> There are definitely key windows here for innovation driven by competition. Those were always there, and will always be there. The type of time frames people are getting anxious …

Yeah courage will get you fired. Whether it be about idiot product decisions, or about how your bosses treat your coworkers. That’s the consequence of letting sociopaths get in cha…

Not being buried under a backlog of work is one aspect, and the other is that the sheer _urgency_ of these efforts makes it look like companies like Uber could be displaced in a ye…

The fact that a company with such a ledger has trouble advocating for AI-maxxxing will make watching the "ur holding ur AI wrong bro"-reactions all the more hilarious.

These things are like a sidewalk having a ramp that was originally made for wheelchairs but then suddenly everyone uses it because it’s just a nicer experience with less chance of …

You say this as if Android has tens of thousands of useful/good apps. There’s probably 100-250 that you might _really_ want. Amazon can easily afford to pay each developer $1 milli…

If they create their own SoC with their own IP having their own system will make it easier to move forward, as they won’t need to share development concerns with a larger group (e.…

I mean, $800 is kinda cheap for self-worth, if we’re honest. Cheaper than a sports car or house with a view or own apartment or even one vacation someplace fancy. But yeah, ideally…

Something like: If I have a call with you once, theoretically I might have a call with you again in the future. If they use my content to train "your" AI that would improve our the…

Looks like MonoLisa, at a first glance.

Yeah, CLion

> Alas ... not for mistreating or overworking employees but for lying on the business plan. Business plan can be easily marked a “mistake out of sloppiness” if you don’t want to fi…

Yeah it’s all a big conspiracy.

> Would be curious if they live up to their own marketing. Do people really think that companies like Apple et al (who have a huge number of people following them eager to rip into…

I’ve seen that done just as a gesture of good will, in a "if it helps, we can spend more money"-kind of way, even though everyone involved knows it would just complicate things.

Right. The poblem is when you focus on and optimize for hiring excellent developers only. Then all the non-excellent people that contribute to the average are in middle-to-higher-l…

You do know that hardware and software teams are not the same thing, yeah?

Yeah, like iOS 13, Catalyst, and Catalina. It’s all rather amazing. Ship on time, ship all features that were announced, heck, their hardware teams can barely keep up!

It’s an enterprise full of hipsters that tell themselves they’re changing the world in order to be able to take the punishment (or to be ok with unethical work). :P

Ugh, that’s a bit of a catch-all arugment, though. Acohol addiction? Societal norms problem. Education? Societal norms problem. Going or a killing spree? Societal norms problem. Ba…

Looks neat!

First time I had that happen I quickly shut the door in the young lady’s face. Didn’t hit her, but it fell in place and she had to open it again herself. She was pretty unhappy abo…

> Wait, actually I don't give a fuck what you think. I'm busy helping people while you're busy calling me a cock. Fuck you. You so don’t give a fuck that you replied straight away.…

I don’t know a lot of people running Ruby services on FreeBSD, either. I’m pretty sure I know one or two who, at least, develop on Windows. But, yeah, noone’s stopping you to make …

I prefer the one I did http://drbl.in/cBbb But then, I am biased. :P
