Ban engagement driven algorithms!

I wonder what the white houses april fools joke will be. Probably something along the lines of “We’re sending humanitarian aid to Myanmar” or something tone-deaf like that

x 3 + 3 obviously.

Rule number 1 of international law is that it is not a set of laws, but a set of agreements that don’t have the power of law.

He’ll be shocked about how he ended up looking like a bathroom wall. Maybe a nice light beige/yellow-brown, which is the color of natural rubber?

I laughed way too hard at this. Thanks for brightening my day

Strongly depends on the company. I have done this exact thing several times when something was critical and it was actually noted as one of the reasons they told me as to why I got my last promotion. Something like “staying focused on the issue at hand while respectfully managing the pushback from the business while still moving ahead with the urgent fix.”

Basically I told the business to shove it in a very polite way and fixed the issue.

That’s about 10x more than I have ever paid for a gpu and will ever pay for a gpu. Who tf buys this at hose prices? You can go on a 3 month vacation to Thailand for that kind of money.

I thought they were dropping the tpm requirement. I even have a W11 iso at work that doesn’t have it, provided by an official Microsoft partner.

Sam Altman is full of shit? Nooooooooooo

Seriously, he had the worst heils. He would just flop his front arm up.

It’s not immune to it. If you are looking for something highly specific you will get slob for sure. To give an actual example, a buddy of mine told me that the walls of your house act like a sponge when you have the outer walls insulated but not the basement walls on the outside, at least against water. So I went looking on kagi for stuff to back that up (not that I didn’t believe him, I just wanted to know more). A lot of the results were completely ai generated crap websites. There were good and somewhat relevant results, but in the end I gave up (also because we got confirmation that it’s done on our house, so it became irrelevant).

Almost none so not zero?

I just pay whatever they ask without fishing for a discount. When they offer a discount I tell them that’s really not necessary and I’m happy to pay full price. But if they keep insisting, I will take the discount, not going to argue over that.

I disagree with the paying more, that could well be interpreted as offensive, as it makes it seem they need a handout. Just let them set the price and don’t beg/demand/fish for a discount.

I used to play Tetrinet or Blocktrix as it was later called. Man, I miss that game, but last I checked the servers were all empty :(

I don’t really like Gnome as I like to tinker with everything, so I use KDE. I also have a laptop with Cinnamon, which is also pretty good.

Pretty sure any pastry chef will strongly disagree with that. If anything, baking is the cooking activity most akin to an exact science. The amounts need to be carefully measured, the temperatures need to be exactly right (e.g. Italian merengue), the baking time needs to be correct to the second for some dishes (lava cake).

Yes, the measures can change based on the flour or its substitutes (ground pistachio for example), but the processes involved require an equal amount of precision.

A lot of chefs call cooking an art, but baking a science.

I agree it was the best in the series. I never quite enjoyed the later gta games as much as the unbridled fun of gta 2.

Your manager can go suck a dick. They are absolutely worth it and worth the out of pocket expense for the exam. The long term benefits (it looks very good on a cv) are absolutely beneficial to your career, not to mention you will learn relevant stuff in the process.

That last statement is absolutely true. My first 5-6 years in IT I kind of languished, because there were very few people around me that made an effort or pushed me to get better or just explained stuff to me. Then I got a call from a recruiter for a system engineer position. While I didn’t get that job, it did lead me to quit my job to go find something better. I then did find an IT system engineer job where I had a great mentor, support and incentives to get IT certificates. I wasn’t there for long due to personal circumstances, but that really launched my career and I’ve been getting better and higher paid jobs since.
