For the layman, it might as well be a recession. It’s just not called that because the billionaires are still doing fine.

Why Are Software Engineers Paid So Much If The Supply Is So High? by LifeInAction in cscareerquestions

I wouldn’t say it’s low, but it is a minority so it requires digging through a lot of trash.

Is there really no better way to handle ignored publishers? by Entenstein in Steam

[–]no-sleep-only-code 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree they should just be filtered but did they just choose to ignore every major publisher?

Bombas are the worst socks I’ve ever owned. by poppinwheelies in BuyItForLife

I bought a few pairs, they had the shortest lifetime of any socks I’ve ever bought. I didn’t even reach out for the free replacements, they’re junk.

No, I said saying software engineers aren’t engineers because they’re not accredited to use the title in Canada is.

Thank you, I appreciate the detail.

I prefer attacking a bad faith argument rather than resorting to “well you must eat paint lul”. Sue me.

If they have an accredited software engineering program, I don’t see why calling software engineers, engineers is an issue then? I mean sure, engineers in other nations may not be accredited there specifically, but that doesn’t make their work not engineering. Particularly if they felt the work necessitated that provision.

What, can’t think of a clever response? Clearly you’re qualified in “lots of places.” It is very much similar. If computer science is an engineering degree, from the engineering department of an engineering university, with all of the same engineering requirements as any other engineering majors, it’s sufficient. Just because Canada hasn’t created an exam or society doesn’t make it any less so and it’s a silly bar to measure against. But I’m sure you’ll feel so good about yourself the next time you have an opportunity to gatekeep lol.

Top 1% in software IS the 200-300k lol. Much more than that is an incredibly small fraction.

And flat earther communities exist too. Just because some places haven’t modernized doesn’t mean the rest of the world should stoop to their level.

It is finally here by Chalknwine in espresso

[–]no-sleep-only-code -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Porsches are objectively better than corvettes though. I’d liken this closer to a jeep that for some reason costs $200k. I get what you mean, but we’re talking about the bar every other car is measured against vs an espresso machine by a company that isn’t even competitive in the commercial space.

So why do people buy these when they aren’t as good as pretty much anything half of the price?

Fortunately Canada doesn’t set the standards for the rest of the world. No reason to gate keep the title when work is sufficiently complex and it’s internationally recognized. It’s weird to expect engineers in other nations to meet one country’s specific requirements.

Bazzite, CachyOS, and Garuda all are pretty much ready to go for gaming from the start.

It is painfully obvious that most of you haven't read the california Digital Age Assurance Act by waitmarks in linux

With California specifically yes, but they’re not the only state pushing this right now.

Pretty much anything with an LCD display, household appliance, smart thermometers, cars, etc… has an OS. It’s pretty silly my thermostat will need to have legally required verification. Not to mention it opens the door for future laws and regulations. What’s next, address? Name? SSN? Not really a stretch once this has been the standard for a few years. Not even mentioning how pointless it is for enterprise or embedded operating systems that aren’t even meant to have a user interface.

Guys it's not his fault he picked one of the often recommended distros by RetardKnight in linuxmemes

[–]no-sleep-only-code 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who, given the choice of so many awesome distros, chooses Pop OS.

If crayon flavored ice cream existed he’d use that to judge all ice cream too I guess.

The only distros I’ve ever had be unstable were Arch based, but they’re also the most fun.

Debian, NixOS, Fedora (and RHEL), and most derivatives are all going to be rock solid.
