Money perverts incentives.

Generally positive attitude

I always leave mine at home so it doesn’t get ruined.

Not ever expression of mental illness has a specific name. There is a DSM used to diagnose common patterns. It would probably be described by combining the names of his diagnosis.

We have no idea how our brain functions.

This isn’t even remotely true.

You should have asked your LLM about it before making such a ridiculous statement.

“1”

Some days this idea feels less true than others.

It’s only takes one person to crack those books and spread them across the high seas and the only way to force authors to abandon Amazon.

There are always people who extra motivated by these challenges. The fact that these are written texts and shown on a screen means there will always be away to scrap the content off even if that involves a camera on a second device.

DRM only hurts customers who want to pay for content.

But no matter how much ketchup I use, I can’t cover up the bitter taste of the TVs lcd panel.

Yeah. That’s too small.

Not enough space for an proper antenna and the battery requirements wouldn’t work plus the thermals the thing would kick off would burn your ear.

The transmission power requirements between Bluetooth and cellular is measured in magnitudes, 3-4 times the power.

The cellular modem and antenna could be fit into the charging case of earbuds but the battery life would still be terrible since most of the case is taken up by the space needed for the ear buds.

I’m not addicted, I can stop whenever I want to!

Why limit it to an electric battery rather than some subterranean storage where the excess electricity is turned into stored heat.

It there was any hope for these being useful that would have integrated with the mobile experience the same way CarPlay did.

These are it a tv screen on a fridge with a channel that is for the fridge, these are all proprietary junk that it’s the antithesis for a smart home because they control it not the home owner.

the hype was to keep track of groceries

Most of my groceries are in the pantry not the fridge. This tech was always for people who have a kitchen that is for show and never used.

This is one of those cases where if I’m saying an hour I mean and hour and will proactively reach out as soon as I realize that hour is wrong.

I get this is meant as a joke about how difficult is it to estimate things, but this isn’t on anyone but me and making sure I am communicating my progress. Anyone who has the title of senior developer and disagrees is senior in name only.

And I post this as there is literally a production issue being discussed because procrastination is always part of my estimates. The troubleshooting revealed it’s not my bug, it’s on that other team’s so I get to wait for them to fix their data and confirm my teams stuff works once the data is correct or I get to fix it live; my favorite but exceedingly rare.

The adrenaline of that is awesome and I question the career choice of anyone who dreads this stuff.

It’s mostly for recycling since garbage is bagged. In my town you’ll get a notice of you recycle things that clog the sorters.

There was more checks when it was by hand. They’d slap on a sticker and refuse pick up. I prefer the nasty gram.

Are there still municipalities that haven’t automated the container pick up part of it? Those trucks have the added benefit of having cameras track what is dumped at each address.

Fuck everything, we’re doing five folds!

Android is not GNU, full stop. It’s not about “enough”. GNU isn’t something one can do partially.

Android is uses some GNU tools but so does Mac OS. Neither are consider GNU.

Even Windows has GNU tools but no one would say it’s not GNU enough.
