The people willing to put up with mediocre and bad software aren't willing to spend money on it either. Just look at the revenue gap between iOS and Android. It makes sense that people put time and effort into pursuing the fickle users

Definitely the latter. I'm in the same boat, my kid is now the third owner of a handed down 6S and it still does everything without being slow or lacking app support. The features it is missing are mostly neural engine related and are

I'm not all that familiar with orbital transfers and costs. Given the 20 year time frame and launch quantities needed, is a favorable transfer window always needed (I'm probably asking if it is always cheapest)? Seems like there&#

On technology specifically I tend to view these types of threads more through the lens of tribalism than shilling. Like, I don't have reason to believe Lenovo or HP is paying people to whine about Apple online, I'm willing to beli

Thursday Boots astroturfs a large number of the comment sections of posts about their products. Red Wing, Nicks and Truman have periodically had self-identified employees that frequented the site and their specific subs if they exist. The s

Generally speaking I search Reddit for genuine looking negative reviews not the glowing ones. I'm looking at Reddit to steer me away from obviously bad choices. Basically, shilling has become so pervasive that positive reviews are au

The idea that a genuinely Dead Internet might be an improvement over the current internet experience is a fun one, and one I don't entirely disagree with.

Are you asking how to create your own pathological processes to use on PMs? That would be CYA emails tracking their decision making process and the costs associated.

That seems like it would be incredibly hard to perform convincingly and if you could, you've found your true calling in hosting/announcing/commentating live events not sucking at software gigs.

I would disagree, searching for a topic or question on any search engine and appending 'reddit' gets me reddit discussions that are frequently relevant to my question (game tips, bugs encountered in some software, often real user

The intent could very well be to get people to volunteer information you otherwise can’t directly ask. “Life story” is such an odd way to label it if they just want to know your career path to date.

K9s is just a convenient interface to kubernetes, I've not done much with it in production but if anything were to happen I would just use the kubectl commands directly. It's like emacs magit vs git itself. And just like git GUIs,

Custom ROMS are locked out of every Verizon device sold as well. Locked bootloaders have relegated a huge chunk of Pixel 3s to the landfill prematurely.

Tag lines have been short and catchy for as long as humans have been shouting them or trying to put them on signage. Has there ever been a time when a group of protesters flew under the banner of a long nuanced argument instead?

11 is better but there's still a few of these tunnel vestiges that show up, like removing a driver from a hardware device or adding NTP servers.

It's not really evident you've actually held an iPhone or operated a Mac based on how strangely off your complaints are. Gesture and hot corner features and complexity hasn't really changed in over a decade. Getting to the ho

It doesn't wrap Amazon's S3 it just provides an S3 compatible API. Our use case was to have application code that only interacted with file storage through a single S3-api compatible filesystem adapter. Then we'd either spin

I know this is a smaller and uncommon use case but in a previous job I used minio so that we could have a single storage implementation for an application that was most commonly deployed to offline scenarios but when deployed to online scen

Yeah, "calling out sick" allows for the possibility that people aren't really sick and there might be abuse of sick time happening for other reasons, like coordinated sick-out protests or just individuals being fed up. In thi

A flame doesn’t tell you the temperature of what’s in the pot or pan either. You’ve trained yourself to intuitively understand your gas cooktop, you can do the same with an induction stove presenting you a heating number too. I don’t find i

But we don't only speak in idioms. "Quite" and "few" are some the least ambiguous words you can come across in English, "quite few" should be clear so long as you don't add words and substitute in you

Reliable but bad old code becomes the piece labeled "do not touch" and can spawn bad code around it. By itself it never gets worse but it might be like the broken window theory of a code base.

Vodka is often triple distilled and almost always diluted to 100 proof or less. Moonshine has no such standards. But yeah, homemade sugar solution and wine yeast would be your most efficient per dollar.

If you want to get drunk and that's your only value you place on a drink why even choose wine to compare? You can buy bottom shelf vodka and get more ethanol for your buck than Two Buck Chuck. Hell, vodka is wastefully distilled multip
