Did you,... hrm,... did you even take classes about this stuff. Ffs, this is why this career pays well: you have to understand complicated things.
Maybe your issue is with Windows. I suggest moving away from that platform.
Dynamic libraries are essential to computing, and allow us to partition out pieces of the code. One giant library would have to be recompiled with every change.
RISC-V will supercede it. ARM became quite a nasty company in its later years.
Oh well, good riddance.
I just want a chip manufacturer that isn't gonna bug my home! Hopefully someone comes along, takes the RISC-V specs, and makes a truly open-source chip!
I think about this often. I think that Millennials, and especially Gen Z, will be the best-documented lives in history. Almost everything you've ever done online is sitting on a hard drive somewhere. Once the encryption schemes are broken, posterity will have full access to all of it. They'll probably study us for hundreds of years—possibly thousands (if we even make it that far as a species).
I've also wondered if all of that data collected about a person could be used to recreate them—a digital copy. It probably wouldn't be perfect, but I bet it would be close enough to be useful.
I'm definitely not excited for people to have access to and study my college Facebook account :-P
Agreed. Sorry. I often hear this kind of stuff IRL from my relatives, so I might be prejudiced.
People bragging about their kids is irritating. However, I hope the girl ends up being a Linux guru :-)
No one is mentioning upper management and CEO's pay. The money is trickling up, and that's more of a problem than all of the other factors combined.
Yay! Glad they finally put this to rest. I was hopeful but extremely pessimistic about it, and now we know.
It's so cool to me how many specialists we have around the world, like Jain (the copper-sulfide expert). That's such a very specific thing to be an expert about.
In my work in devops with a start-up, I'm expected to know a bit about everything. I'm a bit jealous of Jain's extremely narrow focus, lol.
Buzz-word salad. His constituents are like, "That's right! Got 'em!"
No, not everybody hates ads. Everybody hates today's ads, because they're literally as intrusive and annoying as the designers can make them. I didn't have a problem with ads 15 years ago, but because I have to pay for my bandwidth, and because ads like to literally block what I'm reading with a giant, 100MB, unskippable video, I use an ad blocker.
Advertising shot itself in the foot, and it isn't our fault for being pushed so far that we're fed up with it.
Codependency. It's okay to not be in a relationship.
Home-grown fruit, like tomatoes (and especially strawberries!) are, like, an entirely different fruit than store-bought. They are SO freaking good! It is like opening Pandora's Box, because you'll never enjoy store-bought again.
Seems like at least 50000 people disagree with your assessment.
I had 2 interventions in my life and neither worked. In fact, they made it much worse for me.
I suggest that you go to AlAnon and learn a bit about alcoholism before trying anything (btw, AlAnon is not AA, but is a program to help non-alcoholics understand what they're dealing with.)
Your friend is lucky to have you. Don't give up on them. It truly is hellish, and they'll need your support.
