Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday’s debate in sharply different ways
  • At this point, as a non american, i just cannot comprehend at all why people would doubt on who to vote. Trump fanatics have made up their mind and will never vote Harris, I get that. If you dont like trump, there's only one other option and that's Harris, right?

    But is there really a big group of people that actually STILL need to compare candidates and think "not so fast, that trump guy may have a point". What makes them think he is a sane choice? Are these people that voted biden, are disappointed in his presidency and now think "it was better under trump"?

    It's not like European countries where you need to choose between like 10 different parties. If you dont like trump, you vote harris; simple as that, right? (Obviously not, so I really want to understand the dynamic in play here)

  • If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe
  • Ask any professional senior software developer if they ever maintained an existing or new codebase and made the mistake of thinking "oh easy! it's just a matter of doing this or that and changing a couple of small things. Won't take longer than <small amount of time>. " Then ask them how long it really took.

    Post results here for our amusement :)

  • Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools
  • Absolutely my experience too. Every once in a while I give Linux a chance on my personal desktop, only to find it working great.. until it doesn't for whatever reason and I'm left losing minutes to hours figuring out what and how it broke, browsing forums etc etc; usually to great frustration.

    I simply cannot afford that kind of nonsense for my work devices. I regularly do and have used macOS for work for the best part of the last two decades and have never, not once, found the system broken or in a state that I needed to fix things after updates. That OS just works. Always. Of course you'll find weird stuff happening in the Apple user forums as well, but in my personal experience Mac OS is rock solid out of the box whereas Linux can be rock solid if you want to invest a lot of time in it. And for work, I cannot.

  • Hey that's interesting! I have a degree in computer science and work as a software developer but also a masters in visual arts (photography). I never managed to break free from my developer gig, because of the financial stability it provides, but I already burned out, recovered and feel it's an endless cycle. Like you, doing art made me so happy and it bothers me every day I can't seem to get my life turned around in that direction.

    Do you have any tips in that regard? How did you get started? Did you transition softly or just quit your job there and then? And what then? Did you have network? Can you live off your art?

    I have so many questions, please point this fellow STEM in the right direction to break free :)
