Considering it was government contracting, it was as good as it was going to get. The offer I got was from a near-tech company.

I've had 2 previous companies do something similar. Team of 5 or so develop a product. It's realeased and they move / layoff all but one or two devs including me. I get overburdened; ask for a raise. The first company that di

On a couple occasions, Google Maps kept suggesting and autoselecting a "shorter" route. Upon selecting it, though, my ETA increased by 40 minutes instead of dropping like it said it would. I kept having to dismiss it until the &qu

I think that meant more when the reviews were not egregiously astroturfed like that are now.

I think you go a bit far, but I agree somewhat. I was picked on a fair bit in school. The nature of "zero-tolerance" meant that fights were quick. I recall one day just being shoved into a a door threshold unexpectedly. I had had

That only works if most other vehicles weigh substantially less, which they don't. Suburban vs Smart Car, sure, you "just" kill all the occupants of the smart car, and get some whiplash since you don't have headrest and

The RCI was family law, not criminal. But still, the police were just being assholes.

I'm inclined to agree. They could enforce many more laws with automation, today. Car has distance sensors for cruise control? Monitor and report following distance. Speeding. Changing lanes without signaling. Etc.

There was a microwave at a job that would, of course, beep when you pressed a button or the timer was done. But also when you opened or closed the door. Had a electric kettle that also beeped. I removed the piezo buzzer.

I still think Win95 is peak U , but it's what I grew up with, so that's probably expected. Minus some of the non-resizable windows, some newer UI elements that are clearly better, etc. I still run "it" via XFCE and Arch

Amazon itself does that with "Amazon's Choice" brand or whatever. They use the stats of top selling items, clone it for cheap, and take all the sales. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report&#

There are, IIRC, forced sterilization laws that depended on RvW, so perhaps those are back in fashion too.

Well, poor people are less likely to be able to travel to get abortions where it's legal. So higher infant mortality, higher maternal mortality, and more kids in the foster system, putting a strain on a likely already small (because re

As the saying goes: "weight is lost in the kitchen, muscle is gained in the gym" Personally, my own experience (and that of a few close friends) is that if you want to lose weight it's going to suck. No easy way to do it, you

But they'll typically have a check valve good for one assist. Assuming you press once and only once and *hard*, they will win. But that's a big assumption to make for people panicking.

So was it a NFT pointing to a hosted image, or a URL to the actual tweet permalink? The latter being marginally less ephemeral than the former. But neither would encompass any kind of "ownership".

I've worked in defense as well. Older software seemed to be tested more, or otherwise more reliable. Sure, it could be outdated, but generally it was usable. As they moved away from embedded to more networked and newer tech stacks thin

I'm a big XFCE fan but multimonitor support is still iffy, especially if one is a HDPI one and another not, as the scaling applies to all monitors.

I too tried KVM switches and saw they have not changed much in 15 years. No support for higher video modes. Buggy. So I got a USB switch and that worked well for a while with multiple monitors (Dell) that you could assign shortcut keys to t
