I guess my history is almost opposite while achieving similar results. However, I get bunched in the same group and expected to feel privileged and guilty. I grew up in another cou…

Ok I updated the app and now it is not crashing! Thanks for a great product.

It was on MacOS desktop. I'll submit an issue when I get a chance to reproduce.

There is no way riot is less buggy. Try macos to macos Sierra to Yosemite voice call. It segfaults right away. Wire is buggy but generally works. The main problem with it is that m…

I was responding to a post about design, so this reply was about design. Yeah, it's a subjective opinion. Something looking good is also an opinion. What I mean by non-functional i…

I don't know. It looks non-functional and ugly to me. https://i.imgur.com/DmPKqhM.png This is in contrast to something like nytimes.com which is really well designed.

I also stopped using after 0.3 and tried it recently again to speed up some NLP code in Python3 and it hasn't been faster than Python3. Back then I didn't like the poor support for…

I feel sorry for her, and her story is probably an example of sexism at the workplace. That is when her boss says that Martin's style is feminine and that that is bad. However, the…

How would you implement graphemes compatibility if you can have unlimited number of code points combine into a grapheme? Designing an efficient storage solution for such text seems…

Thanks! Regarding food vs jobs, I think it's not a very good analogy because a) almost every job has a lot to it that could be interesting for anyone We are not limiting all jobs t…

The whole point is changing it in such a way that everyone "wants" to do these in-demand jobs. Chinese students aren't unhappy with their job choices. Edit: I think the easiest way…

I think treating (1) by lowering requirements is bad because now people will stereotype that that person got there on ez mode. (2) is bad because people will inevitably make accide…
