I firmly believe if software engineering unionization ever starts to take hold, it'll begin with game developers.
There's a lot of money in gaming but the workers are treated like shit, as you pointed out.
Remember when Microsoft held a mock funeral for the iPhone? They’re all bark no bite.
instead of unobservably better performance.
It's imperceptible because the hardware has gotten so much faster. This would be like a top fuel dragster the size of a freight train.
The engine is incredibly powerful but the overall performance is hindered by the size of the overall vehicle not being optimized around it.
Mentour Pilot covered the B-52 history
Why can't we just water down the gasoline? /s
Logically that probably makes sense, but it would require everyone in the chain of command agreeing to that policy, and there’s no way that would ever happen from a liability standpoint.
Java or Bedrock edition, and have you tried logging into your EntraID Microsoft Teams for Xbox account lately? Make sure to check the box to keep you logged in!
The worst part of Ansible is data manipulation, what would be an easy dictionary operation in Python is a huge mix of lookups in Ansible.
Incredibly frustrating that the data you want is right there but you can't easily grab it.
There's nothing specific about this related to Python, that's just demonstrating how it works.
This is usable anywhere on an affected Kernel version
The “normies”? What does that mean in this context?
Yeah and that type of work bid usually goes to huge conglomerates. A local mom and pop electrician shop isn’t going to be building a datacenter, it’ll be something like Siemens.
What is the contingency/continuity plan if the single controller becomes incapacitated while on duty with no warning to pilots?
I admit I'm incredibly naive on this subject, but what makes it so hard to track an object as large as an aircraft carrier when starting from a known position such as a naval port?
What is the point of a device like this if the only difference is form factor? Why wouldn't someone just buy a pre-configured gaming PC?
MacBook Neo's NVMe being slower than the Air/Pro isn't just a benchmark footnote — it compounds with file count in a non-linear way.
The “isn’t just” part is a dead giveaway almost always.
It was changed, but not by me. I copied the headline exactly how it was in the original URL
Not OP but from my experience, the LEGO I had in a bin since I was a kid still fit perfectly with LEGO I'm buying for my kids 30 years later. That's unbelievably impressive to me.
I can’t tell if you’re joking or seriously trying to justify running red lights.
I am constantly amazed at how many people blatantly run red lights now. It used to be that people would sometimes press their luck on a yellow a little bit, but now it'll be red for several seconds and people will still just drive right on through.
I'd love if the police enforced this insanely dangerous behavior instead of trying to catch people going 10 over on the highway.
Seems like you’d get a secondary proxy market popping up overnight. Like domain privacy for degenerates.
"now what if we wanted to build it in-house?"
"Well I would probably go home and work on my resume because that's a fool's errand."
I hate going to work and reinventing wheels all day because the company I work for thinks it's so special that every business function needs a 100% tailored solution to solved problems. I much prefer working somewhere that's able to tailor business processes to conform to existing standards.
But maybe that's just me.
Makes me a bit less terrified that untested vibe coded slop will sink the economy.
The difference is those spreadsheets were buried on a company internal fileshare and the blast radius would be contained to that organization.
Today vibe coders can type a prompt, click a button, and their thing is exposed directly to the internet and ready to suck up any data someone uploads.
Is there anything like this for tech workers? Or is that not a sector Canada is trying to recruit in as much?
Go watch the JCS episode with the Chris Watts interrogation including his polygraph, you’ll see it’s actually extremely effective.
As a scientific tool to literally detect lies it’s completely bunk, but all the interrogator has to say is “the machine said you weren’t 100% truthful” and humans will 9 times out of 10 start blabbing.
It absolutely works as an interrogation tool.
but what is a "legitimate tax"?
One that goes through all three branches of government, the way it's been since we decided "no taxation without representation" is how such things should be collectively implemented.
If a citizen's stance is there is no such thing as a legitimate tax, perhaps there should be a legal process for banishing them from all public services, including roads, electricity, telephone, fire and rescue services, etc. and make consuming them a crime. But I guess even that would be a problem because we need to pay for the justice system that would prosecute such a sovereign citizen that breaks the rules...
Basically an "opt-out" of modern life almost in its entirety. I think most people that subscribe to "no legitimate taxes" might be surprised how isolating that would be if they actually think it through.
To be clear, I don't think this is a good idea, it's simply a thought exercise.
And just hope they have any capacity to deliver? That's what I'd worry about, especially right now.
Well I didn't say they wouldn't cooperate (very likely they would cave to any national security letter), I said there's no way they'd end up in jail. Politicians want their donations.
On the list of the things I doubt nowadays, an Amazon or Amazon subsidiary CEO going to jail is way up at the top.
They’ll get a national security letter for sure, but no one’s going to jail.
I thought that was deprecated?
It’s very likely that project is a security nightmare. Just an OS old enough to support 2.7 would be problematic.
