At least I imagined they would at least test it on Alaska or some other snowy region of America, but I guess they were in a rush.

I had a similar experience. I only moved from xfce when my nvidia board kept killing my X session in creative ways. I'm pleasantly satisfied with kde, but I only have high praise f…

Nice try, I'm still not going to write scala code.

To answer the question in the title, I don't think that Microsoft is even remotely trying to commit suicide. I think they realized that they are so freaking huge that they can nuke…

Cool tip! I learned that reading other people's code and seeing how much they could get done with far fewer lines of code and much faster than I cause they didn't over-engineer fro…

I understand that binary libraries can be owned by a different company. But if you strip all that could the resulting code still be infringing the copy rights of third parties? I n…

If my freelancer friends are anything to go by. Many companies, including some big-ish ones, will go with what's the cheapest option that looks good enough.

I think that your law of convenience is spot on. One thing that got by talking with commercial systems devs is that they are always under pressure by their clients to make their sy…

Great stuff. I hate having to write bash scripts and this seems like a great way to create scripts that will run on even old linuxes. Seems that there are a few sections missing in…

Yeah modern people go to extreme lengths to do the most out of reach graffiti https://www.observatoriodoespacopublico.com/post/olhares-uso...

I've spent a good amount of time (and money!) trying to replicate in me the joy that other people seem to have playing games on phones. Then I discovered novels (stupid, I know) an…

My initial reaction to the first few excerpts from neohaskell's website was: "Wait?! Are you guys already forking Simple Haskell[1] before Simple Haskell even has any traction??" I…

Ah right, thanks for pointing that out. For some reason I read it as several emails sent from tech giants addressing the public concerns about themselves.

Isn't that article just corporate propaganda?

it would have been nice if the text box would have remained focused after the message is sent

That's a pretty invasive question don't you think?

Tons of bug fixes with no new features makes me very happy

Docker is my perfect example of a OSS being poisoned by excessive money. OSS needs money to survive but too much of it (a too heavy burden to turn a profit) can poison it leading t…

I find that super easy to read, thanks!

I think that a lot of the discussion of python problems is steered by the infinitely many python book writers and course instructors that have profited significantly by the current…

I feel like the timing is more related to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17706997 It may be just a coincidence but I have started noticing that very often when a compan…

I really wished snaps worked well on most distros but as of now I always run into a bunch of bugs when installing stuff from it.

Same, but then again I'm only part of 3 groups and I'm hardly ever available to talk on it. I just call back almost every time.

Yeah a coworker told me she had developed a super sophisticated encryption technique to write in her diary because her brother would keep decrypting it lol

As a user/developer how do you even mitigate against this kind of attack? Audit all source that you or your dependencies use?
