The American system existing is a travesty both because of the struggles it gives Americans but also because it's used as a comparison to make the European systems look good. The N…

Yeah I really struggled to read the style of writing and gave up even though I know I probably totally agree with the message

Some chargers will re-negotiate depending how many cables are plugged into the adapter. Which is fine, but sometimes makes it tricky to know if it's the cable, the plug, or the num…

It's interesting that I was downvoted on HN for saying the same thing about how frustrating it is that seemingly identical cables are not identical https://news.ycombinator.com/ite…

The market desperately wants to replace wages and the idea of a machine doing the work you previously needed to do before is so enticing, and the initial results so promising, that…

We were in the middle of setting everything up company wise (for just two of us), didn't have the password manager yet and I was dictating the password to them. It might be a stupi…

They must have changed that or I was completely off base because I was just trying to remove special characters and drop it from 12 (I think) and I saw them close a feature request…

Maybe it's distro specific but I'm fairly sure mysql by default installed with skip networking around 2012, and with bind-address set to localhost since then. Also the root user is…

I just read the rest of the article and I'm back with my tail between my legs. I guess I made the author's point.

I guess it's easy to judge from the sidelines but was the screenshot of the site, if not the first tweet, not an obvious scam? And you can say it's from context but I only read the…

> How would a downloaded file buffer I've no idea. It happens sometimes and only seems to happen with certain fils. In this case I'm sure it's a jellyfin issue, but this just comes…

No, I'm talking about downloaded files. It happens maybe 2% of the time. You can't be sure the indexers are giving you the correct one.

I don't have a console other than an old PS4 rarely used and I was going to buy a PS5 until the recent news. Now I don't want to buy xbox because of this post. So, what's left? I h…

I don't know if I agree with you with this example. Sure it's annoying to find a streaming service but once done it generally works. Usually true with a film or TV show through the…

Even if it used to be accurate. Percona were a great resource and now it's all giving LLM vibes. Maybe it's still accurate, it probably is, but it also feels like they don't care

LinkedIn is the place for mid-intellectual condescension with an ellipsis at the end.

This has been my observation too. Because I'm chatting it feels like I'm not working, so any output can be "productive" in that context but I'm hyper aware of all the negative time…

I think juniors and fake seniors are a lot more productive because they were never really able to measure their productivity so spamming LoC and trusting AI output makes sense to t…

Ask Claude to generate a few numbers using it and tell you if they are random or not

Those engineers are annoying but I'm so sad about the previously great engineers who are doing this and now contributing slop everywhere.
