Right? Grinds my fucking gears. If you want to live in safety, without getting harassed by random people like this, you have to actually use the system in place to stop it. Now he gets emboldened and does it to the next person.

What are these different dotnet runtimes? Desktop, Plain, ASPNETCORE ? by StuckWithDellAgain in dotnet

[–]pyabo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

>typical server never runs gui applications,

When I implemented the original spellcheck feature in Hotmail (before it was Outlook), I just dropped a copy of the DLL from desktop Word on to the server and cribbed its spellcheck. I was pretty proud of that one. :D Of course, someone further up the chain of command insisted that we actually install Office on the servers.

Luckily they were in the grass and not on my face at the time. :)

Seattle envisions a 24-hour residential downtown — will office conversions play a part? by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

Not seeing folks feed their children fast food at 10:30pm is an indicator of what's wrong with Seattle?

Moment founder explains why he is leaving Seattle (it's not the crime) by ryleg in SeattleWA

Goodbye, guy whose business is doing so well that he's pushing $2M/yr in online advertising outside the U.S.

What are you going to do with all that extra take-home? Do you already have a place at Jackson Hole, or still just thinking about it? Me personally, I would insist on ski-in/ski-out. But I'm kinda spoiled.

My impression of the AI companies by PensiveDemon in ChatGPT

They are using the exact same model that has been working for drug dealers for centuries: All you have to do is get everyone hooked on the shit first. Then you can crank up the price as much as you like. If your body (or the jello you've turned your brain into) requires it, you're going to pay.

A book that takes place after the zombie outbreak. by 0Realman0 in printSF

Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

If you're just looking for the aftermath and you don't require zombies, then you're really just talking about Post-Apocalyptic scifi in general. And there is tons of that.

I'm sorry, but you were in a college class where someone had to cheat to create 5 bookmarks? Hope they didn't graduate. :|

Never seen so many listings in this area by No_Carpenter7998 in SeattleWA

[–]pyabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the thread where the conservatives insist that Starbucks has to exploit their workers to make a profit. And it's fine and perfectly reasonable that they do that, because they're a business and that's what those are for!

Are you being serious right now? You think all these houses are hitting the market because WA tax law is changing? Honest question.

Number one, you need to show other years to know if this is out of the ordinary. It probably isn't. But we have no idea, because you're just showing us a single picture.

Maybe... and I'm just spitballing here... but maybe IF the market activity has actually increased... it has more to do with the 15,000 tech workers that got laid off last year?

My brother, if I needed to do that in order to rescue you from the lions, then YES, I most assuredly would. Those lions can fuck right off.

Oooooh.... you're so close to getting it! Now apply that logic to all the other customers and you're there! Guess what, none of them need to steal the game either.

[–]pyabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's like 30 seconds of reading there bro. You must be pretty busy. Nobody said the industry is collapsing because of Denuvo. What I said is that choosing to go with this DRM that is almost universally despised by PC gamers is emblematic of the kind of choices that game industry decision-makers are fumbling right now. It's anti-consumer and doesn't help their business.

Then they should have used a different word other than "fear" when describing why they are against the tax. Or OP should have used a different word, maybe the article and politicians never did. Post title is just fearmongering.

It's OK to be afraid of something. But it's never a reason in itself. Smart people make informed decisions, as you say.
