This is why I refuse to buy anything after a certain date when it comes to cars. Luckily I have the ability and resources to maintain and fix my own vehicle.

Yeah... the crux is should electronic conversations be afforded the same rights, and by extension are they assumed rights for all communication? Where to draw the line? It's definitely murky.

The sibling comment has the right of it from snarf21. Rarely does a job bring you into a state of self actualization. If it does, you're very fortunate! I'm coming up on my second decade in the tech industry, and all I can say is

bruh the screen savers is such a blast from the past and peak late 90s/early 00s tech. It's crazy to think Martin Sargent co-hosted with Digg's co-founder Kevin Rose quite a bit on that show.

Not sure about your state's Obamacare, but all the plans offered in my state only cover in network providers. Whereas my employer's plan also covers out of network which I used for therapy. Now I'm stuck paying full price and

I hope startups focused on letting builders build is a net positive outcome of this and all the other tech layoffs.

I found this old blog article at a high level on how Dark Sky works... about 12 years old now. I always loved this app and was kind of sad when Apple acquired them... but to have Apple come in and just buy your app out is probably a great f

Exact same experience, except I've never gone back to a career in game development... although I've considered it at various points in my software dev career.

No, but all those people making "Netflix money" aren't really changing technology, are they? I'd argue FAANG is stagnating it, and telling themselves differently. I guess if you want to make gobs of cash, fine. You could

> The internet could have been like this. It still can and like others have said it does exist in some places. I mean this site is an example, right? :)

I like how this book makes the justification for just fixing it yourself.

I would say a lot of this confusion comes from the word engineer. Building software is not like building a bridge. You can't design it first and then go and build it. So I would say engineer is a poor term, but also the only one we&#x2

So does this also mean that the ISS is no longer able to get serviced, or are there projects to work on in-orbit service vehicles?

The question is... what is a sane amount of alcohol? It’s surprisingly carcinogenic. It’s just the alcohol industry, much like the tobacco industry of yesteryear, has successfully suppressed this info. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

This is what I keep thinking about. I feel it’s going to get even darker on the internet when these influencers have to begrudgingly hand the reins over as they get traded in for the newer models.

I started off as a Windows user, but in college I switched to I think OS X Tiger at the time. To me, it was a pretty impressive upgrade & I had a *nix terminal at my disposal. But imo macOS has been running on the same UX upgrade since

I just read the corporate memphis article, and oh look... Amazon is also using the style right here. All I can do is sigh, and hope for a brighter future.

In my opinion, yes you should probably learn a higher level api than Vulkan first like DX11 or OpenGL if you have no experience. This is also still important for 2D, creating a simple textured quad in Vulkan is at least one order of magnitu

There's certainly an entire industry of people selling useless shit to rich people, but when I heard about it was from a friend who worked at a call center when they used to reach them via phone :D

Same, I used to spend a week+ tweaking things ever so slightly. Now I just install a base system and use kde5 plasma. Easy to theme, has an app launcher. (Which Windows also just got, same shortcut weirdly enough alt + space).
