"Your language, that was made in c/c++..." What's funny is that C was initially written in B, and C smoked the living hell out of that language. As it turns out, the speed of compiled code and the running time performanc

well we all got to start somewhere i suppose. It looks like he's off to a good start and perhaps we got another coding horror in the making. One can hope right?

RTFM is always a valid response when you are dealing with a lazy, spoiled society that would rather just call tech support and bother somebody who is sitting on the other side shifting through a stack of manuals in from of them that comes w

Ive been using wayland and sway for about 2 weeks now. My experience is this. If it's compiled to run for Wayland. Fan f-in tastic. No hiccups, no random screen tears or visual glitches of any kind. My logs are surprisingly sparse and

Doesn't inflation directly lead to a decrease in the percentage of the likeliness you are going to be able to hit the correct number for the same kind of products? Also I think Apple and China kinda destroyed the whole "relative v

The last time the government tried to build a website inhouse.... Well we all know how funny that was. Ahh the good ol' days. Good times. Welp back to grind.

Well when lawyers think they are the smartest ones in the room but are in reality dumb enough to present starving engineers and entrepreneurs with a "life or death" dire problem to solve, what did you expect to happen? For us just

There is such a thing as RF shielding that uses copper or other conductive metals in a grated screen as a means to block out radio frequencies. While the application is typically used as a means to create telecommunication dead zones, i cou

The problem I see is that Uber doesn't understand that their UberEats market is not necessarily the same as their Uber taxi market. What they fail to realize is that by centralizing their focus on highly populated metropolitan area lik

One thing that bothers me about new code editors/IDEs is that their developers really don't do a good enough job researching and deriving inspiration from the editors that already exist. For example, I have yet to find any modern

Engineers don't care to talk much about politics because typically in the development of tech, you only very rarely (if ever) encounter the kind of complex situation where you must resort to a political debate in order to differentiate
