Foreigner living in Berlin. Ticket inspectors are civilized and polite. Altercations and provocations are rare. Given my observations, I will take this news report with a BIG pinch of salt rather than assume discriminatory behaviour.

15-16 inch is my comfort zone. Anything else is too small and my eyes hurt and bigger than that is unwieldy.

CloudFormation, with its HORRIBLE YAML templating (whatever dsl/language) and arcane error messages is a horror story. I hate it so much that I'd rather quit my job than debug why CloudFormation decided for no reason to update my

You can be a good Developer AND a nice human being. The choice is not either or. That is the goal one should strive for, not to decide between shooting down a PR or checking-in bad code into the repo.

But isn't BBC itself a propaganda arm for the UK ? So now they simply hate it cause they have competition ?

Zerohedge is severely anti-Elon Biased. He might be at fault for many things, but this is just a first gen product that hopefully improves in the next generations.

hardware development as a service. atleast a virtualized micro-controller so that people can build tiny devices with sensors, peripherals etc like we build web apps on AWS. As a software engg. I'd like to get more hands on with process

I would differentiate between non CEO founders and founders CEOs. Non-founder CEOs are subject to the whims and fancies of the board (institutions). I am disappointed that Yale with 30 BILLION USD ! in endowments did not have the same impa

Individuals are more ready to take risks than institutions. To me this was the most damning indictment of all. Once founders leave a compnay (or an institution), as BalajiS says, they become a shell of their former selves,with the individua

Agreed, but irrespective of Librem/PinePhone, companies in general can build much better products when they focus on doing few things good than many things bad.

Unpopular Opinion: I don't want a Linux Desktop (XFCE, KDE, etc) on my phone. I don't care about being able to run terminals or `chown -R user xyz` or `htop` on my phone. I want a phone with a decently polished OS, smooth (given

``` breaking things up into small isolated components that can be reasoned about independently ``` - This is insufficient for the same reasons unit tests are not enough and you also need integration tests. The moment you cross namespace bou

I wrote Clojure for 4 years. I understand your pain points. Dynamic types are an impediment beyond a certain code size.

When you can't even define `AI` clearly, how do you expect to understand it and regulate it ? The draft law says any logic or knowledge based systems - This could mean anything from an if-else switch to a neural network. If waiting til

The classic selection bias. If the list of "top" companies is mostly software companies (which is FAANG++ at the moment), then how is it uncommon for a software engg. to lead the company ?
