In MOST other first-world countries, the working class has the RIGHT to elect to work less than 40 hours/5 days per week (in exchange for a proportional reduction in salary). In some cases, you must be a parent to be eligible for this.

I don't even have a wife and kids yet, but I already find many of the video games I enjoyed as a teenager to be too demanding. Fallout New Vegas was an awesome game, and I remember spending virtually my entire summer vacation one year

Yeah, you're fucked unless you work fewer hours. By "fucked" I mean "doomed to a relatively-miserable existence". I don't care if you have a FETISH for writing code, you do not want to do it ~40 hours/week

If I worked a blue-collar/service job, making 1/5th what I make as a SWE, having to commute, stand on my feet all day, deal with customers... I'd do drugs. Like I get it. I get why people do drugs. I get why people don't

You spend most of your life at work (at least in the US). 24 hours in a day. 8 of them spent working. 1 hour for lunch. ~2 hours getting ready for work/sleep each day. 8 hours for sleep... that leaves you with ~5 hours per day, but you

From good ol' Chat GPT: The document is a research paper titled "The Google File System" and was published by Google in 2003. It describes the design and implementation of a new file system, called the Google File System (GFS

Why’s that? Because Github is scraping repos for Copilot?

I feel like the number of such chips required for “production scaling” would be so low that they could find a cache of said chips for said purpose if they wanted/needed to.

At the risk of sounding contrarian, I don’t think it’s mind-boggling at all. There are two types of software engineers out there: those who read to understand, and those who understand to read. What I mean by this is that I find most of my

I used this one, which fits a 15mm drive, but it’s tight: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5441566 There’s also this one that I did not try, which might fit 15mm drives a little better: https://www.thingiverse.c

I haven’t used KDE is several years, but I do use Gnome/Unity with Ubuntu and Fedora and while not entirely bug-free, I find them “adequate for full-time Linux use”. What are the reasons to use KDE over Gnome, aside from that Android p

I’m sure the topic of leetcode has been beaten to death on a forum such as this, but serious question: with ChatGPT, why WOULDNT I cheat, assuming the leetcode is the unmonitored/unproctored variety (most are this way)? Like seriously.

My “NAS” is a “slim” Intel NUC 8 with a 3D-printed “riser” that allows it to fit a 4TB (15mm) 2.5” HDD. No redundancy of course, but otherwise it’s superior to a legit NAS or Pi NAS in every way.

It’s because I spent a tens of hours doing research. I’m sure it would take me a lot longer if I had to specialist-hop until I found someone familiar with TOS

All told I had a pretty fun time trying to self-diagnose myself, and I did a better job diagnosing myself than the docs I saw. I firmly believe that the only reason I’m not on disability and unemployed is because I took my diagnosis and tre

To be clear, I haven’t been formally diagnosed, but after 3 docs I give up. There’s really no point anyway unless I’m looking to get it treated surgically. Even then, people say it’s hard to get a vascular surgeon to do surgery for TOS. The

Fair enough. I didn’t realize they were being so shady with the benchmarks. Isn’t Neo4j written in Java and Memgraph written in C++ (with lots of Python extensibility)? By that alone I would think Memgraph would be more performant most of t

I’ve done a lot of research on TOS and my findings are that TOS is A) very difficult to diagnose even with diagnostic imaging and B) considered much less-common than Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, and Tendonitis. I’ll add

I had my first real foray into the US healthcare system in 2022. I went to three orthopedic surgeons and a neurologist, and none of them diagnosed me correctly. I was having nerve pain in my hands, and they all jumped on “carpal tunnel synd

I like Agile, but I hate “Agile” (that is, how Agile is interpreted and implemented by the management of the companies I’ve worked at). I worked at Allstate years ago, and was on the team that piloted Agile (Scrum). It was done by the book

Yeah. I love writing code, but working with others while doing it has usually been unpleasant. The recurring theme is that management doesn’t understand how software is written, ignores tech debt, sets unrealistic and arbitrary deadlines, e

I mean it should come as no surprise that an in-memory graph DB outperforms one that stores data on a hard disk, even an NVMe SSD. I would also add that the primary sell for Memgraph seems to be “fast enough that it can process data as it c

What are radars? Is that the internal name Apple uses for bug reports? And more importantly, why would Apple ignore radars like this? It was clear (at least in the 10.8 days) that Apple cared about reliability and stability.

It’s a choice for many. I’m glad we aren’t forgetting about the less-fortunate in the world, but let’s be realistic too- at least in America, the middle class is pretty much entirely subscribed to consumerism. New iPhone every year, BMW whe

The article is paywalled but I would imagine DigitalOcean is screwed for many of the same reasons. As things do in our industry, I fully expect cloud computing to die out in lieu of an “on-prem renaissance” where companies realize they can
