Throttling everyone equally during times of congestion is also fair in its own way. I’d be okay with that.

When limiting is required, because many people are using the same network, limiting those who have already used the most seems fair.

Your comment might cause me to do something. You’re responsible. I don’t care what the legal definitions say.

If we don’t care about legal definitions, then how do we know you didn’t cause all this?

Epic vs Google turned out a lot different than Epic vs Apple.

Also, Epic vs Google was decided by jury.

I haven’t written any Java since Java 6. This makes me so happy to hear.

What about XML, and XML based configs? Is the Java ecosystem still obsessed with XML?

I remember I was once trying to learn Hibernate. After finding what I thought looked like the best tutorial, I skimmed through it and there was literally no Java code in the tutorial about a Java library! It was all XML! I never could understand it, but this was early in my career, maybe I could handle it now, maybe not.

I don’t know. That’s what I was saying. I can’t possibly imagine what I could say to help someone understand that error message.

😉

If you can’t understand that error message then I don’t know what to tell you.

We’re seeing more and more that our “free market” with its “competition” doesn’t provide goods and services that most people want, which makes me wonder, why have free markets and competition?

At least C++ build tools are easier than modern JS.

There’s also websites hosted in countries that don’t care about US law. We can access those even without a VPN, for now…

Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.

Careful, the 100,000 kg of pizza will turn into manure.

Programmer pay is so bizarre, it makes me cynical about our entire economy.

If I’m a blue-collar worker maintaining the wires between banks, I get paid little. If I’m a programmer maintaining the banking software that controls everyone’s money and is essential to the entire nation, I’m paid a little more, but not as much as some programmers.

If I’m a young man who creates a webpage that barely works venture capitalists are tripping over themselves trying to shove millions of dollars into my hands.

(Although, creating a webpage was the hot thing last decade, now the hot thing is creating an AI.)

In times past they got shit done, and now we see that what they’ve done is shit and we’re stuck maintaining it.

I like to put my estimates in writing somehow.

“My initial and unbiased estimate is 3 months.” Put it in an email, nothing will ever change the fact that my initial estimate was 3 months.

We should measure size of files/storage as a function of how many standardized png’s of an american flag would fit in the same amount of space.

Fixed it, I will not be oppressed by your standards

To become a real programmer, you must install Copilot and let it copy and paste for you.
