Alex Jones and his ilk strongly reflect opinions that are incredibly widely held by tens of millions of Americans. That's his entire business model after all, he just says what his viewers think back to them so they feel happy someone

Many official looking order forms and paperwork in supply chains come filled out in all caps. It's a descendant of all those forms you would fill in with pencil and they'd say "MUST HAVE CAPITAL LETTERS" for legibility.

That's actually surprisingly cunning. Run a very in depth training program on how "not" to do antitrust. Secretly, it's just a training course in antitrust. Gotta respect the level of commitment to evil.

The alternative is to go to GCP and use the big GCP selling point, which is Big Table/Big Query. Those databases build most of that in, and it's all one fairly excellent distributed monolith.

Essentially, no. Especially if the developer is giving their time for free website. The developer is putting in the hard yards to make the website for their community event. Why shouldn't the user make the effort to have a web browse

I imagine the 2D effects animation is also done in vectors like the 3D. Maybe a better way of phrasing my answer is that Arcane was done in vector shapes. Whilst anime is sometimes done "quick and dirty" by agreeing on a raster re

Arcane is 3D animation (vectors and polygons) over painted backgrounds for 100% of it I believe. Anime is computer edited 2D cells drawn on tablets for foreground and background and layered. The 3D work is limited to certain scenes. 3D a

Essentially this. Scrum is rarely the problem in a team without nontechnical managers. The issue is that this rarely occurs.

Yeah I'm very confused. I think the commenter is just an unimaginative American. If you actually cook food from actual ingredients it's not difficult at all to avoid sugar. You can even bake your own bread.

I tend to find that the essentials in a chair are the mesh back, the rest is just extra features. And yeah good mesh back chairs come in at about $300 wholesale. I find often that the ones available retail are not as good as the ones my big

The reason they like real time is that they can offer the bare minimum, and then if I don't like it they can then ramp up the offer. If it's done via email it's basically a silent auction. So your first offer HAS to be good,

Not really. No recruiter is trying to avoid a paper trail, that's not their gig. It's a reputation based industry, there's no limited liability like with corporations. There's three reasons: #1: The phone call allows t

Whilst true, it's more accurate to say the monitor market is hostage to the economics of LED panel manufacturing. LEDs are normally produced as very large panels on production lines where every panel is made to a given PPI (and upper

Of course they should have a role to play and input. They should be part of the discussion. It's a question of responsibility for delivery. People in those positions shouldn't be the owner , who is accountable to the business f

I do find the reverse EEE where I directly integrate LSP into Vim in my terminal extremely ironic. Thank you Microsoft. I will not touch your appalling software, whilst happily enjoying a paradigm shift in Haskell dev workflows.

I’ve had very few complaints with Swift as a backend language in all honesty. I can see it as a backend/systems language. It is not a scripting language. The issue is the stewardship of the ecosystem. The fact the Foundation library i

Exactly. Just call it the platform/tool team. Realistically though, I'm 100% sure that absolutely nothing will stand in the way of the DevOps job title being denigrated. Companies have for a very long time used title inflation to

The actual answer? In the next 5 calendar years the bottom line will still grow. However, the brand damage means they permananently lose market share. Which impacts their growth ceiling.

Absolutely. Initiatives like PopOS and other ecosystem improvements will eventually impact this metric.

I imagine it's also the fact that you are rewarded for working on complicated projects that impact the bottom line positively. Driving this billing project is going to be thankless work, and at the end of it Amazon will lose money. It&

Absolutely. There's a huge amount of tiny chores with web development, that if you hadn't learnt how to do them in 1.5 seconds 5 years ago, would take you 2-3 days to figure out. There are a hundred small chores that must be done

That's a rather negative view, considering that much of software by and large is about replicating paper based processes with far less human effort involved. It's fair to describe software engineers as a profession of the professi
