Agreed. Overpaid, sociopathic and overly-powerful schmucks. But still schmucks.

[Begin Soapbox]

1. If your idea of demonstrating your programming creds online is bashing Python for being “too slow”, you’re just revealing that you don’t understand your job as a programmer.
2. A programmer’s job is to figure out a good language to use for the application. Notice I didn’t say, “the best language”; because there isn’t one.
3. Python too slow for your application? Great. Uncheck that box and investigate any of the innumerable other languages out there.
4. There’s not a good language for your application? Some Really Good programmers create their own language. Other Really Good programmers just use assembly for fuck’s sake. If Margaret Hamilton can land people on the Moon in 1969 using 16kB of government hardware, you should be able to code a video game with computers several billion times more powerful. Or just ask ChatGPT to do it for you. I’ve read good things about it online.
5. Never underestimate the utility of just requiring everyone to buy faster hardware to cover up crappy programming/business decisions. It’s been done since the first caveman programmed a computer by striking two transistors together.
6. Most programmers have to make due with what they’re provided with at work. If you’re at work, get back to it and figure out how to solve the problem. That means stop your posing online about “there’s no programming language good enough for my application”. If explaining to your boss that you need a different approach didn’t work, work on your resume instead.

They don’t care about actual user engagement.

“Tell me how you measure me and I will tell you how I will behave. …"

It’s almost as if CEOs are just regular schmucks that fall prey to BS advertising.

Now it is pretty much one line of code.

… and 5kW of GPU time. 😆

The concrete isn’t the problem. Like mentioned above, the sealife growth is. Also, metal and moving mechanicals are savaged by seawater (and the sealife growth). Keeping things working on the surface of the water is difficult and expensive. Water pressure makes that even worse. Maintenance requires divers which are likewise very expensive.

Every time I see these “We’ll do X in/around the ocean” projects I think, “These people have not spent a lot of time near the ocean.”

Is that the Striped RAID I keep hearing about?

He should get that toenail fungus treated. It’s about to go critical.

Friend running latest M4 Max Studio. Studio display configured as main monitor connected to 1st TB5 port. Secondary Dell 4k monitor connected to HDMI.
Latest MacOS thinks the HDMI monitor is on, even when it is powered off. This means that a second Firefox window on screen 2 is unreachable without powering on the second monitor. Would be nice to have a feature that would return all open windows to the active screen(s).
Better yet if there was M-TAB or M-` would show the second window and open it on a screen that is actually on.
Big hassle for multi-monitor setups. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
