What an over the top comment. This is about a subscription for learning. Not a subscription for software. This also has no relation to “tracking”. I will happily be not using any of his/her resources, even if they are free. Thanks ve

Did it predate the “fuzzing” term?

The compile-time features and the fact that you have to use allocators explicitly are interesting things. Other than that there’s nothing else there, for me. But it’s turned out to be more interesting than when I first saw the first blog po

One of the more baffling anecdotes I’ve read in a while. The response to a very general comment about where most people end up is “opioid statistics” and then just the usual bravado. The response to such a malappropriate reply is so obvious

Call me blunt, but this statement feels about as hard-hitting and impactful as someone shouting in a crowd that they like pastrami sandwiches.

Interestingly though in this case it’s an amateur programmer (since being a professor of philosophy is his day job).

Too clever by half?

Clever observation.

As if such an obvious observation needed to be stated.

Makes sense. Good for me. Would in any case be kind of obvious that the employee thad violated the company policy when their desktop doesn’t look like the Mac or Windows one.

Given that they wrote “2nd of December” that was probably just a blunder.

Just saying that you are “lucky” without considering the fact that you make money for your employer makes you into a simp for your employer. So you’re privileged, you say. What about your employer?

I thought about commenting on this. But I figured that people would just take the argument down the path of indirectly competing about who the most passionate hacker (tm) is.

I wiped the computer they gave me and installed my own OS. If I quit or they fire me there is a three month period where I have to work for them anyway. It would be ideal to have two computers, but I don’t feel like committing to such an ex
