You don't see how that's an even larger barrier to entry than just picking an existing home server?

If 15 years ago you would have told me that we would be arguing with our computer in the future... I would have probably believed you

I'm not taking any pride in that statement. I'm just trying to highlight how because of the way our culture is, these sorts of texts are relatively tame. I'd actually like for us to get to a place where violence is not ingrained in our society.

You also have to realise most lot of people here are not sheltered. We've experienced post election violence first hand in 2008, tribes killing other tribes, we also have a culture of burning petty thieves alive. We experience violence first hand. I don't think violent text is going to affect anyone the way you think it is.

To put it in perspective, the average income in Kenya is around $1.25 an hour and tbh (as a Kenyan) I really can't see it as a bad thing. A lot of people here live in abject poverty, they live in situations you can't really begin to imagine. So any sort of help coming our way is good.

Bad stuff:

1. There will be a lot of infrastructure complexity in the kernel, just prepare yourself for that. Even worse bugs! You'll be fixing a lot of bugs, or looking at a lot of bugs, and most of these bugs are from other teams who are interacting with your component! Just order a copy of Windows Internals and get yourself familiar with how thing work.

2. Old ass engineering systems. Just as the interviewers said you will spend a lot of your time waiting for Windows builds.

Good stuff:

1. Work life balance is amazing actually. Most of the time there's very little pressure for you to get work done, as long as you're doing something no one really bothers you.

2. Since you said you hate designing systems, good news, everything has been designed for you! Your, job will mostly be implementing new features for a component.

3. Windbg is actually great and I will die on this hill. You might have to print some debug logs but you won't be looking at metrics because there's whole teams dedicated to doing that stuff. There's also tools which quickly spin up VMs for you to do some live kernel debugging.

Meh stuff:

1. The pay, could be better. That might change soon though.

Nice straw man you've got there. These employees weren't "incoherently yelling in all places at all times". They distributed a memo which criticized Elon. This should be very acceptable behaviour to a free speech absolutist like Musk.

These are children that think they can just shout down leadership and suffer no consequences.

Exactly. Although, it's hypocritical of Musk to fire employees who criticize him but criticize Twitter for banning/censoring accounts for spouting opinions that Twitter doesn't align with. If SpaceX has this right, Twitter should too.

This comment is insanely cringey

Because ice is solid you can argue it takes less information because the particles aren't moving at all or in together in unison, so it will take less buts to encode.

Furthermore, velocity is also a product of direction as much as speed, so if you take into consideration a solid object may vibrate it's particles in the same direction while a liquid can have it's particles in infinite directions, you're talking about way more information you have to encode.

This is usually how I fall asleep.

GUIDs are extremely useful if you want to move and merge data around without having to worry about primary key collisions.

Pretty sure WSL is a developer tool, so "normal" would still need native apps, unless they go through the hoops of activating WSL so that they can listen to Spotify.

I think Microsoft is smarter than that, look at Github for example, people have largely forgotten it's owned by MSFT. They would have left Discord as a gaming platform and used it's tech in Teams instead. Teams is so behind Discord in all areas except video quality.

Yup, bravo, they got me too. I'm so angry.

4k will also absolutely destroy battery life, 3k is a good compromise

If I understand this correctly, the unassuming image/jpeg/png/gif/pixel is embedded in the email, it's the same color as the background so the user wont notice it. The image itself which has a unique link for each recipient, is hosted in the senders servers, so when they receive the request for the image, they read the HTTP headers for information such as IP address for location, depending on how many requests they get they can count the number of times the email is opened etc

Lol if this is intended behaviour, no one should use Telegram ever again.

I came from a third world country and internet was pretty expensive. For some reason, my provider made Facebook completely free. So in my free college days I used the Facebook developer echo API to make a HTTP proxy so I can browse internet for free. It was terrible, was only HTTP 1, so no web sockets, videos stopped randomly etc, but hey I could read Reddit.

I assume the Air Pods spatial audio update is setting up the release of AR/VR goggles or to support iPad AR.
