As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

They don’t even have a different God, unless you’re talking Mammon.

All Abrahamic religions have the same god. Allah = Yahweh = God.

I mean he specifically said prison labor for the “wellness” farms - like prisons don’t have inmates do hard labor on farms (I’m looking at you Louisiana with your fucking slave plantation prisons).

The idea of a place where you have to work the fields and aren’t allowed access to the outside world is a reeducation camp. He’s saying “you go there voluntarily”… Instead of a standard prison, which Republicans have done everything they can to make as harrowing a place as possible.

Go to reeducation gulag or go rot in a hole isn’t much of a choice, even if we smear it with the fecal veneer of “wellness culture”

Edit: cause some jackass is implying I’m a bot - I should have joined a union and a union would’ve protected me from the mass layoff in '23 but that doesn’t change that while there I never thought about needing a union because it was such a nice place otherwise.

As someone who previously worked at Google - they didn’t have any antiunion propaganda.

They just, like, paid well, had top tier benefits, great perks, and had a good work life balance.

If you want devs to make apps without any monetization you’re limiting the number of devs that will develop for your platform.

Free only means you only allow passion projects that people work on as a side project or only the developers rich enough to have retired already.

Nobody who is struggling to get by can spend all their time developing a free app that has 0 monetization.

So they monetize on Google Play.

If you care about breaking Google’s control of Android you should cheer on another paid marketplace, especially one out of the clutches of Amazon.

It’s how big orgs like Google do it, sure. Working there I had 192gb of ram on my cloudtop.

That’s not exactly reducing the total spend on dev ram though - quite the opposite. It’s getting more ram than you can fit in a device available to the devs.

But you can’t have it both ways: you can’t bitch and moan about “always on internet connections” and simultaneously push for an always on internet connected IDE to do your builds.

I want to be able to work offline whenever I need to. That’s not possible if my resource starved terminal requires an Internet connection to run.

Ram is dirt cheap and only getting cheaper.

It’d be nice to have that - yeah. My company issued me a laptop that only had 16gb of RAM to try and build Android projects.

Idk if you know Gradle builds but a multi module project regularly consumes 20+GB of ram during a build. Despite the cost difference being paid for in productivity gains within a month it took 6 months and a lot of fighting to get a 32gb laptop.

My builds immediately went from 8-15 minutes down to 1-4.

Last time I checked - your personal computer wasn’t a company cost.

Until it is nothing changes - and to be totally frank the last thing I want is to be on a corporate machine at home.

Resources are just way cheaper than developers.

It’s a lot cheaper to have double the ram than it is to pay for someone to optimize your code.

And if you’re working with code that requires that serious of resource optimization you’ll invariably end up with low level code libraries that are hard to maintain.

… But fuck the Always on internet connection and DRM for sure.

Headline should be: copper cheaper than you thought

Cocoa being more expensive might be better paid workers and better living standards right?

This article is bullshit: they’re reporting that a blueprint was made. No demonstration, no proof of it working.

Rotary detonation isn’t a new concept and GE has demonstrated a rotary detonation scramjet for 0 - Mach 5.

https://www.geaerospace.com/press-release/other-news-information/ge-aerospace-demonstrates-hypersonic-dual-mode-ramjet-rotating

If you really think that 0 to Mach 16 is within reach with current technology RDEs I have a bridge to sell you.

Darpa has all the money of God and they’ve been throwing billions at the exact problem of rotary detonation. Everybody knows that detonation is more fuel efficient than deflagration and that turbine engines are holding jet aircraft back from hypersonic flight.

When they make a Mach 16 demonstrator I’ll believe them. Until then I’m still very excited for the demonstrated and actual capabilities of RDE Scramjets.

11 years? Nevermind use the laptop for sure haha

You’ll probably save money in the long run using a pi.

Friendly reminder that your predictive text, while very compelling, is not alive.

It’s not a mind.

I’ve never replaced an led bulb and I’ve had them 10+ years.

Dirty power can burn them out, as can bad heat dissipation

I had a neighbor in Paris who would knock on our door and tell us to turn off the wi-fi because he was allergic.

To wifi.

Microwaves. It’s microwaves.

Phones are slightly above FM radio and slightly below microwaves in terms of wavelength.

They’re a non-ionizing radiation emitter.

The radiation emitted by phones ain’t gonna hurt ya.
