Forgive my ignorance but how does liquid Nitrogen (which has a boiling temperature of ~190Celsius) translate to the -23C you mention ?

Such a high degree of certainty but without any actual argument is usually a certain sign of someone afflicted with Dunning-Krueger. Can you tell us anything about why you're so sure of all these things?

Are you just telling me that you don't want to do your job properly as a hiring manager, which in my opinion would be to get the best people for the job, and that you prefer to pass the buck to your team to train them? I mean, sure, th

That's perfectly fine. I think the world is large enough so we can coexist in peace. Also I don't dismiss camaraderie that appears spontaneously between coworkers, I was complaining about the company enforced fake camaraderie that

I'm not sure what exactly you're reading in my words, but I don't really understand why you think it's my "effing job" to provide training for inexperienced developers. My contract stipulates no such thing, and

How so? The camaraderie that companies try to enforce on their low lever employees with this kind of manipulation is nothing but a ruse. Why do you think that a whole team of people should be responsible for the inability of some? I have em

My only complain so far about the package is that it required transpiled versions of the whole dependency chain for sqlite in order to get it working, from libc to tcl. The whole tree for the latest version is about 2G. This is not a trivia

But you can still back-up your games and use them without Steam if the developers did not use the DRM parts of the Steam SDK.

Somehow I think this one is not Sony's fault entirely. Time Warner has recently moved towards "unifying all their streaming platforms" which meant that a lot of adjacent services will close/migrate to Discovery+ directly

I am not sure why you think "Linux" wants to be used by people. There is no "Linux" in that sense. The people that want to run Linux on their machines, make efforts in that direction, either by ensuring that the hardware

I think Blow hasn't finished designing the language yet, so a language specification is probably not in the cards. Also I doubt that it will ever be, as the current compiler will most likely be the only implementation.
