The parallels are pretty superficial. The process is similar to theologians arguing scripture or maybe querying a low-grade LLM.
I won through a little bit of advice suggested by a layperson. I simply got the case moved to another room. The old judge hated us and the new judge loved us. All we had to do was decline magistrate jurisdiction. My…
And then the retention department pretends to cancel, as they want to be on target for their monthly bonus. Now you can print a copy of your phone call as evidence when you get billed again (oops, you can't). So now you…
Do you even realize you can send mail from your mailbox? I can walk to my mailbox and put the little metal flag up in a couple minutes. I can't be put on hold or have the conversation drag on for 40+ minutes, as some in…
I joined a startup whose mission statement was to "do something with XML." We grabbed an embedded board, connected it to a printer port and enabled legacy systems to "print" to an XML service. It sold for lots of money…
USA. I planned on freelancing my whole career. The cost of health insurance ended that about 15 years ago.
When experts do chime in, they're blasted as shills. Have fun finding someone who is truly an expert yet has no connection to the industry that uses the technology.

The "user as the product" model works well for the user for a while, when business is booming. I now pay Microsoft for email simply because they have someone answering the phone over there, competent or not. I get…
My concentration face looks like I'm daydreaming, and I've been called out for not paying attention.
To run multiple browsers in one sense, use the --user-data-dir flag for Chromium based browsers. Give each of the 9 instances their own directory.
I've seen other examples where thinking outside the C++ box is taboo. There was a talk at one of the conferences where the speaker was obviously referring to some of the enhancements introduced by Qt while taking care…
Compared to other providers, it's much easier to call Microsoft and reach a human. I don't know that they can help, but it's worth a shot.
Hotelling's law and Nash equilibrium can partially explain why so many "next silicon valleys" haven't panned out. It's also interesting that the valley is in a jurisdiction with such pro-employee laws.
Can't wait to tell all my friends on Allo, Chat, Duo, Hangouts, Spaces, Messenger, Voice and Wave. Pretty sure I'm missing a few.
I wonder if anyone can provide an example where collective guilt was meaningful or productive in any way.
Agreed because humans do a poor job of passively monitoring automated things for an extended time. I don't think we can talk our way out of that.
No code tools give people with no idea what they are doing a chance to prove it.
Lead was used in Egyptian pottery many thousands of years ago.
Since English is hard for you, it's spelled synecdoche and is hardly an excuse.
As far as I can tell, the only US states that care about the software engineering distinction are Texas and Florida. And it's for legacy bureaucratic reasons more than anything. I'm not personally concerned about…
I've been low-key abusing emojis in binary protocols: result=0x3a29
See also, "Hacker's Delight" by Henry Warren for a deep dive into bit manipulation tricks.
I do have purposeful meetings with customers, when the need arises, and I enjoy those. There are no recurring meetings or standups. It's heaven.
It was in the early 2000s outside of the valley. A coworker was basically held in indentured servitude by a family of a higher caste. They dropped him off at work every day, berating him the whole way there. We hired a…
