How dare you have a reasonable response when we all just wanna be pissed. /s

But seriously some people should just not interact with the public. It’s a thankless job and you have to have very thick skin and the patience of a saint. I also have a theory that a large percentage of CEOs are sociopaths/psychopaths so …

I don’t use the phone part to be honest. It’s an always connected mobile computer. The only calls I answer are from my wife and mom.

I loved the nerdiness of the show but it was more like they were making fun of them instead of laughing with them.

I totally related to almost all of the culture since I’m a giant nerd

Add Shawshank Redemption to this list and it would basically be my list.

The USPTO is notorious for granting insane patents knowing they are invalid or too vague and expect the court system to be the final arbiter. It’s almost as if they like stirring shit up for there own amusement.

The issue is the line that says “compensate creators”. Reddit still thinks it’s the creator, not the individual users.

Also scientists today: Vaccines do not cause autism and actually work.

Someone took Shaggy’s weed…

They also own .here which I want a domain with so bad…

I still remember all my family’s phone numbers from when I was a kid growing up In WV in the 70s

I currently have my wife’s number memorized and that’s it. Not my mom, my kids, friends, anybody. I just don’t have to. It’s all in my phone.

But I’m also of the opinion that NOT having this info in my head has freed it up for more important things. Like memes and cat videos 🤣

But seriously, I don’t think this tool, and AI is just a tool, is dumbing me down. Yes I think about certain things less, but it allows me to ask different or better questions, and just learn differently. I don’t necessarily trust everything it spits out, I double check all code it produces, etc. It’s very good at explaining things or providing other examples. Since I’m older, I’ve heard similar arguments about TV and/or the Internet. LLMs are a very interesting tool that have good and bad uses. They are not intelligent, at least not yet, and are not the solution to everything technical. They are very resource intensive and should be used much more judiciously then the currently are.

Ultimately it boils down to if you’re lazy, this allows you to be more lazy. If you don’t want to continue learning and just rely on it, you are gonna have a bad time. Be skeptical, questioning, employee critical thinking, take in information from lots of sources, and in the end you will be fine. That is unless it becomes sentient and wipes us all out.

I don’t even like Hollow Knight that much but I’ll buy it because it’s $20.

On a frictionless plane?

I’ve never understood the reason for WSL. If you want Linux, run Linux. At the very least in a VM.

Start with docker. Any OS will do. Most Linux distros are better but I run docker on Mac, Linux, Windows (not a lot in windows since I despise Microsoft but it does work).

The great thing about docker is it is very portable, modular, and easy to get back to a known state. Say you screw something up, just revert and start over. It’s also very easy to understand in my opinion. It’s like all the benefits of virtualization with much less over head.

Oh that Centipede… at first I was like “I don’t really want that simulated…”

So the truth is organized bias?!?

I have been coding since I was 10 years old. I have a CS degree and have been in professional IT for like 30 years. Started as a developer but I’m primarily hardware and architecture now. I have never ever said I was a computer scientist. That just sounds weird.

NFS is still useful. We use it in production systems now. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

And if you have a dedicated system for this, I’d look into TrueNAS Scale.
