When you are dealing with clients however, never draw attention to downsides.

If your goal is to be a bullshit artist, worth little more than whatever crap you're peddling at the moment, absolutely - otherwise this is not good advice. And all you have to do is take thirty seconds to reflect on the last time you humoured someone who was being disingenuous about their value to you.

Done tactfully, being up-front about deficiencies can make the difference between being seen as a trusted advisor or another self-interested parasite.

and it's a quick way to identify those who can't.

careful out there!

fuck off

Clearance, Clarance.

• I'm quite confident that, more often than not, women face greater challenges than men.
• This post is fucking weird.

Interesting, I started reading it in his voice before I was even sure that's what you were doing.

Speaking of Nazis, we don't use apostrophes to pluralize words.

Does TV have game scene / picture mode? On mine that is more than just different colour settings, it cuts the delay significantly. Also ensure all motion smoothing / interstitial frame generation bullshit is disabled.

Unless you're using a NUC or similar, M.2 is the worst form factor - and consumer grade drives are all shit. If you're in the market for storage I'd recommend looking at used enterprise U.2 drives in the 0.5-1 DWPD range. Adapters (PCIe or M.2 to U.2) are super cheap.

Edit: 12.8TB is gonna be a stretch, obviously, but even Solidigm TLC drives are quite a bit better than any consumer grade drives and I've seen some of the 7TB models go for surprisingly cheap.

I suppose, but I'd argue that in your case the deficiencies are even more obnoxious: modifying a template should require deliberate effort on your part, with the default save action automatically creating and switching to a new file - otherwise why even have template filetypes?

"Easily solvable" is an understatement, though. Autosave should maintain parity with the undo buffer, and manual saves should be pointers to a specific point in time, like tags. The only way this gets complex is branching - if you go back in time and start making changes from there, do we just prune it, do we allow the user to go back and undo undo, or, if we have something decidedly less fucking garbage than MS Word, do we facilitate merging?

Same 80s experience. The idea that someone would argue or even think that software should still behave as it did back then is mind-blowing. None of the resource constraints of that era are even remotely relevant today, but we are still dysfunctional meat. There is no good reason for a word processor to not automatically save work by default - and unless someone is working with a lot of large images, even persistence of the full undo stack is not a tall order.

I wouldn't trade it for anything, but yes, "super tiring" is basically my existence, and mindfulness is always the answer. That sound that makes me instantly acute stress response? The neighbours probably aren't as angry as they seem getting out of their car. Breathe.

Interesting, I attribute my own abilities to trauma.

The bar is so low that that's almost not tautological.

...and that's ok.

:/

Thank you, this is what I needed to feel ok about tomorrow.

Cool, but I said 'when'.
