Another big boy move. Satya Nadella is a proper CEO. Warms my heart to see someone competent up top at Microsoft again

Love to see it. About time open source devs started fighting back against the Silicon Valley techbro founder scum who've been shamelessly exploiting their idealism and naivete for decades

The ergonomics angle is a good one, I failed to consider that

Cool but who needs this? I'd rather see a keyboard that limits you to 10 WPM so you are forced to think before you type

Imagine being this stressed and miserable over someone else building something cool and valuable when you already have enough money to never need to work again. What a wretched existence

I notice that your AnExplorer file explorer app is a hefty $9.99. How do you get sales at that price point? Word of mouth over time?

Which all adds up to, karma doesn't mean shit. We already knew that, but it not matter because lizard brain like see number go up

Karma in my experience has a lot more to do with comment tone and with reading the room well than with the quality of the comment's content. I accumulated I think about 500-600 karma in 2021, but most of that was just me saying stuff t

Thank you!

That is anything but conclusive. It is easy to imagine why someone might want a die to be unfair

What should I do if I want to draw 2D lines? I just want to draw nice looking, efficient 2D lines. I am aware there are many high level engines and libraries that let you draw lines, but I have tried them all over many years and they are al

I would bet these are dice. The Romans are known to have played a variety of dice games, including in the backgammon family, a family of games known to sometimes use 12d dice (Source: Oxford History of Board Games by David Parlett)

Pretty sure K&R calls C a high level language. Just a matter of perspective, innit: a high level language to assembly programmers, a low level language to .NET/JVM/web programmers, and prob something like a lower-mid-level lan

Because everyone at the top levels of government has the security clearance to know that The Basilisk is real. This is also why Presidents age so visibly and dramatically in just 4 years

What does Amazon care? They know having an eavesdropping device in every home is table stakes in their league so I am sure they would keep pushing Alexa shit even if it was losing them a lot of money in the short run

Same. A great example of satisficing in action

What business does anyone have being a teacher if they can't be bothered to log onto Coursera and teach themselves? Less than none. RIP Canada

Would you put the one and only copy of your family photo album up on AWS, where AWS going down would mean losing it? Because your customers' data is more important than that

Just leave and get a job at another startup. Some people are desk jockeys and some people are field agents

Pretty standard for a big project to take twice as long as initially projected, no? This isn't exactly a SaaS startup where you can ship a spaghetti turd MVP to hit the deadline and fix later if you get traction

Damn, not a single woman in the To: or CC:....it was a different and in some ways even shittier time

As someone who has tried fish sausages, I just wanna say...anyone who thinks there's a strong demand for fish sausages hasn't tried fish sausages

I expect open source developers not to release projects or updates that they reasonably expect many others will choose to depend on unless they are willing and able to do extensive, thorough, sophisticated QA on them. Contributing to open s

Even if the writer sincerely believes that, literally all they have to do to find their answer is ask themselves that same question. I am pretty sure no independently wealthy person would be wasting their time writing this drivel

If you haven't read all of these yet, start there: * The Iliad * The Odyssey * .....(list continues for a few hundred items) Once you get through that list, the next thing to check out is Tim Rogers' review of Cyberpunk 2077 (I me

Do they just, like, not have a QA department over there? Have people really still not understood that they amount of resources spent on QA must be exponentially proportional to dependents count? And that QA, not software "engineering&q

To me it sounds more like a straw that broke the camel's back moment. They've had enough and they can't take it anymore and are lashing out in a madness of grief and rage
