It might sound silly, but anyone reading his self-reflection should watch the show Silicon Valley. Some of his "failures" actually failed the same way as the products of "Pied Piper".

Yes, exactly. And the classic: "idk, works for me", cracks me up every single time.

It should have been called "Determinants of female sexual orgasms in Finland" then, and the same title should have been used here as well. Why comment at all?

I didn't read the whole paper to find if they have ruled out aging world population. But, I believe there is a decline in sexual desire in general, especially in young adults. There can be so much correlation in so many areas, the titl

I've heard that a lot: "If you complain about Linux then you installed it on the wrong computer, and you're using it wrong." Basically it's your fault when Linux doesn't work. Doesn't matter if 1 of 2000 p

Welp, the pre-order site is down, I guess due to the hug of death from HN? I'd also really like to order one of those.

See, toxicity destroys business. I was once told by different toxic people that I lack social competence while working on projects with them (nobody agreed with them on that). The toxicity caused by them made several key people, myself incl

Is this version of logisim any way faster? If it's capable of fully simulating a CPU at 16 Mhz then I'm sold.

Give me $100B worth of M$ options and I'll become benevolent, kind and generous too.

The people who grew up knowing what a parity bit was, are in the IT consulting business now, myself included. I think that's how things naturally change. IT and computer hardware has become that much complex and popular at the same r

It's declining perhaps, yes, but it's not there yet. Because modern workloads shifted mostly towards gaming, crypto-mining and web browsers doesn't mean that general-purpose computers declined. It only means they haven&#x27

Wow, thanks. That's a lot to think about.

Most management mistakes are made through bad, or improper, or ineffective communication.

As Mr. Zuckerberg stated personally, the main product of Facebook are ads. That means, everything around ads and user tracking is their core business. Not whatever users do, but whatever users see and click when an ad is up. Making privacy

I have never even used Wayland, because it's so broken for me that I thought it's still unstable and experimental. On that note, if the developers are so frustrated that all their work doesn't get the resonance they wished

Well, that I call a literal foot in the door. I am waiting for the "I have nothing to hide" folks to call for "privacy and personal space is sacred" when people are going to start to incriminate themselves with domestic

That assertion is nothing new. I believe there were even studies made about that, comparing economies to organisms, and high-growth companies as cancerous manifestations. But don't ask me what and where.

Perhaps many do not remember, 10 years ago Linux support on mobile devices was actually abysmal. It was an exception rather than the rule. I am more concerned about distros dropping legacy stuff altogether instead of creating archive repos

They can. Just fork Linux and do their own thing, with blackjack and hookers.

TLDR: I am not surprised. A couple of years ago everybody was over VSC like flies, loving it, because it's open source and runs everywhere . I was in the minority of skeptics who predicted that kind of move. And now, once again, Mic

Ah, I was thinking about that, thanks for the link! I was quite inspired by the Jargon File, back 15 years ago. But now it is wildly outdated. Flame wars are now called shitstorms and they are held on Twitter. Hackers are not really outcast

I've heard techies saying char with ch in "chair". I was terrified.

by dschuetz 6y ago
That's why people try to agree upon terms and their pronunciation first. Most languages are unintuitive and it's worse with tech jargon. So, when you work in tech business, or even in some tech club you cannot just walk in and tal

Jeez, how did you get from correct pronunciation to anti-inclusive ?! Most people just want to know what you are talking about when you say libe or cat slash prots slash mem in fo or worse. Nothing is more infuriating when people sta
