Sorry for not answering your question, but asking how to not let something do your work for you not be so exhausting is like listening to a billionaire complain that they have to i…

Yeah I wouldn't like this in a code review. Add one more line of code so I don't have to investigate foo(). That's my fundamental gripe with C++ int i = 0; function_0(i,...); ... f…

Reading this makes me wonder if Easter eggs are ever appropriate for something as ubiquitous as man.

And yet, none of them work with std::regex etc.

I don't care until they stop pretending Unicode doesn't exist.

It's not as bad as JIRA, although JIRA is marginally more useful than LinkedIn.

I'm still waiting for C++ to support Unicode properly.

Rusts tradeoff is awful. People organize struct members in the logical ways in which they will be accessed. Rust just decides to do things different so they can say they do things …

Why is rust allowed to reorder fields? If I know that fields are going to be generally accessed together, this prevents me from ordering them so they fit in cache lines.

I heard they changed it to 5Rs. Refuse, reduce, reuse, recyle, rot.

Nope. If someone did that it should be reported if it's against the rules here.

I've had two accounts. I changed because I don't like the history (maybe one other person has the same opinion I did?). Anyways it's pretty obvious why this is an issue. Microsoft …

Can they use Github to their advantage to maintain a monopoly if they are nefarious? Think about it.

Companies used to be forced to sell parts of their business when antitrust was involved. The issue isn't the downtime, they should never have been allowed to own this in the first …

What antitrust issue does my open source software have?

Take it away from Microsoft. Not sure how this isn't an antitrust issue anyway.

Perl was written to write more complicated bash scripts. It's so seamless to call and handle shell commands and the first class regexes make it terse in a way that's appropriate fo…

Just say Google. The need for keywords plastered everywhere (often hidden in the HTML) was their invention.

I guess package managers win in the end. I got two emails from my IT department in the last year telling me to immediately update it.

I wish the people who wrote this let us know what king of codebases they are working on. They seem mostly useless in a sufficiently large codebase especially when they are messy an…

What kind of comments did you expect other than the one that was borderline racist with plausible deniability? What's a good conversation in this thread?

Nope. Only nonviolent crimes. Anyways I was just trying to draw a parallel to corporations doing harm.

Hustle comes in many different forms. Some people just start evil companies in their garage.

I would put Disney in there. I picked 8 arbitrarily but those companies have substantial pull in governmental regulations and the state of the web. Probably missing some Chinese co…

I paid 1 buck for WhatsApp back in the day. Better business model than what meta did with it. But we're moving closer and closer to 8 companies controlling the world. Both WhatsApp…
