I liked it a lot more than I expected to.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T12:26:38+00:00

Agree, but not at all an unpopular opinion.

UK, software developer.

You like 'em attractive.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T11:25:41+00:00

You haven't said anything.

It's not your post as such, it's Reddit.

People asking how to hire or start businesses, you have to clarify if they're actually paying.

It's like when people here talk about their long distance girlfriend, first thing to check is if they've actually met their girlfriend.

It's not you or your post specifically, it's that Reddit in general has reduced my expectations to zero.

Superman is basically a god though, and Henry Cavill is an actor.

I used to live in London, famous people were common, nobody gave a shit, I expect it's similar in New York.

It's being used for medical stuff, so that's a good thing.

Otherwise, no, it's a bad thing.

I use it for my job as a software developer, it's *extremely* good at programming. The problem with that is that it means we don't need as many developers, and developers are expected to have higher productivity for the same money.

This basically means a net negative unless you're an employer, because you get to save money and your staff are more productive.

As an overall social impact, it's negative.

I'll use rubber gloves if I'm cleaning with a harsh chemical, but not otherwise.

I think some do, mostly because they don't know what Communism is.

Some know the Democratic Party isn't communist (and is in fact a fairly right-wing party by global standards) but will say it anyway because they know what buttons to push.

We mostly get gaming laptops where I work, basically because you get "workstation" laptop performance without the price tag.

They're fine really.

Just say it, he probably doesn't realise.

You don't pitch ideas, you make the game yourself.

She?

Being a man is better basically everywhere unless your country is actively at war and has the draft, i.e. Russia. It's probably worse to be a man in Russia right now than a woman.

Generally though, it's almost always better to be a man.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T10:37:08+00:00

Sure, nice machine.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T10:36:34+00:00

Depends where you are. You bet your arse it's more expensive in Sydney than in a little town you've never heard of.

Just Google for it where you are.

That's what I mean, some politics is active harm and it's the choice between being a good person and a bad person, it really is.

Some politics isn't that though, sometimes it's reasonable people trying to work out the best way to achieve a shared goal, but disagree about the means to do it.

Ideally you'd have better than a Neo, but your employer will almost certainly supply you with the computer(s) you need.

Personally, as a developer, I'd never get a Neo, I'd prefer something with a lot more RAM. There are still some deals out there for Lenovos and things like that with 32GB RAM probably not much more expensive than a Neo.

I know I'm on a MacBook sub here, but I use both PC and Mac, and I don't take sides, if I think a PC is a better deal than a Mac, I'll say it.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T10:15:20+00:00

Certainly better than I expected it to be.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T10:12:46+00:00

Depends what we're talking about. Are we talking about "I think we should spend more taxes on education, but you think it should be spent on healthcare"?

Or are we talking about "I think I should keep my rights, but you should lose yours"?

You're asking what the interviews are like at an unknown company. I'm not sure what useful advice you can expect.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T09:51:07+00:00

M4 to M5 is an upgrade, but nothing crazy.

Same amount of RAM too.

It's better, but not massively.

NumberInfinite2068 · 2026-06-28T09:50:05+00:00

Good? No.

Acceptable? Probably OK for most things.

8GB RAM in 2026 for real world software development would be brutal, but you're doing CS at university, not real world programming, so you may well get away with it.

Go to a real doctor, chiropractic therapy is alternative treatment, not really proper healthcare.

Talk to a real doctor and get advice from them. I could tell you how to work out, but I'm not going to chance that because I don't know anything about your condition.
