Replacing a hard drive is an "edge case"? Something that has literally taken just a couple of minutes on virtually any consumer desktop (and laptop) for _decades_? What sort of twisted Stockholm Syndrome has afflicted you?

The problem with this for Twitch, specifically, is that Twitch involves money. Many people make streaming a career, and Twitch actively encourages this sort of behavior. At a normal workplace, while people _can_ simply be fired, they typica

I mean, sure. If you have the capability and the inclination, go for it. I live in a house that is quite large and I can't come close to fully populating a 24 port switch in a useful way. I would not detract from your network going the

Maybe you and I have different opinions of "enthusiast" in this context. There is really only so much you're going to do on a home network. You set it up and once it's going, it requires very little maintenance. I would

Garbage was a bit of an indulgent word. It certainly is relevant and useful technology. It just isn't useful for home users, at least none that I've ever met.

So the question for becomes: is there just not a good enthusiast market for this stuff? I have met a number of people who are "network nerds", so I'm inclined to think the market does exist. With any of the plethora of consu

This is a really important point, and it highlights a pattern that humanity is all too familiar with: overcompensation. The dominant view on social issues swings like a pendulum. When one extreme falls out of disfavor, there is a shift towa

I had the misfortune of working with a person who decided that everything was an affront to her existence. And being that she was a woman, firing her was out of the question because of the potential discrimination lawsuit. God help you if y

Your ability to turn the smallest of technical hurdles into an insurmountable problem is truly impressive.

I bet if you find a super smart, top tier developer working on something that motivates them, you'd see a 10x vs average developers. I also think there are some problem domains that are just too difficult for some people to work on, an

A 10x engineer? Hah! You haven't even seen my final form. But in all seriousness, there is a wide range of productivity levels. That includes some people who even have negative productivity. Ever been unfortunate enough to be on a team

It's not really baffling. The underlying analog nature of bits becomes problematic when many bits become ambiguous. When nearly all of them are unambiguous, presenting bits as strictly on or off is perfectly serviceable. As almost ever

The problem is not inflation. The problem is if you raise everyone's salary, the cost to produce increases. Therefore the cost of products must go up.

If all companies decided to 4x all salaries tomorrow, the cost of all the things we pay for would rise drastically, offsetting whatever extra you're making. The answer is not as simple as "companies should just pay more."

Because it is so easy to tell lies with statistics, I think that personal experiences are a good way to gauge the validity of what is being conveyed. But one also has to understand that their personal experience is not the sum total of expe

I don't see where the misrepresentation is. Are you trying to say that we can have a functional society without raising people to put aside primitive impulses for the good of everyone? Because it should be obvious that is impossible. A
