Yeah, as a customer (still one) I remember their "Hey, we're going to build this Ceph thing, maybe it ends up being cool" blog entry (or newsletter?) kinda just sharing what they were toying with. It was a time of no marketin

Summary: coding interviews are terrible, the job will be all meetings, and the people running both of those are ignorant. It's your duty as a senior engineer to overcompensate for all of that. Pay will be the same wether you do it or n

A game that caught me completely off guard. It's superb in its execution and captures Lem's atmosphere perfectly.

Respectfully disagree. Meaningful answers from raw data is hard, but the hardest part was always making business people to _ask the right question_. Take as an example a typical business question: "which countries are our users from?&q

Definitely wrong. Or you're completely surrounded by psychopaths.

There's a couple paper plants, not sure if you'll call that "considerable". Software there is growing but mostly as consulting. Also b/c of the tax breaks companies are incorporated there, but people works elsewhere

A couple heavy industries (e.g. literally two paper plants) coupled with a largely unpopulated country (one major city and a handful few towns) makes the "per Capita" metric high. Not bashing them tough. They're wonderful peo

Offices today are merely a justification for managers (the useless kind, which is about 90% of them) to not become redundant, and for the C-suite to keep getting those sweet sweet tax breaks. Which answers the question by itself. "Shou

Close to none. Most of the heavy industry products (e.g. cars) are imported from either Brazil or Argentina. There's a lot of agriculture tho.

Agreed but it's still perceived as a property tag. Anyone trying to hook up will look for a ring as part of the non-verbal social clues. Rings being expensive or not is a different matter.

A lot of people actually refused. That's why Python 2.7.x was kept alive an updated for several years, the Python 3 Wall of Shame existed, new projects were started in Python 2 by default anyway, and so on. In hindsight it may be easy

Agreed but from what I've seen most layoffs were on the content/writer/social side of things. Sounds to me that the focus is now on being a platform and not an outlet. I still have no clue what Epic wanted to do with it.

Kind of, but most human relationships are somewhat regulated (marriage, parenthood, etc) so everyone has a framework on what to expect, do's and dont's. Friendship is when everyone comes with a random set of expectations, all of t

I can relate with this. I only socialize for sex and/or money (e.g. networking). I have zero interest in anything else. From my point of view everyone does the same, but can't deal with the isolating nature of it all and need to d

They're there for the storefront alone and it shows. Valve's vision was to become the _platform_ for the PC and then add a store. GOG at least tries to do things right with far less resources. The rest are simply abysmal.

I wasn't against regulatory oversight. I was mentioning that it's a system as flawed as everything else if you just expect it to work. Also I'd like this kind of direct life threatening decisions to become criminal charges (n

PC gamers, and gamers in general, owe a big one to Gabe forever. For an industry this big, we have countless examples to know very well that it could have gone much, much worse.

TL;DR: they don't work either. See the Boeing 737MAX fiasco for reference. Regulations are pretty easy to circumvent with enough money it seems.

Top engineers? Sounds like a bunch of regular good practices that I'd expect by default from a senior engineer. Maybe the term senior engineer has been overused and now we need a new term for "pretty experienced at the job"?

VSCode was very fast in the beginning, indeed. Now with all the feature creep being added constantly, reminds me of Visual Studio.NET 1.0 Sublime Text is as snappy as ever. I paid for it, too.

Not surprising at all. They want to go back to the pre-crypto craze era and they all have a common plan for it. Yeah it's cartelization and it's illegal but we all know they do it.

It actually was a respectable company. But the guy who started it all (Mitchell Hashimoto) isn't there anymore (at least not as a decision maker) so the corporate drones are taking over.
