We deploy to a single region. This maintenance was a major pain in the ass. We got a notice 72 hours ahead of time (only 1 business day ahead of time) that around 60% of all of our hosts failed live migration and would be rebooted.
This is a case of states violating the constitution of the united states. It's a pretty clear violation of equal protection. It's not up to the states to decide this.
Rights of a minority should not be left to the democratic process.
I have so many old computers/electronics. I can guarantee I couldn't pay someone (other than garbage collection) to take them, let alone make money off them.
The same thing applies to us here... I went to college to become a software engineer/computer scientist. I didn't go to find out what I want to do. I knew what I wanted to do.
It's extremely easy to criticize other degree/career choices when you're sitting comfy in a VERY desired field. Just because I rolled the dice and liked computers and went down an already well paved path doesn't mean I made "better" choices than someone else. I chose the path of least resistance, to be honest, and at the end of it there happened to be a party waiting.
How do you buy an album or song without it being DRM-chained to a particular service? That's my problem with music. I've settled on Spotify for this reason, but I was extremely disappointed to read that I'm probably not contributing in any meaningful way to the less-than-popular artists I listen to.

-Mods stealing work from other mods
If you read Gabe's responses he starts poking at the "Wow wow wow, why is this bad?" and learns a few things.
This little subtopic can't be summed up in a sentence. Valve didn't set the 25% number, and that's the important part. Bethesda opted to take over 40%.
The OP replied in that article's comments saying that their appeal was rejected with a statement that any reference to Pebble in the description had to also be removed.
I thought this post was overly cynical and full of generalizations. I don't really understand what point is trying to be made here.
"Everybody" "Nobody" "Nobody" "None of" "everything got Windows-ized" every sentence is a broad generalization on top of cynicism so it's hard to find any value in the point trying to be made.
