Developing OSes and software was clearly an unsustainable business. It's obvious in hindsight that cloud infrastructure was the way to go. Cloud infrastructure has become a commodity though and you can replace your cloud provider eas

What's the harm here if the APIs are temporary and they don't have a history of elongating the lives of temporary APIs like this? They've stated the purpose of these "proposed APIs" and we have no evidence from the

Once one gets caught, everything gets grounded and security beefs the fuck up for at least six months. Happy terrorist times if it’s guy #10 but if it’s guy #1, that’s operational funding totally in the trash and now the FBI will be looking

You're implying that none of them are on part-time daycare because they should easily be able to convert to full-time daycare now. That is false. You cannot simply convert up if the daycare does not have capacity, to say nothing of the

Am I the only one who opted for the mattress-on-floor (MoF) strategy because I was too poor to get a good bedframe and the cheap bedframe squeaks heavily impacted my sleep and the sleep of those around me?

My lead is busy 100% of his day. If we don't force him to purposefully have the 15 minute standup inefficiency in his day, I won't get time with him ever. I simply won't ever outrank the other people asking for him.

There are a lot of syntactic sugar improvements the committee could make that they simply refuse to. Named parameters and function pointer syntax are compile-time fixes that would have zero runtime costs, yet it's 2024 and we've h

It's unfair to judge the EU piecewise but then judge the US as a whole. Either let us compare apples to apples by judging the whole EU against the US or let us judge individual European member states against individual US states.
