"should not" is meaningless here, because in the real world there are tons of situations where people want you to edit PDF, one way or another

Nothing "clueless", I don't know what you are talking about. If people release/contribute to code under MIT license, they are very well aware that anyone on any projects -- open source projects, proprietary software -- c

"worthy of a giant lawsuit" Wow, that's a bold claim. Unless vscode and other products are improperly using GPL-licensed or not following license requirements otherwise -- which I am not aware of -- Microsoft is doing nothing

You can have this rant as you please but that doesn't change the fact that Microsoft is following the what the license requires and did nothing wrong.

I tried to explain Calibre to someone else and an analogy I came up with was "iTunes for ebooks" which I found to be quite accurate. If Apple breaking up iTunes into different apps gives any hint about the shift in the way people

Outside HN (and similar crowds) barely anyone has an issue with web pages running JavaScript. I understand the sentiment but don't think it's practical or useful/meaningful. That's how the web works, mostly. And that def

Whenever I see the claim "the financial companies don't do actual work, they just make up money, but we software companies do" I cannot stop thinking about all the engineering that went into getting people spending more time

You might want to look up how increasingly complicated it is to "take the H1B train". There is a lottery process where one has <10% of chance of getting selected in the "general" category. And many companies don'

More software developers in the US does not exclude the possibility that there are also more developers in India, actually even more than in the US. My company has a presence in India, and it is noticeable that the company in general is fav

The fact that there are new and exciting things happening has nothing to do with whether the language is becoming less popular/relevant/adopted. Almost any index or ranking for programming languages you can find, TIOBE, stackoverf

Off topic -- The joke is that you can hardly find a laptop with upgradable RAM these days. Not even on some ThinkPad lines. Gaming laptops often do.

Unless this is written in the warranty, your experience is no more useful than an anecdote -- "design to" only goes as far as the watch is still working, otherwise it is $249 down the drain.

Is there a different warranty for the Ultra that gives you money back if the watch is dead because of water damage? (As far as I know, no.) If not, what's the point of your comment?

How much is "a lot"? Enough that there is guarantee the camera won't be broken? Any numbers?

If he backed out of the deal at the last minute and never signed his name, I might agree with you on "supposed to be an attention-grabbing stunt". The revisionist view here is mind-blowing.

So the number comes from survey of opinions of C-level executives. I'll believe it when I see it.

I see your point but need to say that I find the curation of B & N to be decent, including the "technology" section -- you can find a good mix of beginners and advanced level books, and they are often up-to-date. And slightly

That's a long shot. I wouldn't hold my breath for seeing the day when gaming on Mac is a real choice for big games.

Raymond Chen said (to the effect of) this in his book the Old New Thing: You have been playing your game fine. You installed a new Windows OS and now the game no longer runs. As an average customer, who do you blame? Hint: not the game stud

Whether those authors are still at Google is irrelevant. As long as Google is still hiring the best people, you should expect to see work that has just the same quality and impact, just produced by a new team. Although I genuinely don'

If a car cannot drive without having Internet connectivity, it should not be on the road in the first place. If I don't have Google Maps it can be difficult for me to get to my destination, but I'll never stop in the middle of a r

You'll be surprised how many people that would be. Especially as the job market is not great at this time.

Since we are already off topic, here is one more -- a certain government wanted graduate students to pay taxes on their "tuition" remission back in 2017, which could be hundreds to thousands of dollars, out of $20k-30k annual sala

I definitely worked harder when I was a grad student than now as a software engineer who finds time to slack.

Did it occur to you that there are people who were hired during the pandemic, who had full virtual onboarding experience? How did they survive? Actually I myself joined my current company after March 2020. I can't imagine a 5-day, in-p
