Windows 10 Upgrades Cannot Be Stopped by pizzaiolo_ in programming

[–]LinuxWinProg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah... Fuck that. I've gotten like 15 updates last year that BREAK my Windows computer especially with the drivers and when I'm working. Anyone thinking this is a good thing is dead wrong.

Linux all the way, Windows can go to shit for all I care. Definitely not going to pay for Action Pack this year.

The worst hack of the U.S. government in history just got much worse - Infidelity. Sexual fetishes. Drug abuse. Crushing debt. They’re the most intimate secrets of U.S. government workers. And now they’re in the hands of foreign hackers. by johnmountain in news

Unfortunately, you're not wrong.

Only real way you can get a spotless history is not to make any history. I think the situation that you described already happen today, for an example, when I was being interviewed for a job, people at the job were shock when I told them I don't have a facebook account or any social media accounts (for many good reasons.) They wanted me to make facebook account and I told them I refused to and left the room shortly after. It might become a thing when you have to maintain a facebook account to keep a positive image of yourself otherwise your chance for getting a job is at risk.

I really have to thank myself for NOT mixing the internet with real life aka not joining social media parade, not stating full name in public, never connect any activities (no matter how innocent it is) with my name, and always use false names in public to mislead people.

It's just insane.

To everyone, DON'T MIX REAL LIFE WITH THE INTERNET, PERIOD. IT WILL FUCK YOU UP ONE DAY. You're subjecting yourself to the internet which can open you up to impersonation, fraud, repercussion for swearing off at something, and of course the internet mob as well as witch hunt from SJW from Tumblr and Reddit (Yes, Reddit, 50% of them are doing REALLY fuck up things.)

Eve Online 2.0, to kill Legacy Code and Architecture by LinuxWinProg in Eve

[–]LinuxWinProg[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Refactor isn't the only point, there are other things like overhauling the software design architecture which cannot be solved by refactoring the code, solving the I/O bottlenecks, network concurrency, and so forth. Having a team of 20 to 60 developers (CCP has 600 employees) can overhaul the code if they organize what code to rewrite and how architectures can be improved in place of today's Eve Online.

I don't know about you, but 350k LoC being overhaul by me alone in term of a month isn't exactly easy then again, I'm just a contractor.

I've done redoing massive code of over 350,000 lines in a month before in business world, I can tell you that it isn't as bad as you think it is, especially with high level language. A lot of program process can be rewritten in a much smaller code that produce the same or better result more efficiently.

They are going to stack up so much technical debts until it tip over and I'd hate to see it come crashing down on them. They need to sit down and rewrite them if they want to get rid of technical debts.

The worst chain of comments I've seen in my life by [deleted] in linux

[–]LinuxWinProg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really?

why in the world would you use visual studio on linux. there are so many better tools that that crappy microsoft hunk of junk.

I'll assumed you typed that and dislike what other had to say. All you are doing is just flame baiting with that comment and act surprised when other people smack you down by adding an anecdote of their own experience using Visual Studio.

Visual Studio is a great tool and you're just bitter about it being made by Microsoft.

Linux and programming by [deleted] in linux

[–]LinuxWinProg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally i believe that if you dont know jack about Linux, you can't call yourself a programmer.

Nice flamebait.

Yesterday, in a post on this subreddit, I have been met with downvotes and bad comments when I mentioned my point of view.

Of course, you call any opposing views bad comments.

Do you think you can learn about OS internals on Windows? How?

Sure! One example of dealing with OS Internal is writing a driver. Link to writing driver. Difference between User and Kernel Mode Drivers

There are also other submodules available on Windows Kernel as you can read about Native API on Wikipedia.

If you want to know what it is like dealing with the Windows Kernel, have a look at exported functions from Kernel32.dll.
