If that's the question... Let me assure you that there are decades-old pieces of code inside of, and used to assemble, many modern AAA games coming out of mature studios. The systems and tooling is typically carried forward. I don&#x27

I recently learned of the term "progress trap" [0] and now I see it everywhere. In essence, when you invent the car you also invent the car crash. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_trap

I grew up not far from Lancaster, a little further to the southern border with WV. My family came from southwestern PA and that's where I was born. My uncle married a southern woman (from the hills of northern GA) and her and my cousin

Especially considering this "shitlit" label (which I love and immediately understand, because I read somewhere between 70 and 80 shitlit books last year). The shitlit that I read is totally inconsequential fiction that has no mate

I haven't even spoken to an HR rep at my current employer. 15 months in. I love this place!

I watched a company go through lawsuits because of layers of Indian middle management. Turns out, they had essentially recreated a caste system inside of a massive American corporation. At the bottom was a staggering number of female engine

That's interesting and clever. Can Google using reclaimed water in their data centers? edit/ According to a blog post they made [0] they use up to 25% reclaimed water, which is probably better than golf courses, too. [0]: https:&

Terrifying. We're in SoCal, and we've been evacuated for fires that were threatening some of the home in the trac we live in. Our home and auto is insured through Costco with Connect and I'm curious to see what happens this y

I agree completely. I'm in my 40s and, at this point, on this topic, I feel like Cypher in the Matrix. Plug me back in and I don't want to understand any of this shit anymore.

I'm in south Orange county, California, and... Yeah. Maybe this is car wash mecca? I can think of 6 within a 2 mile radius of my home without even trying. 3 of them are full-service places, too, and they've been there for longer t

We have solar and a battery and I think about this sometimes. Air conditioners are very noisy and solar panels are on display for anyone to see. People know. It's not an actual, safe off-grid solution during a major event when you&#x27

Not particularly surprising, given the last few months of activity at OpenAI.

I had no idea it could do that, I've only been using it to move files between my devices.

No, that's cultural appropriation! There's a long list of things you apparently can't do or say at Google that all strike me as completely mundane things that normal humans engage in on a daily basis. It's been years sin

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that it was just you. I definitely believe you and others have the problems you do, we're talking about Microsoft software here.

Toss in the blood boy stuff and it starts to look like a form of modern era vampirism.

People who chase longevity like Bryan has been really freak me out. I have a hard time accepting that they are anything other than obsessively afraid of their own mortality. And there's an extra something that's particularly sinis

I just popped open WSL2 on my home desktop and ran "apt install dotnet-sdk-8.0" and it ran perfectly fine? It took maybe 10 seconds to install... 13 packages. I started playing around with WSL1 shortly after it was released. Lady

Seconded. PowerToys + WSL2 at work have kept me happy enough and very productive at work. A decade ago, when I was (briefly -- I moved to a Linux based development team before the end of my first year there) in a Windows development shop (.

You're not wrong but the tech job market is a dumpster fire right now, too, and, on top of that, I've got 3 young kids (twins are 4, singleton is 2) and a partially disabled spouse. I make good money and have amazing benefits, som
