Society made religion optional through scientific inquiry. It can make America optional too as no theory of science suggests it’s existence is immutable law. It’s going to be a rea…

Got you, fam: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59577162

But are they? https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/05/fears-over-fa...

I wasn’t boosting past software. Doing so would be banal nostalgia. I’m saying the doing matters, not the software; we throw it away and regenerate it all the time. It’s disposable…

Maybe it’s a bit literal but I see lots of people at computers planning updating just like I did 20 years ago. From the IT workers context a lot has changed but the end user output…

Apple employees have the freedom to create without coercion. You would need to lobby to change law, not preach to the choir here. That’s what Spotify and Musk are doing; trying to …

I agree with your analysis of how I see things. I disagree that I am “caught up” on anything. I have a preference that’s been refined over time. Not a psychological error in percep…

If you stick to arbitrary software industry definitions. As a hardware engineer first, it’s all “monolith of electron state” to me.

Agreed. My point is I am not going to see a marketer as aiming for the same goal “as an experimental physicist.” To borrow the Lindy effect; whether someone likes the jacket in col…

Advertisers and marketers use the equations but measure contemporary trends. Science is more “what’s true if humans didn’t exist.” Marketing is more “what widget generates more rev…

People will either intentionally sacrifice to slow climate change or destroy itself. Neoliberal society will come to an end one way or another.

Right; it came about as experiments suggested something actually did exist. It’s not the same kind of gibberish “mechanical flight is impossible” ended up being.

They didn’t predict global warming. They measured directly industrial emission accumulation and predicted an impact on human health. Global warming is a colloquialism. The research…

Extensive dependency chain of brittle logic that needs tons of planning and preparation to update and manage is not unreasonable description for microservices architecture from an …

So a code monolith I can just dump on a Linux box is in again? Our figurative ideas, ephemera, seem to be in a loop of taking a simple mental model, branching it into a mess, feeli…

What’s ludicrous is the idea they can close up shop altogether in the US and 300 million plus will just sit on their hands and do nothing. Twice as many guns as people over here. T…

Your ISP and mobile provider still know :) your gadgets have registered IDs in the hardware. Every mechanical thing we come up has a decode-able sequence. DIY filter bubbles each o…

Timezones and language barriers eat into the profits fast. What’s with the idea though that 300 million people can just be ignored? Me thinks you’ve let yourself get lost in the ec…

Been thinking about this as well. Working on language native libs to react to eBPF telemetry and scale logic forks appropriately to avoid exhausting the host, motivated by disdain …

A growing segment of our society is tired of serving cushy office workers. I would not be so sure there isn’t a massive amount of potential energy among the public to put video gam…
