I've sent you an email with my resume and you never replied back.

bcash is trash.

Yes, because vendor lock-in and all the bad things that comes from Apple makes perfect business sense. /s

You shouldn't buy from Apple, it's bad for your freedom.

If you cannot see anything immoral in Apple, or if you're unable to see anything immoral/fascist beyond murder and WWII then I'm not sure you're ready to discuss this subject.

I suggest you educate yourself on the matter, because judging by your comment, I can clearly see you're ignorant about the subject.

Sure, because Swift and Objective-C applications is all that matters. /s

This comment alone proves that Apple developers are a bunch of clueless idiots.

> OS X and iOS developers are pretty fine with the OS tooling.

That's because they are "fine" with anything Apple does, I guess removing ports wasn't enough for them to see beyond their own stupidity.

OS X developers have to be the dumbest of them all, if Apple tells them to jump off a bridge they probably would too.

They are blind for a brand.

Says the macOS user... did you even get a newer version of bash yet? I heard even Debian stable has a newer bash version than macOS.

That's good advice, I appreciate it, thanks.

I finally started understanding some of the code today, and things are starting to get better on that front.

I agree with you, I'll stay humble and play my cards well, being employed is more important right now than taking possible risks and losing my job.

> Are the people at the job nice?

Yes, they seem patient/polite and I can tell they want me to stay, but I don't know them personally and this work is remote.

> Do you have freedom to work as you please?

Yes and no.

> Do you have the time to take the code in a better direction?

This is something that I'm currently annoyed with, when I was implementing a feature and working with a coworker, we had to re-use code from another function and instead of just making some changes to the function, he asked me to duplicate the function (~650 LoC).

I suggested to just make some changes to the existing function and re-use that one, but my coworker didn't want to go that route and suggested I just duplicate the function and so I did, I'm pissed that I can't make my own choices and instead I have to follow his orders.

My boss acknowledged that the project is in a bad state and sometimes I feel they are testing my patience, he mentioned they plan to rewrite the project in another language so I can tell they have common sense, but I get the feeling this other programmer I'm currently working with is happy with the state of the project and is holding things back.

I've started boycotting Coca-Cola after reading this: http://killercoke.org/ and I drink Pepsi now.

I want to see a distributed/peer-to-peer social network with privacy in mind and free software implementations of this network, with no company to capitalize on the user's data.

I dislike that zoom.us requires a proprietary plugin.

I didn't know it was illegal, I will refuse to reveal this information for future interviews.

Thanks.

Good point, thanks.

Another Arch Linux user here, for stuff like Spotify, Dropbox, Skype I highly recommend installing them through Flatpak.

Some of these proprietary programs have dependencies that are out of date, so it's much easier to use flatpak to install these programs rather than messing with your system' packages.

I hope not, it will probably be all about blockchain this and that.

Font rendering on Linux doesn't suck.

Yes, it will and it's already working.

It always bothered me that Ruby isn't used as much as Python is used outside of web development.

I think Ruby is a nicer language than Python is in many ways.

Why did I get downvoted?

Butthurt Apple fanboys can't stand my comment?

HN is such a joke with these people.

This is why I will always use GNU/Linux on my computers, the freedom to use your own hardware for as long as you want outweighs anything Microsoft or Apple has to offer.

I won't take anything Coinbase says seriously until they implement SegWit.

While rspec is indeed nice, I don't get why most projects don't use minitest more. Minitest ships with the Ruby standard library and I much prefer the assert syntax over the rspec DSL.

Rails also uses minitest with fixtures by default, I migrated to it recently and I really like the simplicity.

Desktop: Dual-Core E5500, 2GB RAM (upgrading to 8GB soon).

Laptop: ThinkPad T450, i5 broadwell CPU, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD.

I run Arch Linux with i3wm on both computers.

Stick to Ruby, Matz will give us new Ruby this christmas, and he's the best mormon I have ever seen so that's a plus.

Install Linux on them and they'll become working computers again.

Yes, I fix typos and punctuation errors from time to time as I read the articles.
