IMO do not submit unless you have an insidet referee. Even that does not always guarantee an interview, but still better.

They have long adopted the mindset to get users as free beta testers. Long gone the tradition that quality matters.

Just electronic signals, not true wealth.

Oh I rememeber in one of the games, one of the girls would say ganba ganba something at the end of each battle. I didn't understand it back then but I loved it.

Definitely commands better salaries than us pitty DEs.

I'm not sure how decentralization helps though. People in a bazzar are going to care even less about sharing shadow knowledge. Linux IMO succeeds not because of the bazaar but beca…

I kinda think most companies out there are like that. Moving fast is the motto I heard the most. They are probably OK with occasional breaks as long as customers don't mind.

Thanks, looks like fine for me at the moment.

I picked the same strategy for Windows. I remember I was still on 2000 when XP is hot, and still on XP when 8 is available, and now I use 10 and this is going to be my last Windows…

What does Asahi lack for M1 boxes? I bought a used M1 pro and is itchy to try it out!

Is it true there is a rumor about the next release being mostly a bug/perf fix?

Actually Windows would be much more lovely if MSFT keeps the Windows 7 core and just release security fixes and bug fixes. In the forseeable future, 64-bit should be enough. And I …

Having read Showstoppers a few times, I wish Apple had a David Cutler that mows on developers' asses if their code is too buggy. Kinda all large system projects need someone simila…

Can you please elaborate the str of Freebsd vs Linux?

Good luck!

I wish they do burn a lot of trust to show up in their financial reports. Otherwise it is like "we do not like it but gonna use it anyway".

I cold turkeyed once and did not feel much except for the first few days, probably because I am not a heavy drinker. However, I picked it up later because I always want to drink so…

Ballmer is definitely gold. I'm surprised Windows 2000 was not mentioned. That was the first Windows that doesn't crash very often and I kept it for many years, until like 2007 I t…

Yeah I agree with that. And I'd argue that it is still the same nowadays. People at the top probably knows clearly which interest group they are in, and which group they can rally …

I'm curious if there if any book or blogs that detail the design decisions, or the lack of, for some popular languages, from the perspective of language design and industry usage. …

I think MS SQL Server is fine? Office is good if you ignore anything after 2013...VS debugger is good, but VS itself is bloated. Meh, not many indeed. Anyway they adopted the beta …

Linux definitely has others to catch up. The only reason I switched to a Linux box is not how great it is for users, but 1) it is a dev box for system programming studies, 2) MSFT …

NT kernel is pretty solid and thr earlier NT kernel OS such as Win 2000 and XP are solid too. They definitely did not have the security features modern OSes have but security alway…

Taxing individuals will not make a lot of money. Tax holding companies as if they are humans.
