I wouldn't hate them so much if they didn't suck: slow, laggy, buggy, overcomplicated, bloated. Why is this? My few datapoints are 2016, 2017, and 2021 Subarus. Are there any cars out there with sharp, snappy UIs that actually w

I left software engineering after about 10 years to become a patent attorney. I'm about 3 months in (post-law school). I left software engineering because I just couldn't see myself doing it for another 20 years, especially if it

Fascinating survey of how we got here. I would also note that, whatever the API, parser games still leave something to be desired in the year 2022 compared to what is now possible with other gaming frameworks. I'm thinking of indie ga

Another aspect of this that I observed more than once is the fawning reverence that the managerial class and other middlemen seemed to have towards the c-suite. I remember the excitement surrounding the arrival of new execs, including detai

The real story is how late this news is coming. The bar exam is in 2 weeks. ExamSoft is just now notifying examinees? Is it really possible they do no testing in-house with newer processors? I mean, yes, of course it's possible. Bu
