Comment This is fucking bullshit (Score 1) 56

I use a Windows machine with 16GB and even when Windows claims much of it is free, it still chokes with a bunch of disk activity when I use little used functions even of applications I'm actively using. I conclude that Windows is paging even when it doesn't have to, and then having to reload those pages later. This is sloppy bullshit because they could copy those pages to disk and not actually reallocate until it's necessary.

Many businesses don't care about the people that work for them because they only view them as liabilities, not as assets.

More accurately, zero businesses care about people who work for them, because businesses are legal fictions, which only exist in the legal system. They don't have brains, hearts, or emotions. People who work for them might care, but as the business increases in size, that becomes decreasingly relevant, and once it becomes publicly traded the shareholders can act to remove officers who don't follow the charter. And while corporations aren't legally obligated to maximize profits by default, the charter pretty much always says something about that, as that's why people invest.

A sole proprietor might care about you, and that might even be relevant...

Maybe there will be software jobs in the future after all?

AI may be what gets the industry to start taking security seriously. Most computer systems are designed with security as an afterthought, tacked on at the end. Performance has been the primary selling point. But now that AI makes it feasible to find holes that previously would have required a lot of manpower to exploit, perhaps we will see the focus shift in that direction.
