As someone using Claude/Opus 4.6 everyday, Zitron is full of shit. All the stuff he says is a bald faced lie is... stuff I see every day.

> Rust makes roughing out new features very hard. > I don’t know about anyone else, but at least for me, when I’m building a new feature I usually don’t have all the data types, AP…

But it is not absurd. Facebook doesn't target ads at you, Bob Jones. It takes all of Bob's activities and pushes them into bins based on how they characterize Bob; Male, lives in I…

It's shitty. Doesn't seem to be illegal though?

If you can't see that in the main, using Shareholder Value as the main driver of corporate behavior is a bad thing, well, sorry. In a society where society provides infrastructure,…

Anything non-fabric would weigh too much. Many smaller parachutes means many more lines, which would weigh too much. The rocket equation is cruel.

Far more problematic long term, to me, was her (and Facebook's) role in making sure FOSTA/SESTA happened.

But why warn, why stop supporting it at all?

Me too! I always worry he'll end up like old D.D.

I find I only have bandwidth for 1-2 of the Crooked pods a week. PSA is good, PSW is for when a topic catches my eye. Hysteria is really good. LIOLI is sublime.

The Weeds is so good! Also listen to a bunch of the Crooked Media podcasts, Pod Save the World, The Wilderness.

Interesting how well good old B-tree still does.

Sorry, that's security by delusion if you trust apps more.

No, nothing has managed the same combination of exploration, trading, ship building, and combat skill, plus an over arching slow burn story. So good. I loved WC 1-4 (hated Prophecy…

Laughed out loud. We used "indexes" and "indices" all over a code base, methods/classes and doc. It was a real mess to true up to one.

Just fuck right off. I hope she coffees as much as she wants to, on what she wants to. You're an asshole, on the other hand.

I wanted to look into self hosting because it's the only way, for security reasons, my company could use it.

This really resonated with me. I am passionate, or at least I think so. But all my subprojects are for work. I work at a place where the problems are interesting, and we are encour…

What are K tables?

Timex-Sinclair 1000, Radio Shack Color Computer, Apple IIe, original IBM PC (floppy drive!)

Yes, that's his point.

Moto Z Play. Makes my Note 4 looks silly wrt battery life. Plus, you can shove a $60 battery moto mod on there for more battery. I get 7-8 hours screen on time from the stock batte…

This is sadly too common if you are not tenured, let alone not a Phd already. Universities treat their non revenue teachers as cattle. And there are darn few professors who bring i…

Good for her. A ton of CEOs have done far worse for their shareholders and done as well with their exit package.
