They simply do not know how to lose.

Shockingly, the app used to be worse. Of course, now today their ad backend is down so the app won’t work at all.

“Hey dad, the WiFi in my dorm room keeps cutting out”

“Have you gotten your Ethernet hooked up yet?”

“Hey dad, when I try to stream TV, it keeps buffering”

“Have you gotten your Ethernet hooked up yet?”

Someday they’ll get it.

That’s how they pay for Android. Just because you don’t pay a royalty doesn’t mean the software is free. (Even if it is libre)

Aside from inflation and limited benefit of upgrading, subscriptions for every little thing are depleting discretionary income.

Go into embedded software. You can’t do ads if there is no UI taps head.

Don't forget the 8:07 start time (even though I really like the 6 o'clock starts)

Look at their outfits and try to tell me any of them would look out of place in a pride parade.

 

For those who avoid the nameless website: Maskim was spotted posed with his thumb between his first two fingers.

Book Spoilers - LoC:

Delana opened her mouth to say that she had never heard of any Halima Saranov, and a woman appeared in the doorway. Delana stared in spite of herself. The woman managed to be slender and lush at the same time, and wore a dark gray riding dress cut ridiculously low; long lustrous black hair framed a green-eyed face that probably made every man who glimpsed it gape. That was not why Delana stared, of course. The woman held her hands at her sides, but with thumbs thrust hard between the first two fingers. Delana had never expected to see that from any woman who did not wear the shawl, and this Halima Saranov could not even channel. She was close enough to be sure of that.

It is a nice break from my day job, where I am certifying software for critical systems.

sigh

Yes, so much. It drove me crazy when a car company argued “but our logs say it was the driver’s fault”. We’re arguing that your most critical software failed, and you want us to trust the logging subsystem?

The NTSC needs to be qualifying car software the same way the FAA qualifies aircraft software. We need to stop trusting the manufacturers to self police.

Along with the rest of crypto, but don’t tell them…

The problem is the perception that having a college education automatically means that you get a high paying job, when the reason that college educated people got paid more was that there were fewer of them. As college education becomes the norm rather than the exception, it just means that more jobs require degrees.

Is this a question? Endorsement?
