That's definitely a real thing. It's beneficial to try to steer the ship rather than stop it - instead of buying like-new stuff, restrict yourself to getting second-hand stuff from FB marketplace or Craigslist, or to sales. This c

It would be great if you spent any time at all educating yourself about the science and actual experiences behind it, rather than spouting off about what you assume to be true based off of nothing. Your willful ignorance of objective fact d

Remind yourself when that dreaded e-mail comes around that these are not markers of failed projects but trophies of new skills learned! ...but don't necessarily renew them.

Also worth pointing out that ADHD is one of the most well understood diorders out there, and one of the most easily testable and medicated. I can't count how many people I know or have heard from who have struggled with "motivatio

"This thing that medical professionals say is real isn't real, and you can tell that because astrology isn't real either". The reality is that, for a lot of people, their struggles aren't "their fault".

If you're not sure how logging debug information can help you find bugs then I'm not sure what to say. Especially if you've been programming for four decades, I would think it would be obvious how logging information can help

I think you're getting downvoted because it's not a valid question - debug logging and unit testing are two separate things, and the OP didn't say anywhere that he prefers this to unit tests. Your question presupposes a dicho

How many times has Microsoft had some kind of product that isn't taking off how they wanted to, so they just rename it and give it a new coat of paint? Microsoft Office? I think you mean Office 365! What does that mean? Nothing, it&#x2

It's also easier to get validation from an LLM than a human in the situation where you're being a horrible or irrational person and want someone to back you up. Case in point: https://nypost.com/2025/07/2

The program is producing correct output, for technical values of correct. The LLM is a statistical model that predicts what words should come next based on current context and its training data. It succeeds at that very well. It is not

Another example: a custom kernel build or kernel module that backdoors your system or steals data at the kernel level. Secure boot provides the opportunity for a chain of trust that goes from the firmware manufacturer all the way down to yo

The problem here isn't that Microsoft is the one signing the shim, but that we can't trust systems manufacturers to update their systems, or even to have systems that can be correctly updated. A public signing institution (or at l

Can easily imagine companies like Dell selling you a system with Ubuntu preinstalled but without Windows signing keys so you can't run Windows on an Ubuntu laptop (or vice-versa) with Secure Boot on an unmodified system. Not out of mal

Not to mention that firmware updates are often necessary for things like supporting new CPUs. Immutable firmware means that your system can never improve or expand to support new hardware, and I would hate to have to buy a new motherboard t

The two domains are Github.io subdomains; if you look at the user accounts for those domains, they seem to be completely different people - actual people, with actual code, history, links, socials, etc., and living in different cities even.

Would love if FF could support VA-API decoding + Wayland + GPU acceleration on Ubuntu by default, rather than having to follow a possibly outdated Arch linux guide to hack it into working at least some of the time.

It can be an issue of behavior; for example, Redis recommended disabling transparent huge page support in Linux because of (among other things?) copy-on-write memory page behaviors, and still does if you're going to persist data to dis
