In my experience, the people obsessed with diversity are the real racists, except they've "changed" the meaning of the term "racism" to mean being born into privilege, and they've defined the most privileged people as…
I haven't read Accelerated C++, but these were good, at least intermediate guides, to the Go language IMO: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Addison-Wesley-P...…
It won't affect their profits, so I doubt they care. Compared to googles custom VCS, git vfs is amateur hour turned up to 11.
Exactly, the top comment in this thread claims MS is the only company doing cool things (which is 100% not true). The top comments in the Windows 10 thread yesterday were mostly people claiming "it's sad to see such…
>The Git community strongly suggests and prefers developers have more and smaller repositories. A Git-clone operation requires copying all content to one's local machine, a procedure incompatible with a large…
Why is that so hard to believe? America is run by Donald Trump. The problems with these companies is that developers aren't making technical decisions, it's executives who know nothing about computer science. That's why…
I think it's more naive to believe that large companies always make the right decisions. We see Microsoft make mistake after mistake (look at windows 8, windows vista). The only time they fix their mistakes is when…
Shhhhh! It's Microsoft, we're not allowed to have a negative opinion of anything they do on hacker news.
>the Windows codebase has over 3.5 million files and is over 270 GB in size So instead of cleaning up this mess they decided to "fix" git? With this type of thing going on at MS it's no wonder Windows 10 is more buggy…
Out of Jobs, Gates, and Torvalds, Jobs and Gates are some of the worst people to become part of the tech industry. Microsofts anti-consumer practices lead to it's world dominance and now the world is ruled by closed…
Disable spyware and adware. I don't think you can really disable all the spyware though. We're talking about a company that participated in the NSA PRISM program. That means that Microsoft has an agency within it that…
I didn't see any progressives (or conservatives) marching against the Obama administration. I'm sure they had some small rally, but look at what's going on now. Under Obama if you got detained at an airport (which…
I thought that when Trump won, the left would finally realize that being arrogant, lying, authoritarians was a mistake. Boy was I wrong. We're seeing thousands protest over travel restrictions from 9 countries,…
All editors support go really well, that's because go has official tools that integrate with editors (guru, for example). At the top of the read me is the feature list for the vscode-go:…
Agreed. Since VSCode came out there has been one gigantic circle jerk over it. It's "always" been better than sublime and atom, even though sublime and atom had been out for much longer. I've used a lot of text editors.…
Most HN readers probably don't even use Windows. I think it's objectively the worst OS for a tech enthusiast.
It looks pretty bad on Linux too. Somehow they managed to transport the crappy font rendering from Windows to Linux. It really feels like it's not built for Linux, but just shoe-horned in.
I'm not going to use an editor that Microsoft employees literally shill on tech forums.
>The business world has been even more recalcitrant. In a recent study by Softchoice, an info-tech consultancy, corporate computers were found to be running a whole gamut of legacy versions of Windows. Fewer than 1% of…
>Wealth has gravitated around massive city centers since time immemorial Well yeah, but there were times when wealth was more evenly distributed within America. When we first started taking in immigrants (when America…
This is the lamest argument that people use. This is a non-argument and I have no idea why it gets upvoted. You don't understand the economics of the situation. For one thing America isn't the only nation they can go…
If an interpreter is so rare that one can't be found in the US and they need to be hired internationally, then maybe it's worth it to pay $100,000?
Americas "tech dominance" threatens the breadbasket. The coastal areas, mostly certain cities, have become "international" and any worker from a rural area who wants to earn a living wage doing a technical job (e.g.…
Hopefully in 2050 our corporate overlords will still spend a week discussing how to patch vulnerabilities in our 3D printed food databases too.
That assumes that the sole reason America has tech dominance is because of international diversity. But we've always been tech dominant, and according to many people we're not even diverse.
