There has got to be more money in Linux than Windows since the majority of servers are running it. The problem is Linux doesn't see user experience as anything that is necessary. When it does (ubuntu, et al) it thrives....but many of

Because they realized they were in this together, unionized, not just demanded but fought for more rights and a better life balance. Since the baby-boomers more women entered the work force and used their "extra" income to buy th

I didn't mean to replace YouTube as a product specifically. I meant that this happened over 30 years ago between the networks and cable. Network TV dominated and cable had the same problem with attracting both views and content produ

Replace YouTube with network TV vs cable in the early days. There is a way past YouTube but people must be willing to adapt and/or take the hit building the next thing. Most of the best TV shows have been from network and especially

You fight it by taking the personal hit and run for office yourself. From my experience, the only thing you can really control is yourself. The problem is running for office is a pain and most people don't want their personal lives g

Check your diet. This happened to me when I was consuming large amounts of carbs for breakfast and lunch. I switched to keto and noticed the tiredness went away in the afternoon and I didn't require 3+ cups of coffee in the morning. B

I'd move closer to the jobs if they weren't so far away from affordable housing :( I loved it when I lived .7 miles away from work.

Honestly, this stuff just shows us how rigged the system is. This isn't the first time it has happened. Flash crashes caused by bad algorithms lost a bunch of money that was reversed as well. IMO, it is horrible to reverse this. Th

You can call it being cynical, but honestly it is just applying the past actions to a "new" medium. People have already created laws, regulations, and other utilities to regulate free speech in various forms (books, newspapers, m

Speaking of W. The people that are complaining about the Justice department getting politicized have completely forgotten that W already did that by firing a lot of people for political reasons. See Alberto "I do not recall" Gon

Wait..are you suggesting tax something because reason A in order to raise money for thing B where A has absolutely no relation to B? This is why people hate liberals. Why do we need to arbitrarily tax things? Let me guess these are thing

I agree as well. I've noticed many problems in my current organization but it is really telling when people are complaining about the same things I'm seeing. The problems really exist, people have fought to fix them and failed,

Sounds like you're listening the noise and not the signal. There were plenty of people that were against Trump before the election and now he is doing the things he said he was going to do. They have real reasons to be opposing him,

Does anyone know if any of the social media sites have release info on their relative bot counts? I'm curious because I've seen the same posts in different places and now see a ton of comments boiling down to "Source?" a

I'm just a dev but my solution was due to my laziness. I use Outlook/exchange with folders for different areas and then add rules to automatically move them to each area. Dev is for my team with sub folders for areas of the worl

If his press sec is any indication, he will only allow their narrative to be told which will more than likely be filled with lies and omissions.

Stupid managers that will then either go to conference rooms for meetings or into their own office. That's the way it works here. All of the devs & qa that need a quiet environment are stuck in cubes or open offices while the man

Is this really different than TV news? Most people stick to one network (Fox news, NBC, CNN, etc) and not only do they not watch the others but believe they are corrupt, fixed, and lying. The problem is we don't have multiple major ne

Unit tests do not even prove that unit functions correctly either. Code coverage doesn't necessarily mean anything too.

Either Indy or F1 recently had a 360 degree view of the race from the top of the car. I could imagine some fans would love that for all types of racing (NASCAR included). Just turn your head to look left/right.

I would wager almost everyone skews numbers at least part of the time. This is one of the main reasons we have regulation in the first place. They simply can't be trusted to do the right thing.

No, you aren't the only one that barely uses mobile stuff. My desktops and use of laptops is essentially required for my job (software engineering). I've seen 1 person switch to a tablet, but I'm not sure they have enough p

We had layoffs/firings here and that is what happened for a lot of people. There is no point in sticking around when the same moronic manager is kept around while talented, productive people are forced out. Many of us are only here u
