Agreed. As an aside, these tech sector acronyms have gotten ridiculous.

That’s unfortunate you had a terrible experience but in all fairness, you’re one data point. You can simply google “most reliable laptop” and see the that Apple is consistently ranked #1. As for my own single data point, I have the followin

These are not remotely analogous. PG&E solely provides gas and electricity to a subset of California residents. As for IBM? “ two-thirds of the Fortune 100, 45 of the world’s top 50 banks, eight of the top 10 insurers, seven of the top

Same here. I wonder why it hasn't gotten more adoption.

Lol I live in a big city with a lot of terrible/rude drivers and literally until I read the comments here, I thought there were just a ton of super annoying people driving with their high beams on at night. I still drive a sedan while

Haha. The FAA isn't using any software developed in the last 20 years.

You only want to listen to half of what the CEO of the 2nd biggest tech company has to say about the tech industry? "you want to do things "efficiently", why rathole capital into hololens?" I'm not sure if you'

Isn’t it inevitable that conventional RAM will continue to get larger and faster as well?

As I said, in the worst case, they can always find someone else to lay off. There are countless other ways they can compensate for the cost of hiring him. A couple quick examples are delaying promoting and giving a raise to some people, or

The better option would have been to hire him. How is that not obvious? Amazon as a multi-national, multi-billion dollar company can absorb the expense of employing him. I’m the worst case, they can lay off an existing low performing employ

There are countless articles if you search for “git for non-developers” on google. You want to learn something but aren’t willing to spend 30 minutes of your time to do some studying? You’d be paying someone to regurgitate the same info a

Weren’t awful? That’s like saying a 99/100 exam score isn’t awful, but it’s not ideal either. There was no tire spin and that was so close to ideal conditions that I imagine the most they could shave off is a few hundredths of a secon

Sunglasses type form factor makes sense. I think a contact lens form factor would hurt adoption though. Some people wear contacts full time and you wouldn’t want another similar sized device stuck on top of it. A lot of people do not wea

Sounds like Tesla should update their autopilot software to force itself to be enabled and prevent driver control at night when it’s pouring rain.

You can finds lots of books and online resources on COBOL programming or JCL. There are also encyclopedia sized publications called IBM Redbooks (available in pdf if you Google for them) which provide tons of detail on hardware and OS leve

Surely, impact to API consumers was considered in changing to a header based approach. What if a company is using an API proxy like Apigee and now has to go through a change control process to incorporate a new custom header on outbound re

It's unfortunate, but I think the reason all smart speakers are failing to bring in profits is because IoT never really took off. If everything in your house (curtains, standing desk, toilet paper roll holder, etc) was a connected devi

That's literally what the author described. "If the company is left only with 20% of engineers (even the best ones), it will be way deep in survival mode (just barely providing support for an existing product, not building some ne

Lol you have to be joking. This is 2022. No one outside the tech industry knows what RSS feeds are. A large percentage of people don't have TV subscriptions and don't listen to radio.

I have to admit I was really doubtful we'd have fully self driving cars within the next 50 years in any major city, but here we are. I guess I watched too many Tesla fail videos. Bravo Waymo!

Just because you have the option to pay for a free service isn't the criteria for being a product. There are tons of managed kubernetes services you can pay for just like you can pay for managed redis or elasticsearch.
