In my experience the Windows-Linux split is around 50-50, but I've only seen exactly two people with Apple devices in my entire life here. Western Europe.

Don't worry I'm European and 90% of developers I know think exactly like you (and me). It's just that the HN crowd is typically North American, and people tend to like what they have grown with.

As far as I know, Microsoft is the only big company I know that uses a gigantic, generic, combined EULA for all of its services at once.

I work in a Spanish university (yes, I'm a filthy academic) and just the other day we were running experiments using a research tool in relation to this new variation of TRL7. This tool is a genomic variation database aggregator that tries to act as an "oracle" of the clinical significance of the variations by running an AI algorithm on the harvested data. Very cool stuff, in spite of my area not being directly related to bioinformatics :)

The government also seized the healthcare competences of the autonomous communities, only to be revealed that they were incompetent, and make old people die in assisted living facilities.

Eh, there have been compaints from both left and right that the competences left to the autonomous communities have done more harm than good. To say they have not had a lot of competences is misleading, they do have a lot more decision power than in other countries. Spain is de facto very decentralized.

There is an all time high unemployment in young people…

Indeed, but unemployment overall is not the highest in the last years. You need to be specific when talking about data.

You can’t take the prices of the last year when many people started working from home, and leaving big cities, and hence rent has decreased.

Yet in most of other EU countries it has went up sharply. We're not doing as bad as you think.

Left leaning propaganda is pretty much alive in Spain, where you can’t criticize the left without being labeled as “facha” (as this case).

Honestly I agree with you here, but still, you can't say misleading statements that contradict the data. If we want to see real improvement the first step is looking at data and being honest about it.

I am honestly struggling to understand why this publication is even being allowed in a forum about programming, computers, technology and such. This is just old politics of a very specific country.

and most of the governments since them (and the current one) have been left-leaning (PSOE mostly).

False, they have been mostly alternating.

And now, in Spain, the COVID-19 crisis has shown the inefficiency of the government

We are vaccinating way more per day than other EU countries, having surpassed in total vaccionations the USA and Germany (https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations).

the unemployment is the highest in the last years

False, it's actually lowest than in the previous economical crisis (it peaked in 2013) and now there's COVID going on (https://www.epdata.es/datos/paro-espana-hoy-epa-ine/10/espan...).

and the price of buying or renting a home is high as ever

Spain is one of the few EU countries where house prices have went only slightly up this year, compared to the notable increases in others, which are more than double the net increase (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...).

Ideological propaganda (left-leaning mostly) is very much alive in Spain.

To complain about propaganda, you're sharing a fair bunch yourself.

Reclaim Windows10 5 years ago

This does not send personal files to MS, no. It sends executables that have been already flagged as a virus through other methods (e.g. heuristics). Also this is part of Defender, not of SmartScreen.

How are you supposed to figure out that A happened before B in a multithreaded program using only a debugger? Setting printpoints, letting them be hit and continuing... this whole thread seems to arise from the fact people have not learned to use debuggers.

I mean ELI5 is clearly hyperbolic, but explaining dispatch like "Just read a void* pointer and do a goto *p" is definitely 1st year of CS level. This wouldn't be valid for teaching actual VM implementation fundamentals.

Some may wish courses about compilers & VMs would be as easily (and naively) explained, but this style misses a lot of critical and complex details. Nobody likes complexity, but if it exists, it exists.
