Is this satire?

Come on, it was the 1930s, in Germany and Hitler and the Nazis (the real ones we got the name from) were actually in power. You're comparing apples to potatoes.

Godwin's Law. But without the usual irony.

If I said I wasn't a Musk or Tesla fanboy, I would expect you to take me at my word. I gave a two sided account of my Tesla experience. I do like this car, and I bought it because …

Thanks for the thoughtful response. You know what, I do feel a bit conned by this vision only implementation. It wasn't obvious when we test drove it, and they didn't mention it. W…

I saw more of an awkward guy doing a weird gesture, either because he was trying to be edgy, or he meant it as something else. He might even have done it as an ill advised joke bec…

I actually don't really care if he's a nice person or not, just like I don't care who the CEO of other car makers are. But for the record I think it's pretty silly to call him a Na…

I kind of don't really care, as long as I get good service if my car is affected. I'm not defending them here. The next few years will tell if it was a bad buy or not. So far I'm r…

I was in the market for an EV due to great tax advantages. I assumed BYD would be the sweet spot, but test drove a Tesla for comparison. I ended up with the Tesla. It is hands down…

I bought a new Model Y a few months ago. On the whole, it's a great car, it really is. They've pretty much nailed the fundamentals. It's opinionated, not unlike Apple, but if the o…

The conclusion of the article is "yes", because you usually end up saving more time in the long run than you think. But there's an even better reason. Consistency, encapsulation of…

Homebrew's built a package manager on top of git. I'm talking about platforms that generate built artifacts and have package managers with dependency resolution to fetch them.

That may be true, but if you think your definition of morality is correct and anybody who thinks otherwise needs to be punished, then no wonder you've ended up with an authoritaria…

He might be lynched by his shareholders :)

There's a big difference between being a party member actually in a government position (war related, no less), and being a businessman surviving under that regime. You're not only…

Does anybody actually find Autopilot to be more than a novelty? Having to look ahead like a robot and keep your hands on the wheel is exactly how you drive without it. It feels lik…

This implies there's some kind of shared resource out there on the network that your devs are developing on. Why not make all these resources part of your local dev stack, served o…

Not in the context of claiming NAT offers protection. An ipv6 lan with default ingress deny is more secure than ipv4+nat

NAT isn't protecting them. Not being on the public internet at all is protecting them. NAT is then unprotecting them a little by letting them punch out again. It's super easy for r…

Couple of problems with git. In the enterprise, RBAC is a royal pain. You give out a URL and it's hard to know if the consumer can fetch it. URLs are absolute, there is no resoluti…

It's a well understood principle and an abstract value. It's got nothing to do with the US per-se, except it found it's way into your constitution and is protected. The conservativ…

I know what you mean, but there seems to be some kind of misplaced fear about this which has led us down the garden path of unmaintainable config (or even trying to jinja template …

I happen to agree in this principle, but for most of human history it would have been considered a radical idea. Much of the world still doesn't fully buy into it. It's a philosoph…

Write it in a higher level language and generate the YAML from that. See the YAML as a wire protocol, not something you author things in.

STRIPE_KEY I understand because it's an external service that you can't really simulate locally. But DATABASE_URL - why not just default this to localhost, and default the secret t…
