Have you actually built shoes in a shoe factory? Long days of dull and repetitive work, day after day, week after week, month after month, can be super exhausting mentally as well as physically. And it does show in terms of productivity.

Dunno, my Ryzen 7 1800X was relatively "top end" when I got it on launch day, and I'm already itching for 16 cores & faster RAM. I can't imagine using my T470p for work for five more years, it's already feeling

I'm pretty sure amdgpu has supported AMD's recent cards (from the past few years) before they hit the shelves. Same for intel. It's always fun seeing the commits adding support for chips that you can't buy yet. And I&

It's once a year here, for cars as old as mine. It's not a big deal though; it takes less than an hour and you can usually go without even having a reservation. Costs less than one tank of gas.

I've always been one to make strong emotional bonds to the music I listen to. I don't think it's got that much to do with scarcity, it's more about what role the music fills in my life. Having an endless stream of music

By my calculation, my car (including running costs) comes down to about 300 eur/month assuming I keep it for 5 years and get at least 1000 eur back when I sell or scrap it. (Reality: I'll probably get more out of it, or keep it l

Just as often, the problem is that the programmer had introduced assumptions (and complexity and problems) where none were required. Did they do it just for the heck of it? Or did a stakeholder ask them to add feature X because it "w

I haven't used that thing but if it is as you say, it sounds backwards and very rigid, and probably only good for games (with assumptions about how the application might want to use inputs). I don't think system level APIs should
