Elon might want someone like her...

No, absolutely not. There is no "IT insists" in our company. Believe it or not we trust our people to do the right thing and to handle their equipment accordingly. There are a coup…

What kind of numbers would be acceptable to you?

> staff always want a refresh regardless if the laptop is good enough or not My personal experience disagrees. A lot of colleagues are absolutely happy with keeping their machines …

What exactly does "heavy use" mean? My MacBook Pro is now in its fourth year of daily development work. It doesn't show any kind of wear. So far I don't see any reason to replace i…

> I still believe I qualify as a nerd. And you absolutely should! There is not _the_ nerd archetype and never has been.

And why exactly do you feel obligated to mention that? Do you have a problem with porn? Why?

Life finds a way...

> I know if the potential ulterior motives. And you think the US tech giants don't have any ulterior motives?!

Well, I'm all for making money but the way it was tried here sounds like a pretty bad idea. Developers (or power users for that matter) aren't really known to be generous with thei…

The test says that I'm 66% German. As a German I'm not really sure how to interpret that :-)

> Do your own assessment. Yeah, and my primitive home-grown analysis then carries the same weight as those from experts with professional equipment? Oh come on...

I ceases to be legitimate.

The sheer amount of what you _might_ need later in life has proven to be simply too much for the time we usually spend for "overall education". I'm completely with you in that we s…

> People die in car crashes. We can't eliminate those altogether, but at least we can take steps towards making things better, instead of telling them that maybe they should just n…

How would you ensure that the "average user" actually gets to the page he expects to get to? There are risks in everything you do. If the average user doesn't know where the applic…

Which 30% are you talking about? Taxes? If so: From what do you build things like infrastructure?

For me it's the opposite: If I had to write the code that I usually use lambdas for in any other way then _that_ would be very difficult to write and to debug. Especially when writ…
