I’m not preparing much because I have quite a few years of experience under my belt.

Basically I read the JD, find some stories from my work that I can tell, brush up the CV for a bit and then that’s it. I don’t prepare for LC interviews and if I get one I just decline.

org head is smart.

I think for programmers the enjoy is to write it by his own, not to just have a toy. If I just want a web server in asm the easiest is to just decompile an existing one into assembly and call it a day.

Only exciting if you already got a lot of programming under your belt, like Carmack, or a product guy.

I think it’s going to be like infrastructure —- eventually they will reach certain level, maybe like electricity.

I might go to a trade school if I’m laid off, just in case I can’t find a new job easily. But as long as I’m employed I won’t/can’t consider it. Trade schools in my country are usually full time studies.

I wonder whether decaf still contains these chemicals. I drank two cups of decaf every day.

TFA mentions that decaf contains these properties as well.

"This may help explain why both regular and decaffeinated coffee have been associated with similar health benefits in large population studies." --TFA

Oh I read what the parent reply says but completely misses this one. Thank you!

I guess this is just to accelerate the preparation for a total war.

One can't make all cattle pens fight to total mutual extermination without isolating them first, and blocking all information about the farm owners.

How much revenue of German cars comes from China? Maybe they can hike the import tax.

I think Windows also discourages people to use their syscall directly. It could change from version to version so they should use the API.

I kinda see this as a usability issue. If the app developer is willing to wrap the whole “download source and then compile” with a one click installation shield type software, most users would be fine.

But yeah then they need to track distros and such. I hope there are a couple of distros that have better back compatibility eventually.

And how would they distribute that compiler-installer as a portable binary?

Yeah it’s chicken and egg again.

Maybe just focus on one or two distros maybe? Something focused on desktop experience.
