We deploy to a single region. This maintenance was a major pain in the ass. We got a notice 72 hours ahead of time (only 1 business day ahead of time) that around 60% of all of our…

This is a case of states violating the constitution of the united states. It's a pretty clear violation of equal protection. It's not up to the states to decide this. Rights of a m…

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted and why you think I'm saying the controller is bad. Oculus keeps spreading tons of hype and making very disappointing announcements. A bundled xb…

"The oculus will ship with... A wireless.... Xbox one controller" I closed out of the stream at that point.

"For me, it's a process of learning to distrust my negative emotions. Afterwards they always seem unfounded." This is very important.

I have so many old computers/electronics. I can guarantee I couldn't pay someone (other than garbage collection) to take them, let alone make money off them.

The same thing applies to us here... I went to college to become a software engineer/computer scientist. I didn't go to find out what I want to do. I knew what I wanted to do.

It's extremely easy to criticize other degree/career choices when you're sitting comfy in a VERY desired field. Just because I rolled the dice and liked computers and went down an …

If Rift's timing is anything like Rift's timing for, well, everything they've done... I think the Rift will be released in 2017.

I don't know what to say other than I disagree.

This is what I don't get. I trust github as a central platform more than hosting my own gitlab in the cloud. There's a lot of people spreading a holier than thou attitude in this t…

How do you buy an album or song without it being DRM-chained to a particular service? That's my problem with music. I've settled on Spotify for this reason, but I was extremely dis…

There's a lot of other context to the issue. -Mods that depend on other mods -Mod dependencies being removed from Nexus and changed to paid mods on Steam -Mods stealing work from o…

This little subtopic can't be summed up in a sentence. Valve didn't set the 25% number, and that's the important part. Bethesda opted to take over 40%.

The OP replied in that article's comments saying that their appeal was rejected with a statement that any reference to Pebble in the description had to also be removed.

This ended up being false.

I thought this post was overly cynical and full of generalizations. I don't really understand what point is trying to be made here. "Everybody" "Nobody" "Nobody" "None of" "everyth…

This is incompetency of the school network administrators. No crime was committed here.

It's opt-in, but enabled by default for all [existing? maybe even new?] accounts.

In previous posts A LOT more info was disclosed. - MANY students had the admin password. It was freely passed around for the students to complete work from home remotely. - The adm…

Edit: Coworker pointed out you can rotate the board to read it better.

Doesn't google do this same thing?...

That wouldn't work here, from what I understand. This attack is only using hosts outside of China, not within.

Long time reader, recently created an account... I don't see downvote or "flag" buttons. The only button available to me is a "^", which I assume is upvote, but without a downvote …
