From the report, it sounds like a good thing, for the product and the team morale. Strangely the math looks such that they could hire nearly 1 FTE engineer that works full time only on "little issues" (40 weeks, given that people

Not necessarily "failure": for a startup, it makes sense to prioritize speed of development over cost optimization. Since you don't know just how fast your MVP will grow, remaining elastic early on is a plus, and sticking wit

Yep, same experience here, very good results with DELL Latitude E7240, E7260 and similar. Very rugged and Linux works like a breeze - on eBay from $179 (just checked again). One is well advised to upgrade them to 16 GB RAM and put in a 1 TB

Why would I want to use Teams on Linux? One reason to use Linux is to avoid such bloatware with unbearably poor UX. Rumor has it that a usability consultant died from a heart attack when he saw the first alpha build, but I may misremember t

What you mean is not "regex for Prolog" but an embedded PROLOG interpreter, which exists. Ironically, the most common way I have seen people do this is use an embedded LISP interpreter, in which a small PROLOG is easily implemente

There seem to be a lot of folks who'd want this, but are hesitant because of (a) there not being more people using it or (b) there not being more releases. This is strange in the sense that (a) didn't stop the Linux kernel from be

I politely disagree - it is exactly an industry researcher's purpose to do the risky things that may not work, simply because the rest of the corporation cannot take such risks but must walk on more well-trodden paths. Corporate R&

Some disadvantages of the proposed solution are: - memory overhead - source code bloat The second can be solved by creating a pre-processor that translates a more Rust-like syntax into the proposed Python code. But that would reduce interop
