The main political realization I had with growing up lower class, still live in poorer areas, and making it to being high income is that basing government programs around income is terrible policy. 1. It's extremely unfair 2. It punish

> Leadership is what's needed for leadership jobs. It's in the title. All leadership is the same: inspire the troops, block the bullshit, elevate the good shit. How you do that changes by rank. A big part of leadership, which m

This is pretty muchy experience as well. AI is a fantastic helper, and it will make devs more productive, but it is not going to put all software devs out of work. Probably a tiny fraction of them at best. However, with recent grads floodin

First 25 have some really good points about personal growth. Second 25, while not being bad, aren't near as insightful. Could prune that list down a lot and have some really good self improvement facts.

I used the OVAL "Open source Vulnerability Assessment Language", written in XML, daily to automate STIGs. Finding documentation for it was awful, but once I knew the syntax development was a breeze. Most chill job I ever had. A jo

Emulation is great because it preserves games that would be lost to time after the physical media dies off. Emulation that allows piracy of brand new games is straight up stealing. While I don't feel sorry for large corporations becaus

Our governments are so dysfunctional and corrupt our only hope is that AI will actually be benevolent and can help guide us and solve problems. Because, as the comic, and thousands of other examples show, our governments aren't actuall

I want to offer supporting evidence. Had a Vizio that is closing in on a decade old and runs great. Was given a TCL 4k Roku TV that is a piece of crap. Can't complain too much since it was free, but I'll never buy a TCL or Roku T

I'm not a PM, but you are exactly the kind of PM I love to work for. So many PMs are either over bearing or scared to make decisions; or, the worst, that do both, over bearing and micromanaging all the time and then blames the team whe

A vast majority of people want the federal government to legalize weed. I think the average of polls is over 70% of the population. Even on polls of just conservatives it's over 50%. It's the most obvious no brainer thing to do, t

Society doesn't care when big business fails, but those businesses have the money and power to make the government care, so they get help. The rest of us don't have the ability to make the government care about us, so we get screw

So, to play devil's advocate, 23andMe shouldn't allow credential stuffing to happen by rate limiting logins after so many failed logins, or locking accounts after failed logins. They could've blocked source IPs making all the

I usually read tech stuff that doesn't require hands on coding to understand. At most, I just read their code examples to understand the concept. If I feel exploring it hands on will be worth while, I'll go back over it on my comp

Ditched reddit about halfway through 2023 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I study and read actual stuff on my phone now, instead of browsing increasingly crappy content. I do log on occasionally but it's only ever to

Care to share what "Steam's more convenient method of running Windows games" is? I love Linux, but gaming is the only thing keeping me going back to Linux as my main OS. I heard that Linux can play most steam games except Mul

Eventually you'll just have to upgrade because the phone is too slow. I had to upgrade from my galaxy S8 earlier this year because it slowed to a crawl, my wife commented on how slow it was every time she used it. I had it for 5 years.

Holy crap, that's insane. Whoever made the decision that all middle school children need smart phones to ride the bus is an idiot.

My kids are 6 and 2. The only time I have for this is after they are in bed, which is around 9:30 when they're both fully asleep, and I'm usually just ready to sit down and mentally checkout at that point. I feel motivated all day

I'm confused how all of this doesn't violate the GDRP in the EU? I'm not an expert, but at face value I'd assume none of this is allowed by the GDRP, unless they found a loophole or no one was aware of it.
