  • Well, simply that, a false positive on the drive gets the whole Google account removed. Not just the drive access, but all your past mails (and the future mails you will receive because you are unable to tell others that you had to change your Mail ID), all other accounts you made using said ID become harder to access and same for other Google services (paid or not) that you might be using at that moment.

    And you can’t even send a user data retrieval request.









  • The real psychological pain comes from the realisation that your parent never really cared about your boundaries.
    They’ll even give your ITR account OTP to someone who will block you out from it and it will be your fault for trusting them with it, but I guess this example is too irrelevant.

    The teenage years are around the time when children start evaluating their own actions and start having their own personality (which is kinda related to the rebellious stage). They realise the power dynamic between them and their parent which they were until then not conscious about.
    It is the parents’ actions during this time that determines what their evaluation of the past power dynamic will be and so will be their decision of what relationship they will have with their parents once they are financially independent.

    So, whether or not the experience is traumatic, your future relationship with your child depends upon how much they care about who sees their pictures.



  • LEAN from the web:

    After each iteration, project managers discuss bottlenecks, identify waste and develop a plan to eliminate it.

    1st iteration:

    Project Manager A: Requiring approval of multiple Project Managers for the same thing is causing a bottleneck. So is having to wait for a specific manager for a specific topic.

    Resolution: Let all managers approve everything and need only a single manager’s approval.

    2nd iteration:

    Project Manager B: There are too many redundant managers. It’s a waste of resources.

    Resolution: Get rid of all mangers but one. Actually, let the engineers manage themselves.

    3rd iteration:

    Consensus: LEAN development is a scam though



  • Unless you are in India.
    Their customer service apparently drove a relative of mine to Apple.

    Also some of the cheaper Nokia ones have a great number of problems:

    • SIM card not detected after Restart
    • Some bad sensor causing Google Maps to show you facing the wrong direction.
      Alright, it’s just 2, but happens enough to make me regret.

    Some high end model had its LCD liquidate somehow, without a visible crack and was not covered in warranty.


  • … Except when it doesn’t.
    I use Gnome at work, on an older (supposedly stable) version of RedHat and there are a few ways it breaks, but when it does, it Breaks Bad. I would be fine with said breakages if it were not trying to claim focussing on having lesser bugs and in turn reducing customisability to such low levels that changing stuff like animation speed (which, by default is set to productivity destroying speeds), is not possible from the default repos.

    KDE and related applications are much more tolerable and when I find a bug I tend to be happy to report.

  • RV64 has a maximum 32-bit instruction encoding

    I kinda expected that to happen, since there’s already enough to fit all required functions. So yeah, even this is not a good enough criteria for bit rating.

    those original 8-bit intructions still exist, and take up a huge part of the encoding space, cutting the number of n-bit instructions to more like 2^(n-7)

    err… they are still instructions, right? And they are implemented. I don’t see why you would negate that from the number of instructions.
