Same here. Go tends to make me "just do it". I personally think it's a big win, because I believe systems need to be composed and the components they are composed of as simple as possible. As a human though I tend to waste ti

I'd rather pay for the app directly actually.

This seems to scream "separate me!". Why is it acceptable to put all this responsibility into one giant ugly ball? We desperately need separate layout engines, parsers, renderers, etc. Assemble-your-own-browser.

Oh please. The physical component does not require elite genetics, just proper training. Sure, hard work, but nothing out of the ordinary. The reaction time and the general talent for driving however, that's another story.

Those hidden variables have to violate known physics in order to exist. So that's a pickle.

Stategic reasoning is one of the very few things that makes us truly human. Running fast is and never was our thing. We compete, sure, but there's something eerie about a machine entity out _thinking_ us.

If landlines are part of the subtle body of an angel, I wonder what wireless networks are the body of.

The costs just outweigh the benefits. Nothing to do with idiot engineers or the task being hard. They could be idiots _and_ the task easy. Some things just don't need to be done.

I don't understand people using VS crap. After all these decades being screwed over you just flock back like a bunch of.. Just shell out some cash to support a proper IDE company like JetBrains.

How is this remotely true? Lots of C's were very, very wrong about the future.

You don't know if it was: A) just an inspection B) regulated to the same degree as in Germany (i.e. digging a hole and covering it up is easy if don't have rules) C) succesful D) done properly

The problem is us. We don't pay. We spend ridiculous amounts on nice cars, vacations, fancy clothes, but everything else gets scraps. 50 dollar for a book? Ha! 9,99 max and that's pushing it. 100 dollar to get access to a podcast

Which gives rise to the question of whether saving the human species is actually worth the trouble. It might be, it might not be. I'm not convinced it needs to be saved at all costs.

Florence, like Rome and all cities in Italy are dirty, chaotic cesspools with the few remaining crumbling ruins to remind us of a better time.

My kid doesn't nap and sleeps very short. My productivity took a nose dive from the quite extreme sleep deprivation. Sleeping 3-4h for months is bad for your mind.

It is the mindset. Slacking off leads to increasingly suboptimal apps. As long as the sales dept picks up the slack, it will work out, but it will bite you one of these days. India, China, Africa. Huge, huge markets. Slow, old, crap hardwar

I never understood why generated API docs are "documentation". That is source, trivial technical info which is easy to find in the source anyway. I never got documentation about the thought processes, the iterations, the design me

Political incorrectness will follow. Being a loser with no money and/or friends, possessions, status, whatever, will affect your ability to influence greatly. I find a lot of activist types are afraid of wealth or status, which usually

The 90s called, they want their UI engineer back. UI these days is often more complex than the underlying logic itself. App logic became, to me, even secondary. Most of those issues are solved problems (databases, sql, rest, xml, json) and

I hate to say it, but I agree. My most annoying collegue is the most dependable, knowledgable person I know. Once you navigate his fuckedupness he is quite a joy to work with, but god forbid I ever socialize with him, it is a nightmare.

Agreed. One of the pillars of Unix philosophy is stdin/out and pipes. Emacs balatantly ignores them.

"Embrace, extend, and extinguish" These words are not made up by journalists, these are the exact words Microsoft used internally. They do this, every. Single. Time. Everyone keeps falling for it, talking proudly about how MS chan

I agree, same experience here. I've seen and experienced things which are not normal. It affected me. Not that bad, but still.. 10/10 will do again.

Google is getting worse though. I sometimes find myself using duck or gasp, bing. Damn SEO BS is killing it.
