Man, I love how people give no agency to companies like this. Mainly because it shows they’re entirely ignorant of the state of the world outside of their very limited knowledge and incorrect beliefs about it.

I also think tech workers should unionize. On a darker note, I think outsourcing/offshoring post-covid is going to kill any unions viability.

Quite possibly, but that’s just another part of the onshore/offshore cycle. And having worked for a company that utilized offshore for coverage reasons, I’m not that worried about my position. Offshore techs are decent, but I have to clean up after them more than my onshore coworkers.

You need bargaining power (withhold your labor) and I’m not sure that will exist for this trade because of how easy it will be to find workers.

Offshore may work as scabs, but much like scabs, the work quality is noticeably worse. Ultimately, I think tech workers are a bigger hindrance to a tech union than the threat of offshoring is. Mainly because of the house cat like “rugged individualism” they’re sure they have and a lack of overall understanding of the system we work in.

Jokes on you, climate change means unpredictable weather, so you’ll actually get worse blizzards.

I bet the kids feel lied to, so probably decepticons

I just lie and say I’m going out of town so I have an excuse why I’m not available to do shit during holidays.

Fuck anybody who makes people work during the holidays because they didn’t want to impact production and “we’re already down so it’s the perfect time for you to do that”.

Or something like factorio. And that’s entirely unrelated to why I’m awake after midnight.

Less than the value unions provide

Just get into a hobby that you only have to do so often. Then you can frustrate yourself, feel better, feel normal again, then forget about it for 2 months.

Reusing frustration to conserve me frustration for what else is coming.

There’s a lot of decent non toilet humor and some really good gunplay. The tiny Tina dlc was amazing, but I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews of the stand alone game.

Lol, is Netflix any of my customers who thought moving to public cloud services was a good idea?

I would ask why customers are so dumb about how much public cloud offerings cost, but I know it’s a combination of 1) seemingly low prices up front, 2) bean counters that aren’t able to accurately cost forecast long term, and 3) a fundamental understanding of just how much compute they actually need. It’s absolutely stupid how many customers we have that are having to pull back on services because some genius thought moving to azure was a good financial move only to find out 6-8mo later that they’ve spent this year’s budget already.

Wasn’t super interested until I saw it was a Hamilton book. Added it to my wishlist, will probably check it out, thanks!

In outcome, sure. But there’s a very big difference in the meaning behind the story.

There is a good reason for that image.

Oh don’t worry, trauma victims will have plenty of memories from that age 🤢🤮

That’s the thing, you’re never going to catch everything. But anything important can be sanity checked by the server when the client checks in, all without opening a vulnerability in your customers’ systems.

So much kernel level anticheat is about offloading the processing power to the customer, and unreasonable desires for control over the systems involved and overall game environment (and probably a decent amount of data mining).

“Butbutbutbut server side anticheat is haaaaaaard and requires us to actually think about what values are actually valid and understand our own internal game states. Kernel level anticheat lets us be lazy costs us less and requires less development time!”

And while Microsoft fucks up plenty, at least they’re a corporation with a reputation to uphold, and I believe they even have a QA team or 2.

Lol. Lmao even

Need to make sure they only stay in first floor locations or places without windows. Whistle blowers gonna be pushed out of windows just like Daddy Vladdy likes.

With my memory, will I notice the onset of Alzheimer’s?
