That /. thread was amazing. So many people trying to justify behavior that cleanly pointed to murder. Not every action by itself, but the combination of all of them: buying crime books, removing the seat, cleaning his car and there

I remember going to Code::Blocks ( https://www.codeblocks.org/ ) once Dev-Cpp started to become obsolete. I wrote a bunch of small games using CodeBlocks.

Right, I got the same message when accessing the page... so I just clicked back and came to the comments. I don't care enough to read the article to disable my security mechanisms, there's plenty of alternative content :)

In 2004 [1] (20 years ago!!) Time magazine ran a pretty interesting article about inflammation and its effects on the body. I remember It got my attention as I had just started suffering with "IBS". Fast forward 20 years and It

Lol not at all. I am actually part of a group of CTOs in my area and I know of a couple of people that have "copied" the method one way or another. For all I care I am happy for people to copy it. That's the type of process

If you don't want to be laid off, don't get hired. It's just part of the process. Or get a government job. I hear people can last dozens of years in those.

The crazy thing is that since the old Max fiasco several of us believed that the priorities of the Boeing company were completely wrong: they had decided to cut so many corners to increase profit to the point of negligence. Doing That, in

Airlines should stop buying Boeing airplanes. At this point they are catastrophes waiting to happen. Fortunately, most airlines in my country use Airbus planes.

This is whats stupid about linux. Every time someone raises a specific issue , someone invariably suggests X or Y distro, which may fix that one thing, but break other 5. It seems I'd need to n install 5 different distros in my Dell La

I think in THEN USA the minimum wage is moot as long as companies can pay people less than that in lieu of tips. It's nit really "minimum" if companies can pay less legally.

What I would love to see is a comparison between Mexicos minimum wage (about $1.5 USD per hour) and Carlos Slim (richest man in Mexico who ali was richest man in the world some years ago). The disparity in Mexico is crazy.

Windows 7 UI was great. And I'm someone who has used Win since 3.1 days. I wish microsoft maintained a version of windows "professional " without all the 10,11 crap/adware and with win7 ui. Even if it costs more

(All IMHO) Which is great! Copyright is stupid and it is time we derogated that 350 old law which at this point is stifling innovation. As I said in another thread: Sorry if your 40 hour work won't pay you $10 bucks a month forever. T

The Elixir one looks to me like a language reference. Nothing wrong with it, in fact I used to love "language reference" books in the 90s to learn a new language. It's way better than the typical painful language tutorial th

I have a similar feeling. I've got quite a bit of experience and battle scars after 25 years in the field. I've got technical knowledge at different levels: from jr to staff/architect level to CTO. However, I've never l
