i'm not racist as such, unless americans became a race recently... but i do have a relatively strong dislike of many american cultural aspects and i don't try and hide it at all. i've met plenty of fine individual americans,

the idea that there is large scale organised bullying of migrant workers is so fantastic - i struggle to understand how people can realistically believe these things if they have much real world experience. i'm sure it happens, but its

thats not really the implication. it doesn't require squeezing... the implication is that even if paid and treated the same foreign workers are more productive, and this is very easy to believe. i'm not 100% defending the companie

I think you missed a critical point from this, its not just that foreigners have lower standards, its that they do better work as well. It even quotes a guy pointing out that you get significantly worse value for money hiring americans... t

the underlying problem here is not surprising... that foreign workers are more productive. if that wasn't the case the incentive for this behaviour would disappear. regulating employment to encourage employing natives is not the soluti

Earth. you might want to come back down to it... a minuscule proportion will complain about those things. the vast bulk of real world users haven't even tried linux or know it exists.

well done, i guess...

i am turned off when the criticisms towards windows, whilst valid, typify the out-of-touch-with-reality-ness of many linux fanboys. real world users do not notice, much less care about these issues, nor want them fixed, nor would their user

in a lot of cases, the majority i would say, dependency management is not very useful at all. stuff like cocoapods, ports etc. all of it are just another pit of tar to crawl through before you can press a button to build. sure you can bury

> Every editor out there worth its salt can adjust the tab size the way you want this is the one strong argument for tabs that i have heard, over and again. it makes a lot of sense. if this was a real issue i'd fall that side of the

that kind of stuff is a nightmare in source control. i'm always cringing when i see a text encoding option - what I want from source control, is, byte-for-byte, what I checked-in, regardless as to line ending issues that haven't c

better than nothing. also... nobody is entitled to anything, we should earn it. part of that includes paying attention to, and not signing contracts containing clauses that will obviously devalue your rewards.

i'm still convinced this whole philosophy of investing/cashing out is the wrong one for building successful businesses. still the comment about the smallest violin hits this on the head. what could have been with different decisio

I think the case he is getting it is when you should be writing an actual program using something like C where you do have access to absolutely everything. He alludes to this in his first comment about exactly when to use shell scripts. &gt

there is only one myth that needs busting. that these tools solve any real problems that can't be solved better.

have you worked such jobs yourself? i'd guess not from the tone and content... ... there is a lot of value in learning to be common. you might also come out of such experiences with 4) an understanding of day-to-day terms that prevent

this guy is clearly not very good at explaining things. even though he says a lot of stuff here there is nothing to substantiate why - specifically, he didn't really explain why this potential investor having not worked a normal job in

I think this depends on the kind of person you are, as well as the field you are in. If you can learn things for yourself effectively then there are a whole range of degree level courses which are completely unnecessary. In fact, not wastin

You mean appending things on the end of files or what? If so, probably because its trivial to work around by storing the data in new files - and large data where this would be valuable should be broken down into pieces for n different reaso

this is revolting code. period. it does nothing special or novel whatsoever - except maybe to set a quality bar for writing unmaintainable code. the very first example given is simple, but demonstrates a thorough lack of understanding for w

sure. i don't disagree, but i can see why people would make these decisions. its a tradeoff between small numbers of angry users and burning money on something that is failing.

This is fine, but lots of rubbish here. The second point is especially filled with science fiction.... General relativity? rest mass? Kinetic energy? These are real terms but the context here is all wrong... don't use words you don&#x2

i'm really enjoying playing around with this actually! one other small niggle i've found is that it doesn't respect my swapping of cmd+ctrl on mac for e.g. cmd+z undo. tiny niggle, but niggling all the same. :)
