I think that’s the point, nobody is blaming the individual dev but the org and leadership.

Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.

Investors are also terminally stupid,
Also, they are mostly bots.
- Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills 1 week ago:
W40K has the same premise, except the “app-savvy” people are cyborg tech-priests praying to machine spirits, and which button to press is codified into rites.

If you sneak onto someone’s campground property and have a bonfire party
Ah, I would say that is worse than piracy, since you deprive them of the ground for a time. A better analogy would be sneaking into the party they are having and enjoying it with them without paying for an invitation. Or sneaking into a concert.

I’m happy at least the Sun has time to rest at night, it would be so hard to keep shining all day
- Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work? 2 weeks ago:
I also do have a degree in mech eng and electrics as well. Electrics are much, much simpler, the reason EVs have a reputation for being hard to service is that they are new and chock full of online bullshit, which is true of new ICE cars as well. If it was just the battery and the motors, it’s incredibly simple.

Will a new anything work if the manufacturer kills off the entirely unnecessarily forced network features?
This is not an EV problem, this is an MBA grifting problem.

I would just like to point out that it can still get so, so much worse.

Ironic for the name of the game

Outsourced to Asia, and you get phone pranks the quality of Jian Yang from Silicon Valley.
- Comment on What is going to happen when AI becomes extremely advanced? 3 weeks ago:
Jobs disappeared, most people got other jobs, some better, most worse and the unluckiest starved.
What happened is that people started to stay longer in school, agricultural labour withered, and with it, kids having to work the fields at a very young age. People became more educated, resulting in more democratic societies, more equality, and a higher standard of living.
This was not because of the machine looms and steam engines, but because greedy fucks used them to put people in a position where they had no choice but to push back, and that labour action created unions, five-day work weeks, 8-hour days, paid time off for sickness and leisure, and pretty much everything we take for granted.

Nah, it’s I guess jargon at this point, but it really just means to make up your own crypto algos.
- Comment on What are some good flight simulator games? 3 weeks ago:
DCS has combat oriented stuff but I don’t know if it has actual missions to use the weapons.
DCS literally stands for Digital Combat Simulator, it’s a combat sim all right. The thing though is that it has a very high difficulty curve, and it’s more of a thinking game than an action one, you spend minutes setting up ground attack shots and even dogfighting is more about thinking and energy retention and stuff instead of twitchy reflex stuff.
The free DCS module is actually a pretty good one to start with, but mind the difficulty curve. While Ace Combat is like “missile incoming, turn sharp to dodge”, DCS is “boom - you’re dead”. At least in the campaign, set up the plane to drop flares constantly and stay above 4000.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 4 weeks ago:
Just to be clear, I am in love with statistics and especially generative algos, and have written papers on it before ChatGPT was a thing.
I just hate that one company made a chatbot with it and now the whole world is cargo culting around it.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 4 weeks ago:
Especially with how we say releases are “cut” from the master branch, it makes a ton of sense.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 4 weeks ago:
Cue the pivot to some ridiculous buzz tech like AI in the near future, then being acquired and promptly abandoned by some big corp.
- Comment on Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why? 4 weeks ago:
Either somewhere on the far left, and we’ll see some actual breakthrough with major impact in the future which actually gets hyped, or on the far right and it already happened, it was just too niche for anyone other than a specific small group to notice.

It already is, that movie was worse than not making it.

Some countries use YYYY MM DD which is also sane.
- Comment on What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024? 4 weeks ago:
Just went to a videogame museum, they had the original Asteroids on the Atari 2600, from 1980. My favourite though was the Star Wars Racer arcade machine, it was even paired up with another one for multiplayer!
- Comment on Self-driving Waymo cars keep SF residents awake all night by honking at each other 5 weeks ago:
I’m a dude and I still prefer car shares over taxi drivers. Less weed smoke, the driver is not on Tiktok while driving, no erratic driving, and it’s cheaper too.
- Comment on Trump campaign reportedly hacked by Iranian government 5 weeks ago:
Sure they want that, but which general? The one Trump murdered, or the one that Israel did recently? Just from the very restrained retaliations from that shows to me that they are doveish. Bibi is hawkish, and wants Trump in the Oval Office.
- Comment on Trump campaign reportedly hacked by Iranian government 5 weeks ago:
The isolationism is just a front for Trump wanting the US to switch sides in the global democracies vs. dictatorships divide. He wants to isolate from Europe and ally with Russia, North Korea, Israel.
Trump likes Bibi, and likes Gaza beachfront properties. Bibi needs wars to stay in power. Trump would not only back Israel, they would back Israel’s current genocidal leadership specifically.
Trump’s opinion on Gaza is to let Israel “finish the job”.
- Comment on Trump campaign reportedly hacked by Iranian government 5 weeks ago:
To be honest, I’m with Iran here. They don’t want a war with Israel. They especially don’t want a war with a US backed Israel. They are an oppressive regime, sure, but at least they are trying to be a peaceful one right now.
