What is this "honk honk"? I've seen it lots of places. Might just be baader meinhoff, but I first encountered it in Chicago where aggressive drivers are constantly honking but its …

Not only is it legal it’s insanely profitable! See: https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/campaigns/snl...

If they’re scared to make money because it’s slightly harder or there’s a fraction less money to be made then the market will correct for this.

Its one thing to acknowledge that open source software doesn't get the review it needs. Its another thing entirely to suggest that major platforms in use today are sponsored by sta…

I will have to educate myself on the specifics of corruption in Israeli politics, but we're dealing with a particularly virulent freewheeling kind of graft in American politics whe…

The most important video I've ever watched for my career and sanity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzkRVzciAZg

Wasn't there a post here about how little review open source software actually gets due to the highly specific knowledge required to identify vulnerabilities? something like: https…

Maybe you’re one of today’s 10000 https://xkcd.com/1053/ But it’s been widely accepted since West Wing first aired that corruption in America’s electoral system (and politics gener…

Many people at offices in the US look at taking sick time as lazy and bosses will pressure you to come in anyway

Is anyone else hearing a lot of sniffing when artsyca unmutes Microsoft teams? I thought we were switching to slackerzomba or whatever

The law wasn’t designed with this use case in mind. It’s likely you and everyone you know break minor laws daily just by going about your day. The end result of this is wider appli…

My success as an architect or senior dev or supervising senior dev or practice lead (all hats I've worn just like the knit beanie I wear every day) all depend on a senior managemen…

Your manager should be called a practice lead and they should have recently been a senior dev. They should have been picked by other senior devs as the obvious choice since he’s th…

What toxic pit do you work in where junior programmers are ARGUING with senior architects and the senior devs aren’t mentoring, reviewing and empowered to make key decisions in ano…

A company that cannot come up with a better more interesting process isn’t somewhere I want to work. How about making the questions broad enough for every candidate to have some in…

I worked with Michael Slaby in 2008 and 2012. He's an incredible technology manager. He's great at punching up and fighting for his engineer's perspectives and helping upper manage…

I'm not angry. As they say in America, "I have no dog in this fight." It does not bother me in any way that the government in China gets to decide whether and where people can trav…

In the west the idea of a hukou has been used by kings, lords, police, governments big and small of all kinds for more than 1000 years. It’s not a new idea it is one that I think m…

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, only the cost and timeline for a grassroots effort to prevent disaster. If we leave this up to local parties to solve our great grandchi…

At the danger of DOX'ing myself I'll just say I was a hair's breadth from closing the loop on full online voter registration in 2008 but apparently local offices are not REQUIRED t…

World governments and wealthy private interests are right now paying huge sums of money to interfere with election results. That's happening right now. Not in the past. That's why …

From one side of your mouth you're demanding perfect privacy and from the other side I'm sure you'll tell me its necessary because of the laws in the US for voting procedure and po…

Again, this assumes a slippery slope. Organ donors abound. Should we be allowed to redact it on our driver's licenses for fear that we might be judged by our bosses and neighbors o…
