Funny because I don't remember a downturn in software engineering jobs pre-COVID. My recollection is that it was easy street for STEM types until the inflation hit.

Conservatives generally focus on forces that directly affect them, progressives generally focus on forces that affect others. Through this lens, much of political nonsense in the US can be understood.

Agreed. In a perfect world, wire-based systems should be cheaper and more reliable. But as a software engineer, I can tell you that current software development practices do not produce software that is reliable enough to entrust it with yo

Indeed. I wouldn't even consider buying a Tesla if it means that I'll be funding Incel Stark's future forays into political terrorism.

Man, for a place that supposedly considers itself a bastion of free thinkers, we sure do spend a lot of time quarreling about self-censorship.

Don't worry guys, DOGE is going to snuff out this egregiously corrupt contract...

I don't recall the Biden White House kicking reporters out of the Oval Office for not bending the knee on wokeism.

And the master of moving the Overton Window has struck again. Here we are discussing the proper apportionment of Canada's new representatives.

I have bad news for you if you think Apple is not going to fall in line.

Honestly, this would be the funniest possible outcome.

I'm not saying there's not a lot of hype here, but unlike crpyto, this is actually solving problems. I'm not going to get into a discussion about willpower and calories and all that, but GLP-1 drugs do effectively cause weigh

Exactly. Maybe we'll muck up the climate here a bit and have to spend some resources to get it back on track, but Earth will never be less hospitable than Mars. And we are probably hundreds of years away from being able to have a self-

I am so tired of seeing ideas that are indiscernible from satire. This is like something that they would have come up with on HBO's Silicon Valley. Who do I complain to when a nearby golf course orders some nightshine and now my sky lo

Or people that are willing to engage in counter culture or illegal activities are more likely to reject cultural doctrine.

Yeah, as far as my experience is concerned, all that most of those releases did was fragment configuration, introduce the concepts of ads in your operating system, and innovate some in-fucking-scrutable technology that require me to continu

"Hang in there" implies that the situation is going to improve. It won't. You end up ratcheting your title and pay upwards until you find yourself in the position of doing nothing useful all day for an amount of money that pr

Wild to me that a company can work on a product for twenty years, have multiple releases, and not have made any significant improvements to it beyond updated hardware support. Like, y'all could just do a 25th Anniversary Edition of Win

tl;dr Scratching an itchy spot boosts the local inflammation and immune response. I know people hate the "just so" stories, but from an evolutionary perspective it makes sense. You get a parasite, it itches, you scratch it, which

I don't know, I kind of feel like leetcode interviews are a situation where the employer is cheating. I mean, you're admittedly filtering out a great number of acceptable candidates knowing that if you just find 1 in a 1000, that&

This is going to be big business I think. I have probably sent hundreds of thousands of emails, texts, chats, etc. It would be well within the realm of possibility to train an LLM on a loved ones communications corpus and allow you to chat

A sad truth about policy change is that most of the negative side effects take many years to manifest and are far out of the memory range of the average voter and so they never really get properly correlated with the cause, and therefore no

The idea that outdoor smokers are impinging on your right to breathe is a bit of a stretch. You can breathe just fine and there is no evidence that catching the stray odor of a cigarette has any impact at all on your health. These people ar

Wild. I would have loved your first manager and hated your second. I want to build and I have zero interest haggling with stakeholders over minutiae. I'll take a good buffer manager that understands the problem space any day.
