while factual (and quite alarming if I'm honest), it is factually a non sequitur for the commonly held definition of "non-stick pan"

And you’re going to hit the ever-present concern at companies, namely “it’s working perfectly fine, why would I spend any money on it?“

> imagine if We can play this game all day, but the fact is somebody put a ton of work into a project and made about what they could have made in a month at a FAANG. Pretty crappy …

^^^^ yes! Your worker already has one foot out the door and has seen the greener grass outside the door. Is it really greener? Probably not but will be to them!

> set up a packaging proxy to [connect with a system outside the airgapped computer] Do you even know what an airgapped computer is?

Huh, almost seems like 5G is marketing bullshit? The primary goal of 5G being to goad and shame consumers into upgrading a perfectly capable older phone to a new phone that is “5G …

> where everyone keeps reinventing the wheel and complexities just keep growing Cue XKCD "Standards" comic. People look at an existing framework and declare "this is total shit, I …

Same thing happens with Chinese restaurants in the states. New name, new sign out front, but oddly enough same fixtures, same items on the menu, and same folks behind the counter.

> rebrand to avoid government regulation Aww, kids are so cute when they're having a temper tantrum

THIS! Touch bar is cool but when they went and removed _the ESC key_ they failed. Both would be ideal

In this country we have a right to do dumb things and make bad decisions. The Nanny State can't fix every problem.

I've seen the same behavior on a 10+y.o. system with Win11 on it. I started unplugging it every night and re-plugging it every day when I went to use it. Funny thing has happened i…

> There's no "there" there! Sorry, wrong Clinton.

I get that there's a lot of anxiety involved in firing someone. But at the end of the day (lol) you still have an office to go to tomorrow, they don't. Source: Been on the receivin…

When you have a one-on-one with your manager and the VP of Engineering or a HR person is there too, or when your team in another site is laid off and you hear it thru the grapevine…

That's pretty much what OC is saying, any technology good enough to be commonly used is going to suck and/or have sharp edges

Tom Kite is/was great, but his answers are the equivalent of "I'm glad you asked, pull up a chair and let me tell you a story about a white whale..."

That old Burleson Computing guy lives in my nightmares...

Last time I checked even a relatively small 737 is ca. $100 million. You must be related to Bezos if you don't consider that expensive.

You mean like all the anecdotes in this discussion, which some might call "replies"?

I'm sure people are going to find some link between sciencedirect.com and the Trump administration so we can ignore it, since it doesn't fit with our worldview of Orange Man Bad

Right! It costs millions to certify something for flight even if it's been in commercial use for years. Even for something as simple as swapping a spinning disk for an SSD. And it …

Exactly! Look at commercial game releases, it's getting to be where the game disc is merely a token to be able to download the "real" game code. Like laziness in movies today, "f-k…
