I've worked with Thibault before he could self-sustain on lichess donations, he's a professional software developer and sysadmin and one of the best I've worked with. The people behind lichess are very much professionals, hav

I've had the opposite experience, about "it breaks and you have no idea how to fix it". On Linux when something breaks, you go to a forum and can understand exactly what's wrong and what's the right way to fix it. I

I've been using macOS for years (all my employers tend to give me a MBP) and the one thing I never get used to is the lack of magnetic borders for windows. You can never arrange them perfectly, they're always a bit disorganized.

I had my time using Arch, even Gentoo before that. It was fun but I'm done with that kind of "fun". Run your usual update packages and suddenly networking no longer works... Need to go to the forums to see which package broke

2004 was the year of Linux on the Desktop for me. That's the year I stopped using Windows and used only Linux on my desktops/laptops.

Windows Server is as good as dead. Even on Azure there are more Linux VMs than Windows. It's only used by a handful of companies still using MS server technologies by inertia.

Just curious, which desktop are you using on Linux?

It went to "only viable if you develop in .net or Java" to "kinda usable for other tech as well". So yes, it's improving, but only because it comes from very, very far compared to Linux.

You're assuming that they died quickly and peacefully. How many died after breaking their leg and starving alone on their floor?

I feel like I'm lucky to have lived this period of fast progress, not only for video games but internet as well. By contrast between 2010 and today the progress seems pretty slow.

The app can tell you which teeth are correctly cleaned (i.e. you spend enough time on it) and which teeth you forgot or went too fast. Personally I just used it once and ended up removing it, but I can see some people using it to ensure the

To see people doing computer science you need to go to a university and watch professors doing research. Also you can go to computer science conferences such as ACM conferences.

It's the other way around for me. I refuse to get a phone from my carrier. Phones "free" with a contract are just disguised loans. The loan is hidden in your monthly sub, which is why you have to be locked from anywhere from

I know people like to claim Apple designs and everyone else copy, but that's not what's happening. Everyone is converging to the same design, Apple like the others. They all borrow from each other until they all look the same.

I like the small radius corners of my Pixel 6a. I hope it will last because I can't see myself switching to a recent Pixel with those huge squircle corners.

Usually CO2 emissions correspond to cloud costs. Optimize your cloud costs, you optimize your emissions.

I don't understand that ad, why would anyone care about doing exactly 20?

I blame Nintendo for calling their "2 lights bar" that doesn't have any sensor a "sensor bar".

Yes, I don't really understand why he went from talking about tech jobs declining to bitching about the hiring process...

Yes, I had a candidate litterally telling me "design decisions always goes my way because I can always convince others that I'm right and they're wrong". OK, next!

Yeah, apparently it no longer works that way. You can ramble on social media, but if you publish it on your own site it needs to be worth publishing in a national newspaper or a peer-reviewed journal.

Sometimes to do something great, you need to give up your failed project to start over with something that have a chance to work.

iOS development is honestly the worse. It got a bit better with Swift instead of ObjectiveC but you still have to deal with XCode and a stupid process to sign and publish your apps.

How is a lead from the website bad quality? It's litterally a customer saying "I want to subscribe and pay more than the self-service price tag", no?

The problem is not the ISA itself. 1. They lied about the student success rates 2. They went after graduates for the ISA when they shouldn't (e.g. graduates not working in tech, or continuing the job they had before lambda school)

I believe they're capped to a maximum time and fixed amount, so it's like a loan where the payments depend on your revenue no? And if you don't reach the max amount during the max time you end up paying less.

Shipping doesn't come by car, with gasoline bought at a US gas station.
