Ah, ok. What a strange default. Almost makes me think they chose that as the default to be rage bait

The fairness meter at the bottom of the article is absurd. “Unfair left leaning” like yes, how dare the libtards use statistics to show how broken our economy is

Surely there’s some sort of sandboxing that could be done? Like start by disallowing sys calls entirely

For the ones that have hazing rituals, pecking orders, and 80+ active members, yeah I agree with you.

I joined a small (~20 active members) STEM major fraternity and it was incredible. No one took it too seriously and it was just treated like a social club, which is all a fraternity is really supposed to be. It was a great way to quickly meet people with shared interests, which yeah, you don’t need a fraternity to do that, but it made things much easier for introverted, socially anxious me. Plus, STEM majors aren’t exactly the type to chat with people next to them before lecture

Man, I love Louis but your complaint about rambling is so valid. It only caters to the people who already agree with him and scares away people who would otherwise be convinced by the same points delivered in a better manner

Edit: since the other summaries aren’t really helpful imo, Louis is saying that Clippy is representative of a time when Microsoft software worked perfectly fine without an internet connection and served to simply help you get work done instead of use you as a revenue source

I’ve been a software engineer for almost 10 years now and lately, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to doing something else. I went into the field because coding and computing in general are genuine passions of mine but I find it difficult to be the code mill I’m expected to be, especially when getting work done quickly is prioritized over getting it done correctly. I also feel like most of the coworkers I’ve had over the years don’t have any genuine interest or intrinsic motivation, and are just in it because it pays well - which I don’t fault them for, especially in the current economy, but they’re much more likely to put up with being treated like shit.

I just don’t know what else I would do. Teaching high school CS seems fun but I’m pretty sure making that transition would take a couple years, since I gotta get a teaching degree and be a student teacher and all that, and I’m not sure I have the patience for that
