It depends on if you want to continue to grow your income above inflation. As a salaried employee, to grow your income (salary - we're not talking about flipping houses), you need to be 'promoted'. Promotion works by taking r

Honestly, I didn't even pay attention to the list. The important part of the story is that the execs 'delivered' on a promise, made the deal, and kept the customer happy.

Functionality of your PC is also there 'because of physics'. You paid for the RAM, CPU, and electricity to run it. There is a lot of software in cars and ECUs. The mapping and tuning industry exists because there is a lot of kno

Remember to consider all aspects related to liability, terms of service, and so on, as it relates to security. Does your app connect to the Internet, network, or make use of user logins or similar information? If it does, you cannot just le

It largely depends on if there is a project freeze or a headcount freeze. Any negative economic blip is used as a recruitement/headcount freeze where employers can cut out the 'deadwood' without market/customer/shar

It depends if you were doing things on mainframes or PCs. Mainframes and business computing was much the same as it is now. Struggling to get to the bottom of requirements, lots of legacy code, significant dev/test/production hand

Many here on HN are saying that such a record of what tech companies do with data is a) impossible because complex systems have evolved over time and the (historical) flows of data are unknown and b) unnecessary because the need to know wha

What it did well was data binding of UI controls to SQL databases. A form would be linked to a database viewmodel (ish) where you could drop sql connections and tables to link up to a UI. Delphi (the vcl) took care of everything . You coul

I'm not one of the anti-Microsoft brigade. My livelihood depends on Azure, and Windows is my daily driver... BUT... Windows 11 is a bag of spanners. It seems to not really work properly. Tablet mode doesn't work anymore, so I can&

I don't think that you can play as a child character because you won't know what kids do, never mind understanding the actual game. It is how they interact with each other that is will be foreign to adult non-players. It is like,

That is shocking! It is an 'unknown unknown' thing that as parents we would be totally unaware of, but will somehow be communicated in game, or in hundreds of hours of youtube videos that kids watch. You think that it is all loc

It was two years ago, so maybe things have changed a bit. I don't think the game works well without the in-game chat stream. If that can be disabled then perhaps some of the risk is gone. It is still a creepy place with a lot of '

Roblox is horrendous. It is as dangerous as any dark corner of the Internet, except that it appears child-friendly to parents. It _seems_ to have controls, and _seems_ to restrict bad behaviour, but it does not, and cannot. My daughter wa

For all of the days that you are alive you need to eat, breath, cook and heat the room that you are living in. The continental flight just allows you to eat, breath, cook, and heat in different city. You cannot account for the carbon cost o

The health and safety aspect is mind-numbingly overbearing. And for good reason. It is an underground workspace that is surrounded by the general public. When escalators are replaced the entire work area gets boxed in. There must be signifi

Same as for ICE? Better weight to power ratio. Less drag (aerodynamics, wheels). Plus better EV tech? More efficient power curves. More efficient regenerative braking.

Like everything, for legacy software (of which there is a lot in the enterprise) DBAs are still needed. I haven't seen as many DBAs in the last 15 years. In that time, two things have happened: 1. Servers have become faster (obviously)

You may have a focus on tech that is too narrow. Especially if you are mostly interested in ad-supported social media driven by Silicon Valley VCs. Tech is still cool. I'm not young, so I don't think that age is a factor. Just thi

Do something else. I decided that I would learn guitar with my daughter instead of gaming. I'm not really any good, but I can pick up a guitar and play something . 17-year old me would be proud. It is definitely much cooler than whate

Lack of mental health and illness services is due to a lack of supply i.e. not enough clinicians. How it is delivered (or not) is orthoganal. The lack of clinicians may be related to pay, working conditions, brexit. I mostly believe that in
