I'm pretty old, and I've NEVER had issues finding a job. I've been unemployed for 6 months now. Thinking about getting out of software development TBH. It isn't that I'm a bad developer, I've almost always gott

Not unless they stop using copyrighted material it won't. Remember, the legal cases are still ongoing.

Yep. Fidelity has no fees. I'm surprised they don't own the planet by now.

You may need a DOCSIS 3.1 compatible modem to reach advertised speeds. Yes, you should get a new modem. Make sure it is DOCSIS 3.1 compatible. The SB8200 would be a good choice.

Small numbers. My hospital bill was almost 8 figures before insurance. Insurance contract rates down to high six figures. That is basically instant bankruptcy for most folks. Health insurance can also be free for low income folks, so it is

Yes you do. Negotiation will still leave you hundreds of thousands in debt if you are hospitalized. I know from experience. You can probably negotiate the bill down to what the insurance pays, but not beyond that. Plus, hospitals don’t thin

I was trying to say this in polite terms, but failed to find the words. I am absolutely not knocking India at all. My all time best manager came from India and he taught me A LOT about software development in the earlier 2000s. He was incre

There was a car dealer (Honda affiliate) I had the unfortunate "pleasure" of dealing with back in the mid-late 2000s that stored finance applications by numeric incrementing ids. I never did report it, but I was able to pull up a

No, I have to disagree here. I'm not an artist, but I respect the creations of others. OpenAI does not. They could have trained on free data, but it did not want to because it would cost more (finding humans to find/sanction said

I am working on a search engine that checks a site for affiliate links from known providers and demotes sites that have a large amount of them. In addition: * it demotes sites with popups (think newsletter sign ups) * it demotes sites that

Hotbot was amazing back in the day. Google scored me post high school schoolin', however, so I won't complain...Shoot Google helped me make the local news back in the day!

Welcome to AI in general. Billions wasted on a pointless endeavor. 10 years from now folks are going to be laughing at how billions of dollars and productivity was flushed down the drain to support Microsoft Word 2.0. AI is a bubble. Do you

I had absolutely NO problem finding employment during that time period. First jobs are usually the "first" to go FYI. I'm a senior dev, and even back then I had a ton of experience. I agree with OP. This is easily the biggest

You aren't. The economy is absolute garbage right now. I'm in the US and the situation is similar here. I've never had an issue finding a job before either, but I've been unemployed since the middle of 2023. Assuming you

What ads and what sale of data? Ars does not sell or give away paid subscriber data, and they certainly don't show ads to paid subscribers.

Cheaper for me to stay home, not to mention that one of the reasons I work a remote desk job is that I am a fall risk.

I have to ask, why? I use the default settings without issue. Face ID is near instant, and I have almost never had my phone go to sleep when i don’t want it to.

My biggest complaints about trying to find a job today are: * Recruiters ghosting/not following up. * Companies post dozens of job openings, I apply, nobody follows up (even with a rejection) but keeps posting new positions (looking at

I mean, that is basically JSX is it not? I agree with your points, however. How the W3C has not come up with a good solution is beyond me.

I like where the Rails team is going with Rails. No JS bloat at all, just simple and clean JS. No compilation step or anything.

I too am an SBC hoarder. It has gotten bad. :D I bought the original Raspberry Pi 2b as part of a homebrew NAS. Later I bought the Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi Compute 4 + board, Pi 5, 2 RISC-V boards, and a bunch of other boards. I don't have a nee
