Just don't read the biography. I just finished it, and while it's amazing it will leave you devastated.

Try a Linux variant that isn't arch.

Or, you know, trivially circumvent it? Compress media, break up URLs? I don't understand how this could possibly be effective.

Pirated content don't have ads though.

I was so confused about the message... Ken went full patriarchy, but then demonstrated that it wasn't really that bad (also, no horses). So compared to barbieland the real world is absolutely paradise. Then they flip the full-on matriarchal barbieland to complete patriarchy, find that the women don't like that, do a bit of gender war and go mostly matriarchy because reasons. And than a bitter remark that women have it hard in the real world so men will have it hard in barbieland. It's all over the place.

The weird pacing, jokes that fall flat and at one point goes all 3 stooges just left me feeling... Empty, afterwards. All that hype, all the people rooting for and against it, people complaining that it didn't win all the awards... I thought it was a vapid, low quality summer movie.

People did that. Stack overflow reverted the change.

I don't know, I think Maeomo / Meego - Nokia N9 was pretty close to ticking all boxes.

My impression is that many parents are just approved by default, letting the courts determine validity... Good for the patent office, great for the lawyers.

Same, fizzbuzz was one of our tests. Nearly everyone messed it up. The telling part was how. We had a guy with 20 years of experience who demanded ample compensation write code that not only didn't compile, but it made little sense. A lot of people were pretty good bullshitters - then after the test they went "Yeah, well... That went bad huh?". We had a different, more difficult test that people could choose. We had one guy who did somewhat poorly on that... But asked to take the assignment home for his own sake. He was a very god hire. Not because he worked overtime or anything but because he cared.

Firefox - Accidentally introduces memory leaks. People flee in droves.

Chrome - Intentionally introduces privacy leaks. People go "eh" end keep using it.

Gotta protect that memory!

Which kind of works

I guess... If they really don't care about time of day coinciding with the placement of the sun. Ever. Unless they're only running 26h days summer and winter but 24 hour days during spring and fall..? This would be FUN!
