I wish I could do that in Canada. Not totally isolated but a few kms from a main road with a chalet and something. Solar for power, Starlink for network and I can die in that chalet. But building and maintaining are going to be hell because

I actually think QT is not too bad for small applications too. I wrote a Quake launcher over a few days because I was so tired of finding my Quake executable and setting the same configurations every time I load a mod. I knew zero about QT

I think CRWD is trying hard to close the litigation door here. If the litigation goes to court and even if they managed to reach agreement for a fairly small amount, say 50M, it's going to open doors for much more later. I think their

The lawyers have always been in control since the beginning. And more so today. It's part of the idea of the United States of America.

Engineers in general don't have the heart and gut to play politics. Actually ordinary people don't. That's why we tolerate assholes because they are supposed to be our assholes.

I heard investment bankers rely on it from the 90s. How addictive it is?

May I ask which companies they are? Would love to learn from their programmers.

Is there any reading about this topic? By saying binary parsing I guess you meant code that parses say PNG or WAD files?

Well we are not a guild and software devs naturally hate the guild mindset, so that's extremely difficult to impose on ourselves. Maybe insurance company and lawsuits are the next good answer. If people start mass sueing company X, the

I always think it's easy for state actors to pull out this trick. Considering PR review is usually done within the team. A state actor can simply insert a manager, a couple of senior developers and maybe a couple of junior developers i

I think you are correct on that many SWEs are incompetent. I definitely am. I wish I had the time and passion to go through a complete self-training of CS fundamentals using Open Course resources.

Getting America back to manufacturing is an expensive and long term job. And it probably requires some bloodshed. No one os going to do that. The next best thing is to source from countries that is not China or whoever you don't like.

That was pretty bad, but I'm glad you at least got out. It's PIA to work with such a person. Is that an F500 US company?

It's tough to fight against it if the culture is brought down from the C-level -- and usually that's the case. Fighting will always lose unless you are a very senior member, say a senior VP, and even that probably doesn't mak
