An expert on crisps maybe XD? i'm not really sure about your last point on investing in frauds, i guess they only care if and when the fraud gets exposed, they might purposely choo…

How have i never heard about this, will definitely give a try. What about a DAW integrated transcription tool, as a VST maybe, is it too niche? This is something i always wanted an…

Make it 7, there's also the Sentinel datalake or whatever now!

Rent, university taxes and all the other taxes are still due, i'm from the EU too and education is definitely not "free", freer than somewhere else for sure.

Usability, UI, that's not the point, my question is just how is it possible that an esteemed academic professional doesn't understand that touching anything that deals with "data" …

First rule of the world: "if you don't understand the implications, don't do it". How much are we willing to justify every wrong behaviour possible?

It seems you are desperately trying to make a strawman without any sensible argument, i don't personally think it is "snarky" to call things as they are, plain and simple, you, as …

The shame is not that he was so imbecile to not have appropriate backups, it is that he is basically defrauding his students, his colleagues, and the academic community by nonchala…

I'll explain you how it works: upper management needs urgent spend cuts in the next 3-6-12 months to get bonus -> upper management lays off N thousands people in order to reach goa…

Every year is the YOLD!

Not thanks to Java or OOP, but despite it. You can thank my colleagues fighting Java in the bank each day.

That happened not by choice, but by chance and due to "OOP consultants" running rampant in the 2000s. Source: i have to maintain Java slop in a bank, and used to maintain Java slop…

Maybe cause he's like top 5 most influential computer programmers of all time and knew to be a super human workaholic?

98% of regular personal computer users still don't know what "a Linux" is, unfortunately.

Not sure who supports OnlyOffice, but i know it's on the north-east of the world. Apparently they have quite a bit of bots/shills in this page right now XD.

Man, you are making too much sense, somebody is going to have his feelings hurt by your words. Management is now trying to have even more control on the people that actually do thi…
