Out of curiosity Apple M1 Chips being ARM-based (I own a m1-powered laptop) I... honestly haven't really noticed any slow down while using ffmpeg but granted I don't do encoding/tr…

I feel like if KDE really wanted to build hardware specifically for KDE then they would and SHOULD bring in Qt Developers (The QT Company) onboard for the best optimizations of the…

I may or may not be super knowledgeable on the subject have the KDE Slimbook team considered going full with ARM chips instead of the x86_64 processors? I keep reading how ARM is m…

I'm not really surprised at all this is still an ongoing issue. And by far I think people that work on the so called Human Interface Guidelines need to get off whatever ideology/be…

I didn't know getting coffee was a suspicious behavior :)

I'd lean that they are probably control freaks. But there's probably more to it than that and ultimately it seems it boils down to "I'm paying you to work thus it's my right to tra…

Thanks, I've never checked out Babel. I will truly suggest that to my lead, seems something we can take advantage of.

I believe so. I don't make a big issue out of it... but anything carrying the word const I expect it to be fully read-only with no "buts" in between throughout the whole execution …

That's amazing. I was just scratching my head about const when I read the article, "so what's the purpose if I can change the value... but I guess I can't re-assign the variable wi…

> Building a new React app with create-react-app requires 4304 directories and 28678 files. Finally, of course I don't consider myself the only person thinking about it but someone…

Yes. I'm fine with Namecheap taking the domain down. Handing information like that just because they ask for it? That's a huge no. Let them proceed through the legal channels to ge…

> We don’t want people to be deceived by these web addresses, so we’ve taken legal action. I wonder if they reported the issue first unless it's all for show. I've reported phishin…

It's.... a bit hard to define my current workspace. I do software development but a lot of that development is on legacy applications using some obscure API, perhaps a super old ve…

Sadly.... this was my conclusion as well. I'd rather have an iPhone(which I do, an iPhone X) than actually get a Android device. This is the case of going with the lesser evil.... …

It's been 2-3 years since I switched back to Firefox ever since I cut around 90% of Google out of my life, sadly I still can't find a good search engine where I don't spend more th…

Well.... I imagine it comes with the author's field? I've always been vocal about how much I suck at communication in both my personal life and work. I think I would have landed a …

How is this different from any other company though? It happens a lot where I live. You either know the higher ups through some sort of connection(school, event, family, etc) becam…

Then I have no idea what it was (phone brand), sorry. I just know with what I tried to troubleshoot. I'm not a fan of Alcatel.... or Blu. But translating what you just told me to n…

I usually just download and self-host for this reason. A software should never rely or be dependent to content delivery networks/repositories like Google Fonts. There's nothing wro…

I think it was one of those cheap Alcatel phones with Android One. I don't remember well myself but I'm pretty sure it was Alcatel. I ended up helping him getting a LG G6 and for h…

I'd say it heavily depends as well, a year ago my father had one of those phones featuring Android One and it wouldn't let you use it unless you connected to wi-fi and logged in to…

This has been my experience as well. I remember having a VPS with digital ocean a long time ago and it was getting hammered badly with bots. Changed the ports, made pubkey authenti…

I've recently felt this as well... not just the direction but architecture on how they are created from the scratch... Maybe in a few years after I get more experience in the busin…

I've done freelancing and I'm currently developer on a corporation. I've seen a lot of talent go in and out. Usually it goes out like this: - PM is seeking resources internally, yo…
