Yeah this. Total shit. I had a Model S P100D and the doors didn't even shut or line up properly. If you can't get the basics right then there's going to be a lot of problems hiding away that you can't see and serious pro

I don't disagree there.

I still use this daily. It's ugly and cranky but it works and it's the right price.

I reckon the majority of VPN sales are actually people being bombarded by adverts and sponsorships for VPNs and think that is actually of benefit. I am constantly bombarded by questions on which VPN product to use from people who are even

What about "speaking in tongues"? You have no idea what you are saying but you follow through anyway.

You got lucky. We had about 1000 of them as a sample size. Also yours are much older models. It's the new ones.

Same story with Precision and XPS. $3k laptops last 9 months if you're lucky. I literally have a pile of dead ones now. They don't even bother with servicing them.

Corporate life... I got a shitty Dell. It broke. I got another shitty Dell. That broke. I got another shitty Dell. That broke. I got a shitty Dell. BUT WE ONLY HAVE A CONTRACT WITH DELL. Perhaps you shouldn't have a contract with Dell?

It's down to the age of the business. I have the following hypothesis: <5 years = sensible 5-10 years = JIRA incursion, agile factions >10 years = Project manager and bureaucrat hostile incursion I quite like the latter if you&#x

Wait until you get to management. I have meetings about who to get to have meetings on how to create templates to create Jira tickets. And for some reason this is valued and rewarded more than ROI generation tasks. We are truly fucked as a

Yes. I've been trying to not buy a DM42 for a while :)

Yeah that. I'm on the mathematics side so I still have a calculator in hand all the time and use one many times a day. I have one of these https://hpcalcs.com/product/hp-15c-collectors-edition/ ... anything m

Yeah we broke everything one day with a bad merge conflict resolution. The ToList() ended up before the Where() and after Where()!. Tests passed, integration tests worked. Until we had 2000 front end cluster threads all trying to pull a 2 b

I used to love self-hosting until I got a family who relied on it. Then I realised I was a sysadamin at home and at work. Bare this in mind when you build something, for if they come, they will depend on you. Everything is Apple/iCloud

Ha we still have all of those (apart from Silverlight) in production. A number of years ago I had to get an overexcited architect to not rewrite everything in Silverlight. Front end .Net is a shit show. You are right to stay the hell away f

You’re not wrong from a historical perspective. It was that or PHP for me. I chose well. I would not choose it now so I don’t think it holds any more. Go will become the next .net in 20 years.

I said this elsewhere in the thread, but C# reminds me of The Homer now. https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Homer No one is sure what problem it is trying to solve anymore. Also the amount of people I see blowing their

I've been working with .Net from day one on large high traffic projects. No. It's overcomplicated, moves so fast that the maintenance overhead is insane, the open source ecosystem is incredibly volatile and immature and the attent

I considered buying one of these at the time (as a happy HP 32S calculator user) but after playing with a colleague's one I decided not to bother. It was neat but there were so many compromises and inconveniences that it made the thing

I prefer to do the taking shit up front because you never know if you can take their shit later. (I do pay for it but only after I'm sure I can take it)

I wouldn't call Ordinance Survey beloved. Their leisure maps have been a rotting liability for the last decade at least. Totally untrustworthy for hikers/walkers. I only discovered OSM after getting shafted on a public footpath wh

A friend of mine has an iPhone 12 mini. She has to carry a powerbank the size of the phone around. Thus it is bigger than my iPhone 13 Pro. YMMV.

I quite like a smartphone. But I am capable of limiting my use. Perhaps that's the problem no?

Yeah I learned that security was pretty important after that and security means not buying nice shiny things until you have no money and having a decent buffer zone.

It was proximal routing optimisation in this case to decrease operating costs. They already had good approximation algorithms but they sold better than possible for a higher price than competitors and couldn't deliver.

I'll dump this one here as it's still annoying me a bit. So one afternoon I'm sitting there and our sales guy John came in (you know who you are if you're reading this) and described what he'd managed to sell a clie
