Some of their decisions didn't make any sense, even at the time. For example, each champion is coded separately for each team, there isn't just a single champion where they toggle a flag or something. That's led to bugs where

Yep, I've been burned by that. Spent a lot of time going above and beyond because I wanted our product to be the best it could be, but when it came time to downsize, they still laid me off instead of the employees who barely did anythi

Not everyone sees their company as their group. Companies like to talk about how they treat their employees like family, but it's just a way to manipulate them into doing extra work. Once you see it for what it is, it's easy to st

"Bitcoing drives renewable energy" is one of the most nonsensical arguments I've ever heard. It's not like the components for solar panels and windmills grow on trees, and bitcoin miners aren't going to just stop ex

I think it's just marketing. The devs where I work started promoting everything that isn't a web page as "native", and web pages that don't have external dependencies as "static", even though they are stil

I wonder if the increase in ADHD diagnoses can be tied to school becoming more focused on sitting still in a room for a long period of time. At least for me, I was doing really well in school when classes were ~50 minutes, and some included

It varied from state to state. I live in Maryland, and there was maybe a 2 week period last spring where you weren't allowed to drive anywhere except to get groceries and medicine, or if you were an essential employee for a business th

There was a study released not long ago that came to that same conclusion regarding schools. It found that most students who were infected didn't catch it at school, but from family members and friends after hours.

Depends on the type of chiropractor you go to. Obviously the "I can cure IBS by re-aligning your spine" types are bullshit, but some of them are basically a combination of a masseuse and physical therapist. People I knew in the mi

Corelan Cybersecurity Research[1] is a good starting point. There haven't been any new articles in ~5 years, but some of the techniques in the linked article are covered. The /r/netsec subreddit is also a suprisingly good sou

It doesn't sound like he's bragging about it, he's mentioning shitty things he's done and how it's common among people in SV. I had to look it up, but calling yourself a "wastrel" doesn't sound like b

No, the site has a timeline that says it was reported in January, but Valve didn't fix it until they got publicly shamed for not fixing the 2 year old RCE.

From my experience, the problem is that most infosec positions are powerless to do anything to increase security at the company, and are primarily there for PR or compliance reasons. The positions seem to be mostly filled with people who wa

All they'd need is a heartrate monitor to cover every type of exercise. Some healthcare companies already offer monitoring for a discount as well. The most common I've seen is a pedometer that reports if you've reached a targ

You should take some personal responsibility and stop blaming your life choices on other people. There's also a world of difference between saying that a FAANG salary isn't the most important part of a job for some people, and say

Which is why "at least nothing had to die" as an argument falls apart pretty quickly as a reason for eating Beyond Meat burgers. Pretty much everyone has different lines on which animals they find acceptable to kill, and I don&#x2

I've had the same experience. I keep a deep orange filter on my monitor all the time, and I noticed my eyes started hurting a lot when I forgot to turn the filter back on after I had temporarily disabled it. There is also some evidence

The most recent DLC they released broke a lot of stuff, and was clearly unfinished, because it still had placeholder assets in it. Sometimes the people complaining actually are right about what they're talking about.

That doesn't work out as well as it sounds. Unsuprisingly, the amount of women willing to have sex with strangers for money is relatively low. Studies have shown that legalizing prostitution increases the rate of human trafficking to m

In the most recent email chain where they banned UMN, GKH said that they were going to have to complain to the university again. From what I understand, the IRB review was initiated by the researchers themselves after receiving backlash fro

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but based on the Rust Foundation website, it looks like the point of the organization is mainly to allocate funds to pay people to do work relating to the Rust language and community. So it seems like p

They'd already complained to UMN about the research, and nothing was done about it. It wasn't just the IRB that allowed it to continue.
