I agree; I wasn't clear in my previous post. I understand the economic underpinnings. I cannot understand the coupled animus and have stopped trying.

Totally get that; I'm on the older side, so personally I've been down this road quite a few times. We're ALWAYS on the verge of our profession being rugged somehow. RAD tools, Outsourcing, In-sourcing, No-Code, AI/LLM...

I'm not sure why this is confusing? We're seeing the phenomenon everywhere in culture lately. People WANT something to be true and try to speak it into existence. They also tend to be the people LEAST qualified to speak about the

It's been a few years but when I was there, Apple had an almost frothingly EXTREME policy against using ANYTHING from Google, most especially Tensorflow. Things may have changed in the last few years but I would not be surprised if tha

This is the most hamfisted nonsense I've read in a while. Just say "I like to micromanage people" and be done with it. The fact that you're worried about what/how other people are using or dealing with their time sa

You're being purposely obsequious, I think. Let's try this: If you take a LONG view ( more than the last 15 years ) you would see that prior to the fairness doctrine being removed, we generally weren't 'entertained'

Unfortunately, you've got it backwards. The propaganda has exacerbated the division, almost in direct alignment with the removal of the fairness doctrine. All of the things you're describing are a consequence of growing up thinkin

No, this is just a fancy tautological development argument. This is how we got into the Java trap (yes, it's a trap) to begin with. Everyone knows Java, you can hire Java devs easily, etc. etc. There's really no reason for this ot

No, the anger is born from an expectation (namely, that prosumers can get the low-end pro model) that well predates the whole life-style brand marketing (iPod 2001, iPhone 2007). I believe this is also incorrect. Apple has consistently ha

by bitcrusher 7y ago
I disagree with this. This viewpoint is the side-effect of Apple's lifestyle brand marketing. Apple releases a machine you can't afford and they're "pissing on you"? No, they're diversifying their product towar

On the one hand, this cat knows how to screw up marketing hardware/software ( Be, Inc! ). On the other hand, he's literally talking nonsense about a compute platform that is targeted at studios.

Yes, I definitely missed that one. Good catch.

I understand that your experience is yours but I also believe that you might be going about it the wrong way. First, you don't REALLY need to know anything but Meta-X and Control-XS, Control-XF, Control-XC to get going. Those aren&#x27

There are lots of cheaper options than WeWork in Denver: Serendipity Labs, Thrive, Modworks, Shift... just to name a few. They generally average about 200/mo for co-working spaces, which is about half of what WeWork is currently chargi

Yep! Just use Plug. There’s no need to drag the entire Phoenix stack in. https://hexdocs.pm/plug/readme.html

I think you’re making the mistake of equating Christianity and Catholicism. They have the same roots but all of the things you’re assigning to Christianity is really the machinations of ‘The Church’ weilding Christians beliefs as a cudgel f

Let's reconsider this position using some other example: Such a shame that the "healthy at any genetic condition" BS is so popular these days. Literally killing people.

BeOS... but modernized. Haiku doesn’t hit the right notes and BeOS was so freaking amazing for its time.

And this comment is just a subtextual justification for making sure you still feel valued for not doing anything unusual. This could go round and round. The point is that there SEEMS to be a correlation with people who learn things for the

Obviously you're being sarcastic, but they're not just dumping netgear routers on walls and saying "TADA! MESH!"... They're actually using industrial grade equipment to do this.

What're they going to say? "CORBA was a giant shitpile and created tire fires for several years but since this is an academic paper, we have to present historical context for our ideas"...

FWIW, I understood what you meant and I agree.

I would suggest that part of the reason is that it comes across as you having an axe to grind, rather than what you’re saying. The conversation was one party agreeing with you about there not being great treatment options until recently whe

The level of pure bullshit that is part of the hiring process these days is mind-boggling. An recent example: I interviewed for company X, where I spent an entire day with more than a dozen engineers, answering the same types of questions o

This has been my experience as well; It's as if every company is looking for a unicorn programmer... when their domain isn't any more or less unique than any other domain. One of the "interesting" side effects is that it

I think the story that WAS told was just as interesting... Angel isn't about the duality of his nature. That was a character device to actually explore Redemption. I think the show did very well at exploring that issue. Angel goes thro

It's not impossible nor is it misleading. I think, frankly, that what you're saying is misleading. You're able to do that because you're obviously "unattached" or "young"... You live in an apartment w

I think in part, it's because "they" have a degree. There can be quite a bit of condescension from people who have degrees towards those who don't.. "I got a degree to get this job, you should have one too".
