In 1980 - I’m expert in those 3 areas In 2020 - I’m aware of about 10000 different technologies but not expert in anything

Every company from here to end of the universe in competition of who can have the most intrusive surveillance shoved down uses throats. It use to be enough to just wipe newly bought laptop to remove manufacturers spyware, but now it comes with OS itself and packaged into big browsers.

I don’t see anything super impressive that could be attributed to CoD developers. I think most of this really advances in hardware that allows more lighting, higher quality textures and more polygons. But even with all of that, this isn’t looking incredibly realistic. There are games and engines that done it little more convincing

Depends on environment. At work we have official corp communication platform - Teams. Most UI build for browsers and require a lot of complex JavaScript for render.

But most of my work is still done in terminal. Most project I managed ended up with very nice CLI applications, makes things a lot easier in the end, like automations for example. Initially specially younger engineers struggled with decision to build cli instead of web portals. But later realized how effective and productive the decision was..

100% agree with your opinion, the business model didn’t make any sense. Also as platform it wasn’t that grate either: lags, graphics quality and many more issues (not it’s not my internet). I’m glad they tried but suits failed the project.

Exactly that ^

I don’t judge all drivers. Most, majority are nice and professional folks. I’m upset how customer support handled the situation.

That issue isn’t only with Airbnb. Many other tech companies have poor customer service and more than willing to just ban you rather than deal with issues. Had incident with Uber. Driver came 30 mins late, she accepted ride, forgot to turn off her location and went to coffee shop. When she arrived, I didn’t say anything. She was rude entire ride complaining about other customers, traffic. I remained quiet. She quickly found out, pretty easy to hear from my accent, that I’m an immigrant. She started to complain about immigrants, immigration system and other nonsense like they took our jobs and how the one, back than candidate, would fix it all.

I left her one star review and very small tip.

Next day I got message that my account suspended. It took me entire day but eventually I found out that she wrote complaint to company that my wife and I physically assaulted her during ride. And based on her word alone it was enough to permanently ban me

DRM is insane concept. I haven’t yet seen one that would actually “work” but like other commentator said main goal is to be obstruction enough to prove that you circumvented copyright policy in first place and to add to that it makes big bosses feel safer.

As far as I’m concerned if you have something that is sooo protected don’t upload it to public web; to access anything you have to, first, download its contents, second - eventually decrypt/decode.

2 tea pots to this gentleman, please.

I’d say it’s all backwards default copy-paste should be just text and then you can go overboard with adding +shift to combination or +alt

I actually think the Robot devil is C, powerful, talented and dangerous. If anyone cares I would say The professor is assembly language.

Condolences to his family and friends. Man was hero, his action to undergo experimental treatment going to help the researchers.

Nah just need overhaul and better control, start with taking legal actions against patent trolls on federal level. People will always look for ways to make money with very little effort

Selling patents to trolls, what can go wrong…

That seems like dangerous and very anti-consumer practice. I honestly don’t like smart TVs in general, I haven’t seen one where you won’t end up buying a tv setup box, like Apple TV or Amazon firestick anyway.

Samsung you’ve done f up.

Saw or herd nothing. Haven’t lose presence. Only difference is now my eyes are tired, after looking at screen for 10 minutes without blinking.

It’s all depends on developer. I have talent to write really bad code in any language and make code as slow as I want. I can write code in ruby that would outperform code in C. The benchmarks like this don’t give you full picture of language possibilities. On top of everything we also need account for compilers and compiler optimization. Nothing against rust. I write ton of code using rust, and advocating at my work. But this looks like a PR move to me.

Is it just me or NestedText is kinda subset of YAML? I personally see very little advantage of using this over json or yaml, but having more flavors and variation is always a good thing.

Edit: forgot to mention. I personally don’t like most general data serialization formats for configuration, the one I can probably tolerate is XML, but even that I only use when it’s part of requirement. The way I usually implement program behavior configuration is through runcommands(runcom, .rc)

Money, they divided all the money company had in form of super high paychecks and bonuses.

Day job. Working during day, doing open source at night and weekends. Until very recently I didn’t have my own OS projects, but I did contributions to about 20 others. Now I begin to work on my own stuff and I hope eventually turn it into sustainable business to support myself doing OS 100% of my time

After giving a lot of thoughts I made a decided I will never have my own children. Which is probably very unfortunate for my family line as I’m the only child. I looked at the world we share and decided that it would be best thing I can do. What right do I have to bring another life to this world? I didn’t ask to exist, my parents made decision I wasn’t part of, I can’t do the same to someone else. I don’t see us having a higher purpose to exists... No one exist for a reason, we all die alone, best thing I can do is to take this world for a ride, and don’t make a mistake my parents did.

Don’t get me wrong! I’m happy for OP and everyone who has kids. It’s just me and my personal POV

Russian laws obligates all companies and individuals to provide government access to any data, hardware or applications upon initial request or better have backdoor. All information must be stored for minimum 5 years and provided in un-encrypted form or decryption mechanisms must be supplied.

I couldn’t agree more. And on top of that: How often you have to make an emergency bug fix? why do you need make constant fixes and patches? What do you mean by paid updates? Do you want users to pay for fixing a bug, that you introduced? Do you only test on your end-users?

I make my guest sign agreement before they enter my property... I don’t have many people visiting me anymore

In broad sense all investigation techniques are privacy invasion: surveillance, search, detention or arrest. I think we should let law enforcement use DNA sources. But it should be heavily regulated, and under heavy control.

Let’s say anonymous inquiry that just return yes/no and then you need court to reveal identity.

Answering all questions. One thing i left off is the reason why I was in hot water:

Everyone in our organization is really “rank-orientated”, I challenge their intellect and their baby they were proud of - it was foundation for our organization to even exist in company. Even though it was outdated, poorly designed system, that produced high percent of outages and heavy on maintenance. But it was not my place or position to do that.

From now on I moto “not my business”

Of course I did not just go and implement the change in production. I had put together PoC and documentation how and why it’s better, more error resilient and effective. The reason for just reaction was politics... I put my nose in other people business.

I made same mistake, I saw how old system underperformed and that I could make it better, faster, more stable and bring higher profit.

When I presented that my boss, next I know I’m in room with HR, my bosse’s boss and technical lead (who was practically executive director), to my surprise boss started conversation with “your actions concerning me...” they told me to give all the related code, documents and remove everything from my computer. After that incident I never got promoted, my annual bonus was always 50% of everyone’s. No one in the team wanted to talk to me, I was excluded from any design meetings. Eventually my whole team got promoted to principal engineers and all new comers were one level above me. That was the worst 4 years in my life ( I had to work for them because of the work visa)
