If someone recommends me a subreddit, I would check it out. Reddit is not inherently bad. However, you have to understand a lot of us have a negative perception of subreddits, give…

Your points are completely valid, I get your frustration. But you are comparing against previous generations of MacBooks. I would like to know your thoughts when comparing against …

> In a place I worked, if someone left at 5:30 pm, the CTO used to joke "half day today?", even though the person came in at 9 am. In both the places I've worked, it's a common jok…

Oh, my God! I'm part of the problem!

> - early exits to hell that can only be fixed by rewriting What do you mean by that?

Wasn't Java problem a a branding issue? Java got a bad reputation of being slow and not looking native. Java apps looked like Java apps. Also, they were so slow that could actually…

Start there, learn English. I know so many potentially good devs that cannot be hired at good paying companies because of lack of English skills. (Speaking of Mexico, btw.)

>I suppose Uber could validate the GPS position of the driver and my phone and use that to validate my story, but I doubt they went through all that trouble :( For that, I assume t…

But it terrifies me that you say it like it's nothing and like this digital "purchasing" thing is something new (I am not disagreeing, on the contrary.) I have avoided and have nev…

Could you explain?

But it's not impossible to have some tool that records all of those interactions to reproduce later. A smart enough tool could record everything since you open the site until you c…

"frankly in 2016 I am afraid the average undergrad compiler course is part of the problem as much as the solution." What do you mean by that?

Here's the story Joel Spolsky wrote some time ago[1]: > Windows 95? No problem. Nice new 32 bit API, but it still ran old 16 bit software perfectly. Microsoft obsessed about this, …

I find that interesting. Could you mention some of those studies?

Do you live in Mexico? I understand if you don't, but if you do... wow! it's such a pain to carry a passport. My IFE is expired right now and I have been carrying the passport for …

Very easy to say, most of the times in health.

Well, the task of writing the compiler was given to an intern, so I would guess it was an experiment that ended up working well enough that became their strategy for supporting Uni…

I dont understand. Could you explain why?

Additional to the other responses, did you notice this guy wrote three books about one liners in awk, sed and perl?

I disagree, native looking applications, while "boring", at least feel natural. Every time I use an application with custom controls (which almost always look pillowy) I feel like …

Well, I do one hour commute in the morning, eight hours of work plus one to eat, then another hour commute back home, sometimes one and a half if there's traffic. That's eleven hou…

Well, if everyone is already using the pirated software in China, making it free means no loss in profit, but an increment in legitimate beta testing. I guess a free early release …
