It's really easy though, actually, isn't it? Just don't toss problems over the fence to China. i.e. don't outsource things.

It sounds more like Windows has a denial of service bug? I'm not sure how this is Hisense's fault

The workaround I've landed on is double-click and hold, then drag in the correct direction. Precise enough to just grab the UUID, imprecise enough to be quick and not annoying

Surprised to see Obsidian not being the top recommendation, I switched to it recently and am loving it. I use SyncThing to sync my notes between all my devices for free.

Not trying to start an argument, but I see this headline and think: "sure, I'll get another booster." I'm confused seeing all the people in the comments saying they won't get another booster. Should I be considering

The crux of this argument seems to be that UUIDs are too long? Which I disagree with. I can't memorize them, no, and it would be cumbersome to try to say one aloud, but these aren't situations I've ever found myself in. Does

I agree. I feel like in my decade or so of professional experience, server-side rendering has made sense a handful of times and client-side rendering has made sense a handful of times. As you're saying: each tool comes with its own str

I'd even take it a step further and say that modern psychiatry and psychotherapy are generally just another arm of the state, directing people towards acceptable behaviors decided by white men. Much of it ultimately revolves around bei

Yeah, there's a lot of entitlement in this post. It sounds like this person is mad that they heavily financially contributed to an open-source project and they didn't get a return on their investment. I don't have enough cont

Ignorant question: what's the alternative? A normal mutex? I just sort of assumed atomics were abstractions around some type and a mutex.

I actually worked on this for several months a few years ago. The project suffered from massive scope creep and overall disorganization. At one point, we could load the main menu and get in game, but then the project changed directions a fe

The mobile app Paprika does this and works great, in case anyone wants to use something like this.

I was laid off about a month ago (senior software engineer). I remember the whole job search for my last position, back in June 2021, lasted all of about two weeks. This time, it feels like there's significantly fewer interesting posit

Careful with Pocari Sweat; similar to Gatorade, it's full of sugar and not really suitable for all-day drinking.

This has also been my experience with a new ThinkPad P1 G5. Wifi didn't work out of the box with stable releases of any of the distros I wanted to use, I had to use the testing release, and even then the wifi is unusably bad unless I&#

If you can scam your way into a few jobs at a time, and keep a revolving door of jobs, you might be able to hold upwards of 10 jobs simultaneously and collect paychecks from each of them until they fire you.

Earlier this year, I interviewed this guy who gave me really strange vibes. He would stall for a good 15-20 seconds after each question I asked... and then spit out a perfectly worded answer. I google'd some specific, peculiar phrases

The Stallman copypasta kind of explains this verbatim: > I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux

I feel like we're well past due for some kind of price hike on AAA video games. Games were $60 when I was a kid, and inexplicably, they still are, for the most part. Unfortunately, since investors have figured out that the subscription

To be fair, the first step towards refactoring is understanding the existing code -- ideally, knowing everywhere it is used, all of its behaviors, and importantly, its history, so that you don't break anything, and so that you don&#x27
