I didn’t graduate high school and am a software engineering team lead at a large corporation. I don’t really have much sympathy for these people. It’s important to stay plastic and keep learning through your life. About five years ago I got

I just go to Walmart or Target. It’s infinitely less annoying than going to GameStop to get a new game.

It’s just life. But I mean I definitely understand the other side of the coin. To me when things get really really bad it’s time for a really really big change. It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective that my ancestors who voluntari

I think maybe it has to do with self confidence, or childhood trauma? I had a very unstable childhood and things quite often didn’t “just work out”. Adults in my life literally got stabbed and died when “interesting” new things happened. “H

It’s weird that there’s a whole culture around all these craft beers that seems interesting to me but every time I drink anything labeled beer or ale or whatever it is, I feel hot and am basically overcome with a berserker rage (I don’t kno

Can I write software using Xcode day 1 for this? Do I need to also have a Mac? I mean I do have a Mac but an extra $3500 is steep. That said I’ve planned to get one since I heard rumors years ago that this was in the works. I sort of expect

Do you think it’ll allow Xcode for development? When you say you were wearing it while doing dev work were you pairing it with a MacBook? From what I understand the OS is more similar to iPadOS (no Xcode, ability to compile binaries) vs Mac

AdGuard on iOS blocks ads just fine. I pay $5 a year because then it blocks YouTube ads.

Oh come on we’re allowed to have fun at Intel and Nvidia’s expense. This is like the most niche joke if I can’t make it on HN I’m doomed. I’ve got the Spanish speaking software engineer joke market locked up!

This is honestly a pretty profound comment. Also, I think you’re right.

Reminds me of a few months ago when Nvidia announced their new CuLitho fabrication process, which is Spanish means “cute little ass”. I hope Nvidia adds backside power delivery to their new CuLitho chips, just so we can get as many jokes as

Hah it’s funny you mention Filthy Frank specifically as he himself is now Joji[0] the very serious and not funny musician. He deleted all his old videos and scrubbed the evidence of who he once was, similar (although not as egregious) to th

Azure has over twice the market share of Google’s Cloud platform and the second largest cloud provider? How is that a failure?

It’s still there. It’s just at patriots.win now. Although upvotes vary between 100 and 1,000 so, much smaller than it was on Reddit where you’d easily get 10,000+ upvotes.

Reddit is scummy, but isn’t Lemmy some weird crypto scam thing?

I’m not yelling at people. I’m just pointing out something that seems abnormal. I personally think normalizing voluntarily wearing masks is great as it makes it acceptable to wear them on airplanes, and service workers who want are free to

Maybe! I haven’t driven with an Uber driver in the last year that was wearing a mask. Then again the only places I’ve been to in the last year are Florida and Kansas so it’s for sure not representative of the nation as a whole.

I saw someone driving alone in their car wearing a mask two days ago. I live in Kansas.

It’s funny you say that, because my wife said the exact same thing and laughed so hard when we went to the carousel of progress last year!

Too bad Alexa failed even at basic tasks, I bought an Amazon BRANDED smart microwave/oven, which worked fine until on Thanksgiving I told it “bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes” from the upstairs (my kid had put the food in

Well the one I know of near me in Kansas has an article about it.[0] This one is in a salt mine as the salt helps keep the moisture out of the air. I could definitely imagine a recurring multi year lease expense like this being a blip on th

I bought myself one of these fabled toilet seats about six years back and yes, it’s cured all the unpleasant health issues I had previously assumed were just a sad inevitability of having a butt. Also sitting on a cold toilet seat is now pa

I watched a documentary on this the other day, with a guy traveling around the country playing blackjack. Multiple times he had to call the gaming commissioner or the sheriff to get his $40,000 in chips cashed. Even one time when he hadn’t

Totally true! Which is why there’s a healthy conservative portion that’s on Reddit, and r/theDonald one of the largest thriving communities there is. Oh wait, that’s not true at all. These are just empty lies and niceties that don’t st

That was when they decided the 2016 election could never be allowed to happen again, and “liberal” folks decided free speech (rather hilariously in a dark way) was a “danger to democracy”. They then proceeded to call anyone who disagreed w
