That 1 Windows-only program they use is probably not compatible with the next version of Windows too

No it probably is, Microsoft puts a ton of effort into backwards compatibility

Oh man a Chinese-owned company crushed a labor union? Who could've seen that coming??

Perhaps the only thing she ever contributed of value to literature was Anthem, which is the archetype for the young adult post-apocalyptic fantasy novel. However, the prose is so strained; every pronoun in "we" or "us" and nobody has names so she names a woman with blonde hair "The Golden One" like she's some kind of "chosen one" prophet.

Still, I think it would make an excellent basis for other stories if you just let the MC go back to collectivist town and blast the council away with some gun he found in the ruins or something

Pokémon Go to jail for haram behavior

I could but I'd still be getting the same Firefox which has a nagging incentive to cooperate with advertisers and google. The benefit of having to pay for software is that their revenue stream comes directly from me and not from a 3rd party. It's not about supporting the developer for me, it's about knowing that the product I pay for is the product I get

If its an application I run locally, I rarely grep logs (they're small enough that I can just ctrl+f). If it's something running in production with millions of lines of logs, then I agree

I wish all the logs at my company were as beautiful as these terminal logs

Sure, look at their personal projects. I'm just saying the maintainability and quality of the code and speed of iteration is more of the point than how impressive the math is behind an ML algorithm. I've just seen a lot of ML engineers/data scientists who really suck at writing maintainable code

I got a simple Casio for my birthday and I don't think I'll ever need another watch, unless I lose this one. People say "oh it tracks how many steps I took today", but I don't know why I would need to know that information

I know I'm in the minority but I would pay yearly to use Firefox. Not sure how much I'd pay, but I am getting into the habit of purchasing software instead of allowing it to purchase me

I honestly don't think that doing these cool things improves your odds of getting hired. Junior Devs don't really touch these parts of a platform, let alone lead development on them from scratch.

A valuable engineer, to me, is someone who writes clean, maintainable code and follows common patterns. That's also something which has to be learned by trial and error to actually see the value of.

I literally have no clue what the point of these devices is

Gog is not in the bridge building business though

Build more homes. A lot of housing regulations tend to make things worse

Meen pronoons err sit/hans

Because Linux still makes up a small % of PC Gamers, so CDPR hasn't prioritized it. Plus they'd need to have some kind of proton-like middleware (or just proton) for the majority of their games (which are mostly 15-20+ years old) to be playable. It seems like a large engineering challenge for a company which isn't nearly as wealthy as valve

Would love for squenix to bring back Anachronox

The incentive to build new housing is to then turn around and sell that housing, they don't need an incentive, they need permission.

No, it's because of a lack of new supply. Most houses are owned by the people who live in them, not land lords
