I am a C++ programmer (mostly C++ anyway, I also use C and Java albeit not much which I always say I am a C++ programmer as 90% of what I do is C++). My salary is quite high for a C++ programmer though but that is because I also have respon

Well you didn't mention that second part in your first post did you ;) Also perhaps not burn alive but they certainly didn't have a problem with lynching them in the South did they?

Ugh I knew somebody would bring up generalisations. Yes yes I know not every single person in Russia hates and wants to kill gay people. Ask a gay person if they would go to Russia and be openly gay without worrying about it? I doubt you

When I switched from iOS to Android at the start of the year I switched from Firefox to Chrome to give it a try again (because why not) and yup Chrome is better in pretty much every way IMHO. The only thing I actually dislike about Chrome w

Well it is to be expected from places like Russia and India tbh. I am from the UK and such comments would be seen as shocking but we all know Russia hates gay people it makes sense that employees who grew up and continue to live in Russia a

"You are a married lady older than 32 who makes more than $52,000/year" When actually I am a co-habiting (good as married tbh) man who is 31 and makes £120,000/year. So not the greatest guess hah.

The reason IRC is still king is because it is so damn simple. You can plug literally anything into it as a bot. When I was at Facebook we used IRC extensively for builds, deployments, testing, etc. It is just ridiculously simple to plug any

I'm still on a T420s. Other than the rather crap panel it is a great machine still. I have been holding out for a decent fanless machine. Something with the same sort of power as a 3rd or 4th gen i5/7, M.2 SSD, 1080p or better 14&

I kind of agree, they are not as awesome as they used to be but I don't know if that is totally Lenovo's fault. Back when ThinkPad's where an IBM product laptops were bit and chunky, then we had ultrabooks and Lenovo had to c

My main machine is still a T420s and it runs every Linux version I through at it without fail. I haven't heard any bad things about more modern T series (or W series) with Linux, not sure about the L series though sorry.

VS Code is a programmers text editor. It has great support for a lot of the things Atom does well for example. It isn't an IDE in the same way you most likely think of Visual Studio. It is free though so why not give it a try?

Not the same person as parent but I wouldn't recommend System 76 personally. I got caught up in the hype and got a Lemur 14" but the build quality is pretty poor and I had awful keyboard issues (since fixed I believe). If you want

I see your points but the reality is there is no real data on how an SSD acts and fails outside of torture tests from the manufacturer or review sites. Data centre data is still good data to help us better understand SSD lifetime and failur

Weather is the only app that I actually use. Groove is a joke, Edge is a tech demo and a pretty poor one at that. OneNote is junk compared to the Win32 version. I don't use Mail or Calendar as I find web applications work so much bette

Yeah Netflix will only do 5.1 in the app sadly. I think Chrome and Firefox are limited to 720p as well, only IE and maybe Edge does 1080p.

Ever since switching to Windows 10 I have found myself using Ubuntu more and more. To the point where I mostly boot Windows 10 once a week just to keep it and some software up to date. I like some things about Windows 10, for example the ne

The modern NHS system in the UK was the biggest fuck up I have ever seen. I worked with people who also worked on the project. They are seriously amazing people but apparently all the layers of management, red tape and politics was, accordi

The beginning of what looks to be a pretty interesting series on the Game Boy. The video does an excellent job of explaining how things work right down to the CPU registers. It also gives a nice explanation and comparison of assembly progra

I use Telegram as a cross-platform alternative to SMS which offers zero security anyway so anything Telegram has is better than what I would get with SMS anyway.

I have pretty small hands yet I am ok with the size for about 90% of my use. I wanted a mini-tablet and that is exactly what I got :) I wouldn't want to run with it though! I can imagine that would be a pain in the ass as it is big. No

Ok I should be clear about what I mean when I say I can't fault it. Obviously nothing is perfect. If you want me to really take things a part then sure I would have preferred the headphone jack be on the bottom as that is my personal

Fucking bang on point. Mint has a nice out of the box experience but after using it for a while you begin to see all the shit they stuffed in the cracks. It is a shame as Cinnamon is a lovely DE, I wish there were an official Ubuntu build w

The same reason they can't take the SSD out of my computer and put it in a dock to get at the data. The drive is encrypted with a key they don't know.

Does it taste nice? That means it probably causes cancer. I jest but it does seem like everything nice either causes heart disease and/or cancer.
