I think it's just hurting someone at Microsoft less if they give it a home that isn't /dev/null. Edit: quick hat tip to Mono.Cecil which I've used a couple of times to crack .Net components to bypass licensing code.

Perhaps us C programmers should be telling the Rust programmers to stop shitting up the industry for everyone else because "C" is too hard to get right? Really, point aside, there is no place for zealots and many places for a rati

As someone responsible for the fall out from these tools being used to cut corners, I doubt it. And I'm talking about senior developers here with 10y+ experience. People don't bother to understand problems now. Only the happy path

I was indeed around then. I built a fair few non trivial things on MSDOS and Windows with MASM 6, PDS7, VB3/4 and MSVC++. All offline. Mostly on airgapped networks. That and enbedded stuff with various tool chains. We were definitely m

I really do miss the days I was locked in an office with no internet connection with a free coffee machine and could be productive. Things were small, understandable and had documentation on paper.

We all learned to do it via powershell a couple of years ago because it's impossible to work out which thing to go to in the UI now. This sucks more.

That is why I didn't go into academia. I saw someone burn an entire research outcome on purpose because it'd compromise their speciality entirely.

Yeah as a former Model S owner I don’t want it be associated with the brand or support it any more. Also it was a crap car.

Oh you have no idea how badly this is going to go over time. I watched a presentation by some psychology researchers last year where they were presenting their paper for applications of LLM technology in early-therapy diagnostics. They were

Google One is not great. Had some trouble with that for a client a while back too. I use two yubikeys (one on me, one at home) as well for anything I can't avoid like AWS so good solution.

They can bugger off. I had my dinner ruined by some Instagram celebrities earlier this year who were flying around with a DSLR filming some food and screaming a lot. The staff were visibly pissed off but too afraid to tell them to go away a

Is it like the 32Sii where it has some weird approximator which sometimes gives you high or low estimates of correctness for the fractions? That really killed it for me back in the day.

Depends where you are. It is still heavily integrated in some countries.

Yeah. It's not just that as well. Last week I was out for a walk with some friends and one of them left her android phone somewhere. She does everything on her phone. Unfortunately she found out she can't log into her google accou

Personal insults aside, "seems" requires no evaluation if the success rate is outside what could be considered a sane confidence interval on trust. I would literally be fired if I implemented this tool.

No I'm not. It's crap. I have about 30 years experience both on hard engineering (electronics) and software engineering particularly on failure analysis and reliability engineering. Most people are lazy and get led astray with fal

I'm going to point out the obvious problem here: 42% RC identification is shit. That means the first person on the call doing the triage has a 58% chance of being fed misinformation and bias which they have to distinguish from reality.

HP was going through their "who the hell are we?" disaster phase then and hired a useless CEO who got kicked out of SAP.

I would be embarrassed to own something with a stupid name. "Hey so what laptop did you buy?" "Well I went for the ACER MEATGRINDER Z980 JUGULAR MOSH RAZOR in the end. The keyboard is 100% sRGB!"
