2014 called. It wants its humor back.

This is a thing, but not very common in professional settings. All the it/its entities I've met were cool, so I wouldn't mind one as a coworker.

My impression from reading various accounts from people with long careers in tech is that the stuff that compounds also transfers. You don't take the obsolete frameworks and libraries with you (for example), but you take what you learn

What is "it"? As in the ideology, both what it is and what about it is troubling. You didn't answer the question.

I've never encountered someone in tech who didn't have some kind of ideology. What is particularly troubling to you about the ideology of the people laid off?

That's probably why they stopped fighting copyright expiration. It also had the side effect of keeping new things from entering the public domain for them to mine for new trademarkable properties. There's only so many proven franc

Apparently it's a nightmare to develop due to the quality of the SDK.

It's mostly a tiny number of loud and influential people drowning out the majority who either have a balanced view and wish someone would listen through all the shouting or can't make sense of any of it and shut down a long time a

I can't tell whether you're trolling or the embodiment of out of touch.

It's not working. Jeff Bezos said he can't think of anything to do with his money other than build rockets while people die in his warehouses. Too much money makes people out of touch. I don't think billionaires are evil, I j

What's the connection between TMZ and UK tabloids? It's based and founded in the US where we have our own supermarket checkout trash, plus ample TV trash that likely provided much of the inspiration for it.

Sounds like someone has adequate executive function and doesn't understand how working in small chunks is easier when you don't.

Hosting in Egypt would be a problem for the same reason hosting in Russia would be a problem. There's a lot of stuff on there that would be illegal.

You might not like the constant thunderstorm/tornado watches and warnings from all the pop-up thunderstorms during the summer due to the Gulf. Everywhere you go will have problems. It's mostly a choice of which problems you can li

I would be interested to see a caste breakdown of that poll, and a more recent poll. Nine years is an eternity in tech. One specific to tech workers would help too.

I wonder how many of the homeless residents tech people complain about were part of that art scene and counterculture but got gentrified out of their homes with nowhere else to go.

"The left" is not a monolith. There are plenty of leftist gun owners. It's a practical thing rather than a weird obsession, so it doesn't get as much press.

Tech can help, like with CRMs and email, but I don't expect to see a total fix in my lifetime. 40+ years into the personal computer era and we still don't have anything that does the legwork. ML is the latest thing to make those p

Google started out collecting it with no idea what to do with it. User data was a waste product like gasoline was before someone invented a mass market car. Google figured out they could buy the then-leader in targeted advertising and apply

(concurring, not arguing) I've certainly learned more from a curated set of podcasts than I ever did spending too much time on forums.

First, spend decades building a big enough network to encompass every possible skill. Then, ask your question. It sounds like a coy dismissal, but it's true. You either spray and pray on public forums, or you build your own collection

I tried it once. It's extremely limited with only being able to use their few built-in integrations and stock themes with no ability to edit them. $108/year is a lot of money to not be able to touch your theme. An extra $72/y

It's hard to sell $300/year managed hosting subscriptions to people who just want a blog. This is probably the same reason Automattic switched to an all-inclusive monoplan at $180/year and got rid of any language that suggest
