I am a soccer coach for kids (my own included) in my free time. In a lot of ways it is the same as working on FOSS software. You don't get anything for it, but you get to work with other people and it is pretty fun interacting with the

"No, Netflix/Max/Etc literally limit the options available to you. They want to try to dissuade people from purchasing those services at a discount in lower CoL regions, and don't want to deal with multi-region licensing

"Forgot another point that became very annoying, the show is available but not with the subtitles I want and/or need. For example, watching a Swedish TV show on Spanish Netflix doesn't let me have English subtitles for exampl

My 8 year old plays Fortnite sometimes together with his friends. I am a bit jealous, they seem to have a lot of fun. Sometimes one of his buddy brings his Switch home to us and they can play together in the same room (I have a PS5 my kid p

"Animation would definitely be much worse off if rotoscoping was all we had." Yeah, then it wouldn't be animation anymore.

Yeah, and Crunchyroll, and Viki and a lot of other services most people probably don't know about.

"Even if you do manage to make it as an IC all the way into your forties, you're going to run into the pervasive age discrimination, which is only getting worse." Is this really the case? With the demographics of today, where

It is probably much better if the compositor implements parts of the accessibility functionality. Then you can have other parts as libraries and in the toolkits, but the integration should probably be in the compositor.

Yes, and work like this really makes me appreciate the impact of work that Red Had pays for has on the greater Linux eco-system. As someone noted, these cameras had support on Ubuntu, but those changes were not upstreamed to the different

On my main project at work we hit exactly 100% estimation of tasks in February this year. In March we were like 110%. Estimation of tasks and projects are two completely different things.

"Here's an answer for you: the vast majority of software engineering is less like repetitive contracting and more like unpredictable lab experimentation." I kind of doubt this, but have no numbers to back me up. Do you have a

If you don't know what you are going to do, of course you can't estimate. Then you timebox a research phase and let that outcome be the basis for the estimate.

So if you would hire someone to redo your bathroom or kitchen, you would hire them without an estimate and quote as long as they divide the project into small tasks?

My condo (sort of) put chargers for every parking spot and garage in the whole "complex". Wasn't that expensive and raises the value of the units more than the cost per charger.

Yes, this is why GCs work so bad for 3D games since you are usually limited by memory bandwidth and latency, especially on systems with unified RAM (no seperate GPU RAM).

"Why is systemd even touching DNS?" resolvd != systemd. It seems like you are mad that Ubuntu changed DNS resolver, but isn't that the actual job of a Linux distro?

Choose something else then. If there is one thing the world is not lacking it is Linux distros.
