Usually dependent on the area and their population density. I know people who would drive out to more rural areas just to get a quicker DMV experience. The whole taking appointments but still making you wait kills me a little inside though.

> I think we’re going to start seeing Republicans test the waters with breaking rank with Trump soon though. Been hearing that weekly for 8 years. If everything before this didn't trigger significant action, I doubt this will.

Pessimistically I think it's more out in the open because they think it won't catch up to them.

Saying their identity is "ideology" is part of the problem. There's plenty of violent movements that can be framed as just "eradicating ideology", when in reality that is just a culture, condition, religion, or trai

Centralized media at least gives you an entity to rally behind or against. If a news network is pushing propaganda it's easier to say "this place is a problem". With social media it's much more nebulous. Opinions on the

The zero interest in big picture and fiefdoms hits home pretty hard. Even if a subgroup wants to put emphasis on the big picture that's just one more set of hands on the rug. Suddenly you're spending more time arguing and fighting

> It’s not you that’s critical, it’s the job you fill that’s critical. I think at a big enough company the people making layoff decisions don't know or care what job is critical. In some cases that means your job wasn't as crit

Probably not a coincidence that the Internet became a lot less nerdy and cool around the time HD streaming was viable. Modern social media shows that people want the next evolution of TV not books.

I like the movie a lot, but the beginning is a little problematic from a modern viewing iirc. It discusses how the poor and uneducated produce more kids than the higher classes, thus a dumb population after many generations. Factually true

Though, ironically, msec is still ambiguous because that could be milli or micro. It's often milli so I wouldn't fault it, but we use micros just enough at my workplace where the distinction matters. I would usually do timeout_mic

This isn't a new problem. "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it."

Loneliness is a really good way to describe it. I definitely have had similar experiences to the author. It can make you feel really pessimistic and like a freak outcast for actually caring. It makes me feel arrogant or overly confident too

So now you have an overconfident human using an overconfident tool, both of which will end up coding themselves into a corner? Compilers at least, for the most part, offer very definitive feedback that act as guard rails to those overconfid

I feel like I've seen this comment so many times but actually genuine. The cult like dedication is kind of baffling.

The biggest feature gap I noticed was the lack of hooks. Using Gerrit requires a commit hook to insert the change ID. jj's docs mention this specific use case, but their workaround (using a custom commit msg editor command that wraps v

Going from g3 to AOSP has been downright painful. It was like suddenly working in a different company the contrast was so stark.

I've noticed that, while these tracks are still technical, you will still find yourself in more and more meetings and writing less code. I think everyone needs to come to terms with whether or not they want a promotion regardless of th

It seems really easy to associate a company with its internal domain though? Unless the company treats it as a secret only known between machines.

Any shared resource seems to give rise to security issues. Extracting data through side channels in the hardware's architecture is what woke me up to this.

Your example of reusing utensils assumes cleaning is free. Let's say that COVID v2 requires restaurants to sterilize utensils so thoroughly that it costs $1000 per utensil. Obviously at that point most restaurants would opt to just buy

Seems dangerous when the "risky behavior" is outside the control of the person being insured. Or if what you infer as risky behavior isn't actually risky. Is being born with a heart defect risky behavior? We have regulations

I agree with who you're responding to. Cheating, to me, would imply that there's some sort of hard coded guiding to the LLM. This just seems like typical LLM hallucinations?

Just my person experience, but I got my relatively uncommon name on .dev for $12/yr so I'm pretty happy with that. While the situation worked in my favor, I agree .dev probably should have been the official internal only TLD.

To be fair, 10+ years ago this conversation definitely would have been pretty silly. Maybe about as interesting as asking "is there other life in the universe". No one knows the answer, it's an incredibly over discussed topic

Apple Music supports lossless music and uploading your own songs, that's part of why I prefer them over Spotify. Though I'm not sure if they support lossless uploads now or not.

Their employees and executives make the majority of their income from RSUs. You can't exactly run a company if your entire workforce gets a huge pay cut each year from a poorly performing stock.

My degree required a communications course, and a full year senior project course that included pitching, design documents, and demos. My understanding is plenty other universities require similar courses. Furthermore, even if that were tru

I really enjoy using VSCode, it's highly configurable and ubiquitous. However, I do get concerned about handing so much control over my editor to Microsoft. While VSCode is ostensibly open source, forking it may become just as hard as

This was indeed my first approach, but my employer disallows the use of synergy between personal and corporate devices (I could use it across two corporate devices though).

After going down the hellish rabbit hole of KVM and thunderbolt dock shopping, I started to fantasize about doing a project like this. So many horror stories of cheap electronics frying your ports, the switch adding input delays, etc. It&#x
