   Wow that's not something I've heard of before. Do they require staff to do the therapy in the hopes it will make a more productive workforce? I think I'd like to work at a place like that.

   I'm not blaming you I'm saying most of the time management will pick the cheapest option. That leads to bad outcomes for a lot of legacy software. That then leads to someone spending more money replacing the legacy system

   Because novice programmers are cheaper and businesses make decisions based on short term cost. Especially when projects get old.

   They asked him to broadcast it. They could have asked him to remove it. Instead they went for a strike on his channel.

   I think the author is suggesting that you often can't do it with soft deletes anyway. https://brandur.org/soft-deletion#undelete

   I think many people understand general purpose to mean it's a good language choice for many different and common uses. It has little to do with how Turing complete the language is. Just how well it suits a variety of problem domains.

    I've seen a very complex payroll written in stored procedures. You're right about debugging, it's horrible. Once you get good at it there is an elegance to the solution but refactoring sux. Then there is performance tuning. Y

    My point was more "Anything that good hackers would find interesting." It's not an exclusively tech site but does lean heavily in that direction. And you're correct I'm not a soccer fan.

    Totally, that has been me in the past. You also burn yourself out and start underperforming.

    I've found desktop upgrades to be poor as well. For gaming it's great, you can upgrade to the latest graphics card and get a huge boost but for work not so great. By the time I want a new CPU I'm going to need a new motherboa

    I like my work laptop. I have an ergonomic desk setup with a dock. If I need to demo something I can pick up my laptop and go to a meeting with my environment already setup and ready. I'd like a better performing computer but my laptop

    I use restic on Windows servers but for workstations I use backblaze. They have a backup client. It's just too easy. I don't have to think about it.

    Jetbrains Rider. I've been against IDEs in the past but only used free ones, Eclipse and Visual Studio. Rider is so much better. It uses less ram, feels faster and requires less setup. NopCommerce is an amazing free platform. I've

    I think burnout happens when you feel frustrated that your effort is not having an impact. At least that's been my experience.

    I solve trivial software problems but get to help solve interesting business problems. I still code but have moved into a role where I get input on the business processes that my software helps run. It's awesome and I love it. My input

    The top 1000 richest people are probably not good examples for the rest of us. They're extreme outliers. Much like professional athletes few make it to the top 1000. The average Joe is not going to make it.

    Take the 5k family vacation but also the house you can afford to pay off in less than 15 years. Too many people buy the best house they can afford and suffer too much interest.

    Wow are things that good now? It's been about a decade since I've played PC games. Linux support was not great back then. There were a few titles that worked well.

    The guy was masked, wearing gloves, and in a rental car. It seems like there was some intent to do something worth hiding. Yeah, he is nuts but it's hard to ignore that detail. What are the chances that someone prepares like that and j

    This is why I prefer laws that make it cheaper for everyone to build. Not laws that make it more expensive for some to be redistributed to others. There are always edge cases, always someone that gets hurts by these sorts of good intentions
