Comment SPREAD sheet. (Score 1) 6

not hidden data sheet. All references to calling the output a spreadsheet should be removed from the product. The point used to be all data points spread into one per cell so it is *easy to follow and print out.

* yea I know, that ship has sailed.

Now how does it print the array when someone asks for a 'print out' of those few cells and gets two reams of data listed in 'one cell'.

Comment If you put something on the internet, it stays. (Score 1) 51

If you upload an image, even privately - don't be surprised if it somehow becomes public. This should be the 1st rule of interneting*.

*unfortunately, everyone wants to verify your identity through an upload/video stream. That data can not be put back in the bottle no matter how much they claim your data is safe/protected/deleted; it existed outside your control and that is exactly how much you retain control.

Blaming AI for this shit is just a red herring, the problem has and will always exist until we sheep stop putting our data out there; which won't happen as it is too convenient to sit in mom's basement and run** your digital life.

** almost typed ruin here, which is probably more appropriate.

Comment Sounds like CEO school. (Score 1) 116

Year 1: Learn how to build things on the backs of others, using someone else's money. Then sell it for 100x the actual value.

Year 2: Build the same thing, but use your networked investors (who also use someone else's money) to get to the point of a public IPO so you and your investor network can sell that 100x over valued slop to the public for a profit. At that point you can walk away or keep it going while issuing yourself stock.

Comment Most want to go where there is money. (Score 1) 146

All we hear is AI will kill the career programmer. Most programming now is copy and paste commodity jobs. AI isn't much different.

Real money is in actually doing things, the modern programmer/developer is not it. Notice interest is now moving (back?) towards engineering.

Comment Comic movies now suck. (Score 1) 137

Too many remakes, too many reboots, too many.

Was this original? No, I grew up in the 80s watching the roadrunner and similar cartoons every Saturday morning. But relative to other movies with their comic of the month, it is new material and has that nostalgia that modern comic movies absolutely fail to deliver because they keep remaking and rebooting the same material like the beating of a dead horse.

Comment We had Apples in the computer lab in mid-late 80s. (Score 1) 85

Apple played the long game by getting itself embedded in schools, so that children would grow up and want an Apple; and so that the schools were familiar with Apple and expand with their products.

The odd part is that for actual computing power in the library the school went with IBM. Even then Apple was more about presentation than function of power.

Comment Re: When demand nears peak capacity. (Score 1) 201

Be glad they aren't an oil furnace. Hello annual $390 tune-ups. I honestly don't do it that often, but a gas tune-up is under 100 (so they basically look and say 'yep - it's working') and good old oil is nearly 400 because of a nozzle, strainer, and filter replacement followed by an electrode and flame adjustment??? It's robbery.
