As someone who does this because it's a decent paying job, I don't think this comment is fair. I think I'm quite skilled, and I've been told so consistently. I don't have passion; I have discipline and professionali

You want to handle refunds, fraud, money laundering, chargebacks... That stuff is really hard, and if it's not your main line of business, you really don't want to do it. And if you don't have a payment processor do it, and y

That's a solvable technical problem. If your game needs a online server to work, either patch it to not need it, or distribute the server. IF your licensing prohibits you form doing it... well, don't enter that kind of licensing,

Things can be challenging, easy, predictable, and trite and still be good. Garfield/Tetris/KFC is fine. There's not shame in enjoying it, and there's certainly no shame in working on it (or selling it). Evolution and ori

If it's inflation adjusted and I trust it's forever, I would 100% quit my job and work on something less stressful that I enjoy more. 1200 Euro is slightly below my average monthly expenses; my job pays multiple times this, but I

Sidetrack, maybe a silly question: Under what circumstances are you touching your dishwasher with wet fingers? Plates are dry when they go in and dry when they come out if you have a decent dishwasher. Capacitive buttons suck, but they are

I have tried and failed to understand what is meant by "layoff due to overhiring", in the context of Software Engineering. When an engineer is employed in a successful project, they are incredibly profitable. A handful of engineer

Yeah. I had to get a second last name when I was granted Spanish citizenship, which leads to my full name not matching my Argentinian ID. This generates (small) problems when flying between Spain and Argentina. Also partially due to my full

The context of my comment was what is the difference between an AI and a history book. Or going back to the top comment, between an AI and an expert. If you want to compare AI with ephemeral unverifiable conversations with uninformed people

A history book is written by someone who knows the topic, and then reviewed by more people who also know the topic, and then it's out there where people can read it and criticize it if it's wrong about the topic. A question asked

Catalogs, which is what he is describing, absolutely are advertising. He just one catalog for everything. A search engine does not only search for products.

"Vote with your wallet" works for voting for things, but it has an abysmal track record when it comes to voting against things. It only works in the case organized boycotts, and only for a vanishing minority of those.

It's not often that we get to see whataboutism actually start with an actual "What about...". Less snarkily: even if we agreed that paying taxes makes one complicit on evil acts done with that money, it doesn't mean that

> Unless you end up with someone like me who has a budget and always pays the max. Why don't you disclose the value to the candidate then, rather than asking what's their expectation?

Honestly I think the right to remix and derivative work would benefit everyone a lot more. Never going to happen, but I think society losing a lot due to how hard it's to profit from adding your own work to someone else's work.

I would find this slightly useful, I live in Madrid. For most of my trips I take the metro; I have two lines nearby, and they are frequent enough that I just show up. But there are a few parts of town that are just not well connected to my

I'm mostly unhappy with the current usage of LLMs. Not sure if I qualify as a "never-AI guy". My main pet peeve is that AI is a blurry term almost to the point it has no definitions. It's basically a marketing term. AI

I would be in a relationship even with a current OF-girl. Not because "feminism told me so", but because I don't see anything wrong with it. Would you not have a relationship with someone you like and likes you back? Because

This "inevitable" spiel is bad for discourse. There are absolutely ways to stop this, and even delaying should be considered is valuable for anyone who believes this is a bad end result. It's one thing to be negative, other t

Not the _whole_ point. New scanners still allow you to not take electronics out of your bag before scanning, so not having to do that is still nice.

No one is saying it's illegal for companies to demand pay as cost of access. What they can't legally do is take your privacy in lieu of payment. So "pay or don't use" is legal, and always has been. "Surrender y
