This is assigning an unearned malicious competence to Microsoft

You just sent me down a rabbit hole where I had to watch that scene and then watch the sequel scene from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

This is spot on to my experience as well. Startup employees seems to move in waves and being the first wave of employees at a startup usually means working the hardest and getting …

I don't think there is a hockey stick to chase in game development. At least not the way Jeff is doing it.

The main dysfunction I see with interviewing is that we’ve abstracted the interview further and further from what you will be doing day to day. Code on the white board? Why not on …

Sure, but if you sign into your Google account on any browser it does the same thing. It's not unique to Chrome. There are additional sync options that are available to Chrome, but…

Sorry to go off on you because this is a larger issue then your comment but seriously, can we hold this discussion to a higher standard? Prove to me that Google is tracking me thro…

While I think Disk Creator is awesome for certain I’ve never found that a fresh install is needed for macOS upgrades. They have maybe the best upgrade process in the biz right now.…

Wait, this doesn’t solve anything. They replaced BSD with MIT, which are basically the same license and then they removed any explicit patent grant. So this means the user is actua…

I think that is the assumption. I’ve never encountered a change list of files on Github. I still find it to be an odd requirement. I guess the intention is to keep people from misr…

I have been coding in Kotlin and using the interopt for various libraries. Typically you want to model things interacting with what Kotlin calls “platform types” as nullable. So fo…

I've never heard of this license before. Has it been vetted the OSI or the FSF? Also what specifically is bad about the Apache 2 license?

Yeah no problem

It's a noble goal, some thoughts on the license. I really wish it made clear that the license was irrevocable. I think the understanding in the community is that once you give perm…

Apache also has some weird stuff about needing to clearly mark modifications to the code that frankly feels a little unneeded.

I think this is mostly likely going to be out of your price range but my journey to find a keyboard like the Microsoft Natural with mechanical switches lead me to this, https://www…
