As long as homeless people have to spend the night in tents in cities like SF or LA, I wouldn't talk so big as an American.

> Due to Microsoft Windows' dominance in desktop operating systems, Windows is the platform most targetted by spyware, viruses, and ransomware. What a stupid reason is that?! It re…

You just can't trust any Google product anymore. They shut down your account by mistake and it's almost impossible to get it back. Or they shut down an entire service and all value…

If you know Accenture you also know that they love to hire fresh graduates and put them on projects as quickly as possible. Needless to say as a developer coming directly from univ…

Azure has an excellent product support, at least compared to GCP.

Wait, so all that text just for telling us that a company - driven by capitalism - is not giving away cloud compute power for free? What a surprise! And AWS is better in that regar…

Media productions are daughters of their time. We currently have a situation where the elite in Hollywood are desperate to bring diversity and blackwashing into the stories. When a…

Because it was mentioned in the article: I looked at the resumes on the Forbes richest people list and found not a single person among the top 100 who came from poor circumstances.…

> Believe me when I tell you that I could have worked on the entire software myself in 5 months. I find this way of thinking very short-sighted. It may be true that this applicatio…

That blog post doesn't state that _all_ collected data through Crowdsource will get published.

Crowdsource by Google aka "Help a billion dollar company to create datasets for free"

I really hate when fellow devs say things are "simple" like Casey Muratori said in the first place. Nothing is simple in the software (and hardware) world! If something seems simpl…

A pretty one sided view. I use Windows terminal because it supports multiple tabs - multiple cmds and some WSL bashes. I don't care at all if this or that terminal uses a bit more …

Agree, pretty unfriendly tone. I would expect from a more senior developer that he or she has a high enough social intelligence to understand how to confront others with their find…

On the one hand you have idealists who think the most important thing in the world is getting the last bit of performance out of every program. On the other side you have businesse…

One argument critics bring in I don't understand is that Bitcoin is too volatile to be a currency. If a zoned market solely accept Bitcoin and a good costs say 1 BTC, why does it m…

Nothing is democratized here, this is pure marketing.

Every time I see posts like this or about Taiwan I'm happily upvoting. I'm a big fan of the Streisand effect.

I claim the opposite. I believe that people who "make most senior devs of FANGAM feel clueless about programming and engineering" absolutely are able to quickly install tools like …

Amazon treats employees like soulless robots. This already starts when you apply there (as a SWE) and instead of talking to people you get an automated coding test.

Imagine this would be the case for physical stores and only 2 companies in the world could decide what products you are allowed to sell. You start a coffee shop and 1 day later a r…

As still so many people don't get it: 1) Don't make your business dependent on Google 2) Don't make any of your data dependent on Google (don't use Gmail, Workspace etc) 3) Don't m…

Maybe it was the intern's fault to set a weak password but it is the CEOs fault for setting up an organization where things like these can slip through security review or monitorin…

I think the biggest problem about Google is not privacy. It's their way of ruining all sorts of businesses by offering services for free which only works because they cross-subsidi…
