  • A very large portion (maybe not quite a majority) of software developers are not very good at their jobs. Just good enough to get by.

    And that is entirely okay! Applies to most jobs, honestly. But there is really NO appropriate way to express that to a coworker.

    I've seen way too much "just keep trying random things without really knowing what you're doing, and hope you eventually stumble into something that works" attitude from coworkers.

  • Yeah, this rural kid from Iowa grew up to be an evil parasite on society. This isn't the flex you think it is.

  • Great article. Teardowns are top-quality.

    I particularly was struck by this:

    most likely by justifying an exception to heightened scrutiny, based on the fact that the case involves “medical judgments.”

    If these fucks gave a shit about "medical judgements" this case wouldn't exist.

  • The two models, [...] each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk

    Huh? The hell is this supposed to mean? Are they talking about the internal platters?

  • Easy: no one. It's not about who asked, it's about who paid.

  • How do you go about doing otherwise?

  • Pics or GTFO.

  • What DOES the new scanner do with its scan output, then?

  • Makes you really appreciate how valuable plants and photosynthesis are, to our ecosystem.

  • He alluded to it in the first video, and I think it's spot on.

    They ended up with an "inventory problem". Which is to say, some business major in the company somewhere, or a consultant or whatever saw that they were spending money to store it all, and said "A company's assets should never cost money, they should MAKE money" or some such business speak. Ultimately that translated into every layer of the business being instructed to prioritize using that that old inventory, somehow, or pushing it to customers.

    "People don't really want to buy all this older hardware off of us, but we can convince people who don't know any better to rent it."

    "We don't have enough 4090s to keep up with demand for these high-end rentals, but we're sure as hell not buying more when we have all these perfectly-good 4080s lying around."

  • It was definitely intended as a joke, originally, but when this meme was first made a few years ago, there were quite a few people sharing it as entirely serious and true.

  • Pretty much my feelings. I won't celebrate violence and death, but I'm not gonna pretend that the world isn't a LOT better off without him. Or that there's some really funny takes floating around out there.

  • YEET

    Jump
  • "No credit for partial answers!"

  • I actually didn't get fooled by the first line, but I did by all the rest.

  • Second.

  • I can't think of any time I've felt lile being left-handed is an advantage.

  • So, how long until these US Government recommendations actually get implemented by the US Government?

    The password requirements thst I constantly have to work around at work, for our Oracle server, are as follows:

    • Must change every 3 months
    • Cannot have X number of characters the same, compared to the previous password
    • Max length of 30 characters (god, but this always infuriates me)
    • At least 2 lowercase letters
    • At least 2 uppercase letters
    • At least 2 numbers
    • At least 2 symbol characters (but with a whole bunch of them, like @, considered invalid)
    • Cannot have the same character twice in a row (what possible purpose does this serve?!)

    There's probably others I can't even remember, or haven't encountered.

  • The article leads with the US Government changing their recommendations on password policies, so the assumption is that they've done the homework. Still, yeah, I'd have been interested to see the details.

  • Please, half the Republicans in Congress are gay or bi. They don't give a shit.

    Gaetz is getting ousted because they've realized he left REAL evidence behind, and they're not going to be able to suppress it if he takes the position, and someone leaks it. Might still get leaked, anyway
