I've proudly managed to avoid Borgmon in favor of Monarch. Which was new at the time, but worked all right even back then. I have a lot fewer gray hairs because of that. They should have kept and rigidly enforced the Borgmon readabilit

I'm not sure of the legalities, but couldn't they independently organize and walk out en masse? Nominate (or, heck, even hire) a negotiator etc? It's pretty clear that what they have now isn't any good. $22 over 2000 hou

Do they, though? McDonalds pays more in some locales nowadays, for work that's nowhere near as difficult or physically demanding. I'm sure it wouldn't totally break John Deere if they paid more for labor given that each tract

The only director I'd let anywhere near the Culture series (or broader far-future sci-fi in general) is Neill Blomkamp. That dude just _knows_ how to do it, better than anyone else, aliens, robots, everything. And Sharlto Copley would

I'm actually not sure that's true. I run a NAS with 12 8TB drives, and not a single one has failed over several years. Nothing in SMART log either. All "shucked" cheap WD My Books. Running raidz-2. Sure, an anecdote, but

I'm now glad Amazon decided not to do a show based on the Culture series by Iain Banks. I can only imagine how horrible that'd be, since they have even less taste than Apple or Netflix. Sci-fi is better for it, just read the books

I'm surprised by this. I vividly remember that the mere suggestion of these common sense national security measures a couple of years ago would lead to others having a stroke. Ban Tik Tok next, too. It's ridiculous that we allow f

Meanwhile 100% of the software in the developing world was "free" at the time, and moreover it was difficult to buy software even if you wanted to pay for it. People would think you're not all right in the head or something,

No doctor ever told me to lift weights, and I've been to many before I gave up on them. They'll tell you to lose weight, exercise, improve diet and whatever, sure, but very specifically, they will never tell you to lift weights. A

This reminds me of my own culture shock in 2001 where I, a fresh arrival to these blessed shores, was trying to cross a road to enter the local supermarket. The cars _stopped_ when I got near the pavement. That was so unexpected, I thought

I can confirm. At least in my case weightlifting (basically low bar squats and deadlifts - bench press is overrated) helped me fix both my RSI and lower back pain. I post this on every RSI thread here in hopes it'd help someone else. Y

Yeah, I also don't advise my clients to start new C++ projects and steer them towards either Go or Rust (most pick the former, since it's easy to learn). If I were to start a product today, I'd likely be using Rust myself, pu

That is by far not the only gripe I have with gRPC, but yeah, it's not designed for embedded. It's too large and too full featured for that. Maybe there's a cut down variant somewhere though, it is an open standard, it is con

It does exist. It's your regular C++17 with Google Style on top (though perhaps with exceptions allowed), ruthlessly enforced through reviews. For larger teams to talk to each other use Protocol Buffers and GRPC to decouple interfaces.

Google needs to get off its ass and open source Fibers (not to be confused with Google Fiber). Fibers sparked plenty of joy in me back when I was at Google. It's just a more dignified way of doing things with threads, IMO. Here's

I did not say they can "predict" such systems. Plans are useless, planning is indispensable. You can course correct as you go, as long as you're going somewhere in particular, which I'm not sure we are at this point.

You're missing the point. The wages will _nominally_ rise. I'm sure the politicians will beat their chest over this fact in front of the fiscally illiterate public. It's just that the prices will rise slightly faster than wag
