If you like what I'm saying, assume I am smart. If you don't like what I'm saying, assume I'm sarcastic. Asexual. Atheist. Apo'strophe police. Go away now.

  • I don't understand most of the things I used to enjoy as a kid. I went from radio to cassette to CD to MiniDisc to MP3s. Now I'm supposed to endlessly change things around to keep up with media players and codecs and whatevers. No thanks.

    I used to enjoy programming and tinkering with computers and microcontrollers.

    Now I have to be an expert in 15 unrelated fields and softwares because even a simple job of turning a button press into a single output pulse is a weeks-long nightmare of IDEs and OSes and embedded Linuxes and 32 bit microcontrollers and environments, none of which are clear and straightforward, and all have subtle inter-dependencies.

    So to turn on a LED with a switch now requires a multi-core 16GB main PC (so limited! You need more!) so I can open a multi-GB IDE (that can support every language ever invented) that requires an SSD just to be able to navigate the 35 windows it opens in less than an hour, so I can use AI to copy-paste hundreds of lines of boiler plate code I don't understand, so I can type a few lines of code?

    And that's not counting all the new companies and architectures.

  • Nonsense. Medicine is a mish-mash of reductive thinking and conservatism. You may be thinking of outlier cases, but the day to day bread and butter of medicine is 19th century with dipping mustards. Your attitude is why we end up with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Do you also drive a tank to the grocery store in case of a fender bender?

  • But the doctor needs to see every quark and gluon in your molecules! How did they perform heart transplants in the 1960s! Please don't get in the way of technophiles inventing all kinds of fantasy scenarios to justify their hoarder-like behavior.

  • Then why offer all the medical examples? Stint and stent are two different words.

  • Yikes, if you're trying to put a "stint" into someone's heart, imaging is the least of your worries.

    Solution: use a stent.

  • So many things have reached not only diminishing returns, but no returns whatsoever. I don't have a single problem that more technology will solve.

    I just don't care about any of this technical shit anymore. I only have two eyes, and there's only 24 hours in a day. I already have enough entertainment in perfectly acceptable quality, with my nearly 15 year old setup.

    I've tapped out from the tech scene.

  • You only know that after the fact, from outside. I assure you the homeowner absolutely did not think of that at 11PM. Get real with your "who cares" nonsense.
