While we obviously can't change the length of the year in days, is there any actual reason to have a 7 day week beyond "that's what we've always done"?

I feel like ads should not be allowed in kids video games to begin with. Crappy filtering done by uncaring gigacorps providing the ads is more like a symptom here, not the actual issue.

This is nonsense. Fiber cables are always capable of the same speed in both directions at once. The actual reason is so they can sell you an overpriced "business" plan if you need upload speeds from the current decade.

You kinda pay in reduced performance. For example, civitai uses r2 for delivering the images, and it frequently doesn't load at all for me or very slowly. When your users have to use a VPN to move their traffic to another Cloudflare da

While we're on that topic, what is people's strategy for playing with Stable Diffusion safely? I still haven't found any way to run it in a VM using consumer hardware (GPU continues to refuse to work). A second install of the

Copilot is like supercharged autocomplete that actually works. Writes all your boilerplate and finishes most of your lines with what you intended to write. Definitely worth its money. Using an editor without it feels like returning to the s

Sometimes things just fall out of your hand. You could be distracted by someone suddenly talking to you, bump into something, and lose your grip. Or have you never dropped a fork in your life either? Some people just get unlucky and it happ

Easy. Hire thousands of people to do dubious jobs and target infinite, unreasonable growth of the company for investors rather than profit.

Yeah, it was more of a general "old man yells at cloud" comment not aimed at anything in particular. It's just frustrating that we shouldn't have 99% of these vulnerabilities. Don't even have to go all the way with

Will people stop messing with unsafe buffers in C already? Even just using C++ with the most basic buffer/dynamic array template would have prevented this issue.

Isn't the common practice to just replace the personal data in the db with garbage and otherwise leave the records in place - i.e. to prevent accidental reuse of the ids which could have unforseen consequences? If their user now brings

You guys get free work computers? I had to buy my own hardware for working remotely. Though that also means there's no crazy spyware on it or unnecessary bloat slowing it down. I might actually prefer this arrangement... Do the large c

The way it is written, it suggests that they're not allowed to have all 3 simultaneously. not (A and B and C) But then if you think about it in context, that law would make little to no sense. So likely they intended "or". I

Just because some jobs can only be done in a specific place, does not mean that people whose job can be done from anywhere should be forced to do the same in solidarity or some nonsense like that.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to work in an office. The issue is trying to force everyone to work in an office.

It's really annoying how none of these tools provide an easy way to activate the properly fast, zero CPU overhead hardware-based encryption that almost all modern SSDs can do, which also makes it work properly with DirectStorage, etc.
