I may be recalling incorrectly, but I thought that was illegal in the U.K (as well as in the U.S interestingly).

Those who think, whether erroneously or correctly, that more cores = more tasks that can run concurrently without needing to fight for CPU time, and greater granularity in being able to divide up tasks that can be parallelized?

What do you mean "discover the price?" Pardon me if I'm being a little slow...

Scalpers who use bots, at the least, are far from a "fair market" component.

Jeez, Dragon, who took an upper decker in your coffee maker this morning?

IDK about salespeople - at least competent ones. These ilk asking for 12h/6d seem more like retards of the executive kind, IMO.

... but how do they come to the conclusion, what methods and tools do they do? I guess part of me is jaded by the continual debates over something being AI or not on other platforms often fueled by "AI checkers" whose accuracy range from dubious to dogshit at best.

Why should the focus be shifted away entirely from the people, you know, actually making the things shittier?

I am not following. How is that at all significant? (and 300MB for a calculator is still pretty nuts)

Why should how rarely or not an application is used (which can be subjective) distract from the issue that the article poste is trying (albeit clumsily) to raise?

Absolutes like this ABSOLUTELY warrant a "citation needed" response.

Honestly, I just had a "I have thoughts, let me spit them out without thinking" moment with this post - unnecessary complexity (piles of dependencies, frameworks, etc) absolutely IS a big part of the problem.

This attitude, IMO, is a huge part of the fucking problem in the first place.

Software development needs to slow the hell down, to allow development to happen properly - resources need o be given so developers can take a machine and do what it needs to - no more, or less.

We need to stop shifting the blamer on costs (it's a bullshit excuse IMO; not WANTING to spend the resources, time and money to allow quality to shine =/= being unable to).

We need to stop blaming complexity when we don't give developers the time and space needed to explore that complexity and work with it.

Companies need to learn that gaining X amount of money slower than before is not only still earning X amount, but more worthwhile because the issues (and thus costs of dealing with them after) will be better mitigated,

So much in this fucking industry needs to change if software quality is to improve.

I'm not sorry; that's the most retarded thing I've heard today.

Work is called work because it's a job that needs doing. Period. Tasks need being done, the person is paid to get them done. You don't need to trade your mental and physical well being to get it done.
