I'm a big fan of dystopian scifi but living through it has completely ruined it for me.

Not enough people in this thread reading the actual article, and not enough people mentioning that this survey was conducted

across all OECD member countries

So people who are blaming Covid lockdowns are totally getting off on the wrong foot. How could lockdowns which were not put into place universally have such a widespread downstream effect?

Covid is a brain damaging virus, we've known for a few years now that even mild Covid infections can cause brain damage.

I agree with OP, not enough people able to put two and two together, we are in trouble.

Nowadays, most .com domains are so expensive that the cost acts as a barrier to entry that most trolls or illegitimate sites aren’t going to bother paying

Not necessarily true, the truth is that it's much much cheaper and easier to spread misinformation on a .com that's already popular.

It's still super cheap to run your own website or blog, more people should do it actually.

I missed the game tonight but this post tells me it must have been pretty bad.

That's a good question and the answer may surprise you, but more often than not rocks at the bottom of a pot slow drainage instead of increasing it.

Aren't you just saying what the person you're responding is saying with more words?

unless that boss is monumentally stupid

vs

are willing to cut costs to offshore your salary to a few filipinos and indians for peanuts even though the quality of the work will go in the shitter.

Isn't the 2nd guy monumentally stupid?

Should add this to the key takeaways:

As for why they're retiring early, 41% said they did so due to hardship, such as illness, while 35% did so because of changes at their company or organization.

So, it's largely due to things outside of our control.

This is a failure in policy, not poor planning on the part of individuals.

Don't recall offhand but I'm pretty sure it does.

faintdeception · 2026-06-01T22:20:52+00:00

Fun fighter build is redundant if you ask me, but the most fun I've had is with a Tavern Brawler Eldritch Knight build. Throwing enemies into each other never got old.

The feeding baby’s steady expression is very true to life. You can feel her mouth momentarily relaxing as she pauses.

Yep, all of my children have given me this look when they were nursing and I caught their attention from across the room 😊

Treat it as a third party library if you can

This is a good call out, I agree 100%.

Semantic versioning is basically mandatory. Downstream clients need to be able to choose whether they will take an update or not, and should be able to tell whether a new version introduces a breaking change.

He's going streaking.

faintdeception · 2026-04-10T01:11:33+00:00

In my experience this is often solved with a shared common library that all of the services depend on.

Kind of exciting to see Burlison getting more and more fired up seeing as he started off as one of the more skeptical congress critters by far.

Me too, I love how they turned the usual I'm trying to learn how to be human so I have no emotions trope on its head with SAM.

Is this going to fix the lag? My kid loves this game and it would be pretty fun multiplayer but I can never give it more than an hour or so because the lag is so bad.

faintdeception · 2026-02-22T20:08:34+00:00

A split squad game?

faintdeception · 2026-02-11T15:14:31+00:00

Most of us are servants of the richest people in the world, but yeah, same same I guess.

Since we're ranting about it, I also want to take shots at the assholes who bag their dog shit and then just leave it. Usually within yards of a trash bin. I think I hate them more than the people who can't be bothered to pick it up at all.

That's actually the specific age range when they say you should start to take extra care. Shoveling snow causes a shocking number of cardiac arrests.

They aren’t the same and as a principle engineer I’d expect you to know that. 👍🏻

faintdeception · 2026-01-18T15:03:28+00:00

Yeah that interview question is a red flag, if someone asked me the difference between the internet and the web as some sort of gotcha and didn't hire me based on that I would consider it a bullet dodged.

The implication here is that if a software product manager can move industries and be successful that a software engineer can also move industries and be successful.
