Honestly, because its something that should be a prerequisite for starting the degree program in the same way basic algebra is a prerequisite. Likewise, not knowing you need to know this stuff is a sign that you are…
People are going to really dislike what you said but I agree to a certain extent, especially when it comes to the basics of working in the command line. If somebody can't read the manual on that and figure it out then…
I mean I agree with you in principle but that doesn't change the fact that as a CEO you are in danger of losing your job if margins compress that much and you don't make a show of doing something about it. Keeping…
Yeah not in the US, if anything the past decade has been very good for programmers when compared to other industries. There are lots of industries in the US that are more ruthless than big tech.
The difference is that one of those sets of standards is actually more of a file system hierarchy and API standardization thing, whereas the uni-desktop would presumably force a particular set of gui widgets along with…
This was a really insightful take on the Unix philosophy that I hadn't heard before but I intuitively agree with because of all the parsing code I've had to write.
I think you are on to something here. That's exactly what happened with smoking. Factors for that being successful was mostly just repeating the information about how bad it was a lot in the beginning. Once everybody…
The problem is the bar for quality has fallen through the floor and it has nothing to do with the amount of time it takes to develop something. If anything, it's likely to be of lesser quality the longer you wait…
This is really cool, surprised it has so few stars and I've never seen it talked about here. I like the LISPs but I've always thought not having a CPython type thing was a bit of a deal breaker for making it a go-to…
People are really out to lunch if they think this is due to people not wanting cars and preferring public transit. I wish that was the case, but it's 100% because of the dire financial situation.
I agree with you, but let's be honest, if you aren't already well exposed to that world then those docs are going to scare the shit out of you. They definitely are not "easy reads". The extent to which you are looking…
Hate to have to bring up the obvious fact that free association hasn't existed since the 1960s in practice, and in certain ways much longer. I think this is almost certainly a good thing, but it's disingenuous to…
Hitchens is still a liberal whether he is neoconservative or not because neoconservatism is a form of liberalism. Its just "liberalism in one country", or "great power liberalism" i.e. in the US context the constitution…
What do you think of the sabertooth/TUF series boards (if they still have them around)? I always purchased those because they seemed to advertise better components specifically, but maybe I was being bamboozled. Are…
Because big corporations buy the exact same things, you just market to them differently. Throw in various kinds of support contracts and "enterprise" whatever and you make much better margins off of the corporate…
I mean yeah that's exactly what the caginess was about.
I work on the infrastructure side (as a programmer, there are programmers on that side as well believe it or not) and this has been my experience as well. The last 10 years or so have seen outsize investment in the…
Lmao "seemed to be floating".
No, I think things are also worse but you have to understand there is a generation coming of age that never experienced paying for an operating system or really even paying any kind of substantial price for software of…
They've certainly managed to rehabilitate their public image. Not gonna lie I'm very impressed by Satya's leadership in that respect. I would probably prefer old Microsoft that was transparently evil though, license…
If aybody has tried Robusta (and you knew you were drinking it) please give us your report.
I would like to throw in Erlang and or Elixir with this. Not as stable as Clojure in the case of Elixir of course (or even just the BEAM environment tbh, certainly not as popular as JVM), but it's possible OP has…
I understand it, but I don't respect it.
The benefit of having something attached to your body vs taking a second longer to get from the phone in your pocket renders the value proposition of wearable tech pretty small in most cases. The easy sells have already…
Right but I agree with the above poster in the sense that the most relevant crime here is the extortion. Hacking can vary in severity from the totally harmless all the way to threatening the lives of millions. Leading…
