> A natural evolution of engineers losing touch with the customers and users. I disagree. I think this happens as soon as the MBAs come on board, where everything becomes a metric, and you work towards OKRs.

Yes. I hike 5 miles a day, I ate super-healthy (no ultra-processed foods, cook at home every day etc), only drink water, coffee & tea. Actually rarely eat stuff which has added sugar on the package, and avoid foods that have > 5 ingr

Playstation's networking capabilities are an absolute mess. In anticipation for GTA6 I actually bought a PS5 Pro 2 weeks ago. I had to create a separate IPv4-only network because it would not complete the user-sign-up on the device on

I usually relate this to people chasing good reviews at work. Maintaining a system and keeping it bug-free doesn't get people promoted. Doing something large, inventing a bunch of metrics, and showing that you improve on those metrics

Are there other options if I want to ship a 'FROM scratch' image with just a single Rust executable, and everything compiled in? That to me is the main driver for MUSL.

I tried to come off Trintellix. 4 weeks was fine. 5th week immense thoughts of doom. Had to take Xanax to bridge it kicking in again.

The problem with shared is the issue of shared cost. How do you determine how much a user consumes? There is also the issue of upgrading the shared infrastructure. Because of the size it's a lot more expensive to replace, so that is po

Sadly 2 parts of Arizona use CA gas. This means a couple of things: those places don't have 93, and the mileage you get out of a gallon is less. I wish the government would ban 2 stroke engines (like leaf-blowers), which would have a m

Problem with a debit card is that if something goes wrong (product broken, or worse, debit card skimmed) it's my debit card, and thus my money. Credit card? I file a charge-back which is a forcing mechanism for the vendor. Credit card

In Belgium it is common knowledge that cash-only places don't report everything to the feds. For the same reason those food establishments had to get a government approved White Cash Register, because there was so much money disappeari

I'm surprised NY allows tinting of the whole front windshield. Here in AZ we're bound by the (stupid) AS-1 line. Tinting here would help more than in NY.
