Understood, we can't even have humorous conjecture about why sex boxes might be related to hackers. _You_ can post about sex boxes, and let material like that pass, but any similar…

Maybe German software engineers have to use sex boxes a lot?

How bad must these people feel about themselves after though. Driving out to some seedy "sex box" to pay to have uncomfortable car sex. The self disgust on the drive back must real…

No the "world" (ruling class) never treasured that.

I know a fintech startup founder already working on precisely this

I get the whole "home grown industry" and sovereign production of defense and all that, but just like when Australia tried to build its own submarines, really you're better off jus…

Genius...

So would it be a legit business model to just run a 1billion gigawatt heater to profit from those negative rates?

They don't care though. School was never about learning, but discipline. Through that lens, the fact its uncomfortable without purpose is by design.

How many languages do we need again? The amount of time we spend playing around with special case languages and frameworks. Would be nice if machine languages followed the lead of …

It'll be interesting to see how things pan out from all this. The internet has only really been with us for a few decades, and yet has completely transformed the fabric of humanity…

I'm a big fan of the "fire and motion" concept of dev social paradigm. The idea is that devs and large companies have a tendency to constantly move away from tried and tested conce…

Copying is a fictional crime.

It would definitely look like 4chan. 4chan is a straightforward example of unrestricted speach. And its not a bad place, just different, but most people wouldn't enjoy being there.…

My 1:1s with last boss I had went like: "how are things..." "good" "1:1 complete". And that was on Slack. The guy just hated them, so that was my idea and made him happy. And I don…

Employment is actually, as a matter of law, a boss -> servant relationship.

Don't worry, we'll just "grow our way out of it". But seriously, buy gold.

Great content, I confirmed all these rules the hard way on my first business play.

DRYing the code is just an entry level form of simplifying the code. It's a good starting point, but its value quickly taps out once junior devs start writing incrementByOneFromZer…

This is life though right? These companies pay crazy high salaries -- they're not going to make it easy on you. The fact that you'll barely be using the algorithms if at all doesn'…

I've witnessed this first hand so often that I'm well aware of what it's caused by: overload at the top. The end beneficial owners of a business have limited power over it. They ex…
