   You're financially supporting the wrong people. So those are the people who can afford to implement the tools you want. Financially support the right people, and you'll find your tools follow the money.

   Yeah. Advertising budget and that fallacy where people associate cost with value.

   I'm shilling for anti-shilling.

   Because Microsoft pays people to shill for them on media sources like Hackernews.

   Agreed. Hacker News has jumped the shark.

    I disagree that anything is better. They're incrementally keeping up with technology. In fact, from my perspective, it feels like they hold us all back by leveraging their hold on offices.

    I would take an 8% paycut to be free of the nonsensical 9-5 schedule.

    I've only built front ends in QtCreator and Visual Studio WPF, but after getting over the initial QT way of doing things, I find it delightful. It's C++, though. So it's definitely weird in that uniquely weird C++ way.

    I feel like ICQ 98 was the pinnacle of chat applications. Floating contacts and email style messages... brilliance.

    I find it's quite the opposite for me. Women find me significantly less attractive now that I'm in my mid thirties.

    I thought it was going to be an interesting perspective article about the Indians who supported and profited from British rule of India.

    I think it's a side effect of the eternal September. There was a time in my life when I had to convince people that email was important. Now, it's old news and even the slowest adopters have seen the light provided by the internet
