Expecting a pivot back to transitional parts if it goes bang.

No way Grindr needs 200 engineers.

That’s the sort of shit I’m talking about

Damage done. The next frontier is getting all our shit out of reach of these companies/models/platforms and putting them back on prem.

It's mostly for security reasons. Both supply chain and secrecy.

20-40% capacity. Reserve available. Turnaround same day on a board (2 layer). Next day 4 layer. Two days exotic (rogers etc). Pick, place, soldered 2 days or delivered to lab immed…

medium to large defence companies tend to have in house board fabs. I worked in one.

Actually I didn't know he was a prick. I'm not sure he is either - I haven't checked. I just really really don't like Ruby or Rails. Ruby is like someone mashed up python and perl …

My favourite part of Django is it's not Rails :)

I did that. Then got a refund immediately. Then quit Steam and never played another fucking game. Then sold the gaming PC. Moved to board games which are tangible and I can play wi…

This is totally wrong. Some machines are capability amplifiers. Other machines are shit puking buck passing time sinks.

Yeah have this too. I created a spreadsheet called “slop” and add the name to the list and redirect all queries to their engineering manager. I’m not wasting my time on that shit.

I’d suggest anyone knee deep in AI reads the comments on this one. Then remember that they’re your market and customers. It has got to the point it’s poison outside the niche tech …

Been doing this sort of stuff for 30 years. Mostly in Excel. Hasn’t cost me anything.

That's what I was running for the best part of 8 years until last year. Was very reliable. In the end I just cleaned out all my shit and got rid of it. Less is more.

I just go down the pub.

The day I have to negotiate and persuade the machine to stop talking shit rather than command it is the day I decide fuck it and go and farm geese or something. Smells like today. …

A better solution is just leech the content and stick it on a generic USB flash stick.

We really haven’t. It’s always been this bad. For me I’m a late adopter. I’ve seen more things go than stay. I’ll wait until the industry has stabilised or evaporated before making…

Avoiding legal jurisdiction, regulation and tax by being offshore. Bring on the exploding drone boats.

Don’t think so. I just exported all files to jpeg 90% into the Lightroom library folder structure. Then moved all the RAWs to an archive disk. I just add any directories I want to …

Another +1 for this. I just replaced Lightroom with it after several years. So much happier.

They should shut them down immediately then investigate. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary measures. If it’s rubbish those stories will stop instantly.

Mine is worn out.
