I had 2 interventions in my life and neither worked. In fact, they made it much worse for me.

I suggest that you go to AlAnon and learn a bit about alcoholism before trying anything (btw, AlAnon is not AA, but is a program to help non-alcoholics understand what they're dealing with.)

Your friend is lucky to have you. Don't give up on them. It truly is hellish, and they'll need your support.

Did you,... hrm,... did you even take classes about this stuff. Ffs, this is why this career pays well: you have to understand complicated things.

Maybe your issue is with Windows. I suggest moving away from that platform.

Dynamic libraries are essential to computing, and allow us to partition out pieces of the code. One giant library would have to be recompiled with every change.

RISC-V will supercede it. ARM became quite a nasty company in its later years.

Oh well, good riddance.

I just want a chip manufacturer that isn't gonna bug my home! Hopefully someone comes along, takes the RISC-V specs, and makes a truly open-source chip!

Why have a law about it if you never intend to use said law?

Agreed. Sorry. I often hear this kind of stuff IRL from my relatives, so I might be prejudiced.

People bragging about their kids is irritating. However, I hope the girl ends up being a Linux guru :-)

No one is mentioning upper management and CEO's pay. The money is trickling up, and that's more of a problem than all of the other factors combined.

Yay! Glad they finally put this to rest. I was hopeful but extremely pessimistic about it, and now we know.

It's so cool to me how many specialists we have around the world, like Jain (the copper-sulfide expert). That's such a very specific thing to be an expert about.

In my work in devops with a start-up, I'm expected to know a bit about everything. I'm a bit jealous of Jain's extremely narrow focus, lol.

Isn't... isn't everything happening at the speed of time?

No, not everybody hates ads. Everybody hates today's ads, because they're literally as intrusive and annoying as the designers can make them. I didn't have a problem with ads 15 years ago, but because I have to pay for my bandwidth, and because ads like to literally block what I'm reading with a giant, 100MB, unskippable video, I use an ad blocker.

Advertising shot itself in the foot, and it isn't our fault for being pushed so far that we're fed up with it.

Codependency. It's okay to not be in a relationship.

Home-grown fruit, like tomatoes (and especially strawberries!) are, like, an entirely different fruit than store-bought. They are SO freaking good! It is like opening Pandora's Box, because you'll never enjoy store-bought again.

Seems like at least 50000 people disagree with your assessment.
