It's strange working on Opensource these days. I've mostly worked on my own stuff alone which usually doesn't get much attention/additional contribution. Then I see on Reddit, HN or LinkedIn someone creating a major App

Well as mentioned it was in the 2000s. Compiling KDE alone took several days. Also there was no automation/script, so you really had to go to ftp.gnu.org and look in which folder the coreutils package is ;) I realize there's now a

> I did it once manually over a couple of days. Sounds like a speedrun of the tutorial. How did you approach packaging then and what system did you use to compile everything? I did the tutorial in the late 2000s I think and it took me 4-

Interestingly AOL, Compuserve and similar ones originally ran without Internet. In fact it took a while until the Internet catched up with the level of interactivity, mostly through Flash. It's absurd that nowadays many websites requir

On the Desktop fine-grained partitioning is a bit questionable but on a server it's still quite practical. E.g. preventing the database or excessive logs from filling the disk space. The latter is also an attack vector actually. Also g

The first thing that came into my mind was the fragile ecosystem up there. All considered this doesn't sound like a very thoughtful process. And of course as pointed out elsewhere, Norway isn't even EU. I wonder how happy people w

Actually Microsoft is doing this since the 90s with Word documents. Did they ever pause this practice?

The graph actually peaked in 2014. That's a decade before AI became a thing while the Software engineering workforce grew a lot since then. I think Stackoverflow was the last incarnation of romanticized old-school Q&A forums where

I'm no expert but to my knowledge metal cases always need to be grounded. Which is what I did with my 10" rack. I just bought a socket with a ground connector from an online store, although I'd be curious which exact cable is

Similar for me. One was for an overly very well paid position. I always run (p)npm audit before running npm repos, so lots of issues were found. I tried to fix them but I would have gone over the time limit. So I asked the recruiter about i

Thanks, I was interested at this point ;) Yeah I don't know, the other PR is from April. Not saying AI cannot be useful. On the other hand this is a "well studied" problem. Last year I worked on a project where I mostly stopp

It's very strange to think about this in the current context. Anything P2P used to be the Anti Christ of the Software Industry. The lengths Microsoft and game vendors went to prevent copying is insane. Installing Windows as well as var
