If they charged a newspaper price for it per se (like $1 a month), Google would be rolling in cash with as many users they have.

Newspapers are not $1/month.

And Google's ad revenue is likely more than that. Or, if it's not for every user, the ones who would opt out of ads are the ones who can pay. You're cannibalizing your highest value users.

You are worth much more than a dollar. Each search is worth between 10 and 90 cents. If Google shared that with the user people would be happier

I love this level of peak satire so much. Please keep it going.

I guess they don't like money, because Cursor is really good and offers a variety of models. What a shame they're being so petty about this.

That's pretty embarrassing. It's such a poor representation of gaming. I'm surprised anyone is still talking about it.

It would have been funny to see Tomb Raider return for it's 12th annual performance comparison in a 2026 Apple keynote.

They should have used Cyberpunk or Control. They are few years old now but are native Mac games with ray tracing

Well, there's 24 people still playing it now on Steam

I never even heard of this game.

So frustrating. Too many hiring teams seeking the "perfect" candidate instead of hiring for completely valid and amazing potential.

I'd wager you're far better than whatever candidate they landed on, because the person who apparently qualified for that role probably isn't thinking while they prompt away.

Why are engineering teams looking for brainless monkeys? It's to their detriment all around if they aren't hiring capable people.

Sounds like we're gonna need browsers to pop an audio playback permission, as annoying as that seems. Abusive sites just can't help themselves.

But only if it isn't Republicans, right? The Biden administration sure loved partnering with private tech companies to censor and monitor Americans to fight imaginary bogeymen like those darned evil white people who want their own nation like everyone else! (gasp!)

How are those layoffs treating you, Microsoft?

I think it has more to do with the title sounding positive and not causing a stir to avoid controversy, maybe.

God forbid a well-meaning person need privacy and solitude to get work done in a meaningful way, just as other inventors and geniuses did in their private homes throughout history, and later came together with others to share their findings.

This idea that we need to be married to other co-workers throughout each day has all the same dysfunctional attributes as a nanny state or a daycare, where employees are treated as untrustworthy and needing to be monitored at all times.

The fact that talented engineers are able to contribute meaningfully, with few errors, and with brilliant solutions, all on their own, is proof enough that coding in solitude is a completely reasonable preference, that's shared among most of the engineers I've met in my career.

There's no reason to be so dogmatic about this.

Hey docmars you want to pair on this?

NO TOM I DONT WANT TO FUCKING MARRY YOU GOD FORBID, ME, A TRULY TALENTED ENGINEER AND GENIUS, TRY TO GET ANYTHING DONE FUCK THIS FUCKING NANNY STATE BULLSHIT as you return to clipping your toenails in the office

This was genuinely funny, gotta hand it to you.

I wish I were this insufferable, alas.

Truthfully, I don't mind pairing on something if someone needs help and doesn't mind doing it asynchronously instead of sitting on a video call all day pointlessly when Slack will work just fine. :)

The reason I went to hyperbole with this one was because a prior startup I worked for required everyone to pair on every ticket, whether they liked it or not. I simply refused, and they were fine with it, because they liked the work I did. If I needed to collab on anything, I'd just talk to the other engineers. And guess what? We survived and did amazing work together as a team!

This was modeled after my former coworker Tom who had to be told not to clip his toenails in the open office, and then told not to do it in the lounge room even if he was alone
