Some stay. And if the younger ones coming up find a lot of peers are also educated, they'll stay too, to work with them. Yes, you lose some. But not all. And that's how you start.

I doubt it. Game companies need guys willing to sign their life away, months at a time. I worked in EDA, now storage. TONS of very talented people.

Many of their supporters wouldn't know a webpage from a database schema and once thought Bill Gates would send him $$ for forwarding emails. Like my 60+ BIL.

I guess after ~30 years past grad school in the software industry, having had high hopes for the internet and everything back in the 90s, I'm way too cynical. This won't be used to "close the care gap", unless they can c

Seriously. If it wasn't for Kaiser making this somewhat sane (even though maybe their care isn't as good as "the best" specialists), I would probably be a nervous wreck, trying to juggle stuff for my family..

Do you live in the US? There were supporters of a certain party complaining that the president wasn't hurting the right people fast enough..

by hn_acc1 2y ago
Agreed. My parents in Canada both had cancer treatments without delay, they both recovered, etc. With $0 out of pocket. I'd at minimum have to pay the Kaiser max co-pay here for a similar problem.

My acquaintance who moved to the US a few years before I did (both from Canada) said it this way: if you have a good job / are wealthy, US healthcare is miles ahead of Canada. If you are poor, it is much, much worse.

It's got to be better than that version of Word that let us create a document on computer X (shared student lab of computers back in the day) and then, after saving and coming back, refused to load the same document back due to lack of

It was a Lotus. I don't see how you can get that so badly wrong (they aren't even remotely similar) and claim to know the state of Tesla at that time very well.

All those telecom companies have also been infiltrated by China RECENTLY, and they don't even know how long or how badly, AIUI. Good point though. My current cars drive just fine without internet - I would hope future cars would contin

Wow, so many memories there! Yeah, BASIC (TI-99), then Atari Basic, then Basic XL (along with reading a 6502 book), then GFA BASIC, then Megamax / Laser C, then Pascal and 68K and Ansi C at uni. RISC was part of the 4th year digital ar

If you believed Trumps disavowal, you're seriously gullible. We all knew that was fake.

Once Elon has all the passwords, it won't matter what Trump says about him.. He's in forever.

Quite interesting. After being raised fundamentalist / evangelical and quite strongly so, in my late 40s I had a "holy shit, I NO LONGER believe in God" moment.. That was quite a thing, and I never thought I would think that

Inequality as we see today is bad, regardless of progress on poverty. Some people today could endanger the lives of those they disagree with, simply by doxxing them. Yet, they'll face little to no opposition in the courts because they&

Wonder if someone used "qubes" as a way to work around a ban on "pubes" and the filter thought it was porn?

Yeah, these days it's basically the opposite: since a computer making a decision means we (in the C-suite) can't be held accountable, ALL decisions should be made by computer..

That's returning to a former employer. That's very different if you left on good terms - they already "interviewed" you for some number of years.

by hn_acc1 2y ago
That's maybe true in finance / investment / hedge funds. I don't think it applies to tech / software much..

Yup, another similar situation here - ~20 years in Bay Area, almost 15 years at one company, no one in my "network" said anything about jobs. I did contact a few directly and "not hiring right now". A bunch of others (si

Yeah, but TBF.. in my early teens, my "internet" consisted of a 300 baud modem hooked up to an Atari 800xl (my 2nd computer - the TI 99-4/A was "obsolete"), my "manual" was a 6502 assembly book I borrowed

Hard work is preferred by employers over slacking off (for obvious reasons), so that's what gets promoted as the way to success.

We had a lot of rain the last couple of years (before 2024), which got us out of severe drought for several years back into "moderate". 2024 has been QUITE dry, relatively speaking, but because of the previous years of a LOT of ra
