Well I have a stalker. Lies. BSODs are Kernel panics. These happen in every OS. They can be caused by failing hardware, iffy drivers etc. Are you going to claim that you never had …

Oh great a comment pyramid. I am not going to answer this point by point because I will be here for the next few days. > Meanwhile, millions of Linux users have no problems with St…

> You confuse your subjective experience with the overall picture. No it is a common complaint that has been happening for years (over a decade) with all manner of consumer laptops…

1) The problem is that not every company has the resources to maintain its own fork of the code base. Some of us are one man bands, work in quite small teams of less than 3 or 4 de…

This attitude is just an excuse to hand wave away genuine criticism of shoddy engineering. After yesterday's NPM fiasco sorry but it is your project. You should fix the problems or…

> That's preposterous. If you downloaded a random MSI marked "Windows [your version]", installed it on Windows [your version], and it crashed, you wouldn't blame Microsoft. No. Thi…

> This is a problem with Slack, not with Linux. This the attitude I always get and it stinks. I have sitting on my desk at home an Amiga 1200 (released in 1994). I can download a l…

> You are contradicting yourself here. No I am not. I was just saying that the only thing I've hadn't have work out of the box was some dodgy PCI card from China. It is literally t…

It doesn't work well OOTB. This is just incorrect. I've been using Linux/Unix for about 20 years now. There are still loads of things that just do not work and I really expect them…

The problem is not whether YOU use the advanced features. It is whether someone else does. I generally don't require any better than Markdown and for larger documents I just LaTeX.…

None of the parties that are involved in Linux actually care one iota about the desktop. At best it is a side project. It is phones, servers and embedded, Only a very small percent…

Firstly Be above the politics. Do your job and just be yourself and be nice and polite to your work mates. You lack communication. When you get a crap spec like the ones you have o…

A slight aside. I had a really good coding assignment once. It simply said "Make a working clone of this webpage, zip it up and file it to us". I could have just nicked the jQuery …

In my general experience. I think with younger men in their twenties it can be a little difficult if management lets them get away with being a bit too unprofessional. They wanna p…

TBH mate. It seems you are incapable of having a sensible discussion about any of this. You seem to use your own definitions to words that don't match up with any sensible term tha…

Critiques of Capitalism was specifically mentioned, Marx is pretty much the most influential one. Capitalism has brought a huge population of the world out of poverty in the last c…

I normally just wanna hack out a problem first, work out for myself what the short comings is with my first approach and then make all the relative changes.

If the test is like that I have zero interest in working there. This is for two reasons 1. I don't like silly games in interviews. You aren't respecting me or my time before I am w…

Programming culture is not hypertoxic. Maybe it is in the United States in the UK pretty much everyone just sits down and gets on with it.

Personally I can't stand these tests either. I normally complete them fine. However I've been to job interviews where they force me to code live in front of several people and I co…

> Yes, it's a feature of the real world system for which the term capitalism was coined by it's 19th Century critics, and it's been a prominent feature of every real example (inclu…

> Crony capitalism is an economy in which businesses thrive not as a result of risk, but rather as a return on money amassed through a nexus between a business class and the politi…

Also as I previously replied to your original statement capitalism != corporatism. The large tech companies should have been broken up about 5 years ago. The only reason that any o…
