That's awesome. Out of curiosity, what kind of system are those files living on today?

Wow, a pragmatic user-benefiting feature being added to Windows? That's certainly a breath of fresh air.

You're never going to have healthy birthrates in countries where you combine accessible effective birth control with secular individualistic neoliberal societies. It doesn't matter how many services or incentives you have (see Kin

Making a reliable OS from the ground up takes a lot of work from a lot of really skilled people. I don't think people give ReactOS enough credit. It seems a lot of people look at the success of Linux and *BSD and assume that it's

Interesting I guess, but hardly newsworthy for a company of over 220k.

Yes I'm aware that it's understood to be neurological condition. But it's diagnosed based on behavioral observations, it's not like people get diagnosed with ASD based on brain scans like you would for MS or parkinsons.

I agree with what you're saying, but also - everyone has problems. Is anyone truly normal or neurotypical? Why do some people's problems get the validation of the medical system and others don't? (These are non-rhetorical que

Well, to me your comment also speaks to the increasing degree to which we medicalize personality traits. I'm sure your diagnosis is legitimate, but also I'm inferring from your comment that you are married and gainfully employed;

Enlightened means "agrees with me". You can tell how enlightened a commentary is based on how much I agree with it.

If you want an example of the discrimination men experience with regards to sacrifice and expendability, see articles like this. Thousands of men died and over 150000 risked their lives (a fair number against their will as military aged men

Just a data point since everyone else here is sharing: I've been done with undergrad for less than 5 years and I never have these sorts of dreams (or in general, any sort of dream where I'm back in school).

It's true. A single movie ticket costs more than a month of an ad-free streaming service these days. I could see how many don't feel it's worth it anymore, though I personally still enjoy it.

The majority of mortgages in the US are fixed rate with a 30 year term. Mortgages originating now will have a rate in the 7% ballpark. In 2021 you could get mortgages with a 2.5% fixed rate. However, it's common for people to refinanc

A few that I'd like to learn about more deeply given the time: 1. Reverse engineering and vulnerability research. Not that much programming in the sense of writing code, but it basically requires you to be deeply familiar with assembly

Soldered is the issue, not 16GB.

For sure, I've seen people like that. I've also seen the 50 year old eternal junior engineer who seems to scrape by from employer to employer by way of momentum and "years of experience" alone.

It entirely depends on the trajectory of the hopping. For example, a year at local company, then two years at a fortune 500, then hopping to FAANG or FAANG-adjancent company could be a positive sign. Seniority of the candidate is another th
