Postgres isn't recent at all.

I would say HashiCorp Terraform and Vault

We need another 10 years for the self-driving technology to be considered safe. Two of the biggest factors are

- humans crossing (pedestrian/biking) without looking - bad weather conditions (fog, snow)

After we moved to another floor/office, I forced my team lead to move to the desk with back facing the door while I conquered the desk with a wall behind me, after spending 4+ years with the back facing the open office we had previously.

I improved exponentially my concentration and quality of work while he showed up that previously he was spending large amount of time watching YouTube/news websites/shows instead of doing work and he is frustrated that he has to do real work now.

Are actually Germans big savers? Living here for almost 10 years, I've NEVER found anyone saving money..the majority burn their salary month per month or burn their short 'savings' in more-than-they-could-afford vacations, like entire months in US or Australia.

This still baffles me.. why not using YouReporter for this kind of things? Google is known to be bribed and corrupted by governments

Try to say that to management. I'm sure most of them will promote this kind of behaviour instead of "asking for more time".

Time is money and your manager doesn't want to get negative indicators

If you're located in US, start voting against Trump in 2020

Try to get into politics and climb up to be Prime Minister/President of your country. Only in this way you can fight the bad big Corps affecting the climate of this planet.

I hope they start ditching user tracking from Android and Chrome and enforce more security: that would be a real privacy improvement

Funny how a patent warmonger company like Apple tries to fight against others' patents, when they are on the bad side.

All these patents are now backing off too much the evolution

And what you get then? A prize?

Wait wait. XML with XSD Schemas are a easy problem. You can't fail with a XSD schema on place

Why don't they remove the bloat in source code, reducing its compile time from 2/3 hours to roughly minutes?

Simply: don't catch bugs

It looks like that took very poor decisions such as bad frameworks and in-house made libraries vs what was already existing.

First, it's not true that there's no C++ mobile community. There are plenty of forums, blog posts, projects, using C++ in mobile field. Xamarin and Qt are helping C++ Devs go mobile since years.

Second, it depends on which standard they've used. It looks like they choose a pre-C++11 standard, making things more complicated (in 2013 there were already full C++11 compliant compilers, even for mobile), especially threads. They probably forgot that Boost itself has modules for JSON, checks for non null objects and so on.

Third, they probably kicked off the project with some average C++ developers and they left. They haven't found cheap experts (compared to Kotlin/Swift, which are really cheaper) and didn't want to pay high salaries. The story that those Kotlin/Swift developers didn't want to learn C++ says a lot of the quality of those developers as well. Sure, it's matter of interest, but it was also a great opportunity to earn much more money as well.

As for build systems, it's true that it's an unsolved issue, but CMake is pretty much a standard and it can handle dependencies, if someone knows how it works. Sorry, but this is a story of poor choices and unskilled people for this huge job.

Fund terminates, bankers win

The worse part is when a Big $$$ Corp uses free tools and never pays back to those who worked hard. Most of the Cloud Services are using opensource and free tools to gain billions of dollars yearly, but how much do the Linux community gets back? Maybe $25K once in a while

Well, considering the boom of streaming services across young generation, that's a free attack.

Other reformulated: People change interests. Unfortunately Apple is taking the cake of the most desirable gadgets manufacturer and of course Linux never got that traction (how many years have we read about 'This is the year of Linux Desktop'?).

Royalties and greed. I hope they don't start blaming again end users if piracy will be back due to this poor choice

But how does it work with the internet connection? You need a massive incoming bandwidth (a 500/1000Mbps Internet connection form ISP?) To share it with others?
