When it was just SO I think… if my memory serves. When it was small enough that only a (relative) few programmers were using it and generally behaving well.
It’s 17 years old, so probably only in the first 2 or 3 years. 2010 is when it got VC funding and is probably when it started to got to crap.
LLM’s won’t be helping but SE/SO have been fully enshitifying themselves for years.
It was amazing in the early days.
sense of sharing media is that strong?
Essentially yes. Though ‘sticking it’ to the Disney’s of the world (and their regulatory capture of governments) is also motivating.
Spending those trillions was the point, that it bought the world’s most powerful military was a bonus.
The above passage, for example, comes from Game Feel, a game design guide written by Steve Swink.
Steve Swink (and his editors) needs to be forced fed a copy of his book.
Being able to design games doesn’t mean one can write about designing games.
Yeah, that happened way before the current AI slop bubble.
OK. Science time. Somewhat arbitrary values used, the point is there is a amortization calculation, you’ll need to calculate your own with accurate input values.
A PC drawing 100W 24/7 uses 877 kWh@0.15 $131.49 per year.
A NAS drawing 25W 24/7 uses 219 kWh@0.15 $32.87 per year
So, in this hypothetical case you “save” about $100/year on power costs running the NAS.
Assuming a capacity equivalent NAS might cost $1200 then you’re better off using the PC you have rather than buying a NAS for 12 years.
This ignores that the heat generated by the devices is desirable in winter so the higher heat output option has additional utility.
Give up, it’s all just entertainment for me, so i can just go and be entertained by something else.
Turks buying Greek cheese? A feta worse than death!
What’s the opposite of eating The Onion?
It’s Xitter, pronounced as “sh”.
You’re describing a backlog.
Debt is the stuff that never gets if the backlog.
It is only ever a negative. It’s just that sometimes some other factor is worse, maybe time-to-market is far more important in some case.
Cost $70b?
Sounds like it was a good investment for the profiteering recipients of that $70b.
nothing you said contradicts my assertion
Technically correct! The best kind of correct.
I don’t think it’s quite that Captain Planet.
The ruling elite in the US are all several generations down the line of nepotism. None of them have ever had to experience consequences, nor learn a lesson, they are just stupid rich people who think they’re rich on their own merits.
There are a few very rich very evil people who are playing them like puppets though and they’re too stupid to notice.
Oh, wait that is pretty Captain Planet.
“Look what you’re making me do”
Immich, but a separated library.
You’re operating under the assumption that Trump’s changed his mind.
When it is far more likely that he’s recently just read that on a slip of paper (and probably misunderstood it), so it’s just the crap on the top of the stack of crap in his mind and it pops off first.
There’s quite a long convoluted history to key names. In the early days there were META1…META4… which were typically assigned to SHIFT, CONTROL, ALTERNATE, COMMAND, OPTION, [OS NAME], and others.
