50/50 for me. Last update didn’t shut down, one before that did.

Updates only make products worse, not better.

CS2 just doesn’t precompile shaders. The game just shits itself running on AMD because of that.

The shader cache itself is also broken and gets reset by the game on every restart.

But Kotlin is actually an improvement over Java.

Golang thoooooo

But somehow, Google couldn’t be bothered to advertise the product at all. They ran 1 Super Bowl commercial which didn’t make a whole lot of sense to the average viewer, and then basically zero marketing after that.

Google is really bad at marketing despite being an advertising company. Most of the products they’ve launched then shut down I just never heard of, despite finding the ideas behind them really enticing after the fact.

The internet could be and should be so much more

The internet is already too much.

That meme’s been on the front page every day for the last week. Did karma farming bots make their way here?

Surprisingly more readable than standard C++

It’s good old C.

Unix was originally a networked system that many terminals would connect to. Being able to actually reach the machine meant that you had authority.

It’s the same today. If someone has physical access, the system is so screwed that you can just give total privileges anyways.

I got a note 10 pro as well.

First thing I did after I got it was to install LineageOS. It’s so much better.

I’ve even had one tell me that he and Pence were the two prophets of the End Times in Revelations.

In a way they are

I also used to have that message but it seems like they’ve got that back in order.

I remember that back then you could download an extension to pretend your user agent was Chrome and Teams would work flawlessly.

Which is why the first thing I do when I get a new Android phone is to install LineageOS.

Working as a software engineer developing for the IT team, I understand the system I’m developing on, but not the system I’m developing.

Jira customfields give me nightmares.

Yep.

But reading one outdated line of English is worse than reading 5 lines of code and seeing the true picture.

Teams is still horribly optimized and barely works though. I love having to restart my computer in order to be able to sign in.

Protip: It’s much faster and more stable when just opened as a webpage in Firefox

Stage 2: it works and you feel the dread that you won’t hunt that bug down until it crashes prod.

Because it’s better to deliver a page in a single request, than to deliver it in multiple. If you render the page on the client you end up making a lot of requests, each one requiring a round trip and adding more and more delay.
