I make a habit of responding to each and every recruiter. The ones who send me jobs I am way overqualified for, or simply don't pay enough, I tell them my current compensation pack…

To actually finish all the content in each D2 expansion you have to invest full time job kind of time in it. Destiny doesn't just feel like a job, in some sense it IS a job. I thou…

I quite like BoingBoing bbs. You will find a mix of knowledgable on a very wide variety of topics discussing current events. Many techies, but also doctors, lawyers, engineers, pro…

If you are only meeting lonely programmer types at dance lessons, you should pick something more social. Book clubs. Films clubs. Run clubs. Hell, take up fishing and go to meetups…

My point is that congresspeople are unlikely to legislate their lunch money. As well, there is an angle about the fiscal health or the middle class as well. Depending on how much y…

I am old enough to recall RAD, and young enough to have seen a few of these low/no code solutions come and go. Don't get me wrong. I love them as a coder. Once I get the hang of th…

The big problem with regulating big tech is you are punching yourself in the pocketbook. Even if congressmen are not trading on inside info and getting rich, if you have a 401k you…

This is a great commonsense idea which is likely to have a positive impact. However, given the array of things which have been termed "Dutch" in English, does "Dutch Reach" sound n…

Indeed. The methods mentioned make it quite clear that we do not know how bad it really is very corrupt countries.

> The machine will be built to communicate in written format. It means writing and reading. That covers already a lot of use cases. Writing documents. Writing emails. Reading mails…

I see some articles which always have a "last updated" of today. You can refresh a day later and watch it change.

Incredibly scary, and on point. Definitely describes how I have moved around jobs. It's articles like this that make me realize how fortunate I am to work in Tech, which has a real…

I can't disagree here about some really good music using Autotune. Even if it is not your cup of tea, Cher's "Believe" is undeniably iconic. I am not a record producer, but I feel …

I use Azure Logic Apps to pay attention to things I should be paying attention to, and then send emails or take other actions when something happens which needs attention. Some of …

What you think of as Autotune from your examples was popularized by Cher (turning it up all the way to produce that effect). Used sparingly it can turn people with terrible pitch i…

> Has anyone actually worked this way? I tried with the Samsung Odyssey+ a few times. I used the counterbalance and extra support kit (it is a bit heavy), and it's quite nice with …

Some 360 games shipped with console updates as well. Required to be applied before you could play the game.

The alternative here is to buy a waterproof tablet, and a decent mount to attach it to your treadmill. https://amazon.com/Arkon-TAB086-12-Tablet-Galaxy-Retail/dp/B...

Indeed the Steam Deck is very exciting because what we've seen is that the mobile space is where Linux has been able to defeat Microsoft in end user adoption. As some other folks h…

I have also had this happen!

My inclusion of them on the list is from just 2 data points: Those sorts of classes were available when I was in school, but it was not a whole track, it was 1 class each. Second d…

When I was in school (it's been a while), we built super boring things that nobody cared about as our assignments. Various inventory systems, which you have to sort/search. That wa…

Wow. I think my big take-away is to never post disclosures about a company, on that company's platform. No, I'm not being sarcastic either. I am sure some Company-Man type was the …

There was a meme a while back (which was completely accurate), about how the minimum sentence for uploading a Michael Jackson album was less than the sentence the doctor got for li…

Indeed. I don't think most xxx streamers (or streaming platforms) are "stones" with enough "blood" for them to be worth squeezing.
