Honestly this seems like a crazy simple client application bug; simply add a single quote as part of your name and it crashes. How does that pass even incredibly basic QA to make production? Maybe I've been blessed (or cursed?) to on

I don't have a strong opine on him; quick wikipedia skim tells me certain crowds probably hate him as a military contractor. Some people hate anyone/thing associated with that space.

Carmack did his thing 40 years ago; before social media was as prevalent. I'm sure if the community was as large and talkative then as they were today; you'd find many detractors.

RIP. I haven't had any issues like that yet; but I've also barely used it out of that exact fear.

same. at least we got in before the price jumped? We don't even have a hope as the new MCU doesn't even support getting backported to our car even if we were willing to pay for it.

VW put out a report on the topic a few years back. Tldr; for consumer vehicles, break even point for emissions was roughly 40k miles in the EU, and 50k in the US. After that it was a ~net positive vs equivalent gasoline model. For comme

My general consensus on the practice is that it prevents the developers from learning Git. Short-term gain for long-term ignorance. I'm much more a fan of "Learn the tool upfront and reap the benefits", don't handicap

Apple explicitly and actively making what should be a 'standard' text message experience worse on non-apple devices is malicious. FB Messenger is simply an alternative. I haven't paid attention to it, but maybe the Threads

Unless things have changed since I last looked, if those you talk to aren't also on iMessage, it feels like a net negative to use as you get inconsistent/negative behavior between contacts. From that end, it becomes sort of a mor

not if 'never rebase, it is a trick of the devil' is part of the Dogma and adhered to. I'm being a little silly; but a team I worked on moved from P4 -> Git. It was an older develoepr base, so they wrote 1:1 translation wr

> Windows key is a recent addition Looks like it was introduced in 1994; unix epoch starts @ 1 January 1970; so we've had a Windows key for ~55% of the existence of standard epoch time. The Model M was introduced ~1984; so Windows k

WSL2 is basically a lower-memory VM via containerization with auto-mounts of the host OS.

This. It's not that expensive; it's not worth your time dancing around over time. I Know it's an entitled view point, but engineers are also generally entitled.

WSL1 was kind of amazing, IIRC it attempted to map all unix calls to their windows equivalencies. But there were edge cases and bugs when it just had serious problems. WSL2 came in, and is basically a simple local container. it isn't

that's also $999 for 8gb of ram (!!!), which will clearly throttle under any actual use.

That issue is media mostly optics I think. Once you sit down with it, it's simply a better cruise control. Now, if you are talking about 'Full Self Driving' - then yea, there's a waiver and a point there.

I use Slack outside work, and it's less buggy than Teams but the feature count is dramatically lower. Maybe as I use it mostly with non-technical groups. Feels 'fine' but people seem to clamor for Discord.
