We're not talking about the "upgrade to Windows 10 update", but about the routine updates that are pushed to your Windows 10 system at random times without your consent. You also overlook that very often, once these updates a

Regarding the picture at the top of the article, it looks like it's been photoshopped. The lighting is inconsistent with the background. I think the tree on the left has been added with the same lighting to try make the lighting of Sat

> A group of them fucked up with that Windows 10 debacle I don't think that the auto-update feature was introduced by a "group of developers". This was purely board of directors driven.

As an aside, how do you do to find such old posts ? Is there a search function I haven't heard of ?

I came to post the exact same comment. I would never lock me in in such a naive manner. Core components such as AI, or even translation shouldn't be outsourced in my opinion, at the very least to be cost efficient, or as in the case of

The issue with your comment is that it is based on the idea that supporting a platform is the goal. As per your value metrics, the more platform-rich the experience is, the better it is. This is however not how business works and not how b

People really like to make their life complicate, do not change the design of an existing product. There are other ways to make life interesting. On the one hand designs tend to be overcomplicate - any design that is noticeable is overcompl

One thing we tend to forget as developers is that in any industrial process, there needs to be technical limitations enforcing requirements before requirements enforce technical specifications. We tend to be too easy because everything seem

Thanks that makes sense to me, it is the level of insight I was after :)

Totally agree, the blockchain is a great thing but it is largely becoming overused.

I think I'll be heavily down-voted for posting that on HN but in my opinion the reason most college graduates are liberal is that - whether we want to admit or not - colleges teach liberalism. I'm not saying that Big Brother is be

I strive for simplicity: Producing a maintainable and extendable solution being the simplest possible solution to the problem. Simple means both easy to understand APIs, healthy internals and judicious use of abstractions (no overkill). Pro

My point is that as soon as the state creates artificial rules - for reasons I do not judge - you need to remain coherent to avoid an explosion of the system. - Protected free Press / diluted journalist accountability, manipulations a

I disagree, I find this practice disgusting and unhetical. You can't have it both ways, on the one hand be a regulated occupation given special status by the state, and on the other hand claim free market rights.

Answer this question honestly : would your employees feel that it is in their best interest to learn new things and teach them to the company ? Having a learning-oriented company can only happen if people are aligned, and if making the comp

I totally agree with this comment. The questions he asks sound really old school to me. This interview style seems very academic, you should focus on their technical maturity for the role, and wonder if they'll be productive in a real
