I don't think that's really fair. Unity 3d and Vue.js are not random.exe.

Terrorism, without a doubt. If you win it gets amended to nice names like "fighting for independence".

Friction points are unavoidable. The point is they survived and have flourished under the direction of these companies who benefit from their continued existence. I agree a hostile takeover would not be good for anyone but if the existing

Well I think Amazon has a vested interest in the language at this point. Does the core team even matter that much now? If the core team falls apart could Amazon not simply pick up the reins? It doesn't seem to have hurt C# or Swift

It's actually quite a good design idea because it is often the case that lower level code knows everything that can go wrong but has no idea what to do about it. Higher level code has this knowledge. For an example, I remember readin

I'm fairly certain I've done similar things in Ocaml (in fact, I think it's where I learned this technique).

I'm not even sure the actual behaviour broke any contract. What people are complaining about is a short entry in a list of short entries.

It's amusing how many people are literally offended that they didn't explain why. But the answer we have is: because they wanted the smaller box. They are paying for it, no further explanation is required to the employee or anyo

Why would immutability guarantee no cycles? Here is a line of valid haskell: star e = let (sp, a) = (Split a e, atom sp) in sp EDIT: I guess I should probably explain it: star is a function that takes an expression "e&qu

The article kept saying HR was responsible but I don't understand why this wouldn't be split organisationally. A manager knows who is on their team (and when they leave), it seems to me it would make the most sense to split the &

You can think of tags as folders. The big different being an object (e.g. file) can be in multiple "folders" (tags) at the same time if you do that. But it would probably mean you don't have nested folders.

Isn't SELinux turned on by default in most mainstream distros these days? I think it's not "nightmarishly difficult" as it is "nightmarishly difficult" to use with the most complicated scenarios you can come u

I saw a clip from a Joe Rogan podcast some time back about a man who was doing long distance swimming. He was dropped off in the ocean in the middle of the night and had to swim toward the cost or some islands or something. With the boat

I wouldn't see this as unfair, just changing the compensation model. In the past you still had background music playing on the radio or Musak or whatever. Now the compensation model is changing. Maybe the actual problem is people ar

I have daily "1:1s" with my manager. I think of what has to change for WFH is that people understand that not every video call is a "meeting". Some of those calls are taking the place of the coffee/lunch conversat

Where I live we have jaywalking laws but they only apply if you are within a reasonable distance to a cross walk. I think it's possible to have reasonable laws so long as you have relatively reasonable politicians. :)

The scale. In the past you had to watch what you said about those who had the power to hurt you. Now you can have your life derailed by people you've never met and never will, who's only power is being popular in some community

Except Wal-Mart generally would not allow their name to be listed as a user of the product either.

CPS can be kind of thought of like a normal programming language with the modification that every function takes an additional parameter "the rest of the program" and calls this instead of "return". Of course once this

Isn't it possible to do in any system with CPS as well? I've not tried it but I would expect to be able to have a "conditions system" using the CPS monad in Haskell, for example. And Haskell doesn't even have vari

Surely that improves more than it hurts? I'm under the strong impression that most software developers aren't on these FAANG salaries.

In the western European country I live in, everyone was pushing for more and more outsourcing. Initially India but they started using eastern EU countries as well which was cheaper but didn't have e.g. timezone issues. They're m

It's not that SF/US based employees will look to be paid more it's that people in India who have comparable skills will look for compensation closer to what one gets in SF/US. Why would they accept prevailing outsourcin
