I am not saying it is easy, only that it is the easiest when compared to e.g. manufacturing or services. You can't exactly outsource a dentist or barber to India and outsourcing manufacturing is a hugely expensive and complicated task,

I lived in Denmark for 5 years and yes, it has been like that. However, all the paperwork you will need to handle will still come in the official language, not in English. All contracts and legal documents will be in that language as well.

That's what you get when you generalize over all media and, especially, not knowing any of them. European media are on both sides of the aisle, you will find both left and right leaning ones, including crazy tabloids. However, what you

Read carefully what I wrote. I didn't write that supporters were "scum" or "nazis". However, do check who was the first to congratulate and cheer Trump's victory: Nigel Farage - former head of UKIP in UK, a par

This is hardly about silencing anyone. But I refuse to not call racism racism only because it could offend someone. Wasn't it Trump who has the been the biggest opponent of the political correctness? That cuts both ways, you know.

In Scandinavia you could get by with English as a lot of people speak it, but for business dealings you need to learn the local language. If nothing else you will need to communicate with the authorities constantly - immigration/work p

Not true here in France or most of Europe, for that matter. The only people happy about Trump is ultra-right wing/neo nazi panopticon of odd figures - Wilders, Le Pen, Farage, Orban ... Really the "crème de la crème" of Europ

Exactly. Salaries in western Europe are about half of US salaries, if you go to the East, while still within EU, a programmer could be paid as little as $15-20k/year. If you go even more to the East - Ukraine, Russia, China, India, etc

No, it won't - because the ethernet on RPi is actually going over USB. The CPU doesn't have a built-in ethernet peripheral. So adding a gigabyte port would be pointless - the bottleneck would still be the USB bus.

That's the biggest problem with these boards, not just OrangePi, but most of of these SBCs. The ecosystem and development support leaves a lot to be desired. The community size is not comparable with what Raspbery Pi has and it shows.

They really don't. I have been called by one of their headhunters recently who explicitly refused to tell me what sort of position I would be interviewing for. He told me that: "That is not how we work. We will evaluate your abi

Reverse engineering yes, straight reusing of the reversed code (as the code author did in some cases, by his own admission) no. You can't take a piece of someone's code, decompile it, use it in your own project and then claim you

Copyright applies in Russia too. There are bits and pieces straight "reused" from other software - by his own admission. So his claim that he is a sole copyright owner is patently false - this code could be trivially attacked as a

You have missed my point. Comparing with Arch and saying it is easier - well, gee, sure - not a particularly high bar to clear! The same about installing the desktop using a package manager. If you have to actually do any of that, you have

Uff, that was a trip down the memory lane. That article strongly reminded me of what Linux was like - some 10-15 years ago. Nothing preconfigured, everything had to be set up by hand using config files, sometimes using magic incantations fr

Sorry, but that's just nonsense. If you want to actually sell something, I would expect to have at least a summary of main selling points right there, at the front page. Expecting the potential buyer to dig through the manual to even l

Except ALSA cannot do everything that PA does. ALSA is low-level Linux sound API that PA builds on. Read the post above, it explains the difference. Basically, if you want multiple sounds playing at the same time (e.g. music + desktop not

Ah, sorry for the rant. However it does piss me off when I see people uncritically praising VS as the best thing after sliced bread and flat out dismiss the alternatives without even looking at them - when VS is really terrible IDE. Unfortu

It is meaningless to make such comparisons unless you also compare codebase sizes. VS is perfectly zippy if you have a small project - but try to hit CTRL+SPACE to complete an Unreal Engine or OpenCV identifier! You will be sitting there fo

Well, heck even Emacs with some LLVM wrappers can do better job at C++ Intellisense than Visual Studio. Eclipse's CDT runs circles around it as well (so much for being very simplistic). And don't get me started on trying to use In

Pocket was even better before it was integrated into FF as little more than a button sending the user to the Pocket website/webapp. I have stopped using it at that point - it was just too much hassle.

Don't forget that ESTA is the enormous form that everyone traveling to the USA from countries not required to obtain visa has to complete and have approved before leaving. And it asks for wonderful stuff like: "Have you been a mem

Well, unfortunately the fact the clang/llvm generates nice looking error messages doesn't help Windows developers using Visual C++ at all. And obscure platforms - are you targetting those as a priority? That could explain your cho

That isn't all that hard to do, CMake routinely supports this for e.g. Swig or Qt's moc/uic/rcc tools. The code generator creates a bunch of files and those can be either built as a library or added to your normal list o
