Until you dropped your screen on the drive way into your friends house and heard the magic sound a CRT makes when it implodes.

That's literally what it's for. Forth is the simplest language to get running on hardware which you have no idea how to program directly. Much easier than doing it for C.

Split screen was never a part of lan parties. The reason why lan parties stopped was because it was hard to move a tower around. Even during that period it was much easier to go to a lanshop and play there either as in lan or on the proto c

To anyone reading: don't just be a consumer. There are enough projects made for people who just consume. Emacs is still a project run for people who make stuff with it. Please go somewhere else if you have no interest in building anyth

No. Vim is a text editor. Emacs is a lisp interpreter whose dialect of lisp is specialized for text manipulation. In emacs the user interface is incidental to the main goal of programmatic text manipulation. In vim the user interface is the

The idea that Mozilla spends 1/500th of its budget on firefox is wrong. Just look at their fillings.

We could call that problem something fancy like the Byzantine General Problem and try and figure out ways to solve it mathematically.

People assume that empathy is something that nice people do. It isn't. It's just another tool. Back when I cared about liberal politics [0] one of the points I constantly made was that we needed to be sympathetic and understand co

Twitter doesn't need 10,000 engineers to keep running. I'd be shocked if a well designed system would need more than a hundred given the head counts as some of the places I've worked at. That doesn't stop Musk from killi

You want HFT experts because this is the definition of an HFT system. Those salaries even in Australia start at $200k for a junior developer and go upwards quite quickly. Of course OP thinks that $80k is a good salary for a developer so tha

Tall poppy syndrome is terrible. I've seen places which will rather hire 10 developers getting paid $80k a year than two developers getting paid $400k a year. You get what you pay for. The number of managers who will not hire someone g

If a job is meaningful you can get people to stay because they believe in it. I've done it for two projects. That said, twitter isn't that. I imagine he just want to get rid of as many people as he can.
