Depending on the company, you sometimes get routed to the angry people recovery section when you do this. And so then, the Comcast agent on the other end is in stern counselor mode ready to de-escalate what seems to the robot to be a fuming

I would not. I know a handful of folks who can kinda sorta make their way through hello world in assembly with the docs open, and a handful more who could maybe implement some of the simplest coreutils like cat, maybe. But most devs I know

I only wish I could find these "a little bit empty", "80-85%" flights. Any flight I've been on in the past 4 years has been filled to the brim and gate-checking anyone who didn't pony up for Premium Economy or

GP is clearly providing examples of categories of tasks. Sure, not all languages do “async fn foo()”, but almost all problem domains involve some sort of making sure the right things happen at the right times, which is in a similar ballpark

Oftentimes comically lower. I remember in Chicago the interstates having posted speed limits of 45mph... the average flow of traffic outside of rush hour was easily north of 70mph. Looking even at normal arterial streets, many streets in Se

Amazing. I hope this gets tons of use shaming zero-effort drive by time wasters. The FAQ is blissfully blunt and appropriately impolite, I love it.

To each their own. The OS is easily one of the most frustrating I’ve ever been required to use. It does some things very well, but many things absolutely infuriatingly. Now, yes, almost everything about Apple’s hardware UX is a light year a

I’ll give you an anecdote: my work laptop is an M3 Pro MBP, and my Dell U4025QW works just fine with it over Thunderbolt at 120Hz VRR

You write that in italics as if to imply it’s a law that cannot be questioned. Quite a number of shops do not engineer software like that, or only engineer software like that where it fits the environment the software lives in, or otherwise

I think some or maybe even many of those shortcomings will apply to software, too. Making actual good software is not as trivial as writing “make me an app”, much as making an actual good spoon is not as trivial as throwing an STL at a prin

VSCode is not a “given” - I certainly don’t use, or ever intend to use, it. Patch files are excellent for small diffs at a glance. Sure, I can also `git remote add coworker ssh://fork.url` and `git diff origin/main..coworker&

Tell me about it. I remember being able to snag a nice room at a Courtyard/Hampton caliber of hotel for like $100 in 2016-18 timeframe. Based on https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/2016?amount=100 I wo

Not quite third world country, but yes, the 25-35% built-in discount when visiting Vancouver or Victoria from Seattle or Bellingham is quite nice :) Similar discounts to visiting the Midwest, with none of the Midwest part!

In the startup world, BYOD is/was exceedingly common. All but two jobs of my career were happy to allow me to use my own Linux laptop and eschew whatever they were otherwise going to give me. Obviously enterprises aren’t commonly BYOD

I think you vastly overestimate the number of orgs using “agents” at all in software development, let alone as an active part of the review process for code, and ESPECIALLY the number who consider such bots equally valuable contributors to

Nearly all modern SOCs have built in RAM now. Apple Silicon does it, AMD Strix Halo and beyond do it, Intel Lunar Lake does it, most ARM SOCs from vendors other than Apple do it… Now, unified memory shared freely between CPU and GPU would

You can’t stop it from being mercilessly pirated, and it’s a fool’s errand to try, unless you want to go down the user hostile route much of the ebook industry insists on (vendor specific reading apps/devices serving as DRM). Bandcamp

Nothing in TFA or the NBC article linked by TFA provides enough information to conclude reckless homicide. All that is confirmed is a car leaving a roadway, crashing, and catching fire. What's your source for concluding reckless homici

Fully disagree. I use zero so-called "AI" features in my day to day life. None. Not one. Why do I need them in my browser, and why does my browser need to focus on something that, several years into the hype wave, I still *do not

The REx hold up for about 60-65mph on flat ground without climate control. Change those parameters and you’ll still eat battery, just less of it. In the NA config of the car where the REx only comes on at 7% battery, this is a critical fail

BMW i3 is a true EREV and I absolutely love it. Always drives like an electric, but can pound highway miles on gas. Best of both worlds. I hope to never go back to pure one or the other, until battery and/or charging tech leaps forward

Fully this. Every Ace or Do It Best I've been to in Washington has had at least one Rugged Grandpa ™ on staff who could have given me a PhD-level essay on whatever I asked them about; at Home Depot I'm lucky if the folks there hav

Western Washington is very much a "work to live" place, and in a lot of ways there's a feedback loop to ensure it stays that way: surrounded by fellow "work to live" folks who would far rather just get our work done

No clue, I don't know much about US immigration policy other than that it is, by all accounts I've heard, a nightmare. I know (from past experience) that Canada has no-degree-friendly paths, but I have no reason to expect the US (

If you don't have a university degree, most of EU/EEA immigration policy wants nothing to do with you, even if you're American or have several YoE. Source: am a self-taught US dev who has repeatedly looked into immigration to

Moving to Europe is anything but trivial. Have you looked at y'all's immigration processes recently? It can be a real bear.
