I dunno, there some necessary context here. I think Requiem for a Dream is a better movie then Iron Man, but I sure as hell wouldn’t pick it as the only movie I’m ever going to watch again.

Has Penny Arcade always been this hideous?

Oh wow. A truely stunning achievement for this small indie studio.

Bethesda can’t even get ladders working in their engine, and y’all were expecting seamless atmospheric re-entry?

Is this an out of season April fools joke?

Alts aren’t throwaway accounts though

Can’t tell if this is damning with faint praise, or just an incredible self own

Down with sprints! Down with weekly retros! Down with scrum masters! Down with burn down charts! Just give me a feature to work on and a tool to track tickets. Everything else can fuck off.

I definitely agree that they do stupid things because of short term gains and narcissism. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they’re just grumpy bosses mad that it’s harder to boss people around.

I also worry though about portraying executives as buffoons. Most of their short term decisions that look stupid make a lot of sense when you look at it through the lense of them just not caring that it makes life worse for other people. It’s honestly probably a combination of a bunch of dumb and greedy things.

Sure, but if everyone who can goes remote, all that rent money dries up. Most also don’t directly own buildings to rent, but rather have investments in companies that do. If those other companies go under then they lose money on investments. I don’t have any inside knowledge though, this is just the conclusion I’ve been able to come to. Other than just being control freaks.

I don’t think there’s some shadowy Illuminati organisation behind it. They are pretty blatent when they manipulate things.

That said, I do think there are a lot of investors and analysts that have come to the same conclusion and are talking to each other and passing info to their clients.

A lot of large companies and executives have investments in real estate. If everyone stopped using offices all of a sudden, they would lost a bunch of money because the space wouldn’t be in demand anymore.

The only sites I can think of that don’t look like they use css are motherfuckingwebsite.com and bjarne stroustrup’s website.

Any site that uses JS for more than trivial things is going to be a disaster without styling of some kind.

This makes absolutely no sense. Front ends that include JavaScript still use css.

They’re going to have to buy me a car and pay for gas and parking before I’ll take a job where I’m full time in the office

We never called if statements AI until the last year or so. It’s all marketing buzz words. It has to be more than just “it makes a decision” to be AI, or else rivers would be AI because they “make a decision” on which path to take to the ocean based on which dirt is in the way.

There’s a difference between “this is AI that could be better!” and “this could one day turn into AI.”

Everyone is calling their algorithms AI because it’s a buzzword that trends well.

None of it is even AI, Predicting desired text output isn’t intelligence

I haven’t looked into kbin much because it was described to me as “you can look at Reddit style posts and twitter style microblogs on one place.”

I fucking hate microblogs.

And?
