Yes, I am trying to get as far away from all major US cities as well. Remote work is hear to stay.

election night 2016

I'd like to toss North Carolina out there as a great up and coming tech hub as well. Cheap living and lots of software jobs.

Indeed, we are in a sort of cold civil war in western culture right now over core beliefs and culture. HN definitely seems to have a collective bias to one side of that.

This should surprise no one. Linux gamers are a very vocal minority, but also a very tiny portion of the market.

I gave up on the linux gaming years ago, after suffering with WINE.

Why would companies pour hundreds of thousands in resources to support a platform that has almost no serious gamers?

Am I only one who thinks it's absolutely insane to advocate stealing from someone because some people think they are too rich? That is mob rule.

You don't have a right to the wealth of the 1% anymore than they have the right to your wealth.

Why do think ridiculing unions is bad?

well i see 4 people don't support making the internet safe for women and children, we really need to get the internet censored so folks cannot post whatver they want and disrupt social order. A social credit score would be a big step forward for the US. We can't continue to have people posting whatever they want on the internet, we need make sure people can only access and interact with information that has been approved as non-offensive.

And people who refuse to get with the program in the 21st century, need to be de-platformed. This is how we got orange man in office, and from what i've read he is a very bad man. Ex Nazi, kkk member, Womanizer, Makes offensive jokes about people and steals money from social programs but not paying extra taxes.

Impeach orange man and have the UN help create laws. We need completely open orders. It is the only way to help US workers move forward and to become global citizens instead of belonging to these old fashioned ideas of countries and democracy.

I think it's more that C programmers don't really consider themselves part of a C culture in the same way that python, go, ruby, php etc programmers do. C programmers usually have another interest like kernel dev, firmware dev, or 3d game engines that is more interesting to them than the language itself.

Funny that the top in bitcoin was the day futures started trading on it

you need an HR department too! very important

also you will need lots of project manager's and maybe 1 or 2 full time developers

100% agree

I'm more of a (.)(.) guy

I've actually seen the opposite happening. Organizations tend to favor MSSQL even though other free options like Postgres could do the job just fine. Large enterprises I've worked with such as hospitals, auto mobile companies and pro sports teams overwhelmingly prefer their web and mobile apps to be written in .NET over java/python/js.

Azure is a huge step forward in bringing many of these traditionally in house technologies like SQL Server, SSIS, SSAS, Reporting Services, and .NET Web Apps affordably into the cloud as well as newer technologies that fit comfortably into companies' existing infrastructure (Data Factory, Azure Functions, HDInsight etc.)

They are grabbing a huge amount of developer mindshare at the enterprise level, and by opening up their tools are allowing the younger crowd a free alternative to going with OSS.

I'm definitely not a MSFT zealot. I have been a "linux guy" since I was 14 yrs old, but after working almost exclusively with the MSFT stack for the last 2.5 yrs I am very impressed with their offerings and the level of integration and cohesiveness around those offerings.

"this company never gained anything from developing and pushing .NET"

I would have to disagree. .NET has become the backbone of the MSFT developer experience and has gone far beyond being just an alternative to java. It's heavily used in Azure, SQL Server, Web Applications, Desktop, Mobile etc.

The benefits or Microsoft owning GitHub seem to keep rolling in. The visual studio integration has gotten much better already and I'm excited to see how they begin to integrate github into Azure.

Very much the opposite. Firms will overprice a stock hold it up for a few weeks by creating an area of support (buying) and then dump the shares to joe six pack until they don't need to prop it up.

No one, we can default to the federal reserve if we need to they are our own central bank.

How is this stuff getting upvoted?

I dunno... prob because it's popular and people want to read it.

China is the true enemy of freedom for the 21st century.

We use Jenkins when we need something more complicated than cron can provide.

Some companies offer different classes of stock with voting or non-voting rights.

For example Google has Class A - (GOOGL) and Class C - (GOOG)

It's rigged for the rich because with more capital to invest you can lower your risk. Joe six pack with $50k to invest is going to be at a disadvantage against players with millions who can hedge their positions with options and diversify.

This is really more an issue for public companies than private companies. Public companies tend to make decisions that favor short term gains for shareholders in the upcoming quarter. It's a give and take, they initially get a lot more money to play around with going public, but then become handcuffed to chasing profits for their shareholders.

Really though it should be up to companies to align themselves to whatever vision they have. Politicians should just stay out of it.

Wow, I had to keep checking the url to make sure it wasn't the onion.

That's an extremely toxic company culture.

I like their software. I get an opinionated *nix under the hood and everything just works. I can text message, my calendar syncs to my iphone, and I like a lot of the macos only apps (fantastical, iterm, forklift, transmit).

I've used and still used linux a lot but it can be a pain. Much of the desktop linux software is lacking that extra 10% of polish, there are always little annoyances. And nothing pains me more than needing to load up a QT app in my Gnome environment.

The hackintosh scene has come a long way since then.

For major releases like sierra -> high sierra it pays to wait 2-3 weeks and check around on forums for any issues. I had a few issues with some drivers going from Yosemite to El Capitan. My Sierra to High Sierra upgrade had no issues though. I have noticed bugs in the upgrade process have generally declined pretty steadily since I first started hackintoshing with Mavericks.

I never had any issues with minor releases with Sierra or High Sierra.

You can upgrade like you would on normal mac hardware

Me and a friend setup a fake electronics store on the dark web and ended up making a lot of money when bitcoin spiked in value.
