TBH, I think if the language was done properly, PowerShell would significantly boost Windows' attractiveness to devs and admins, and would probably meaningfully spill over into Lin…

Meh. At least it should be able to translate "let's fuck". Which it "translates" incomprehensibly at the moment. If anyone from Yandex is reading this: eggplant and water spray is …

> in to the company's tech stack and development ethos To be fair, at least in Google's case that's not difficult to do, because those technical decisions are grounded in reality a…

Mid-40s here. I've built up a skill stack that pays like lawyering, and went solo. 3 years so far, no regrets. I work about 24 hours a week. I make a lot more per hour than I did a…

If you don't have bulging discs or other severe pathology, the easiest way to fix your back is to train the posterior chain via low bar barbell squats. Start light, work slowly up …

> they wanted a clearly delineated mentor They may "want" that, but that's something I never got and I worked on-site for 20 years before I went remote 5 years ago. It's not like d…

In Russia (and I suspect much of the rest of the world) you don't need to fake anything. You pay off the doctor and get a shot of saline instead, along with a totally valid record …

Real fun begins if your team has all three stages of seniority. Typically it's somewhere in the middle, so your default is to use ORM, even though as a senior person you know every…

In the US the narrative will depend primarily on whether it helps or hurts the chances of current ruling party to do well in midterm elections. You can downvote all you like, you k…

IIRC the most advanced robots today, those by Boston Dynamics, do not use any deep- or machine learning. Or at least they did not when I'd last read about them. Tech simply did not…

TIL. Looks like you're right. I ran ldd on several Go binaries I have in my ~/bin (some of which do use networking), and while most of them did not depend on libc, one did. There g…

How do you develop for it though? Do you install it locally as well? Or do you only do interpreted languages and/or Java? I suppose Go would work across distros also (because it do…

There will 100% be generous carveouts for the government and the security state by the time this is signed. Bet money on it. I'm sure it'll be "for the children" or "against terror…

Because the US has been ruled by incompetent and corrupt imbeciles since the 70s. And there's now a second generation of incompetent imbeciles in the government who were students b…

"Maintenance" won't add $100 per die like GP is suggesting. There are hundreds of dies per wafer, and thousands of wafers within maintenance interval. We're talking a very small in…

To those downvoting, if your attention span is long enough for a long read, here's an explanation of why the United States will 100% guaranteed lose if it chooses to engage: https:…

See Moon landings and the Manhattan project for an example of what unlimited budget and the best brains were able to accomplish in this country between the 40s and 70s. Then it all…

We'd have electricity beaming out of our asses by now if we didn't attack Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, and instead spent $2T on fusion R&D. And hundreds of thousands civilians wou…

That'll be another hundred billion dollars and five years tho. Maybe by then they'll install some functioning cannons on these.

My point is, until we ban the immediate popping up of these figureheads on Big Pharma boards (something Trump tried and failed to do, and Biden won't even try), there's a massive c…

In a full scale conflict, carrier group would be sunk by subs in the first 15 minutes. Those carrier groups are a relic of the past that only works against unsophisticated adversar…

There's not a whole hour of labor in each iPhone. Not even close. Humans just put together robot-assembled boards, screens, and so on. If this is re-shored, it wouldn't be that dif…

OK, then we'll pay $20 more for a $3K laptop. Hardly a tragedy. Same with labor by the way. If Apple made phones here and charged $20-30 more per unit, their user base wouldn't eve…
