What would be even more wild is if you edited/replied to yourself and said, “nvm figured it out”…only to later discover it and not remember what you did

Not so much a verbal thing, but just the general first glance demeanor on a blind date or an internet date…tough to forget.

Also, growing up I was always told I’d never amount to anything spending so much time on computers and that I needed to do something with my life. Well, I made over $500k last year in software engineering consulting…so…yeah.

Are you self hosting?

This makes my chest ache. That’s…so painful and sad.

I was thinking similar. Would be interesting to see what happens. I just wonder if it’d be possible to do on a mass scale before they catch on and start disallowing bankruptcy filings.

Might devolve into everyone just ceasing payments on CCs, loans, mortgages period.

This post is amazing.

Some crazy part of me wonders what would happen if 50%-75%+ of people just straight up refused to pay.

And, not for like…one month. But 6-12 months. It would have to have a meaningful, negative impact to banks? Right?

It’s the sad state of affairs in America right now.

Do you suck on them or just like…crunch/chew? Do you eat more than one at once?

I was reading on their wiki page that they have gone through some formula changes, was it noticeable to you?

If you’re serious, can I ask why? I’ve never met someone who likes them and I’m curious what it is about them that people like.

Well that’s sketch as fuck.

Turns out to be an insurance phone salesperson job 9/10.

As someone who develops web apps for a living…probably all the shitty websites / apps out there.

Product doesn’t care about optimizations, they care about speed to market / customer. That means I also have to not care, so all the code is janky AF and full of nice O(n^2) or worse algos and keeping shit tons (hundreds…thousands…tens of thousands…) of full 100+ data point payloads in memory even though the app only needs one tiny field from it. etc. etc.

Also all that telemetry. Yum.

I recently learned my friend works at a company that has telemetry in their web app that screenshots the page and sends back what the user is doing every 3 seconds or something. As well as the current state of the app. It lets developers rewind/replay situations for debugging. But the sheer amount of data captured and sent over the wire blew my mind.

edit: Sorry ELI5…lots of sites are suboptimal in design and hold on to or track a lot more than is actually needed for proper functionality. Couple that with telemetry that either Google or the web app itself wants to gather on everything you do and you’re in for a bad time.

…and no avocado toast, right?

Code code code

I mean it’s my personal machine but I am a software engineer consultant/contractor so I use it for work, too.

I just said I’m not doing graphic design or movie editing. I typically have 10 different browser profiles open to separate data / bookmarks, maybe 8 email accounts in tabs and Outlook (if not on Linux), 4-8 VS code windows, a mix of jetbrains rider or visual studio instances, a smattering mix of postman/SQL server/azure data studio/thunder client, among other things like PDFs and documents. And then multiple docker containers and other local running servers.

The swap usually comes in when I’m parsing a data file or something.

I’ll admit I don’t use Macs, so maybe they are more efficient than the Linux and windows machines I work off…

…but I typically use machines with 64GB and recently upgraded my personal machine to 128GB. I still swap about 50GB to my SSD from time to time.

And I’m not doing heavy graphic design or movie editing stuff.

I cannot fathom for the life of me how 8GB would ever be feasible.

I knew a guy in college who had to do this, he had a degenerative eye disease or something that no amount of glasses, hard contacts, or whatever could fix. It seemed like it royally sucked, but he always seemed in good spirits.

Except I vaguely recall he impaled his own leg on a sharp branch while jogging because he couldn’t see it. That would suck.

Absolutely. For some crazy-ass reason my job transitioned away from Teams (I get it) and Slack and to Discord.

Discord is garbage for this type of work environment. Maybe it works for some? But it just doesn’t make sense.
