What’s the point of this? If you begin to think about how terrible RTO + sitting in a sea of 200 people is, you’ll drive yourself mad. The people in charge want you to idle chat more and churn out work less. Why fight it.

Hubris? The offshore team submitting 2000 line nonsense PRs from AI is reality. We’re living it. We see it every day. The business leaders cannot be convinced that this isn’t making less skilled developers more productive.

The problem is that content is dead. You can’t find answers any more on Google because every website is ai generated and littered with ads. YouTube videos aren’t much better. Minutes of fluff are added to hit a juicy 10 minute mark so you c

The people are usually real in my experience, although I’ve dealt with fake people a few times. Different person showing up to the office vs the video interview, man obviously just off camera giving answers. That second one is probably AI n

How do you square that against receiving, literally, 500 fake resumes, mostly from Indians, on day one? They all match the job posting. You can’t filter by name because that’s discrimination. I suspect AI is being used to eliminate the frau

FedEx ground for 8x8x4, 1lb, $25 And you don’t even know how to use USPS. Flat rate shipping would be cheaper at that distance for USPS. To really invent a scenario, ship to Hawaii. It’s subsidized by the USPS.

Can’t hire for anything else. Competence in development no longer exists. And AI is making this march to idiocy worse.

I have a C3 OLED and everything also looks better with HDR off. Games are just truly awful in making scenes completely in viewable, even when the HDR areas, the blacks and whites, have interactive elements in them you need to see and know a

Based on immigration rates and birth rates, Canada will be mostly Indian at some point in the future. The “future Canadian worker” is Indian.

A decibel reader isn’t a microphone that records, necessarily. Being obnoxiously loud is a societal ill and I applaud efforts to reduce this. No one wants to live next to an Airbnb house blasting music at 3am.

The Mozilla foundation is overtly political. The fact that they also support a browser is secondary.

I am fully unaware of any challenges to recent pardons. I don’t follow politics much and just knew about the blanket pardon that I assume all presidents will use going forward unless it’s challenged in court.

Trump can wait until the last day in office then issue pardons for any possible crimes, right? Biden did something similar I believe

No one goes to the theater because the picture is better. It often isn’t. Projectors aren’t maintained, or set up correctly, and audio balancing is often way off. People go to the movies to see new releases or have dedicated shared experien

If the van is loaded with equipment, or even if it isn’t, theft and robbery are common in most of the US. You can’t leave a van door open and not be extremely vigilant.

The designers make us commit war crimes with JavaScript. Can’t even use native form elements.

Your time scale is so small. There are people alive today that witnessed the moon landing on television. Galactic timescales are large. Plan for 10,000 years out, not tomorrow.

The box art is regular text, but immediately in game after starting the cartridge you get polygonal multicolored text. GBYRG Title screen seems more authoritative than box art, which during the NES/SNES era was quite wild. (See megaman

Mario teaches typing, Mario is missing. Where are my other Mario’s? This data is very incomplete, and thus I conclude that there are very many Mario’s missing.

Large json logs just won’t appear for hours, which makes it so fun to debug issues in deployed environments! Showing ALL the logs isn’t cool. Showing SOME logs at random is cool.

Nope. Universities are wild and their technology is weak. It’s always been this way.

Gambling against the house is a sad sight. But security maneuvering a passed out drunk person is much worse still.

In the US I suspect it’s common. In states with mail in voting, I suspect the fraud is even worse. Yes a real person voted. But no they did not have any clue what they were doing when they did.

Oof. The reading for names will always get me. Still worth knowing the name reading! Google maps has it showing up in a bunch of business names, too.

金子 is kinsu. https://jisho.org/search/%E9%87%91%E5%AD%90 Kane is not a normal reading for 金 in compound words unless this is an esoteric word I haven’t seen.

If you figure it out, pass it on to others. I haven’t been allowed to hire Americans in quite some time, and Covid destroyed any company support of an apprenticeship type setup. The last time I was able to hire an American with a will to le

It ruined the suspension of disbelief immediately for me though. A rural village that doesn’t do constant international trade should have people living there that all look, speak, dress, and act similarly. But the village looked like like a
