   We're talking about physical perception, that's why people go out of their way to get plastic surgery, braces, wear makeup, etc, to impress other people. You can say how things should be, and what the ideal world should be. But th

   That's fine, but Hollywood, the media, and according to this article, employers, seem to think differently.

   I'm glad to hear that, but it doesn't really have any context to this article where older developers are being subjected to ageism in the work place.

   Simply dying your hair, and staying fit will go a long way in making someone look much younger than they are.

   This applies to internal email as well, no on reads your essays. Keep it short, bullet points if possible, and don't request responses to more than one or two questions at a time. Seriously though, no one reads your email.

   Sure, if you're really not doing anything with it, then any database would work fine for you.

   Really, REALLY tried to love InfluxDB. But its systems requirements, performance, and features are poor compared to things like TimescaleDB.

   I don't believe it would have been called Taco Smith. It happened to be that the dudes last name made sense in the context of a dinner bell being rung for tacos.

    Agreed, 95% of my moving viewing is disk. I didn't spend all these thousands on stereo and movie gear to watch low bitrate streams.

    I've found the opposite, and I've had disk rental since the beginning. There is maybe a dozen films out of my queue of 500 that is in the "Saved" section. Besides, what's the alternative? Nothing.

    What's worse is that MacOS already started down that path. Just look at Big Sur with all of the bullshit widgets and crap now. How I loathe widgets.

    Same reason a lot of miss Blockbuster nights from our youth. Now rather than 50000 channels of nothing, we scan through endless streaming options. My only reprieve is that Netflix still offers their DVD service.

    I was expecting some type of non smart phone. Apparently minimalist just means take the usefulness out, by making the screen size prohibitively small.

    Human Revolution is an older game? Geez, I must be really getting old then. That game certainly holds up just fine, and does not need a remake.

    Apparently I'm misreading the following paragraph. Any application state that can be recorded in a pile-of-files can also be recorded in an SQLite database with a simple key/value schema like this: CREATE TABLE files(filenam

    What happened to storing blobs in a database being giant rookie mistake? I'm currently dealing with this at the office, where now a SQLServer database has grown to unmanageable size from helpdesk software attachments.

    Pretty much it, anyone complaining right now they want to go back into the office, mostly want to do so socially. Extroverts who need to yap all day.

    You're free to go back to the office to chat when this is all over, please just let the rest of us continue to work remotely in silence. The savings on commute time quality of life alone are immense.

    I'm in continued amazement that people act like we've beaten this things, when infection rates are shown leveling off. All that shows is that NOT opening, and staying quarantined are effective.

    Such a disappointment RethinkDB ended up being. Converted over my side projects quickly after that went South.

    His recipes may be correct, but this is unwatchable. The constant cuts every three words for the ADD generation is beyond irritating.

    Considering I'm still playing the newest games on my ten year old LGA1366 setup, yes. Overclocked Xeon X5675, Nvidia 1070, 16GB RAM, and SSD. Currently playing the new Doom completely maxed out at 2560x1600.
