All of our radio signals since it's inception hasn't travelled far enough to matter. Even after short distances, out radio signals would be indistinguishable from noise. If humanity stood on an alpha Centauri planet, our closest

With the advent of microservices, it has exacerbated the situation where many dev shops only build, unit test their own little service and call it a day without verifying the end to end functionality -- the "works in my microservice&qu

This is a symptom of a larger issue in tech where C/E suites are trying really hard to turn engineers into some sort of fungible cogs in the system that can be swapped in and out and in different parts of the system and still have ever

Not really, at least not right now. I know my workplace and a few others are weary of ex-Amazon employees. Usually get picked for interview if there's no one else and gets an extra behavioral round. For management positions, it better

Also forgot the part where India and North/West African regions were incredibly wealthy in the past and were basically strip mined by colonialism. It's been only 50 years or so that they're trying to catch up.

If you're in the ruling class and even remotely intelligent, you'd realize a decently sized middle class is absolutely essential to their own prosperity. Throughout history, when too many people get pushed lower in the social&#x2

It's a restaurant. If high flying executives with great careers can commit crimes to make a extra buck, the person flipping your burger isn't going to be much more pragmatic.

I live in Seattle and previously in California. Both states have a high min wage, for waiters included. It hasn't stopped the majority of restaurants to gouge insane % off tips from patrons.

Mazda. They've had dual input for a bit. Now they're fully going physical by ditching the touchscreen inputs. My Mazda 2020 technically has a touch screen, I've never had to actually use it

You can deploy on both quite easily. The newer .NETs are properly multiplatform

It's weird, regular SMSs do come through, as far as I know. It's hard to tell as I don't get many SMSs, mostly iMessage and Whatsapp. I'm on AT&T, and something about automated messages from those 5-6 digit numbers n

Nope. I travel to EU often with roaming on. OTP SMSs for many services don't come through. It's a real pain.

Currently work for a very large household name SaaS, previously on Salesforce. I'm willing to bet good money that SO does not remotely come close to the amount of writes in either of these systems.

Stackoverflow is a much simpler mostly read only, easily cacheable site compared to a workflow heavy SaaS. They're not even remotely comparable.

This is pretty nice. But for the price, very small devs might not bother, and a larger app might as well roll their own. The calculations don't really seem intensive for either client or server.

I rarely ever need to use SO on a daily basis. I've been programming on the .NET ecosystem for a while now and usually if I need anything I just directly go to the docs. I used SO a lot when I was a junior engineer. Most of my issues n

Except there's no rationale to the 5-day work week either. Not too log ago, the proletariat class worked 7 days, then 6 due to religious coercion, then 5 due to unions. The owner class would have no problem asking labor to work 7 days

An analogy for the desperate looking for employment, colluding to suppress wages across the industry, skewed supply-demand ratios in their favor. Take your pick.

RIP to the best phone / form factor in the market today. I really hate the size of smartphones today. The 13 Mini is the just perfect for my hands. I hope it lasts long enough until Apple decides to bring it back.

And many CEOs run multiple companies and is part of several boards of other companies. Why is it suddenly unethical for a mid level, much less paid employee to do so?

As someone who loves Factorio but now no longer have the time to sink hours into it, I wish they came up with an easy and quick mode. That and somehow improve the early game slog that can be pretty dreadful.

This was fun. Managed to get a dude in an electric guitar thrown in so Jon Snow could vibe to it in battle. Unfortunately, the game was stuck in a loading spinner just as Ned Stark rose from the dead and arrived at the battlefield in a Panz

You really hit the nail on the head. I'm technically capable but discord really gives me the vibes of corp slack channels where I don't care to participate in, because they're not paying me to. I still can't seem to get

I don't it's hostility per se. If a company closed down their office, then it's certain that they are now remote-only and the RTO aficionados will have no choice but to find a new employer that shares their preference. But if

Pretty fun twist on Geoguessr! The slider needs a bit of work and some intuitiveness on mobile but top notch otherwise. Managed to get a best score of 41,206/50,000 without looking anything up.

I think it's more likely suspicion of large pharmaceuticals trying to sell their newly updated vaccine. Not supporting or condoning, just my perception of OP's comment

It's a very large company. Each org/vertical might as well be it's own company, and it was just that disconnected and isolated from each other. There are entire teams maintaining ancient products that I've never heard of
