This is the kind of shit I come here for. Awesome post! Thanks for sharing!

For things that do not interface directly with hardware it's great. I use WSL daily for development. The best part of any Linux distro is the terminal, I've ditched my Linux laptop for a Win…

I've always wondered what Torvalds's answer would be if you asked him if he had the chance to snap his fingers and have the kernel rewritten from scratch what he would change?

What about a Mac Mini Pro?

This. It's sexy but it's still basically a glorified iPhone. At this price it should be running full macOS.

I actively avoid Oracle and IBM and the companies that use their products when job hunting.

I think it's showing all the cracks in the US system. A large part of the country scrapes by, have no savings, have no access to healthcare, etc.

Same. I give my data to Google and I know this. I wish there were more transparency about the people I don't actually give permission to or there is no workaround. Credit card companies, web trac…

How dare they gain market share by putting out products that people want!

Yes. My idea is that Apple will do the compute on their iPhones in the user's pocket with a wireless connection between the two. The glasses will be an accessory to the phone. Perhaps their plan …

I know that at least the Google Pixel devices only charge when plugged in. The user has to manually turn on USB data every time they plug in. USB debugging is also disabled by default.

Apple should just buy them with their $200B cash on hand.

Microsoft's approach is clunky and unsexy that's why. You wear an entire PC on your head essentially. Apple's approach seems to be powerful iPhone in pocket, wirelessly talk to a dumb d…

I know they do- that's not the point. It's that you can goto a judge without knowing WHO you are asking for information on. The judge should have to see a suspect's name, information su…

The police have far too much power in this. The police should only have the power to name a suspect and then request a single GPS fix in a window of their choosing. Anything else requires more judges …

Shhhhhh ;]

I think there is far less surveillance than everyone thinks.

This wikipedia page makes a noise. I hear a buzz for only this tab and only this wikipedia page. Strange.

Maybe because Facebook doesn't tell you anything past "Lan Tim 2" so how do you know who to be angry with? Who is "Lan Tim 2"? What business or what transaction is behind that…

Why were stocks invented? It seems that stocks were not even invented for trading but for funding things. Being able to profit from trading seems secondary. The whole idea that stocks must rise foreve…

This was my professor's routine. His final notes almost look fit to publish as-is. They were immaculate. He would go over his notes from the day and rewrite them immaculately.

/r/wallstreetbets is one of those strange communities that provides nearly limitless comedy. Best watched from a distance.

This right here. My previous job was in defense and although it was not an embedded project all the software architects on the project were embedded guys used to doing things their way. Dynamic alloca…

Same. My partner and I have both let our Prime subscriptions lapse because of this shit. We no longer buy from Amazon.

It's interesting to see this along side a NASA job opening.

Exactly. I never connect mine to wifi, leave it on airplane mode, and use Calibre to transfer books.

Can you imagine trying to deal with that crap in an actual hot war when things are happening?

I disconnect from my phone after 6pm or so and if while doing my crossword puzzle I need trivia answered or something spelled out I can ask my Nest Mini and get no bullshit answers most of the time wi…

I was at a company that had no style guide or coding standards to speak of. If I raised the issue that we really should have a style guide I would be told, "I don't like other people telling…
