I've seen that as well. I've also seen optimism doom teams in the forms of failing to anticipate obstacles, making unreasonable promises in binding documents, and underestimating project effort. Seems like being objective and cali

Make it something you can pay in advance, then. For a fee, you get marked as a high-risk/high-value account, get the recovery service and risky factors of authentication get extra scrutiny, etc.

Yep, browsing pages laden with too many GIFs is my favorite way to have a hot laptop that sounds like it's getting ready to lift off and get my low battery warning to pop up.

Are you sure he's the ignorant one? As a young adult who had a roof over their head by default, I was 100% FOSS and installed Gentoo on anything I owned that could even limp its way along that path (and discarded devices that couldn&#x

I am not sure exactly wtf a "highly immersive" experience is, what I do know is I'm shipping marketing pages that take like two minutes to load on "slow" connections and "old" phones (a.k.a. "our real

I'm not really sure how else to see it. It's pretty straightforward to show that the simplest possible model is some kind of probability density function with inputs of skill and privilege and a wide distribution and a very long t

Another donator here, people don't get why I'd "spend" more on this game than any other I've purchased by a large factor, especially given I don't play it much, but the thing is, most everything I enjoy playing

I wonder if this what the people who made the things I have to inherit and patch and secure believed. Current app is EOL Framework Release in an EOL Language Release running on an EOL Distro Release on an unmonitored server without any patc

GP's point was, I think, that if you wish for something to be permanent, then it won't be (have backups). Not exactly relevant but not contrary to the core concept we're discussing (being pessimistic about the quality of serv

Definitely a weird thing to highlight as a "surprise" but also not quite right, since it should be exactly half... and also that portion of the pie should be a semicircle (around 180 degrees even if it's 48%)... but it's

One of those angry users here -- e.g. making flash card decks for Japanese on Memrise where they generate URLs based on some choice set of Chinese transliterations for no discernible reason.

Reductio ad absurdum. Could just as easily say any of the following: I do not consider learning how to smear grease on a canvas could be as fulfilling as <whatever>. I do not consider memorizing dates and people's names as fulfil

what games don't have maps with manipulable objects that would need to have their state synced over the network? A barrel existing/having been exploded is one bit, the precise position of an object is quite a few more, etc.

It's really odd to watch people see them as "the Fortnite company" and ignore/discount the Unreal engine, etc.

Yeah, the microspheres have the property of being very retroreflective (shine headlamp light directly back toward a driver efficiently) and so get used in lots of automotive visibility scenarios.

Sure... but why preserve this ?

Yeah, it struck me as switching to Linux so you could run glxgears.

"One less kernel" here didn't refer to them having a linux kernel and not needing it, it referred to them having and maintaining NT but not needing it (instead, utilizing an external Linux kernel).

Certainly understandable -- I'd prefer to keep things simple and just have some kind of validation in place rather than rely on an abstraction if I can get away with it. Having maintained various automation over the course of the past

From what I understand NT already abstracts Win 32/64 APIs roughly the same way it abstracts the POSIX ones -- if they switched to Linux kernel + an abstraction layer for Win 64 (Official Microsoft Wine, basically) that's one less

Also if your providers + OS support cloud-init, then you can express a fleet of instances which run this sort of script at boot time in something like Terraform pretty easily. Switching clouds becomes "uh... what does <provider>

Got any examples? I'd love to see them. Something that's beautiful in its problem set (doesn't, for instance, act as glue between other, poorly designed systems and thereby reflect their flaws), beautiful in its solutions (do

Yes, obviously some things will need to be persisted, and some of those things might be some of your queue entries -- so a persisted network queue (and network things to dequeue from it) can definitely be a necessity for that reason as well

The modern serverless paradigm is a way to give these more traditional computing runtimes/languages a lot of the features of Erlang/OTP. The downside to having all of these things in services on the network and outside of the runt

The theory would be that you can't have any more than one "thing I have started doing, and will resume doing first thing in the morning" which should be the meaning conveyed by "in progress" and everything else shou

I believe Unix passwords were salted and hashed in the 70's and those weren't typically for customer-facing accounts nor obviously for public internet-facing systems. It boggles the mind that the 90s internet boom had to reinvent

Why do people use the wrong there/their/they're? Why do people match salmon colored items with rose ones? Why do people sing off key? They aren't themselves sensitive to the difference and don't think about it.

Yeah, but what portion of the market can realistically afford the luxury, and what portion of the market cannot afford it but buy in anyways? How do you explain away the people like an old high school friend of mine that was so brand loyal

"$XXXX in a day" does not carry any such implication to myself, "$XXXX a day" would, but that phrasing seems to have been deliberately avoided -- and even had it been used I'd have to seriously investigate the con
