- Comment on Work from home 2 hours ago:
Fair enough. Subordinate is the term I've always heard used. Direct reports just sounds like the sugar coated version to me.
- Comment on Work from home 1 day ago:
It really saddens to me see how many managers out there treat their subordinates terribly, and then act surprised when their subordinates do the same - as though employees are meant to greatful for their terrible treatment
- Comment on Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising 3 days ago:
Win11 becomes a less and less appealing switch day by day... When I can no longer hold into Win10, I think I'll just have to jump ship to Linux.
Win10 is already quite privacy poor, but Win11 is straight up intolerable.
- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 3 days ago:
Well I suppose the answer I'd give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries
- Comment on 1 ep per week goes brrrrrrrrrr! 3 days ago:
20 episodes in a single day is a slog, even for a show you like.
Unless you're watching a dub, you can't just listen, you have to be watching the whole time otherwise you miss the sub and have to go back - so you have to be giving your full concentration.
Personally I find it quite hard to my full concentration for more than a couple of hours - nevermind the 7 hours it would take to pull this off.
- Comment on Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? 6 days ago:
Cows, sure. Just don't startle them or go near their calfs. They're mostly just curious.
Bulls, only if you have to, but make it quick and stay as far away from them as you can. They're fiercely territorial and not afraid to show it.
- Comment on Automation 6 days ago:
Exactly!
Applicants are expected to dedicated hours of their time to writing their application and performing background research - both of which are becoming increasingly more tedious over time - so the least a company could bloody do is show some basic respect by paying an actual human being to come interview you!
- Comment on Automation 1 week ago:
The idea of AI automated job interviews sickens me. How little of a fuck do you have to give about applicants that you can't even be bothered to have even a single person interview them??
- Comment on 'One of the wildest Finnish startup says it can speed up any CPU by 100x using a tiny piece of hardware with no recoding 1 week ago:
The TL;DR for the article is that the headline isn't exactly true. At this moment in time their PPU can potentially double a CPU's performance - the 100x claim comes with the caveat of "further software optimisation".
Tbh, I'm sceptical of the caveat. It feels like me telling someone I can only draw a stickman right now, but I could paint the Mona Lisa with some training.
Of course that could happen, but it's not very likely to - so I'll believe it when I see it.
Having said that they're not wrong about CPU bottlenecks and the slowed rate of CPU performance improvements - so a doubling of performance would be huge in this current market.
- Comment on “We Can Still Contact Technical Support in the West”: Russian weapons are being manufactured on foreign machinery — but why are they still running? 1 week ago:
So essentially weapons manufacturers are now, instead of supplying directly to Russia, allowing their weapons to be sold to vendors with ties to Russian military vendors (who definitely wouldn't ever supply Russia) and turning a blind eye to it so they can claim to be following sanctions.
What filthy traitors. Should send them to the front line just so they can see what the weapons they're allowing Russia to obtain are being used for.

Yeah, I'm aware of the "God of the Gaps" idea.
But that's not what I'm talking about, nor are those the types of people I'm talking about.
The zealot types don't just avoid learning about science, they actively oppose it. They ask questions like those @Ibaudia said not because they want to know the answer, but because they're trying to sow seeds of doubt into those who see them.
Those questions aren't made for you or I to answer - and if you do try, they'll shout you down or sandbag you until you give up.
- Comment on Get scattered 1 week ago:
In my experience of these zealot types, it's that they don't want to know the answer, and won't accept any answer that isn't literally bulletproof all the way back to the beginning of time - no matter what you tell them, God did it.
It's like playing a pigeon at chess. It'll shit on the board and then strut around like it won.
