Well I'd argue that in general companies that have been able to shift their business into remote servers are doing much better. In fact I can't think of something that runs native on a device and is better than all it's compe

5 years of grad school implies a PhD - in which case they should be hyper specialize in some field. Sounds like your friends just chose the wrong subject to pursue a PhD in. Normally you're supposed to end up being one of the top 20 ex

I'm sorry, but I feel like all these "Just use Rust!" comments are written by idealistic college students. Yes, maybe Rust is better, and maybe if we could push a button and make everyone use it the world would be a better pl

I think you're not appreciating that most people don't know anything about electronics. So a bunch of wires and LEDs does in fact look very scary from their perspective, and you know.. better be safe than sorry. Would it have been
