Pretty cool historical insight. I wonder whether it's still cheaper to do it this way than what the alternatives would be. Of course, it's nice that everyone is kept warm and the air is always fresh due to the open windows for ve

The title of "only $130K (£100k)" is incorrect — it makes it seem like he's underpaid, because 130k USD in the US wouldn't be a competitive salary, whereas 100k GBP in England is quite a top buck. Also, not sure about th

Why? If he's happy at FB, and wants to get more k$, I'm sure he can arrange to get moved to the US and have his salary adjusted for the local market without any issue. Probably would mean 180k$ base or whatnot right away; plus l

False. His base salary is 0,00 USD and 100k GBP. Also, if we want to have adequate comparison between regions, there has to be some sort of a retirement-related benchmark for when a person can retire comfortably. For example, in the US, i

He's not based in the US, though, so, I don't see anything strange here. He's getting paid 100k£ base salary. That's a pretty huge salary in the UK — SWE salaries outside of the US major markets are much lower, and in E

It's also a lot about the marketability of your skills. The only reason the OP can boast about the experience with these proprietary tools is because they're used by FAANG. No other reason — it's just an indirect and inconsp

I'd guess at one point you simply can't buy anything cheaper than 10MHz? I'm updating my laptop; it'd probably be fully sufficient to have just 16GB DDR4 (I have just 4GB right now, and it ain't that bad), but I can

That's for pointing this out. It is pretty ridiculous just how trivial and severe this is, indeed. However, given the lower prevalence of OpenBSD, I'd be interested to know whether anyone has any data on whether this is being expl

Why not let the user download any old version? Let the users mark newer versions as broken for their hardware, so that the last-known-working-version is not reset? I mean, they have a platform, but the feedback loop seems kind of broken.
