As a developer, the Windows target is baffling. I briefly considered porting a few apps I wrote over to Windows just to re-learn the platform again. Might be fun! Back in the day, the choice was easy: MFC/Win32

Now, I have no idea where to even start! C#? C++? .NET? Win32? MFC? WPF? XAML? WinForms? UWP? What a rat’s next! How did MS let the development ecosystem get so muddied? I know I can go online and research all of these, learn the trade offs, and hope I bet on the right horse, but then again I could also choose to simply leave this crazy platform alone and work on more features on the platforms that are more comfortable.

The widely touted notion that technical people are open-minded is laughably absurd.

The opposite is true.

Never has a collective so violently assailed change more than ours, whose identity and livelihood swing on the strictest adherence to dubious 'norms' and unconsidered methods. Pattern-think is everywhere.

We are not innovators, we are craven perpetuators who fear any form of change that may lay bare our vulnerability.
Why would you ever default to an opt-out for that information? That's like saying "people should read the contracts" while waving about a 10,000 EULA in 6 point type, or burying an option checklist so deeply that most users don't even know it's there.

Bad regulation hampers growth, good regulation induces growth.

As I see it, the problem in the U.S. is that the current political system is incapable of producing good regulation, partly because of the deeply flawed voting system and partly because of a collective belief that government cannot be effective (producing that exact outcome).
Both the EU and China started off targeting the US on political grounds because the US is the injured trade party. They have few other vectors of reciprocal tariff targeting because existing US tariffs are lower than nearly all other major economies and the US economy is more open than nearly all other economies. What are they going to target otherwise? The options are slim, maybe the US truck tariffs.

Funny enough, re China targeting US agriculture: the US has nearly the lowest agriculture tariffs. Only Australia is lower that I'm aware of among large economies. What's the legitimate grievance that China could possibly have about US agriculture? They obviously have none, it's all political retaliation.
The actual domain name is https://cloudflare-dns.com/ (found by inspecting the cert)

Before SNI, every cert had to go to a static public IP address. Everything between you and the TLS terminator had to handle this. As a side-effect, you didn't actually need to know the domain name to get the tunnel, because everything handling the packets was running on the destination IP.

tl;dr: Trickery based on dated TLS quirks.
In case your question was not a rhetorical device, or a troll, there are almost a dozen nations that enable US expatriates to stay indefinitely on non-work visas. Hang out in digital nomad forums and you will discover that with a few exceptions, most fund their lifestyle through remote work and do not declare to their host country their intention to remote work while on a non-work visa. Most nations aren't set up to handle the vagaries of remote work, anyways.

You sit in Thailand, contracted to a client headquartered in San Francisco, whose servers you solely work on sit in Montreal, and the team you work with offices in Berlin; if you try to go legal in such a situation, you will either quickly go broke on attorney, CPA and FX fees, the taxes every jurisdiction levies because there are no reciprocity agreements for many of those inter-relationships yet, or both. The situation is ugly even in supposed "streamlined" situations like NAFTA between the US and Canada; I've seen firms with offices in both nations, employees in both nations, and employees from one are still denied entering the other to do face-to-face work with co-workers, and it's gotten to such a ridiculous level that Legal just verbally signs off on a "don't ask don't tell" policy to declare upon entry that the visit is only for a (or series of) business meetings.

It's not difficult to perform the physical expatriation act. It's difficult to navigate the logistical tail of expatriation though, because movement of labor is still far more constrained than capital movement. Time-wise, it is like 2-3 orders of magnitude. I can flip a year's worth of even high-end labor in USD to CNY under all the capital controls in both host nations in 10 days give or take and make the transfer permanent. Whereas permanently moving my labor in compliance between the same nations is on the order of thousands of days, semi-permanently (residency) moving the same labor is on the order of hundreds of days, and moving labor within 90 days involves all sorts of strings attached that capital doesn't bother with. Issues surrounding healthcare, education (if you have or intend to start a family), cultural and social fit, language, taxes, housing, transportation, forex, etc. pop up when you really dig into the expatriation process, and an amazing amount of what you put up with are purely political constructs and not intrinsic to the actual move itself. So the question becomes not "What are my best and quickest options...", but more "here is my situation and anticipated future desires in lots of pretty intimate personal detail, now what are my options?"

I used to subscribe to the Church of Globalization, but once I delved into the actual practice of expatriation and realized just how much capital movement is favored over labor movement, that was the start of the crack in that edifice, and now I want Capital Globalization rolled back to reciprocity with Labor Globalization, and then roll both forward in tandem. When it gets as easy to move around the world and vote with your feet as with your financial tokens, then I'm fully on board with progressing globalization.
I'm surprised that M68K isn't included in the list. I doubt there are many M68K machines that could run a current Linux kernel.
Personally I won't touch anything with less than 32 GB and 1080p, but people that use a PC like a tablet with a keyboard and a larger screen have different needs. They are the vast majority of buyers.

A friend of mine is thinking about buying a new laptop. We were looking together at what's available in the sub 400 Euro range, basically everything is 4 GB and 1366x768. Add some 200/300 Euro and 8 GB and 1080p start to appear in the lists. Guess what people buy most? The cheapest stuff.

By the way, the new laptop must be Windows because anything different will be too difficult to cope with after 30 years of training. He's replacing the old one (only 2 years old) is getting too slow. Probably a malware party but disinfecting that machine it's a hopeless effort. That one and the previous ones were periodically cleaned and/or reinstalled but there is no way to change those ingrained clicking habits. No adblocker because my friend wants to see ads and they could actually be useful in his business. I told him that he'll be back with a slow PC soon and that he's wasting his money, and I've been wasting my time.

Don't get afraid because our website is in German because we hire English speakers for technical roles.

We have a true "engineering over management" culture. Our CTO, worked with Erich Gamma at IBM (Gang of Four) and our team of 20 developers consists of great people both from a technical and "social" perspective.

What we do:

- Tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we build the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland.
We do custom engineering work like platforms that power Swiss cities.

- We are finishing building a SaaS product for Yoga studios in Zurich that can be adjusted to other local businesses with a few clicks, meaning that you can adjust it for the needs of hairdressers also without having to code. This is a pretty greenfield project.

People say our interview process is awesome:

1) Phone screen with our CTO

2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no Google-like algorithmic questions but reasonable coding tasks).

(If you survived until here, you almost have an offer.)

3) Onsite half a day with us. We pay your stay in Zurich and travel expenses.

Beer made by independent breweries doesn't taste better by virtue of being independent or small. There's some bad beer made by craft breweries out there.

Furthermore, some formerly independent breweries are owned by Budweiser, but that doesn't make their beer suddenly taste bad. Goose Island has been owned by Budweiser for 7 years now, for example.
I get the people cancel all the time and hence they need to account for it. But in this case I had specifically called them in advance that I will be there to pick up my car and they had confirmed with me that my reservation is good. They still couldn't come through after that.

I don't mind they holding on to my credit card when I make the reservation if by doing that they can guarantee a better quality of service.

I don't 'hate' blockchain. At various points, I've tried to use blockchain technology to solve various supply chain, ecommerce and even worked for a startup that wanted to apply blockchain technology to user authentication. So, I definitely don't hate blockchain, however, my experience with the technology has lead me to be extremely skeptical for these reasons:

1.) The technology feels too immature for its age. Whenever I work with a blockchain, I feel like I'm working with bleeding edge technology that was theorized months ago and released weeks ago. Yet, blockchain is about a decade old.

2.) For all the hype, blockchain is just a distributed database.

3.) There are more mature, cheaper ways to solve the vast majority of problems that distributed databases are useful for solving. This always killed off my blockchain dreams. Once I got past the (often self inflated) hype, I was always left with the actuality that I could solve each problem without a blockchain in less than half the time it would take me to solve it with a blockchain.

4.) I've been collecting data off cryptocurrency exchanges for long enough that I can make some conclusions about the market. My conclusion is that I'm significantly better at predicting results from hands of blackjack than I am from predicting results from crypto trading. Cryptocurrency is the one killer application I've found for blockchain, but it's too irrational for me to ever get involved.

Long story short, in my experience, blockchain is a solution looking for a problem. This could be solved by more mature tooling, since often, as an implementor, I'm struck by how much more efficient it would be to solve distributed problems with tools other than a bc. And, the one space where bc is a great solution makes too little sense for me to get involved in.

Can you skip the ad hominem attacks, please?

There is an obvious difference between knowing the range of questions vs knowing the exact questions on, eg, a qualification exam. The full list of questions is usually public beforehand, the exact questions you get is not.

The same logic applies to the debate. Knowing the exact questions gives an advantage, allowing one side to tailor and concentrate their message. Once you know what is going to be asked, you can prep more extensively in that space, while the other side is spreading out their efforts, being less efficient.
Ridiculous statement. America has been advocating for free trade, we don't see your American companies complaining when they've benefitted from cheap labor in China to mass produce the likes of shoes( eg: Nike) or Apple with iPhones. America is simply imposing tariffs because China has opted to introduce the PetroYuan for oil trades which effectively poses a threat to the USD. America wasn't expecting China to respond but it did. You don't bully your debtholder and expect to get compliments in return.
If this is actually enforced my money would be on a hardfork changing to a PoW.

Yes, all regulation hurts economic growth. The mechanism is simple: regulatory compliance is a cost. If it's a fixed cost like most regulation, it becomes a barrier to entry. If it's a variable cost, it reduces labor productivity.

HOWEVER, some regulation may improve net economic growth by improving the functioning of markets such that it overcomes the costs that compliance imposes. Therefore the discussion of regulation cannot be divorced from the quantitative and qualitative merits of the specific regulation proposed, and therefore must be considered on a case by case basis. The idea that regulation can be proven good or bad in aggregate is a fools errand.
How would you deal with customers' corporate IT banning any non-certified OS from the network?

At work, we have a big TV screen showing an alert overview (a Grafana dashboard). A Raspberry Pi with Raspbian and Firefox would be enough to do that, but if we were to connect one to the LAN, its MAC would be blacklisted within less than a hour. (I've heard a report from a contractor plugging his own notebook into Ethernet, who had said cable ripped out by the local admin a few minutes later.) We ended up using an old notebook from one of our colleagues running Windows 7 Enterprise. Every few days, we have to RDP into it to click through app updates or restart the browser or something like that.
There is a significant difference between using a common source like a news wire and being told 'by corporate' what you will say. A news desk can decide what wire stories to print and how to edit them, but can't do the same for directives and scripts from the Sinclair mothership.

Don't try to claim these are in any way equivalent.
Well that Godwinned quickly.

It is a fact that the growing economic pie in the last 30 odd years has not only increased the wellbeing of people but allowed for a climate of political loosening around the world but particularly in China. This is not a myth. On average, everyone benefited. Conversely it is the threat of a return to the traditional zero-sum rapacity of the capital-rich against the capital-poor since 2008 that has led to the retreat we see in political and economic freedom almost everywhere. You're sadly drawing the wrong lessons from this. Growing the pie isn't your problem. But having the growth go to a small number of people and to wars does not work. Would you still be complaining if the money gained from trade with China were spent on modernizing America instead of wars and stuffing the offshore accounts of a few?

What some people pay to go to concerts is just insane to me. RHCP? Huge fan, but €100+ for a concert? No way!

I‘ve been to a lot of concerts, but I think I never paid more than 50€ for a show (and even that was an exception, think „Rancid is in Europe for the first time in 10 years!“). I guess I‘m not the typical concert-goer, because even IF RHCP (not hating or anything that‘s just the most recent example) offered cheaper tickets, I‘d still be in a giant stadium, 100‘s of meters from the stage. At that point, I might as well just watch the DVD.

EDIT: Forgot to get my point across: Concerts shouldn‘t be a big business, it‘s supposed to be about a connection between an artist and her fans.
