Moving To Mainframe Can Be Cheaper Than Sticking With VMware

The Register reports: Speaking to The Register to discuss the analyst firm's mid-April publication, "The State of the IBM Mainframe in 2026," [Gartner Vice President Analyst Alessandro Galimberti] said some buyers...

People who keep apologising for things that aren’t their fault aren’t being humble. They learned that getting in front of blame was faster than waiting to find out whether it was coming

Chronic pre-emptive apologising looks like politeness but functions as threat management — a small payment offered up front to head off blame that, in childhood, often did arrive. Here's what the research says, and what actually helps. Read more

I’m 38 and I just figured out that the approval I spent my twenties chasing was from people who were structurally incapable of giving it, and the chase itself was the proof, not the path

Approval that has to be extracted isn't approval. Why some of the people we spent our twenties trying to impress were structurally incapable of granting what we were asking for, and how to spot the loop you might still be running. Read more

AI Job displacement was always going to happen — what nobody predicted was that it would come first for the knowledge workers who once felt safest

For most of the last century, the story of automation went something like this. Machines come for the factory floor first. Robots take jobs from welders, packers, and anyone whose work involves repetition or physical strain. The person who studied hard, got the degree, and ended up at a desk with a laptop was supposed ... Read more Read more

The people who answer ‘how are you’ with a full, polished, three-sentence summary aren’t oversharing. They’ve simply learned that vague answers invite follow-up, and a clean reply is the fastest way to get out of a question they were never given the language to actually answer.

The polished three-sentence answer to "how are you" looks like openness, but it's often the opposite — a closed door painted to look like an open one, built carefully over years by people who learned that vague answers invite follow-ups they were never given the language to handle. Read more
