    I doubt FEMA money is actually used for the immigrant stunt and Florida is not unprepared for hurricanes. Florida actually has pretty good stormwater management infrastructure, mos…

    Companies want to pay less to work with COBOL? I was always told you’d get a nice bump to work with COBOL because so few people are still around to maintain these critical systems?…

    It makes me want an extension that redirects to the lite version of every site if it exists.

    This should be the top comment.

    If so few users care about security, why should the government regulate for that outcome? I think theoretically the argument above makes sense, but in reality it doesn't. The marke…

    You are right. And I hate it.

    I disagree on the importance you’re putting on what I think are edge cases for most development. When I’m building a binary, the biggest issue I tend to run into is the “machine” I…

    Do they? Having a stable starting point for the “machine” you’re building on contributes to having reproducible builds does it not?

    Thank you for sharing this. This issue is constant but I’ve never had it explained so well.

    Management never seems to understand anything besides direct dollars. How much time has it cost the company to switch to Teams? It's definitely not zero.

    Thank you for the well written comment. You gave me a new perspective that changed my viewpoint.

    Is it? I’m still holding onto my TV from 2014 because it doesn’t have “smart” functionality. Every time I look at new ones I can’t find good dumb ones.

    I feel like I'm one of the few people who still likes flat designs. I hope it doesn't swing all the way back to full skeumorphism. YouTube looks way better than it did five years a…

    I've never heard of this before now. It looks legit. How are they able to remain free? Do they inject more ads than the already existing ones? It's not like TV doesn't already have…

    The promise of USB-C is exactly that though. The goal is having one charger and cable for everything.

    If you’re living with a 2015 13” Pro the MacBook Air is a huge upgrade if you opt for 16 RAM and the quad core CPU. I just upgraded and it can handle anything I throw at it (.NET C…

    I've been looking for a good SFF home server system but every one I find has an external PSU. It's surprising to me. I'd love an Intel NUC but I don't want a power brick the size o…

    My issue with these is they still use MicroSD cards. I basically want a Raspberry Pi with a SATA connector so I can use an actual hard drive or SSD.

    I was looking for a comment similar to this before I commented my own. Going public means you give up a ton of control and incur a recurring cost. Being public has its own costs.

    I did too, but the fact that they limit it to touchbar models means I'm out.

    If anything, Facebook is the “one big cash cow” of the big 5 tech companies. Microsoft is actually relatively diversified in terms of income sources.

    I'm with you. I use Firefox as my daily driver, but it really makes my dual-core processor struggle (2015 MBP for home, 2017 for work). It's a great browser in every way except per…
