And after you have fiddled the next update might very well reset it all back to Microsoft friendly settings.

Really? KDE runs pretty well on my aging machines. Do you mean just animations and other graphical stuff?

by zarkov99 7y ago
Hell yeah.

Sure, but that applies to anything, does it not? If one multiplies anything one does by 7 billion there is a good chance a large number will come out. Maybe that is a little interesting at first glance but not in any larger sense.

Yes, I think that is interesting, but not enough for me to get over the oppression narrative. Furthermore, I am skeptical that there is anything there at all, I can't image that the energy I waste the few times a week I go to Amazon to

Yes, it seems pretty clear that the author feels oppressed by Amazon: "To put it bluntly, the user is not just exploited by means of their free labor, but is also forced to assume the energy costs of such exploitation."

Life has to be pretty great when people have to go to such extraordinary contortions to find something to complain about.

By US residents I mean people who live in the US culture. I would guess, but like you I have no insights into it, given the topics we discuss here and the ancestry of the site, that most of the people here are either Americans or spend most

Or maybe they assume that an American tech web site, populated by mostly American residents of one shape or another will be comfortable with F.

Linux is also much more popular for developers. WSL is a very well executed strategy to keep developers on Windows.

You are a brave and principled man. Thank you for posting that.

The hope is that people who are in good faith will look for the evidence and through their failure to find it come to change their views.

Can you link to where he said that as specifically as possible? I have read his paper and it doesn't say that.
704.
by zarkov99 7y ago
That can't be the whole story. Google is not the only provider of high status jobs for nerds. Why aren't Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Facebook also rife with this sort of activism?

Could you please provide a link to anything that Damore might have written or said in public that would justify calling him an asshole? Because I have read his paper, listened to some of his interviews and to me he looked as far from an ass

by zarkov99 7y ago
How did being assertive and bringing your whole self to work work out for James Damore?
707.
by zarkov99 7y ago
Except if you disparage white, straight men, sight unseen. Then you are just virtuous.

FPGA's are an essential part of high speed trading these days.

This is just so hilariously wrong. The man isn't even a Trump supporter, not that would in anyway justify this witch hunt, but read for your self: https://twitter.com/cmaxw/status/800385886479323136?lang=en S

The man had a picture taken once with a MAGA hat. That does not make him a danger to society. Most likely no one but the person who so venomously reported him would even know that he is a Trump supporter during the conference. This is all l

Wouldn't the MAGA hat wearer bring diversity to the meeting as well? I for one would be interested in learning why someone intelligent would support Trump. Look, this sort of thing is unsustainable. If you interact with a large group,
712.
by zarkov99 7y ago
Then perhaps you should not go. I am not threatened, nor do I think any one else is really threatened at all, in any reasonable sense anyway. Why should your discomfort trump mine and the MAGA hat wearers desire to interact in this venue?
713.
by zarkov99 7y ago
It is not threatening at all, unless you consider the existence of people who hold different political views threatening. In which you case you are the one who should not be out in public not everybody else .

How the on earth did the kernel community allow these parasites to become arbiters of morality? And where is Linus Torvalds? He surely despises this nonsense as much as anyone.

On what planet? Would you say the same of a Yang (MATH) hat? I loath Trump as much as anyone but this is utterly insane. We are not talking about Nazi imagery here, we are talking about a hat that supports the president elect - who by the w

Which problems exist that would be addressed by this?

I work in a domain where memory defects do matter, but with moderately disciplined development, that is no naked news/deletes, no naked array access, no locks, etc, we hardly see any memory problems in a high concurrency, high throughp

I do hope there are some sane people still left and that you grow some balls. Google is too important, too influential for society to afford its takeover by fanatics.

by zarkov99 7y ago
Maybe. Maybe you will see good people gravitating to companies where they can do good work in peace, without being bothered by the self virtuous.
