These are good questions to ask. 1) I rarely get any feedback, particularly not feedback as detailed as this, with a single reason for failure 2) Employers habitually bend the trut…

>breaks entire business models So do car alarms. I'm not convinced this is a business model I want to exist. We had an internet before it, and Google, and Facebook. I'm increasingl…

Well it's a problem that's existed since day one

This is similar to X's model, where every reply section is full of bluetick OF bots. Cheap enough for humans and too expensive for bots have a big overlap.

As an opinionated 'power user' type, I've become used to experiencing friction on web 2.0. So for example I sometimes have to make accommodations because my adblocker or user scrip…

Absurdly, it is much faster to browse between pages using old reddit. Seriously, try it out. I wonder if the person who created a ticket for implementing the progress bar ever wond…

It's from 2019, so it's hardly a recent development. It's also very discoverable if you see it in the wild. You may be surprised that `--` doesn't work, but you won't be surprised …

Spending enough time drinking the kool aid means I know at least 3 ways to use registers to avoid that, and practically end up using none of them

>paste multiple times Because you're trying to 'copy' it? This feels baby-duck-y. No given mental model is more right than another. There's already not even a consistent model, bec…

Cycling is also a marketing ploy, since it makes it sound more like a PED and less like a compound found naturally in meat. It's the same reason people say they 'take' whey, when M…

>I think the best thing people can do is update their firmware then disconnect it from the internet. We don't need treats this badly.

'desktop Linux' is a term used when the majority of Linux users don't support your argument.

>Even so, I fully expect that after this debacle MS will disable this stuff. Isn't the debacle over? MS know about this by now. What's stopping them from killing it today? A late r…

It all comes back to this. I pay for the network, I'm liable for it: I decide what comes through it.

You live in a better paying country than me. You work harder than me. You've worked for longer than me. You've saved less than me. Suboptimal use of the opportunities available to …

Stop reading sci-fi, it's hurting you.

I can't comment on nushell, but a CLI shell that uses frequent capitalisation and the 2nd furthest printable character from the home row in every 'verb' is just hilarious.

>My team got cut in half at the end of last year and we've probably increased our output by 25% primarily due to LLMs. Personally it's probably doubled my productivity. Love to see…

>I can context switch between two or three chats I'm finding this is a skill which I'm slowwwwwwly improving but, for now, my level means I tend to miss mistakes I'd notice if just…

I hate how popular lowering & spacer mods are for performance cars, you're just adding bump steer.

I don't think we, as common engineers, can absolve ourselves of all blame. For a time we were in incredible demand and all we've made of it is: some people earned enough to retire …

Your life would be more cushy if you didn't hang around in suboptimal jobs.

doh!

It's a(n IMO weak) argument raised when discussing illegal files/numbers. This project makes clear the counter-argument: the input that gets you the file out of π is a badly compre…
