I have no doubt the people who BUILT Quartz are top notch. Users of it... Mileage varies i suppose.

Some questions are best left unanswered... :)

It's not just the "knowing some lib". It's a way of working that is not compatible with the outside world. I had every single character i type having to get director approval. I sopped counting broken things that require

Yes, it is their fault, but the organisation didn't even attempt to nurture professional development. Stagnation was a feature, not a bug. Arguably, these guys were paid very well so they would have taken a pay cut anywhere else anyway

I worked on Quartz for a while as a contractor. Hated every second of it. Python version was old (2.4 if I remember correctly when 3.x was already the popular version). But that wasn't it. It was the proprietary version of everything i

Is there a "translation" guide for distro hoppers? Something that I can tell which distro I'm coming from and it would tell me to do X in distro Y, do Z?

I've been using Ubuntu since 2005. Most of this time on Thinkpads. My last laptop is the 9th gen X1, and the microphone does not work on the latest Ubuntu (not LTS, but still a very basic function). On a whim I tried a live Fedora On F

Thank you for that. Exactly the answer I was hoping to get.

I'm actually on the lookout for a small case but for a different purpose - I want to build a NAS enclosure that will hold at least 4 full size 3.5" drives in the most compact form factor possible. I was hoping one of those might d

Sounds like quite a naive statement. The scope of this project is huge. there are so many different systems at play here. Some are so legacy they go back to Tudor times.

I live in a tiny blink-and-you-miss-it "village" called Hampton Wick, which is nestled between Kingston upon Thames and Teddington. The river is approx 50m from my house, and Bushy and Home parks are right next door. Richmond park

I'm late to respond, but I hear you. I mostly work with startups or startup-like projects. The few gigs I had in Finance I found the day-to-day to be lacking any meaningful challenge. The only plus was the higher pay. And it seemed

Try this for mark/jump : https://gist.github.com/harel/25569bda00f7260923fdbc38e256f5... It's not "mine" but I adopted it years ago and cannot live without it. I don't know about detecting soft

Out of curiosity, what in iTerm is missing in any of the Linux terminals? (I usually use Tilix).

Good for him. Hope his takeaway increases. He earned it.

I strongly believe between evil and stupidity/incompetence the latter wins, always.

It was mind blowing indeed. It was such an adventure building stuff on the web back then. We didn't have the choice we have today. I don't think Google became "evil". It just realised (or remembered) it's a busine

I think any unwanted pop - over, under or sideways, is bundled up in the term "popups".

Not entirely related, but at the end of the 90s, just before the big Y2K, I was living in San Francisco, and interviewed at a residential house with some guy who was in the business of popups. The malware of that time. The job was to basica

I used to live in fear and respect of that error. Nothing was more dreaded to an Amiga owner in the 80-90s than that flashing red rect of the Guru Meditating....

I forgive them because it's Guru Mediation time. In this hectic harsh world, even computers need a moment sometimes.

When I was very young, during the early 80s, we had the concept of pirate cable stations. A guy would knock on the door, sign you up (i.e., take a cash payment every month). They then put actual cables from building to building, wiring each

I used to love Hugo! Always called the station as a kid hoping I get to play with my phone keypad.

I built a few python packages for my own use. The most notable one was created as an open source component for a government project where files needed to upload to S3 buckets without touching the local file system (for various reasons). The

I've never used Basecamp, I don't have an opinion this way or that on DHH or the Jason (they are Parve to me - not meat nor dairy). But that list of changes doesn't sound too radical to make me believe people left because of

We had an iPhone before the iPhone around 1995 (?) - Internet Phone was a pretty incredible voip application by VocalTec (?). Incredible that it worked - not so much by today's standards of quality.

We had an incident where our we got charged thousands (later refunded) by abusing dodgy routing and number verification process. The problem was that Twilio will allow calls through when the call balance is below zero, if the calls were qu

Since I switch to Wayland on Ubuntu 20.04 my laptop works significantly better. I don't get random hickups and slowdowns. Screen sharing works fine (at least on zoom which is what I tried, and only on the .deb package, not the snap one
