White text on black background is hard to read, at least for me as I get a halo effect around text edges due to my astigmatism. However, that is an extreme colour scheme. A more balanced colour scheme like monokai is much better and gives b

I don’t really see the application for bare metal Go. If you’re creating a bare metal application you’re most likely doing it in order to achieve real time computation, something which a garbage collected language can’t offer.

Unless those assets are being taxed then I can’t see what the negative impact on the UK is.

If you make security too onerous then people will just bypass it so they can do their jobs. We all know of people who write out passwords on postit notes as the password requirements make passwords impossible to remember. I also think power

Have any C developers jumped ship to Rust? I can see C++ developers migrating as the philosophy of C++ seems to be more aligned with Rust than C (C solves problems by forcing you to write more C, C++ solves problems by adding more language

Yeah, try Googling Swiss Nazi gold before advocating Swiss governance as a model to uphold.

Excellent comment, I was wondering how glibc handled backwards compatibility. Is symbol versioning an ELF object file thing, or is it more universal than that?

If you don't know what's so bad about it, you shouldn't be developing software. If you know what is so objectionable about it, but are acting unawares, you most definitely should stay the fuck away from software development.

I'm not against status updates, it's the tracking and clocking in and out like a 1920's factory worker inside my own home that I find objectionable. Even in an office proper, this kind of tracking is a fundamental breach of t

This just looks like a way for employers to track employees with no benefit to said employees. No one needs to know when I’m on a break at home / taking a shit.

Companies tend to internally budget using hourly rates and time cards, so I can’t see how charging an hourly rate like most consultancies and professions, such as law, would not sit well with client companies. Also, charging a fixed price m

I get why a licence is required to receive software updates as software is being distributed to you outside of the original sale of the device, and I get that Apple can sue Corellium as they are making unlicensed copies of iOS. You have poi

Isn’t French law based on civil law so the decisions of courts are non-binding / do not carry precedent? Source, Wikipedia. I also find it odd that the French don’t distinguish between a contract and a licence, as in UK-US law a licenc

Why did Twitter end up killing Vine? Seems like a bad decision now since TikTok is pretty much a direct replacement. I thought Vine was quite popular back in the day.

Obviously becoming a senior engineer shouldn’t be based on tenure alone. In my experience, 6-8 years is roughly how long it takes to acquire enough skills, both technical, people, business, and safety in order to become responsible for a pi

It seems millennial achievement medals have now become job titles. Two years to become a senior engineer out of college is a joke. You only just know how to work in a general sense in that time frame, domain expertise comes much later. Afte
