The NT kernel is incredibly high-quality work. It was developed in 1993 and 28 years later is still powering billions of devices. Windows did have a lot of security problems, granted, but many (if not all) were in the upper layers - of whic

I probably know you, or some of your colleagues. Worked in Mountain View during the late 2000s. I really hated Symbian with a passion, and I was on the Java (and then Qt) side of it. It was embarrassing to try to sell that thing to external

I was trying to figure out my multiplier the other day and came to 1.05x. I'm an average engineer who works longer hours - hence the 0.05 premium.

I don't know what "that" refers to, but I was at Nokia for a long time while they did 5,10,15% layoffs and it did destroy the morale, people started running for the hills as soon as they could. AirBNB did a 25% one-off layoff

I possess neither the analytical skills nor the required stomach for doing this. But it's 45 days into Q2 and crypto is falling apart. If retail traders disappeared from Robinhood, I can only imagine it will be worse in crypto, given t
