For me the absurd part was this one: "Philip (President): Our factory is underutilized by 10%. Either we start building more of our backlog or we lay people off. I'd rather keep ev…

I find surreal how much people underestimate how big is the population that deals with those unicodeerrors. It's SO MANY FUCKING LANGUAGES AND SO MANY PEOPLE. The majority of the w…

I came here to say the same thing. People really should read more Feyerabend, it's fascinating.

Yes, but that's something a lot of people are arguing here and I agree. The "I could build in a week" is ridiculous, but "I could what this 1000 engineers company do that with a sm…

Why the quotes? "The americas", it's not written like that in the original tittle.
