That fact alone makes me question his judgement and therefore critical thinking skills.

It’s all computer!

Meh, I can’t dunk on this one. Despite paying for a password manager, I still use the same password for things I don’t care about / that can’t be used to exploit me. The other day I had to register for something stupid and that’s what I used, yet again. Granted, I’m not logging into game-changing accounts with it, but I get it. I’ll dunk on her for policy.

I’m a unix nerd. They built their OS on unix. It’s not unix anymore, but I don’t think they’re intentionally making it difficult. I had more trouble going from unix/linux to windows understanding where files were.

iphone to external drive on a mac is a nightmare.

Yes, it should be better. But you know how you mass-produce a product at a competitive price (though premium) and sell a shitload of them? By optimizing for the average user. They should be awesome in every area. But when you choose what you focus on, it’s not the tiny number of users with niche needs. This is similar to arguing that they should have higher than 10Gbps transfer speeds. It’s not useful for enough people to justify the cost. And software is a cost, just as is hardware.

Drawn Together was hilarious. It ended because sponsors were too uncomfortable advertising alongside it. It could never get made today.

I approached someone before the pan and asked for her number. She provided it and while it didn’t go anywhere, she complimented me for doing a real-life approach. But I’m twice your age, so I’d go with what peers your age tell you. The rules could be completely different.

When a shitbag like MTG opposes your bill for the right reasons, you’re completely checked out from reality. Fuck zionists in their stupid asses.

When I was in the third grade (in Tennessee), I said “Oh my god,” and a girl said she’d tell the teacher I said a swear word. I didn’t understand and pushed back. She explained the “lord’s name in vain,” and that just wasn’t a thing in our house. I got pretty offended. I’m still offended at that stupid shit.

Fuck god, hail satan, gimme a beer.

Mostly laziness. I’m not sure that there’s anything I currently do where this would be a tool for me, so I think if I was using it it’d be out of enthusiasm for the tool causing me to look for reasons to use it and that’d eventually peter out.

Finally.

I’m compelled but I don’t know if it’d stick longterm just cause I know myself.

I bought a waterproof WiFi speaker for the shower. I listen to a podcast while I shower and my phone sits on the counter far from water. As soon as I get dry, I switch back to earbuds. Works great.

If you have the time, I think it’s a great idea.

The Mythical Man-Month.

Made me silently count to ten to confirm. Mind expanded.

Like saying 2025-04-19 and 19-04-2025 and 04-19-2025 aren’t compatible. Yep, agreed.

If you want to pursue CS because you can make money (you did say the alternative was mgmt), DON’T. We don’t need more of you in our industry. It used to be fun before all the would-be lawyers and would-be doctors who don’t care about tech got here. Study literature or something. Leave tech alone.

Edit: self-taught, no degree.

Now we’re just being silly. Cool find.

I wanna hear Apocolytica incorporate one of these.

Yes.
