I am from Europe and I have worked with many Europeans, Americans and Asians. Quality of sub-contractor colleagues from India was, same as from anywhere else, directly proportional…

Which is very sad, if you think about it. None of that benefits me as a user, it's for their benefit.

If no government bans it and mandates Linux kernel to be rewritten in Rust (and all higher language FFIs to be compatible with Rust rather than C), it's here to stay.

As a GCC user I know that GCC has a runtime library exception in the license. This doesn't.

Looks great, however it's licensed under GPL. Does it mean that ALL programs in that language have to be GPL as well?

And what's the point of having Lisp if you can't use it? Unpopular opinion alert: Bigger companies want programmers to be replacible resources which means they need to have huge ta…

I think that many websites even nowadays don't need all that jazz and many would improve if less JavaScript was on them. How many times have you loaded a website only to watch a co…

I remember jQuery from it's heyday when we used it as a replacement for Mootools. Since many people are going from React to HTMX, maybe we've made a full circle and we'll see web u…

Exactly. I have been using git for my .emacs files and there is little I really miss from Emacs for editing files and even quite a lot of coding.

No, it was during a day. I had a trailer behind a bicycle with my then two year old son who wanted chips. So I tried McDonald's. Since there was no secure way to lock the bicycle (…

"Often refuse to serve you" means that they sometimes do? I tried to go through a drive-thru on a bicycle in Czechia and they told me to fuck off.

Thanks!

At the time we were reluctant to update even our linux servers. We had only critical security fix repos enabled and checked them once a week. No, we didn't update PHP unless strict…

Well, speaking of myself, I had always heard from managers that "people who work from home don't work", "it's more effective and efficient to be in the office", "you have to live t…

I worked for a tech startup, well, quite a long time ago. All of us were in the same office. In case of some HR manager reads it: by "office" I mean "office". A room with doors, wi…

I have a shit job (Python DevOps in tel. co. industry). No problem with that. Previous job was in applied research. Very interesting, unfortunately the work conditions and compensa…

Java programs might not run in debugger very well either, depends on where and how you place breakpoints. However I'd be glad if profilers (and notably memory profiler) would slow …

LLMs like (Chat)GPT won't take your job. Software engineering is a creative job. Language models are not creative. Imagine that instead of using SQL to query a database of knowledg…

Without Scala, Clojure or Kotlin this probably would have not happened.

Same here.

Sure. But I'm a software engineer who is finishing a Ph.D. in applied informatics (coincidently in an area of time series prediction using ML). I'm not a manager. When I mentioned …

The company I work for just jumped on the bandwagon and is actually searching for people with ML/AI experience. If you can use Spark, TensorFlow, Scikit and Keras, you actually hav…

Keyboard-driven UI on Android? Well, for the brave and true hackers (if you don't connect a keyboard to your android device which you can ... but why having an android device then?…
