Exactly, and Jacek Karpiński is the perfect tragic example of this dynamic. It's worth noting that Poland was actually one of the least ideologically rigid countries in the Eastern…

It wasn't a lack of raw brainpower or wealth; it was a structural and ideological failure of resource allocation. The USSR and the Iron Curtain bloc had a massive population and wo…

But they simply weren't able to sustain it. In the West, while the military industry initially pushed computer development, private companies quickly adapted those technologies for…

Would prefer a 'Google Linux'—a native desktop OS with a unified UI philosophy, similar to a macOS experience but built on a standard Linux foundation. Instead of ChromeOS or Andro…

To be honest I had always a lot of thoughts about this how Rama would be filled with air.... I mean it spins, but how Ramas filled it with air? Central Sea was one of sources, but …

Still why especially for Pro there is still version with 24 GB of RAM? It is scary....

You know that there is no Facebook in China? The same for Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Even Google Search is not available in China. And not because those companies didn't want …

I was thinking more about -Xint, or in Docker, or x86 JVM, but my guess is that somebody already tested it ;-) Other thing is that one of developers in my team who is on M1 and 14.…

As long as you have some days in office for everybody it may work, but it should not be done in this way that some people are working from home, and some are working from office. L…

Yeah, but ask for developers to do better documentation and you will get angry answers ;-) Remote work requires higher seniority, more independence and more decision making on work…

In office yes, remotely not. Simply they are having a lot of problems, they can describe why this is a problem, they may miss Daily so there may not be an occasion to ask. It is al…

If something goes from higher ups it is constrain, team can try to squeeze into constrains, some people will be unhappy but this is something over theirs heads so they will be able…

Public company is accountable to shareholders, in case if share prices will go down shareholders will want to know why, and some activist investor may go to the court complaining t…

But it sounds better than "Sorry for terminating your positions but we need to keep our finances in check not to loose share values, and we are accountable for shareholders" (edite…

yeah, but in real world when this kind of problem will need to be solved people will most probably sort O(N logN), or use priority queue O(N logK), or even will go with something l…

I'm not sure. Yep, I tanked several interviews because even when I got info at the beginning that "we will look for your way of thinking and this how you handle problems" finally I…

To be honest I'm commenting only part with "f.. it I'm not longer working on it", I have ambivalent feelings to "lets change code in such way that builds will go into infinite loop…

Hmm, but as I understand original developer was rather pissed off by situation when devs are working on projects in theirs own time, and those projects sometimes become important t…

I used to love code reviews when I worked for Motorola in 2004, it was doing wonders, we observed showing up "phantom developer" where mix of inputs from different people was causi…

Maybe, but still this seems as vanity feature added because "It would be really convenient"... this wasn't something what was needed, but something what was added to make life of m…

When I'm using IntelliJ Idea on Macbook I use function keys very often. Having those on touch bar would mean need to look to ensure that I'm hitting F7 instead of F8 or F9 when Deb…

Yeah, so maybe governments should stop setting rules about right- and left-hand traffic? Private sector will be so much better on establishing non government standards... For examp…

Yeah, but how many business was using Google Checkout as only method of payment? This decision will hurt only those businesses. Rest of businesses using Google Checkout will remove…

@iamshs where you found info that Google forbidden MS to use YouTube API? I only read that MS said that Google didn't help them and that they don't have access to metadata. But I n…
