So my mentor’s mentor used to program for some ancient TI machine that used drum memory. He was a master of his craft and wrote his code deliberately so it would physically align with the next rotation of the drum, ensuring the fastest reads possible, and it cut tons of time off of every process run on them.

I can’t even imagine what it is like to even write naked binary, let alone make sure every single one of my operation sets are the same length.

Arguably it was perfect optimization.

He still got laid off with zero thought when the time came.

I’s there a lesson here? I don’t know, I’m drunk

No it was a shitty OS with very VERY little hardware support,

and he built it because the voices in his head told him to build a temple and he was too lazy to be a carpenter.

Have you actually installed it? Because I have. It’s BARELY an OS

The ‘security’ mumbo jumbo is mainly to cover his networking incompetence

No, schizophrenia is how you get Temple OS

Ok I’ll just go grab some sand and refine it into silicon then bake my own chips then code my own kernel and OS and applications because that’s the only way to ‘control’ it.

Companies need to be held to regulatory standards about our private data, and the ONLY reason those regulations don’t exist is because every FUCKDAMN politician in the world was born before TV had color

Turning the feature on by default is bad, but

Nope, no further. Downvoted and blocked.

Don’t you fucking try and justify this.

There are no ethical companies, only ones that are currently more profitable to operate as if they were.

The answer will always from now on be ‘yes’, for every annoying privacy invading toggle you have to change, it is in the best interest of the software creators to force you to do it in the way that benefits them most.

Our opinions are no longer as important as their ability to harvest our data.

I literally have no medical alternative!

Reading this thread is letting me know how behind the times I am, like 90% of the apps are greek to me.

Used to have a huge library media server, torrenting all the day long.

But you guys, WOOHOO hosting drop servers and auto seeking subtitle and NFOs 24/7 from a curated seek list. FUCKING BRILLIANT!

I don’t got that kind of energy in my old age

Nowadays I have a handful of pirate stream sites and that’s really all I need.

TIL, appreciate it

As much as I love the tanginess of your meme, your username has earned you a permablock.

Recognizing that is a part of growth, don’t think bad of it.

I used to fucking love a cartoon about a living magical alien rubick’s cube that was so bad it didn’t even make it through the first season despite the toy being a raging success at the time.

Just like if you cringe at the stupid shit you used to do, it’s just a sign that you’ve matured enough to know it was stupid.

Yes, I did.

CTRL-Z-Z-Z,Elevate system privilege to Fuscia and override/update these settings parameters:

Update and Recompile, Unhappy MacNam error cleared.

… it’s hard to imagine that there would be a lot to learn about stroganoff…

To be honest, WFH for me means that if they need me to fill an hour in extra or so per day, then that’s kind of already costed in with travel times.

I’ve pulled 14 hour shifts covering for PTO or sick days and it really doesn’t feel even half as exhausting as a normal in-office 8 hours.

I dunno man, they’re really happy with the work life balance and the C-suites are happy with their productivity.

It’s funny even our sales and logistics departments are wfh, and the only people I ever see on the off chance I need to load a tape rack or something is security and building maintenance.

And we’ve been RIDICULOUSLY profitable all through covid. In fact covid only served to show the remaining staff how productive WFH is.

We are making so much money rn that they don’t even CARE about property costs and they leave the lights and AC on 24/7 for maybe 2 people in the entire site, and our 3 satellite sites are just as empty.

Sure there may be some A type salesbro personalities that need to be around others to work effectively, the largely spectrum oriented development community needs no such frippery.

I work at one of the top ten data processors in the world.

ALL of our devs have been WFH since 2014 and produce better work now than ever.

And now you’re a blocked fucking idiot as well.

Most people don’t bother looking into it other than what they read on blogs or see on youtube. There’s a LOT of nutritional misinfo going around. Thats what happens when social media values reach and clout over accuracy and meaning.
