It CAN replace all that corporate lingo bullshit. And that would be great.

This is what he meant I believe. Sure, you can work towards change, but today, right now, it is what it is and don’t let that get in the way of your being happy.

Transcoding on demand is just trading compute for storage.

And storage is getting expensive AF.

FLOSS works because when maintainers need to leave the project doesn’t die.

That’s very detailed. Sounds like you have everything the way you want it. So plex would probably add nothing.

Sigh... Unfortunate naming.

There's a parcel of land in Texas that was left to the city to be used as a park, they've since sold it to a Data Center.

Though, this isn't strictly imminent domain... Just people being assholes.

Right??? The HN pissing contest...

Sleep regularity may be a simple, effective target for improving general health and survival.

But why would it NOT be? Seems stupid for us to have evolved into beings that need our sleep to be irregular.

They just need to wait until nobody is selling or can buy new PCs and are forced to use outdated equipment to use as dumb terminals to access those mainframes.

Whenever I leave a company I make sure everything that belongs to the company goes back to them and I wipe any access credentials or authenticator codes that might be on any of my devices. I can't imagine being so brazen that you'd keep the company laptop and then start using an exploit to download confidential information for your new employer.

I work from home and I have a lot of equipment here (because of what I do - think sensor fusion). Everything is labeled with a bright sticky tape that signifies it belongs to my employer. If I'm not using something at the moment, it's safely stowed in a box that is labeled. My SO knows where everything is, so in the event something happens, they know who it belongs to and who to call. In addition, I keep an inventory sheet of everything. I broke it all down easily so that my SO doesn't have to worry. By doing this, it makes it easy on me as well to know what I have, how long I've had it, when it needs to be returned by, etc.

None of that belongs to me, but they trust me with it and I respect that and I take excellent care of all of it. The mindset that these ex-employees have is just mind blowing. I couldn't fathom doing that.

And yours is to read through all 37000 commit messages??

don't be obtuse. Nobody needs to do either.

Not a one. But... I have had many conversations with people who feel they have "earned" healthcare because they "worked hard" and finally obtained a "job with benefits".

And this is exactly why those same people do NOT want universal healthcare.

You're getting down voted, but there's substance here. A "job with benefits" is a badge of honor for some. That means they've "worked hard" and "earned it".

One of the things I'd typically do is peek at the commit history. Seeing what people worked on and how they did it tends to say a lot about a project

I could not care less about any of this. Truth is code, as it is now. I don't care when (and certainly not by who) a bug got introduced, it's here, shut up and fix it.

But if we fixed it, that might help people who can't afford the ride otherwise. And we cannot have that.

  --- Says far too many people, always.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the consumer electronics market the next few years. Companies are right now gambling that consumers will pay extra because of RAM shortages. I suspect with the cost of everything else rising as well, a large portion of consumers (remember, HN, not everyone makes tech money) will just not be buying new devices for a bit.

I would love it if we started designing software with hardware constraints in mind again.

It's so weird the herd behavior of developers.

What happened to MAHA?

consistency in vision, and willingness to take risks.

Agreed. If you are looking at a chart of performance and it's flat or slightly increasing year over year for a few years, you're not doing great. You need to see some dips which means you tried and failed. Without those, you won't ever see the big jumps.

I used corner reflectors made from roof flashing and cardboard on mine. Worked really well to get the signal from one corner of my apt to the other.

Right?

I guess they think consumers need them to look like this crap.

Pick better data structures such that you can use simple language elements to manipulate said data. If you're writing a dozen lines of code to abstract 2 lines of logic, you're not doing anyone any favors.

You don't know many c# devs, then.

Of course not. They _created_ this problem.

It should, I would assume. But for some reason, it seems nobody is enforcing consumer protections like they used to.

Pretty soon they'll take the stickers off mowers warning people to not put their hand under it while it's running.

The world isn't in a good place...

With _this_ admin? No way.

Yup, regulatory capture.

We are seeing the effects of the hockey stick curve of wealth inequality. It's only going to accelerate from here.
