From my experience the more exotic frameworks are often pushed at smaller companies by developers hoping they'll be hard to replace whereas big companies use what s most popular to ensure they can find replacements easily.

I hate Apple, but every time I run something resource intensive on my laptop and it starts to sound like a plane going to take off I go to Apple.com and hover over Check out button. Once there is a reliable way to run Linux on M1/2 I'll switch.

If money can't be explained it should be seized. The properties should be nationalised and then sold on auctions. Money should be used to rebuild Ukraine and legal assistance to get war criminals tried.

Probably semi related, but when I was looking at C/C++ job offers, why are they paid so little in comparison to Python or JavaScript? It seems like C/C++ is much more complex. I was mainly looking at embedded stuff vs Web. For example senior C++ role was paying £45k pa on average and over £60k for JS.

See no reason why Russia should not be forced to withdraw completely - leaving Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk. It's Ukraine time to retake their lands from the occupier.

They are committing genocide, run concentration camps and forced labour. They actively threat Taiwan. That's more than enough to justify avoiding them.

The last thing I want is CPC reading my notes. Unless device can be loaded with trusted OS and air gapped I wouldn't take it even if they paid me.

It's a shame there are not very many devices working in audio range (sub 100khz). You still have to scout eBay for a device from the 80s-90s and they are still expensive as hell.

My bad, Thank you for pointing out. The press release should be corrected though.

The N word is also commonly used, doesn't mean it's right. There should be no place for racism in academia. I am surprised this is up since 2020.

How a study can be taken seriously if they use racism loaded slang name of a plant rather than its scientific name?

I hope they won't kill their CPLD line that has been obsoleted several times and then pushed back. It's a lifesaver for designing digital circuits if you don't want to use a ton of 74 chips.

If you are not a VC backed corporation you must be insane to run anything on a "cloud". Why not rent a dedicated server from OVH or others where you can actually control costs and pay 10-100 times less?

10k raise is not worth adding extra anxiety - unless your current job pays so little it will make a difference. Engineers are severly underpaid that's why money seem irrelevant, because these sums are too small to be.

Then a cat does "business" in whatever that triggers similar response as toilet e.g. your shoes, pots etc. It's also not fun cleaning the cat that fallen into toilet bowl (and all the splashings around).

That's how some companies were going around RoHS. Buying old or damaged stock and rebuilding and selling as "new".
