You are glad people are dying or losing their homes?

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/06/13/how-microsoft-lost... The bit about SimCity gives an idea of how seriously they took it.

Don't agree at all. Microsoft originally hoped that other vendors office type offerings would be good enough, they weren't (lotus notes) so Microsoft did it themselves. Bill gates …

Ha! This is pretty much what happened to me on my steamdeck the night before last. Login via GitHub or something nonsense. I was too tired, I turned it off. I tried a few years ago…

I see thanks :)

That was a good read. But I still thought anyone can take graphene os and put it in a phone and sell it? Maybe there is specific licensing restrictions in the android license that …

I have a 1660 super and I believe it is only a little less powerful than the ti. It definitely is not as powerful as a ps5. Though the original post is saying the bc250 is. I'm not…

What prevents this? I always assumed they could.

Yep, that's what I thought too. I contrast it with an accident and emergency consultant I know in the UK. He actually is grinding 70 hours a week and not compensated for it. He wor…

School shootings aren't carried out by the government. Crazy president democratically elected and criticised by a free press. Things that you don't like about a country are a lot d…

Are you saying the USA is somehow as repressive as china?

Ah, right, retro pc hardware running perfect dark natively. thanks for explaining;)

That port is amazing, probably one of my most played games on my steam deck. What is GL 2.1?

Also trying to reduce productivity to some thing as silly as pull requests per hour etc ignores valuable contributions else where. Design, push back, quality, mentoring, leadership…

I'm genuinely unsure why rebase interactive is more scary than rebase

do you tell people that you are talking to that they are being recorded?

It has taken me a few months to get productive with them. I did not pick it up easily.

I used to agree with this sentiment. But now I think they engage in some nasty practices, like not allowing developers to list their games on other online stores at cheaper prices.…

Ha! No it was not :)

My 16 year old question was recently closed because it didn't follow the rules. It just seemed really petty. Edit: just checked it has been deleted so no longer visible to non mode…

I doubt anyone from the UK would call their product or company "knob" these days.

I'm guessing they didn't run "knob" past anyone from the UK. Edit: as much as it pains me, this is hacker news, so, knob means cock in the UK.

Writing structures and clarifies my thoughts, writing code did the same but for software design. Yes AI types it all faster, but I've lost the clarity and certainty of my understan…

I'm guessing they won't do it because it will finally wake the public up to all of this, I.e. bad press + scrutiny. The law should be applied equally to all, it shouldn't be a popu…

I'm reading "where the wizards stay up late", and I was thinking the same thing. It's difficult to keep track of who is who but I'm pretty certain Cerf has appeared yet. I'm not th…
