I wonder if @Superman's Fortress of Solitude has been melting due to climate change. Does he get polar bears visiting him?

@aloukissas @CalDigitSupport What kind of cables? I have found DisplayPort is another "standard" where not all cables are created equal. How good were the cables you tried? Which DP standard? What speeds were they advertised for?
English
@NoSQLKnowHow @CalDigitSupport Expand? I have been struggling to get >30Hz with my TS3 (flicker), have tried multiple DP cables.
English
I love how USB-C was supposed to be a universal standard, but there are different types of USB-C. There are USB-C cables that are "Thunderbolt Certified". And then, inside that, there are passive and active Thunderbolt cables. #ugh
Thank you to @CalDigitSupport for the assist!

@PcPhilanthropy GenX here. It was a .edu address around 1993, I think. I had to spool files to the VAX to attach them to emails. This was also around the time I was telnetting into a server in Australia, coding MUDs.

@GithubProjects MS's increasing rollout of AI in the OS pushes me closer and closer to installing SteamOS on my gaming PC.

@fidexcode Basic, on an Atari 800. I was eight years old.

@excid3 Another Aeron. Most office chairs don't last anywhere close to 15 years.
Also, you could probably get parts to replace the ones that broke.

My Aeron chair is finally kicking the bucket after like 15 years.
What office chair should I get to replace it?

@itsme_urstruly If you said or did something stupid in public, you were far more likely to risk "immediate feedback" and, if you really messed up, "wall-to-wall counseling."

For those who lived before the internet, what was life actually like?

@EdLatimore You're not the first person I know to get the ban hammer out of the blue like this. The weird thing is, FB gives a near-zero explanation for why they are banning you. Meanwhile, my wife is a professional troll on FB. They literally pay her. *shrug* It's not much, but still.

@NoSQLKnowHow My personal.
I'm still getting notifications on my business page people are saying they can see it

@houlihan_rick This is why I look sideways at people who say AI replaces junior developers. Still need experience to look at the code, what it's doing, know when it's screwy, etc. If you're not going to train junior levels, you won't have the people who can validate. For now...
English
I think we are rapidly approaching the point where we will need to validate AI generated code as often as we need to validate compiler output.

An interesting thread about a personality type on teams that are solid performers, but don't want the limelight. The stars who do, need these people. This personality type is usually the first to be cut with brutal HR policies.

This is why B players, 6s, the ones that are good in their current role and don’t want promotions/more and are very reliable and consistent matter. Yet some of you terminate those people in an “up or out” company. They’re your glue, fam. They won’t ask more of you, don’t want more, and are happy being good at what you hired them for.

People on all sides of the spectrum are pissed that the majority of the divisive content on this app is from foreign agents.
If a few guys from a 3rd world country with an app can manufacture a culture war...
Imagine what people with real resources and influence are doing...

Well, guess I'm never going to be a @comcast customer.
Chris Ebert@realchrisebert
Welp, I guess it's time for me to switch to AT&T Fiber or Wowway Internet. I am getting sick and tired of Comcast/Xfinity charging me for overages when I use more than 1.2TB of data. That's not that much data these days.

@randomrecruiter There were a TON of good people laid off this year from far better companies than PwC. They need to understand that the common denominator in all their failed recruiting efforts is them. Or they're going to have to allow remote workers and pull from more areas of the country.

Struggling to fill an open role?
You’re either asking for too much or paying too little.
Pick one to fix or get comfortable with an empty seat.

@EdLatimore I also use AI to take something I have and ask it to "streamline and reduce the size by 30%." I don't usually take it verbatim, but it inspires what to get rid of. I find that doing this makes my writing more information-dense and more poignant.
English
The key to writing with AI is to do as much writing as you can without it.
That's not some poetic aphorism telling you not to use AI in your writing.
I've found that AI takes good writing and makes it great, but it takes bad writing and makes it worse.
Your mentality should be "I'm helping the AI," not "the AI is helping me."

In the past few years, why does going out to eat in the USA seem to be about which place can cook/reheat Cysco mass-produced "food" the best?

@ranman Would you rather it call you "Sport", "Slugger", "Buddy", or "Cowboy" like the photographer on picture day in elementary school?

Hey @youtubemusic, can you please implement a better recommendation engine? You have info on all the music I liked, and access to Google's AI capabilities.
What I really want is a mode specifically for finding new music and rating it up or down to tune further recommendations.
