    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    When compute gets cheap as shit, or when AI models are so important that they have to be trained and hosted securely and privately. It's an imaginable world, but not likely.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    I might have to give Brave a serious try as a daily driver. I have so much Microsoft stuff, I actually like having it all tied into an MS account, especially considering how often I reformat or switch machines. But this is pretty cool.

    Yo I just gotta squeeze like 5 more years out of this 'being good at computers' thing so I can retire before the bots figure out how to break prod all by themselves.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    There are at least 6 people from India on my team of cloud architects and they all do nothing because my manager can't find a single use for them. They bring in no revenue, submit no opportunities, write no docs, work no tickets, draw no Visios, and I bet half of them don't even know anything...

    This is 100% true. And most tech companies laid no one off during COVID for a bunch of reasons. A lot of this is just annual churn catching up. Tech companies used to be all stack-ranked where 5% or 10% of people got fired every year for being the lowest person on their teams. But again...

    lol if you think that's actually what happens inside a real company. None of the decisionmakers ever get fired, only shuffled around. The people who get cut are just the ones who actually have to do the work.

    I've found your problem with the writing. It's coming from inside the house. jk, I also hate the writing for half the characters in this game. Or maybe they're written well TO BE ANNOYING.

    What could actually be happening is that all of these companies want to get acquired. Firing people to cook the books is what companies who want to get acquired do. "Look how low our headcount is vs revenue!?!?!"

    Very corporate companies DO layoff before the holidays, because it cuts down on annual bonuses and all the annual HR paperwork for open enrollment. Consider also that most of these people would have been paid to do nothing for 6 weeks due to change freezes and other technical stuff.

    The first game ultimately broke down into a traffic simulator at 'endgame.' Nearly every other system aside from the trivial water management became bottlenecked by traffic at high population densities. The only way to grow was to come up with increasingly effective ways to deal with traffic...

    I have. I have already stated that I am planning on the next 10 years to be a very rich-get-richer, sideways economy with little disruption, so I'm comfortable with my portfolio being bloated to the top. The massive disruption of the past 15 years appears to be dead, due to lack of 'free...

    Actually, she's not complaining about her job, specifically says she likes her job actually. She's complaining about the lack of available housing near her job that necessitates a 1.5 hour commute by train in each direction, which honestly seems pretty fair. I'll never commute more than 20...

    Yeah, that's the same as the Dell one. I will always pick AW over ASUS given the same specs, Dell warranty support is solid and the build quality is usually a bit less clunky. ASUS branding is just... ugh. That reminds me, I need to dump my PG279QM.

    The Samsung OLED G8 34" Ultrawide and the LG C3 42" are the only two high-end monitors I feel are worth getting right now. Alienware is coming out with a 4K QD-OLED 32" soon though. https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/dell-announce-new-alienware-27-1440p-360hz-and-32-4k-240hz-qd-oled-gaming-monitors...
