Or even on fairly high end (by general public standards, not gaming community standards) consumer hardware. Fantastic fit for M-series Macs with 32-96GB RAM.

Missed opportunity to use the term “black hole sun”. Just saying.

I’m not aware of anything I buy/use that comes from Israel, so it’s been a moot point.

I do maintain some boycotts that significantly inconvenience me (Amazon being one; I won’t enumerate them all), so I’m not just making excuses for inaction.

Ideally any, and yes, I’m aware that that currently includes the US. Being located there (though very much opposed to said war) it’s a bit difficult for me to boycott, personally.

Typing in something like this still just takes me to the search engine’s page (where depending on the engine and the calculation there is sometimes an answer at the top).

Yikes! I wish you luck. I promise better workplaces do exist.

Now what happens is that basically-working but poorly-designed code gets pushed anyway, with half-assed bot review. What happens next is that complexity and defect rates gradually climb until the software becomes too fragile to change without imploding. If we’re lucky, eventually people conclude that the situation isn’t sustainable.

This reads like a Taco Bell PR piece.

Because scammers are so good at following regulations already?

I hope you’re already looking for a different job. Because it’s never worthwhile in the long run to sacrifice your own mental or physical health for someone else’s career prospects or profit.

Not just the right level of abstraction but the right choice of abstraction.

No need. The probes are about as real as birds are.

Was this sponsored by the sugar industry?

I do it more when typing on mobile. Ain’t nobody wants to read (or try to edit) paragraphs almost as long as their screen is tall.

Another (worse than ever) Actions outage today.

You can’t take it with you. But you can run out of money late in life and spend your last half decade either on the streets or marinating in your own feces in an understaffed nobody-cares state run nursing home.
