My first exposure to anything that could be related to professional day-to-day work was when my dad taught toddler-me how to use DOS in Windows 3.1 Unfortunately for me, I didn't do anything else remotely related to programming until m

i personally feel that there's a good chance that the choices for people with 30+ years until retirement age are either retiring early, or not retiring at all. i want to have retirement money, but also keep working. i want to be in a p

This is a fair point. It seems like standard policy at lots of places is to not budge significantly on comp unless a Valued Employee is prepared to leave. You then end up with one of the three scenarios: - the employee leaves anyways, since

There are still too many managers who don't understand one of their primary responsibilities in a market that favors employees: making sure that their best engineers don't leave. The job market won't always be like this, but

This quote from a Wikipedia article about a Heinlein book is apt for this. It makes me think that what has happened here is not only inevitable for any disruptive tech company that grows large enough, but also any other sort of human collec

I think 50 years is way too long to plan ahead for. A ~9-12 year approach makes more sense. Look at these intervals: 1942 - First mass-produced fully-electric analog computer 1951 - First mass-produced commercial computer (using vacuum tube

This seems like a great thread to ask for game recommendations. These are my favorite turn-based games of all time: HOMM 1, 2 & 3 Advance Wars series (including DS and DOR) Uniwar (a surprisingly excellent mobile game inspired by Advanc

Do you have a source for this? I'm only seeing that the radar permanently stops working if you opt in to FSD, with no way to reactivate it. But this only happens if you enable FSD.

Does anyone know how big of a deal it is to not have radar on newer Tesla 3s and Ys? I don't know which month was the last one to have radar, but it was some time in 2021.

I'd like to see a similar study with adderall thrown into the mix. I've been rotating between coffee, tea, and adderall for the past eight years.

Someone on SA supposedly has access to the court documents (dozens and dozens of pages) and shared them, if you want to track that down and provide actual proof that isn't just hearsay. I haven't been on SA for nearly a decade n
