Bing and Cortana, the two most important and best working Microsoft products.

ok so no emoji in comments I guess

Seems the same to me idk

of course it's possible with a rigid arm, it's a super common circus act.

Do they have cloud budget? Slow dev machine is a deal breaker for me. I ask about dev machine quality in the interview bc I hate being bound by the machine I'm on. It's hard enough to focus on tasks, if I'm constantly having to take coffee breaks to compile things that shouldn't take that long it would drive me (more) crazy.

Go back to SMS! all is fine! (mostly joking)

Wasn't the British government about to start an ad campaign to get people to stop using enciphered messaging?

they objectively are? I think it's lazier to think nothing can be done about it

Pretty sure crypto.com doesn't actually hold some of the stuff they allow you to trade. Chia coin would be the example, they allow you to 'purchase' but not withdraw it to your own wallet.

Why blow the interesting stuff on generic targets

I am an atheist. My spiritual practice is being there for others in my life when they need someone.

Yeah, which community?

I'm glad you had a place to hang out with your neighbors but lobbying by religious groups in the US have real negative consequences for a lot of people.

I work for one of the OS makers and we have been making a concerted effort to get rid of memory safety issues across the codebase. I'm not sure if the open-source side of things are attempting similar efforts but as far as consumer OS's I have seen a lot of improvement over the last 10 years.

I feel bad for anyone working in an org that doesn't have the ability to proactively find bugs in their stuff. Lots of places are cheap and don't account for the debt they accrue by not updating their systems. 'if it aint broke don't fix it' doesn't apply to software. What you are shipping is always broken. 'safe' languages are written in unsafe languages. The interpreter has bugs, the vm has bugs, the virtualization stack has bugs, the OS has bugs, the libraries to do everything have bugs. What is there and what is known are both moving targets. If you are not hiring the offensive minded individuals who will find the bugs with or without your support then you will not know about the bugs until they are out in the wild. If you aren't willing to pay those people you are accruing debt that will come due later.
