I like it for that reason. It's one of the few shows that we can watch as a family with the kid laughing at the kids and me paying more attention to the parents. I'm always impressed by TV or movies that can pull that off, usuall

This actually resonates a bit with my own thoughts from these comments. If we assume a drug abuser is doomed for death in the next 6 months. But by using them as slave labor in terrible conditions for 3 years guarantees they will live to o

Yes and we used to kill witches for being... different. That is to say, to any sane modern human, curing gayness is nothing like curing drug addiction. We have to do something. Because whatever we've been doing for the past two decade

If you talk to a parent of a child who OD'd, most commonly of fent these days, they all have this thought. What if I took them somewhere remote where there are no drugs and didn't let them leave? My heart hurts for them, but I hav

I worked at companies using Gitlab for a decade, and got familiar with runners. Recently switched to a company using Github, and assumed I'd be blown away by their offering because of their size. Well, I was, but not in the way I'

If my memory serves right, it's actually the Vado area in NM than El Paso proper. Whole city stinks to drive through, and on windy days(which is almost every day), your car gets peppered with dung filled straw blowing across the road.

I've only ever been to Seattle to visit in summertime, and largely agree with everything. It's probably the prettiest place I've ever been (weather/greenery wise). But I already know I can't handle the greyness of

I'd argue Halo 2 set the standard for online matchmaking. I don't think younger people understand just how popular xbox live/halo 2 were in that era. Probably how us olders underestimate just how popular stuff like Fortnite

One can just run 'sudo updatedb' to refresh it. Super fast if it's already on a schedule. I think mine is set to update every system update, so I just have a habit of running that before I use locate each time.

This is a common pain point. Write in a language that makes sense for the project. Then people tell you that you should have used this other language, for reasons. Use a compression algo that makes sense for your data. Then people will te

It seems weird but realizing one supports the other it kinda makes sense. For example, Discover spun out from Sears attempts at having an in house credit card. Ally started as a financing division of GM. In both cases, you'd think si

I feel like C programmers had the same idea, and well, we see how that works out in practice.

I'm always amazed by regional differences in pricing. I had a company(wrongly) tell me I needed a new septic tank and drainfield installed, and quoted me out at 7800. Which is way, way more work and parts than a sewer line.

Tan's complaints seem to be the same ones I read here over and over from ex-employees, so hopefully he can actually turn it around.

That's also a problem in C land, of course, perhaps with less total sprawl. Yeah, it has new features, but you're stuck working on a C89 codebase, good luck! I don't know a great answer to that. I almost feel like languages

Wouldn't surprise me at all. One day we'll have the manpower and brains to figure out how to just have out of hour entries added to the next day's batch.

I personally wasn't bullied, but if I had to live in the school district I grew up in and felt I had no way out, I would have never had kids. It was that bad. Luckily that wasn't the case, so I do, and a change of scenery helps a

Not ever. But apparently there's some new model called the Champ that starts around 10k, and has people who want simple trucks raging out. For good reason, it's a solid looking simple truck.

The NRAO should kickstarter a new, electronics free diesel fullsize. Not to build it, just to prove how much demand exists for it. Because this is something every truck guy I know has been asking for forever. There's even an online re

> I hate that forgetting to initialize all fields of a struct does not lead to an error, but will just fill in "zero-values" for those fields. This has bitten me many times, and zero-values are almost never the behavior I want.

Unfortunately, optimizing for not getting yourself laid off is not the same as optimizing for max productivity. In many ways, they're quite opposite.

There's no real battle, except for language zealots. Go gets a ton of things right for easy programming, and presents a super readable language with concurrency as a forethought. Rust take a more conservative approach with a focus on c

I wonder why they went that route. At this point in my career the first notation is ingrained in my head. The bottom looks like regex.

Do you also get on said list by sending nasty emails to their recruiters? Because they completely stopped bothering me years ago shortly after that, whereas it used to be a once every couple weeks thing.

Just a decade or so ago, 'Skype' was the 'Kleenex' of video calling. Funny how fast tech moves. Sad to see it go.

Yeah, that was the sentiment at the time. It reminds me of that meme, maybe called the midwit meme? On the left you have the dumb guy, saying AOL does everything. On the right you have the hooded guy, saying AOL does everything. In the mid

Personally, I wish it was more like 20 years ago. I've always held AOL fondly. You paid per month, and get access to a giant ecosystem including forums, chat, email, news, zines, games, etc. Mostly ad free as I remember. In fact, whe
