  • We can’t rely on the assholes running these site to ban pedophiles. They’d endorse a pedophile president if they thought it would give them less taxes/regulations.

    This is a prudent move, we’ve only seen the very beginnings if the sorts of indoctrination and manipulation our kids might be subjected to.

    Never thought I’d sound this way, but i can no longer ignore reality.





  • Some easy tasks involve pumping out mounds of code/commits, some tasks involve monumental amounts of inter-department cooperation or design discussions with open source communities online or at yearly conferences and result in relatively small amounts of code especially in terms of LOC/day.

    This study purports to take this into account to some degree but i call bullshit. I can barely explain this level of nuance to anyone above my first-line manager everyone else is just like what’s taking so long can we throw an intern on it to speed things up? and its like sure… after you hire them full-time and spend the next couple years training them. Oh you want me to do it that too?

    The whole tone of this “researcher” makes the bias so clear but I’m sure we’ll have all kinds of fancy new monitoring and lay-offs of good people thanks to these sorts of bullshit metrics.

    If you want to know whether employees are a waste of space or not, hire good fucking managers that know what they are doing. If they farm that out to tools like this, it’s a good sign they don’t.





  • I randomly decided to upgrade from a 3700x to a 5700x just after the price dropped to $130 (😮)

    Nice, painless, cheap upgrade…

    Unfortunately…the bios upgrade needed for my Gigabyte x370 board just flat out doesn’t boot so i had to revert it…

    So then i was like fuck it I’ll get a 5000x-ready x570 board…

    But then it’s like hmmm…i can do DDR4-3600 on these boards… might as well get a couple Trident Z Neo sticks…

    And hmm… this board does PCI 4.0 NVME… might as well splurge for a Samsung 980 Pro…

    And now I’m wondering whether to get a new PSU so i can do a second PC with the spare parts… and scoping out GPU deals because I’m already in too deep at this point…

    So now my office is starting to look like a budget version of this post 😅
