Shrug, if I blog about the joys of driving down route 66 in a '57 Chevy, I really dont have any obligation to give equal time to what its like in a '57 Packard. Its a Saturn fan site, so its just going to be Saturn-centric.

Yep, at the time the Amiga crowd was laughing at the bloat. But now its suddenly the gold standard on efficiency? I think a lot of people like to be argumentative because they refuse to understand they are engaging in mere nostalgia and not

Remember this guy was chased out of chicago for trying to cover up the murder of Laquan McDonald by the CPD. Then, previously was famous for being Clinton's fixer in the Gennifer Flowers case. The fact that this man has any political c

This will go to SCOTUS, which typically gives the administration preferential treatment. The US's current level of corruption is way too high to assume your scenario.

I mean why is that a problem? Win95 engineering reflects the hardware of the time, the same way today's software engineering reflects the hardware of our time. There's no ideal here, there's no "this is correct," et

The problem with scrapping the web for teaching AI is that the web is full of 'little bobby tables' jokes.

Yep, this is just a ploy to create a PMC that actually has no skill workers in it. You just shove MBAs, nepos, etc into these roles and just have them gobble up some managerial course which is often nothing but: delegate, CYA, and 'man

This! I dont think people realize how many people fold like this. Almost nothing actually gets litigated. Litigation is a huge risk and very expensive. The profit incentive at companies means this fight is almost never worth it and its just

I think we should remember the context here. They're using the outdated stingray engine and this engine is designed for the days of single or dual core computers with spinning disks. They developed their game with this target in mind.

I'm not sure what happens when you replace coders with 'prompt generalists' and the output has non-trivial bugs. What do you do then? The product is crashing and the business is losing money? Or a security bug? You can't

All my google searches do AI then its an easy click to a deeper AI dive. This greatly disincentives me from visiting chatgpt or other competitors. Google is probably the most popular AI service right now. I don't see how they can be be

Yep this, children are the most vulnerable class. If the capitalist system had the power it had in the past, we'd just throw them into factories at age 6 or 7 again and damn them to the terrible life of a factory worker with no rights

Its not, instead you should install security updates in a timely fashion. People blocking windows update and being left super vulnerable isn't the solution. This bug was from an august update that affected some people. I think people a

Capitalism is a scam against the working class. I dont know how people can read things like this and not want a huge reform. The OP "just following orders" is ridiculous. Also, whenever the question "where are the tech unions

I mean its a successful commercial project because it doesnt break things, at least not that often. You can run some really old software on windows. Its kind of taken for granted, but this is just not the norm is most industries. As for baf

In most capitalist organizations QA begs for more time. "getting to market" and "this years annual reports" are what help cause situations not here, not the working class, who want to do a good job.

This is done, presumably, so people dont buddy up to save money on rooms. They'll be too shy or modest. So if its 4 people traveling, say 2 couples, they'll rent two rooms instead of one.

This has always been the elephant in the room. imho, US intelligence don't want this so congress won't do it. Intelligence controls or buys these botnets when they need them, so regulation here is always impossible to push, but in

I think if you're relatively young is hard to know computing history. Its oddly older than one thinks, even concepts that are seen as new. Its sometimes interesting to see people learn about BBS's which flourished 40 years ago.

This is my worry. What is cloudflare exactly? What regulations are they under? Am I and my privacy protected? How much of my privacy do I need to give up for whats essentially part of a protection racket, be it intentional or not. What happ

These weird trump hagiographies need to go. Its clear he's a failure and a conman and an incredible bigot and awful human being way before 2016, VERY clear in 2016-2020 and inexcusable to vote for him in 2024 or support him in any way,

These byzantine arguments and justifications and profit motivation and incentive tea readings are so ridiculous at a certain point, I'm surprised so many people wont even consider socializing airlines. What a cold comfort to a grandma

Also processed red meats or processed meats in general. Processed meats are the ones strongly linked with heart disease. At least for those who dont want to go vegetarian. Processed meats are so bad, they should be eliminated entirely from

Scams are absolutely not subjective and capitalism fails at every level without regulation like this. Your comment is very libertarian housecat coded. Also 'just go to court' is such a naive take. As someone who has been in litiga

I mean his personal lack of ethics, bigotries, greed, and ignorance is what directly made twitter what it is today. Maybe you should dislike him and hold him in low opinion.

The steam deck's chip runs at 15w maximum and has I believe a 4, 6, and 8w mode. Maybe not 5w but pretty close. The linux desktop on it is a perfectly unimpressive but usable daily driver kind of thing. The problem is consumers dont wa
