Pirates was so great, entertaining, and generally informative if you knew nothing about the subject even though it wasn't totally accurate. But at the time, what other comedy, drama would you find about the history of the personal comp

The show started off great in the first season but then it became harder to believe as it went on that a rag tag group of people were at the almost at the forefront of all these technological revolutions in computers. I get that it's f

I think this might be for the self taught crowd of developers who never formally took Comp Sci, yet, who are also wielding important positions in software development that pay as well if not more than the guys who did take comp sci. You&#x2

Yes. No touch bar. I prefer real buttons. More ports. We regular USB is still a thing in spite of what they might think. Don't you dare touch the 3.5 mm audio jack! Leave it alone. Nobody gives a shit that the laptops are half a centi

Yep. Certainly my contention. I don't need an expensive 5TB (tier in Canada). I need an affordable 1/2 TB to 1TB.

Yeah, this precedent is very troubling to say the least. If or when things swing the other way, this will not go well for everybody.

I could never do this. 1) My back would hurt after a half hour of this. 2) My brain would not be engaged in a state of too much comfort. (i.e. I'd get sleepy). In fact, I even keep my work room in the house kinda cold (by not putting i

I wish there was just a desktop program like Excel that actually fucking works well on Mac and PC. I like Google Sheets but it's way too integrated in the cloud for my tastes. Excel has so many good features, but the core of it is so f

I suppose the daily coffee on its own won't derail people but it usually is a signifier of how little people think about their finances. But yeah you're right, not on its own. I find that the people who are the best with money don

I find it so goofy that people never bother to save a local backup of work they spent hours and hours curating. Have they never ever written an essay on Microsoft Word and then lost the progress cause they never saved it on a floppy?

Frankly I see both sides. As long as we're using anecdotal evidence ... many of the people I personally know who have suffered the worst during the pandemic, are people who never saved or put away money away when times are good. They a

As a consumer I hate the Mac App Store so much if only for the reason that every time I want to do something I have login again and again. The Mac App store is quite buggy. Sometimes I have to log in two times in a row. I hate it so fucking

KFC has the most confusing marketing direction ever. I remember months ago when they were going all out on having a female Colonel Sanders. Now this? I'd love to be a fly on the wall during their "Mad Men meetings" for their

They also have poop on the sidewalk and typhus. The one place where you can work for the likes of Google and Facebook, make near six figures and still have to live in your car.

Very true. I would never wear these things outside given that their overpriced and, currently, many young people in a year like this are unemployed. It's like begging to get robbed.

I'd care more about sweat resistant to be honest. Sweat corrodes stuff.
