As a Canadian who has been listening to the "51st state" wordvomit coming out of US administration your comment is very apt. For some reason I can't fully grasp, a LOT of US citize…

You're discussing layoffs. OP is discussing firings. And yeah, there's crossover but they're not 1 to 1. At the same time, if a company is taking two people of equal position and f…

@OP are you the creator? Could you add my GPU to the list? Radeon VII https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/graphi...

Not the OP you're replying to, but a parent nonetheless. From basically the very moment you realize you're having a kid you essentially become the #2 person in your own life. Its m…

I really enjoyed the write up. As father to a 2y/o as well I relate so hard to much of it. This line sticks out to me: you see life as a collection of experiences to be sampled ...…

I could never get used to ergonomic keyboards. I actually spend a considerable amount of my day typing single handed across the entire QWERTY so I don't have to remove my hand from…

And accessing a computer system without proper authorization is often illegal. So I'm not sure what point you're making.

Would be interesting to know how they were testing authentication. Were they using a botnet of any sort? Otherwise for every "valid" user/pass combo from an external leak they test…

It isn't just CS2. Apex Legends has players affected by this. Respawn Entertainment has addressed it and said is reverting bans. I guess part of the issue is an AMD update made it …

Yeah... I randomly punched in $40,000 for Gaming and got (1) Parts that total $9,980, but claims it totals $33,950 (2) Recommendations for parts that are both years out of date, an…

This is a discussion that is much larger than what's available in a comment section like this. But I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think part of the thing is Software Engineers …

oooboy is it. That's what I get for not proofreading.

You're not wrong. It shows in the state of PLC/HMI Development tools. Even simple things like Revision Control is decades behind in some cases. I've basically found my niche in the…

My company is generally good about that. We have lots of overlapping documentation that answers questions like that in different ways. From Electrical schemas to QA docs, picture a…

All my comment is adding a software anecdote to the story. It really is just regular Chesterton's Fence, a term I've never heard until now but dealt with for the last several years…

Huh. Finally a name for it. I do a lot of support work for Control Systems. It isn't unheard to find a chunk of PLC code that treats some sort of physical equipment in a unique way…

For personal development, it was merely shipping things. The more I published, the better I felt about myself. The more I published, the more I had learned and had to refer to. Now…

Perhaps you're using a broad/generic example to try and make the point but I'll say this: If a seasoned mechanic is unable to figure out how to reset the Maintenance Reminder or lo…

>Then again how much time do computers save? This is honestly a good question to ask at times. I remember back when I was trying to get into weight lifting. I was searching for app…

>sexual fertility You think our government respects people taking time to rear offspring? Of course not! They're not contributing their labour to our economy while being parents so…

Depends on what timeframe you consider the OP sees as "new thing". Reaganomics really was the start of this trend though I'm sure it is easy to find examples prior to then looking …

I actually had a decent experience with their support on my Pixel 1 with shoddy bluetooth. It was one call to tech support and they basically just said it isn't worth troubleshooti…
