Well I have a stalker. Lies. BSODs are Kernel panics. These happen in every OS. They can be caused by failing hardware, iffy drivers etc. Are you going to claim that you never had hardware fail? never had a dodgy…
Oh great a comment pyramid. I am not going to answer this point by point because I will be here for the next few days. > Meanwhile, millions of Linux users have no problems with Steam or Dropbox. But you have…

1) The problem is that not every company has the resources to maintain its own fork of the code base. Some of us are one man bands, work in quite small teams of less than 3 or 4 developers. This idea that people have…
This attitude is just an excuse to hand wave away genuine criticism of shoddy engineering. After yesterday's NPM fiasco sorry but it is your project. You should fix the problems or don't release it out in the world.
> That's preposterous. If you downloaded a random MSI marked "Windows [your version]", installed it on Windows [your version], and it crashed, you wouldn't blame Microsoft. No. This is the fundamental misunderstanding…
> This is a problem with Slack, not with Linux. This the attitude I always get and it stinks. I have sitting on my desk at home an Amiga 1200 (released in 1994). I can download a lha archive with a program in it,…
> You are contradicting yourself here. No I am not. I was just saying that the only thing I've hadn't have work out of the box was some dodgy PCI card from China. It is literally the only thing in the last ten years…
It doesn't work well OOTB. This is just incorrect. I've been using Linux/Unix for about 20 years now. There are still loads of things that just do not work and I really expect them to work. I am not talking about…
The problem is not whether YOU use the advanced features. It is whether someone else does. I generally don't require any better than Markdown and for larger documents I just LaTeX. However I am normally sent work…
None of the parties that are involved in Linux actually care one iota about the desktop. At best it is a side project. It is phones, servers and embedded, Only a very small percentage of what is a shrinking market uses…
Firstly Be above the politics. Do your job and just be yourself and be nice and polite to your work mates. You lack communication. When you get a crap spec like the ones you have obviously got. You should reject it with…
A slight aside. I had a really good coding assignment once. It simply said "Make a working clone of this webpage, zip it up and file it to us". I could have just nicked the jQuery code (this was before a lot of the…
In my general experience. I think with younger men in their twenties it can be a little difficult if management lets them get away with being a bit too unprofessional. They wanna prove themselves so sometimes a bit too…
TBH mate. It seems you are incapable of having a sensible discussion about any of this. You seem to use your own definitions to words that don't match up with any sensible term that can be found online anywhere and then…
Critiques of Capitalism was specifically mentioned, Marx is pretty much the most influential one. Capitalism has brought a huge population of the world out of poverty in the last century. Wars over resources isn't…
I normally just wanna hack out a problem first, work out for myself what the short comings is with my first approach and then make all the relative changes.
If the test is like that I have zero interest in working there. This is for two reasons 1. I don't like silly games in interviews. You aren't respecting me or my time before I am working for you, you aren't likely to…
Programming culture is not hypertoxic. Maybe it is in the United States in the UK pretty much everyone just sits down and gets on with it.
Personally I can't stand these tests either. I normally complete them fine. However I've been to job interviews where they force me to code live in front of several people and I couldn't get half a line of code out…

Also as I previously replied to your original statement capitalism != corporatism. The large tech companies should have been broken up about 5 years ago. The only reason that any of us have job is because capitalists in…
Capitalism != Corporatism. We have a problem with corporatism not capitalism. Please learn the difference.
Ximian and then Xamarin implemented it with Mono. Yes I am sure that it takes a lot of time, but anyone who is willing and able can do it there is no-one stopping anyone from doing it. The spec is open, the source code…
