary since Edison. I despise FB and everything it stands for, but I quite like Zuck gambling big on VR.

Apple is certainly at the top. Hell, even Meta/Amazon/Microsoft are more innovative than Google.

by armitron 4y ago
I agree, I don't see FB surviving past 5 years. On the other hand, you gotta give props to Zuck for throwing serious money at cutting edge VR research, shareholders be damned. FB will sink but VR will move forward. One can only hope th

I appreciate the time you took in crafting this response, I will listen to the conversation that you linked. Regarding GTK, I could never stomach the specific "feel" that it has, and it's also been incredibly buggy for me on

I've looked at Ardour in the past but GTK put me off from investing serious time into it. Now that there is REAPER, I have to ask, what does Ardour do better and why would one pick Ardour over REAPER?

I worked for a few years in fintech (NYC) after I left SF (more than a decade working at FAANGs). I'd say your experience as a full stack software developer is basically irrelevant. At the end of the day, for a typical non-leadership e

Is Switzerland riddled with violent gangs? Is it bordered by failed narco-controlled states that continuously smuggle people and drugs into the country? Does it have big chunks of the population living in inner city crime-infested ghettos?

I was going to play with this until I saw node.js required for build which means I am not going to bother. Use the right tool for the job, if there exists a job for node.js it certainly isn’t building C projects.

The question that I'm answering is "Best book to learn C in 2022?". K&R written as you say in the 1980s (the first edition in the 70s) is not that book, there is far better written material out there: One can get a solid

There is no transition to renewables in a 20 year or less horizon. Europe will be wrecked economically and industrially if there is no negotiated end to this war, anything else is wishful thinking.
