Bing and Cortana, the two most important and best working Microsoft products.
ok so no emoji in comments I guess
of course it's possible with a rigid arm, it's a super common circus act.
Do they have cloud budget?
Slow dev machine is a deal breaker for me. I ask about dev machine quality in the interview bc I hate being bound by the machine I'm on. It's hard enough to focus on tasks, if I'm constantly having to take coffee breaks to compile things that shouldn't take that long it would drive me (more) crazy.
Go back to SMS! all is fine!
(mostly joking)
Wasn't the British government about to start an ad campaign to get people to stop using enciphered messaging?
they objectively are? I think it's lazier to think nothing can be done about it
Pretty sure crypto.com doesn't actually hold some of the stuff they allow you to trade. Chia coin would be the example, they allow you to 'purchase' but not withdraw it to your own wallet.
Why blow the interesting stuff on generic targets
I am an atheist. My spiritual practice is being there for others in my life when they need someone.
Yeah, which community?
I'm glad you had a place to hang out with your neighbors but lobbying by religious groups in the US have real negative consequences for a lot of people.
I work for one of the OS makers and we have been making a concerted effort to get rid of memory safety issues across the codebase. I'm not sure if the open-source side of things are attempting similar efforts but as far as consumer OS's I have seen a lot of improvement over the last 10 years.
I feel bad for anyone working in an org that doesn't have the ability to proactively find bugs in their stuff. Lots of places are cheap and don't account for the debt they accrue by not updating their systems. 'if it aint broke don't fix it' doesn't apply to software. What you are shipping is always broken. 'safe' languages are written in unsafe languages. The interpreter has bugs, the vm has bugs, the virtualization stack has bugs, the OS has bugs, the libraries to do everything have bugs. What is there and what is known are both moving targets. If you are not hiring the offensive minded individuals who will find the bugs with or without your support then you will not know about the bugs until they are out in the wild. If you aren't willing to pay those people you are accruing debt that will come due later.
That doesn't make the problem go away it just pushes it onto some other unsuspecting person
Wouldn't be resistant to censorship if you could prevent people from putting videos you don't like on it, would it?
Pretty sure it took two tries also
If only they had the power to actually enact legislation
This assert doesn't work like you think it does. If the computer is off is_computer_on is undefined, so if this is called when the computer is already off it could return a nonzero value, thus resolving to true even though the computer is already off.
There's a syscall to check whether the computer is on so just call that before this and you'll be fine
It is so hard to tell people about using Linux, how great it is, it's free, etc, and then you get to the name part and it's called 'fedora'.
> I think healthcare in the US is riddled with ways to "accidentally"* spend the entire accumulation of your wealth, leaving absolutely nothing to the next generation.
That's not true, the money isn't just lost. The money is passed to the children of the person who extracts the money from the sick people. It's by design.
giving new meaning to 'move fast and break things'
That's like most of what cops do in the US

Really looking forward to this bubble bursting.
IBM is the Kodak of computers.
Computers should be noisier is an interesting take.
I can't tell you how much of a relief it was to have finally have a computer with solid state everything, an insulated case, 120mm fans. Turned it on, silence. It's good for recording sound, it's good for anyone else who happens to be in the room.
Why sound? why not just a.. oh idk. disk access light? Maybe add other little leds for other stuff?
