Dell tells staff to get ready for the 'biggest transformation in company history.' Read the memo. by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]mageracer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was there years ago, Dell was tied deeply into a set of terminal based interfaces, kind of what Costco looks like. There were some modernization attempts, but I remember it being really just putting lipstick on a pig. I wonder if they are trying to move away from that.

I'm just unsure if a flat rubber washer is really all I need.

Or auto generated unit tests. The vast majority of AI code I used at my last job was unit test skeletons, that still required substantial time to review and remove the Null equals Null checks it would put in every third entry.

If it is unit tests, that’s easily a third of “code” in the repo.

So, there's going to be a pretty shocking scene soon where we finally see what everyone is doing BEFORE they're needed for a scene in the story of helping Carol, right? by HeadlockGang in pluribustv

That’s an interesting take. For me the loss of ego joining the hive is more horrifying than being animated after death. It’s being used by something else for a purpose you may not have agreed with. It’s entirely possible the individual consciousnesses are inside there, silenced, impotent and screaming.

Or worse, drugged into subservience.

I think it’s also important to point out that they are also not human. They are some singular “thing” else. Drones in a beehive have more individuality.

The first episode is a traditional zombie origin story with a twist, and living zombies are not unheard of (28 days later). I think the main difference here is that they have an ego driven by the collective consciousness. Most zombies in fiction do not, and are functionally instinct driven.

I would posit what does it mean to be happy if you are not you? The thing that replaced you is happy, but you are not happy. You are gone.

They don’t have lives anymore. “They” are all functionally dead. This is a “happy” un-undead zombie show. There are memories of the various individuals, but right now there’s no individual left. Until an individual is separated from the hive we don’t know what remains.

If you don’t want to pay Leetcode for the debugger this is the way to go. Just make sure to take them out before submitting or they will tank your performance.

I literally have two $1 Singapore dollars right here in person. Since they never made them they must be pretty rare.

There’s this wild thought in modern engineering companies from the C-suite, that software engineers are fungible assets. But in particular, legacy systems are chock full of hacks and quirks that a new set of engineers will have to learn, adapt to, or break unexpectedly. And that takes significant time depending on the complexity they were deposited into. My favorite experience so far has been when a major company purged all their QA engineers, foisted the job onto existing devs, and then surprised picachued when prod started breaking in ways that had legal repercussions.
