If Astra manages to genocide journal publishing I'd instantly consider it the crowning achievement of tech

Couple days late responding, but this is precisely what happened to my mom. It's like your whole paragraph was written about us.

I got diagnosed super late in life and I'm currently enjoying the fun cessation phase of said medication. Calmness is not the word I would use to describe it, but I'm glad it works for other people. Couldn't pay me a million dollars to take another pill, I'll just procrastinate and get bored often

I helped my mother go through this after her psych decided it was time for her to cold turkey a 4x a day xanax prescription she'd been taking for 20+ years. 5 total ER trips, 3 separate hospitalizations, and a full year of absolute misery before she started getting some relief. A YEAR.

I have watched family members die of AIDS, cancer, and Alzheimers. I have myself recovered from alcoholism (5 years next month!). Nothing in all my life has ever held a candle to how hellish Benzo withdrawal is. These drugs need to be banned. Period.

Unhappy to confirm this one. All the experience in the world is useless when the applicants-to-jobs ratio is 2000:1

And we're all just supposed to suck up the fact that our chosen career morphed into "Babysit a machine" no matter what it is? What a swell timeline

Almost exact same experience here, but I'm using Opencode's $10/month sub. It's perma set to DS 4.1 flash and I have anywhere from 3-5 agents going at a time. Never once hit a cap of any sort. I have absolutely no idea why people would be paying $200/mo when you can get perfectly good AI for $10 from multiple places

Dark Reader's slowness primarily stems from its auto-detection of pages that need darkening. If you turn that off and manually enable it on pages that need it, it doesn't feel any slower than anything else

It's also extraordinarily easy and discreet to grow cubensis shrooms. The age of buying awesome RCs online are OVER, there's nothing left but horrible, horrible chemicals. Do not go there

They absolutely understood exactly what they were doing. They're stupid, but they're not STUPID. Don't let them excuse malice by faking incompetence

They ARE needed in their home country, that's why they're here. The fact is simply that the best way to help their family is to make American money

As somebody else with a game engine that has its own scripting language:

AI is incredibly good at making scripting languages with your ideal dream syntax/functionality. It's pretty fun to use it.

(No, neither my engine nor my language is worth using and never will be)

Do you have some evidence of that? I use both daily and my experience has been the opposite, if anything. Once I was as proficient at Rust as I was at Go, the "increased development and maintenance time" disappeared completely.

The funniest part of this is that you're paying to still see 10% of the ads. I use Firefox and see 0% of the ads for free

When I got laid off because of it.

This is the most elegant and polite refutation of age verification I've ever seen

I'll heartily second this. After years of Unity, I just couldn't stand the developer experience any more. Waiting for iterative compiles that took an ice age each time I changed a line of code killed me. Angelscript UE is as close to engine perfection as I can imagine

This is horrifying. Everyone should be horrified.

B is exactly how I've felt about, in order: C, C++, Java, C#, Javascript. I spent almost 20 years writing languages I did not like because I couldn't find jobs in anything else.

Rust saved some of us from a lifetime of exactly the problems you have with Rust, maybe let us have this one :)

Woodworking, blacksmithing, gardening, etc

Things that don't take computers to create

Never tried it on AMD hardware, but I can confirm Nvidia drivers cause it to go haywire on all 4 of my machines. I try yearly or so, see everything's still a dumpster fire, and head back to X11

This has been my every experience with Wayland + Nvidia thus far. Tried Tumbleweed and Fedora both, nothing but display bugs as far as the eye can see.

Lets not even talk about trying to use Wayland in a VM desktop -- Even Firefox/Chrome don't render properly.

This is the correct answer for sure. I managed an LMS department for years and you nailed it.

I'd also like to add that most education IT departments tend not to have many people capable of building or maintaining something as complex as an LMS. That means you'd need to hire at least a couple new software devs at software dev salaries and software dev benefits to keep them...which ends up costing MORE per year than it costs to shove 99% of the problem off onto Blackboard support and remove a large source of risk while saving money.

How do you become one of those kind instead of smashing your face against CORS constantly
