Yeah, no surprise. Getting a clearance sucks. It takes forever and you're subjected to very intrusive scrutiny as well as potentially psychological tomfoolery like polygraphs. Why would a qualified individual subject themselves to that

Nice to have a quick and dirty pronunciation guide for this. Interesting how useless transliteration can be unless the reader is familiar with the system. Naiively applying conventional pronunciation rules to transliterated words can yield

It's not that complicated. Healthcare is expensive, sure. It's made more expensive by allowing the private healthcare industry to operate in such a parasitic way. Americans and their employers pay an obscene amount of money to ins

Both terms are euphemistic for the groups they refer to. You call it young adult fiction because most teenagers would rather be perceived as young adults than children. You call people middle aged in their 50s because no one wants to be rem

Well yeah. Windows 10 runs on almost anything x86-64 made in the last 15 years. It's also the last Windows version to be available in 32 bit. Windows 11 is essentially the same OS but with some arbitrary hardware requirements added.

Really curious how the Windows 10 EOL crunch is going to go next year. It feels like there must be a ton of systems out there with pre 8th Gen Intel CPUs and with no TPM. On the one hand, PCs are cheap enough nowadays that maybe MS can forc

A lot of serious software offerings are only concerned with the server use case, modern servers run Linux unless there's a good reason not to, and modern windows has more than one acceptable way to run Linux binaries if you absolutely

The interesting thing is that Valve is not a "huge company". They're privately held and only had 336 employees the last time headcount was reported (2021).

Yeah I mean either that or do the bare minimum of audio production if you're interviewing someone. If you have to interview them over a video call, at least have them record their own audio channel locally on a decent mic and don'

Yeah, ok? I'm not sure what your point is. At the time of founding the USA was probably still the most liberal and democratic government in history of the world.

You are technically right, but anyone 35 and younger is currently experiencing the highest interest rates of their adult lives. Whether higher rates are good or bad is irrelevant considering the economic churn that occurs when a system that

If JavaScript (V8) and PyPy can be fast, then CPython can be fast too. It's just that the CPython developers and much of the Python community sat on their hands for 15 years and said stuff like "performance isn't a primary go
