As a Canadian who has been listening to the "51st state" wordvomit coming out of US administration your comment is very apt. For some reason I can't fully grasp, a LOT of US citizens are ignorant to how the rest of the…
You're discussing layoffs. OP is discussing firings. And yeah, there's crossover but they're not 1 to 1. At the same time, if a company is taking two people of equal position and firing one, or keeping the other, the…
@OP are you the creator? Could you add my GPU to the list? Radeon VII https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/graphi...
Not the OP you're replying to, but a parent nonetheless. From basically the very moment you realize you're having a kid you essentially become the #2 person in your own life. Its more so for the mother, but even the…
I really enjoyed the write up. As father to a 2y/o as well I relate so hard to much of it. This line sticks out to me: you see life as a collection of experiences to be sampled ...because I feel like that was my hardest…
I could never get used to ergonomic keyboards. I actually spend a considerable amount of my day typing single handed across the entire QWERTY so I don't have to remove my hand from the mouse. I developed the habit…
And accessing a computer system without proper authorization is often illegal. So I'm not sure what point you're making.
Would be interesting to know how they were testing authentication. Were they using a botnet of any sort? Otherwise for every "valid" user/pass combo from an external leak they tested there'd be several failures. A…
It isn't just CS2. Apex Legends has players affected by this. Respawn Entertainment has addressed it and said is reverting bans. I guess part of the issue is an AMD update made it default on, so players who didn't even…
Yeah... I randomly punched in $40,000 for Gaming and got (1) Parts that total $9,980, but claims it totals $33,950 (2) Recommendations for parts that are both years out of date, and vastly inferior to other options (CPU…
This is a discussion that is much larger than what's available in a comment section like this. But I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think part of the thing is Software Engineers haven't been a thing for as long in the…
oooboy is it. That's what I get for not proofreading.
You're not wrong. It shows in the state of PLC/HMI Development tools. Even simple things like Revision Control is decades behind in some cases. I've basically found my niche in the industry as a Software Engineer though…
My company is generally good about that. We have lots of overlapping documentation that answers questions like that in different ways. From Electrical schemas to QA docs, picture archives of panels and wiring, ticketing…
All my comment is adding a software anecdote to the story. It really is just regular Chesterton's Fence, a term I've never heard until now but dealt with for the last several years. You're not wrong, but in the context…
Huh. Finally a name for it. I do a lot of support work for Control Systems. It isn't unheard to find a chunk of PLC code that treats some sort of physical equipment in a unique way that unintentionally creates problems.…
For personal development, it was merely shipping things. The more I published, the better I felt about myself. The more I published, the more I had learned and had to refer to. Now when I'm taking on tasks I can…
Perhaps you're using a broad/generic example to try and make the point but I'll say this: If a seasoned mechanic is unable to figure out how to reset the Maintenance Reminder or look up how to sync Tire Pressure…
>Then again how much time do computers save? This is honestly a good question to ask at times. I remember back when I was trying to get into weight lifting. I was searching for apps and tools that would help me track…
>sexual fertility You think our government respects people taking time to rear offspring? Of course not! They're not contributing their labour to our economy while being parents so we've structured the incentives to…
Depends on what timeframe you consider the OP sees as "new thing". Reaganomics really was the start of this trend though I'm sure it is easy to find examples prior to then looking back until the Great Depression.
I actually had a decent experience with their support on my Pixel 1 with shoddy bluetooth. It was one call to tech support and they basically just said it isn't worth troubleshooting and arranged the entire replacement…
My wife had issues with her Pixel 6 Pro almost immediately after delivery. It was stuttering randomly doing anything. My rough diagnosis after watching it/replicating it was hardware issue there was no doubt in my mind.…
Can I ask what you drive? There's a 3rd cost that you're sorta glossing over. The work you're doing (and the speed you're capable of doing it in) means you've had a non-negligible amount of experience. Depending on how…
There's something else odd going on. I think the easiest answer is the company is just poorly run but considering everything we've seen from both sides of the issue: - Reddit believes costs to maintain their API are on…
