Is this car insurance or a gacha game?

No thank you.

Hopefully, personal IR laser countermeasures.

Sounds terrible. I'd love to see someone following Facebook employees around Surveillance Camera Man style, at the grocery store and as they eat dinner outside. I'm sure they wouldn't react poorly.

What are you going to do, sue them?

That's a job for a regular engineer.

That's ten file cabinets of storage capacity.

Thankfully we only have to worry about HIPAA.

Doubt. Good luck not getting instantly banned on Gab for left wing opinions.

No, not really, they're pretty quick with the ban hammer against heathens and communists.

Cargo bicycle and cook at home?

Delivery drivers are climate arsonists and should be treated as such. They should be bicycling. I'm against anything that increases the amount of car traffic.

Eh, it had the same unglamorous fate as the robot from Evangelion.

Scientific management and its consequences, etc.

Did a middle manager write this?

If maths don't have a why, then programming languages don't have a why. They're both abstractions.

Do you work with PHI or PII? Should there be a webcam in the home of software developers with much more efficient access to that data? They can dump the entire customer database and sell it to spammers, can call center employees do that?

This is definitely true for library code. I don't think the idea holds up for squishier things- moving from version 1.x to 2.x could make the user experience worse, depending on what you prioritize and who's making decisions.

Is it me, or is there no volume control for the music?

Why the second best?

Clippy is back baby.

The younger generation had significantly less tetraethyllead exposure. I wonder if that had any impact.

I do wish apps (looking at you Slack and Teams) would stop converting my emoticons into emojis. I want :) not .

edit: HackerNews strips render emoji. It should be this: https://emojipedia.org/smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes/

The radix I've used since birth is easier than the one I haven't. Wild stuff.

80 hours doing what? If you spend 80 hours doing your job, that just becomes the norm.

The equivalent here is your examiner rummaging through your backpack and yelling at you because you stared off into space pondering a hard question.

Well, it's not everyday you're the victim of a terrifying digital pogrom and the only people willing to give you a cable news slot to talk about your horrifying experience is Fox Nows.

I'd bet my bottom dollar this statue avatar blog and Richard Weaver have very similar opinions on jazz and other "degenerate music".
