- Comment on Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.' 5 weeks ago:
I’m gonna be looking for a new job soon and I’ve been reading stuff like this more & more. Makes me really scared. I guess reaching out to recruiters directly via LinkedIn is more important than ever. I also hope the AI software hasn’t made its way down to small/medium-sized companies yet, since those are the ones I’d rather work for anyways
- Comment on Zero-day: Bluetooth gap turns millions of headphones into listening stations 5 weeks ago:
I was hoping this would allow me to take over Bluetooth speakers that people use while skiing and replace their music with a PSA about how no one wants to hear their music

Windows + . to bring up emoji keyboard
Various Linux DEs have emoji keyboards too, I know KDE does

The ORIGINAL source code is copyrighted, but decompiling does not give you the original source code. Decomp tools give you generic variable names like unsigned_int_4 and then it’s up to you to decipher what the purpose of the variable even is and give it a relevant name. So it’s virtually impossible you’ll get a character-for-character match to the original.
Also, decomps have different levels of accuracy. You may get something that is a perfect behavioral match, even though there’s differences in the instructions being run. You may get an instruction-perfect match but not a byte-perfect match between the binaries.
IANAL but this is what I’ve learned from following decomp projects on YouTube

Computer science is more of a math degree than anything else
- Comment on Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket 1 month ago:
I imagine they poached a lot of Spacex engineers by simply telling them “we won’t make you work ungodly hours, nor will we subject you to a narcissistic manchild with no engineering education dropping in on your meetings and trying to tell you how to do your job”

I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own
- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons 2 months ago:
My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.
By admitting to the sunk cost fallacy, you’ve really only proven my point. You’re gonna find ways to defend the game more than you should, unconsciously or not.
I know it’s hard, but in this current era of live service games recording metrics beyond just purchased copies of the game, you should vote with your play time, regardless of how much you’ve already put into the game.

Tbh this is also the attitude of cod players who stuck around after the BO6 release. Warzone especially took a huge step backwards. 20 Hz server-side updates for a battle royale game is pretty sad

- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 2 months ago:
I never used Pocket itself, but I do like having the grid of news articles on the new tab page, which I believe is powered by Pocket in some shape or form. Anyone know if that feature is going away too?
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 2 months ago:
I used to have that problem with ln until I realized it’s essentially the same ordering as cp: source, then destination. The source being the existing file that you’re linking to, and the destination being the link that you’re creating
- Comment on Blizzard's Overwatch Team Just Unionized: 'What I Want To Protect Most Here Is The People' 2 months ago:
Yeah, the team has been in a good bargaining position because the higher-ups are seeing OW players switching to Marvel Rivals in droves and realizing that they need to start listening to people who actually know what they’re talking about. Props to the team for sensing this is a good time to gain some ground and unionize

My favorite part of watching WWE is the way their main commentator says “WWE”. You can tell he savors every syllable of it
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives 2 months ago:
I get it but maybe something different like “Musk-led Tesla” would achieve what you said while also making it clear he plays no creative role in the companies (which he very much wants, just look up reports of him sitting in on engineering meetings making stupid proposals)
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives 2 months ago:
Agreed but we should say something different like “Musk-led Tesla”
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives 2 months ago:
Can we agree to stop saying “Musk’s Grok”, “Musk’s Tesla”, etc.? It only plays into his desire to be viewed as a genius instead of just a guy with blood diamond money. He’s never created anything.
- Comment on I can't pay rent because devs just don't care 3 months ago:
You tend to see nonsensical, disjointed product UX and usability decisions a lot more in bigger, highly hierarchical organisations, with big teams, highly specialised, siloed ICs several levels removed from their end users by layers and layers of middle management fat.
Yep, and those layers and layers of middle management will never walk away from a UI/UX review saying “yeah, looks good to me!” because that wouldn’t justify their existence, so they feel compelled to say something even when there’s zero real issues, which is how you end up with inane bullshit

- Comment on I can't pay rent because devs just don't care 3 months ago:
Author did kinda reference this with the ✨Development Velocity✨ part, but the truth is managers and businesspeople* are the ones that just don’t care. Well, not about users at least. Managers just care about promotions and maintaining the upper hand in office politics, and businesspeople just care about money.
If devs were given the proper amount of time to implement things, they wouldn’t be adding GBs of NPM packages from which only one function is used.
If devs were given any power in the decision-making process, the “17 tracking scripts you put on your websites which added 0.004 pence to your bottom line” would never be added

- Comment on Suspected 4chan Hack Could Expose Longtime, Anonymous Admins 3 months ago:
I feel like the result of this is gonna be a big ol nothingburger. There’s no way someone works as a mod/admin for the most controversial website on the internet and uses an email address that can be linked to their real identity, and doesn’t use a VPN/tor.
Pretty sensationalist article IMO. I mean, they act like the source code being leaked is newsworthy. Somebody with a month of coding experience could write that website in an afternoon.

Sorry if this has already been discussed but is anyone else worried that “Nicole’s” pictures are from the webcam on a compromised computer? They’re always from the same angle and she’s not really posing for most of them
