Yeah, you’re completely right, I was more going for not impossible, but it’s even more luck than I realised

Well, impossible to do with certainty.

But people are paid to try and do it at investment banks, and with enough outsider knowledge they can often get it right

Of course that’s practically just gambling at a much greater scale

I was about to say, the only place a warm seat is welcome is in Japan.

One day, you will not have the luxury of choice

“gotta see shit to know shit” someone once said to me

It pops into my head semi-regularly

Turkey is an amazing country with amazing people in it

The unfortunate part is their leader is the opposite and is currently holding their country and people hostage

Sounds like you’re after hackaday and similar specialist blogs

General tech sites will mostly cater to the tech the general public care about, enthusiasts don’t bring in the ad money comparatively

You know when we recently had one of our leaders crash our economy with right-wing vibe economics in the UK, we kicked her out of the job pretty quickly and now consider her a laughing stock.

Precedent has already been set with what you do in this scenario—what’s taking you guys so long?

Strong urge to watch him comb his hair real fast

Anonymous is a group?! I thought it was just that one guy, 4chan!

Reddit died June 2023

I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse

Ticketmaster only exists to reduce the income of musicians.

The musicians would exist without Ticketmaster

The venues would exist without Ticketmaster

The crowd would exist without Ticketmaster

They only extract value

Apparently it really is the case that anyone who isn’t white is somehow unqualified.

I mean DEI literally exists to remedy the problem of institutional white supremacy (amongst other related issues).

When someone is against DEI, that leaves the objective conclusion they’re either ignorant, and will change their mind when presented with reality, or they’re pro-white-supremacy—i.e. a Neo-Nazi fascist, with zero room for leeway.

The fight for equality is always the same no matter what new labels the fuckos put on their current theft of freedom.

I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.

It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil

Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.

This is the first time I’ve realised these comics are actually from the 50s and not just modern ones stylised to look like it

A software engineer was not involved in this if waterfall is painted positively.

I think the last time I heard an engineer unironically advocating for a waterfall IRL was about a decade ago and they were the one of the crab-in-a-bucket, I-refuse-to-learn-anything-new types—with that being the very obvious motivation for their push-back.

You get used to it, I don’t even see the code—I just see: group… pattern… read-ahead…

Why? If they’ve not done anything wrong, they’ve got nothing to hide

Pretty sure that’s not the case, had a little Google and it seems like I’m right, but I’m open to being corrected if I’m wrong or misunderstanding what you mean. Here’s evidence to support my claim:
