In software in general, the past is the future. Things were going great, then everything went to shit in the 2000'nds.

Also; end-to-end encrypted chats in telegram (they call them "secret chats") won't follow you between devices. A secret chat started on one device, won't be accessible from another. This makes them far less useful, and d

Telegram rolls their own non-standard crypto protocol as I understand it. This is a bit of a no-no when it comes to security. More importantly; chat's arent' end-to-end encrypted by default (I can't find a way to enable it in

Good for you, and good for OP. I'm really not trying to denigrate anyone, but OP is complaining that he doesn't get interviews. If his reviewers think like I do, using spans correctly in his html, and "playing the game"

Well, thanks for pointing it out. Either way; an insult wasn't a good way to end it.

I should add that this is not meant to discourage you. As always in life, you have three options: 1. Be good. 2. Get good. 3. Get out. I'm not saying you need to take option 3, I'm just saying maye option 1. is out of the question

You might not like this, but here are my honest thoughts: You seem to be selling yourself as a web designer, but your website is terrible, and so are it's contents. I realise this is subjective, so I won't try and justify my thoug

Interesting. So for you the change was on desktop, not laptops. What changed you mind wrt price? I wasn't under the impression that apple computers have gotten more expensive than they were before?

Are there any of those just-now-or.recently-switching devs in here? It would be interesting to hear their opinion, rather than guesswork.

Serious answer: Because many developers regard assembly as some sort deep magic only understood by elder gods. This, of course, comes from some vague (and not entirely correct) understanding of "assembly" running beneath everythin

I don't like the aluminum bodies (as a matter of taste, I think they are ugly). But carbon fiber isn't functional. I've had a carbon-fiber-body laptop for ~3 years now. In that time, I've had to replace the fan twice. My

Never heard of gatling either. Thanks. How many local machines did you need to hit the "breaking point"? Seems like local bandwidth / available machines etc. could quickly become a bottleneck.

Well it's not like it's an uptime-critical service or anything, so several hours of downtime and non-responsiveness is no problem. Oh, wait.
