More likely sell your family ads while using your voice.

I like going the other way, too. My personal favorite: kilosecond: 11.57 days and fun to say, but never useful: gigasecond: 31.68 years

Under that interpretation of accountability, you could easily hold a machine accountable for decisions; if it loses enough "reputation points" such that people no longer trust it t…

idea is the concept, whereas creative work is the implementation of that concept.

I was working on a mobile team, the order came down from on-high that google recaptcha was no longer cutting it for verification during user signup and we were switching to Arkose …

Maybe this is more begginner than youre looking for, but I saw this one ("Lost at SQL") here on HN last year. https://lost-at-sql.therobinlord.com/

Being open about it doesnt make it right.

That is sad news. I used to listen to a CD of one of their acts on most road trips with my parents. They were so funny, even though the political references were all well before my…

I dont think it's demeaning. Uber (and others) are not very upfront about the longterm costs and risks, causing (often) desparate people to make serious decisions without critical …

I think youre right. Unfortunately, once the issue of, particularly homeless, severely mentally ill people is out of sight (i.e. no longer on the streets), it will be very easy for…

You're falling prey to the fallacy that just because 1 person's actions can't make a world of difference on their own, those actions aren't worth taking. By your logic, you may as …

Honestly, youre doing great. At the very early point in your career that you are at, it is normal and expected that you dont know much. The important thing is that you just keep le…

For me, as a rookie developer, I find I often have little to no clue what needs to be done until I've started coding and figured out through trial and error how to implement it and…

I think that throwing more people in jail technically is a solution, but it's a very expensive one that does nothing to address the reason why people are committing crimes. There a…

> To ensure developers are context-switching, recompilation should take at least 20 seconds. So true. But only 20 seconds? The project im working on takes 20 MINUTES to compile for…

I wont discount that as a possibility, but it kind of goes against the company's mission, so I think thats kind of unlikely. A more likely explanation (in my mind) is that being a …

This is true, but I dont think high school was ever intended to be preparing kids for the labor market; I thought it was to teach a basic education for understanding the world.

Awesome! Real throwback to my first programming class; using turtles to draw stuff in GIMP using Scheme.

I agree that folx doesnt make sense as a nongendered term, but Latinx is used because Latino/Latina IS (traditionally) gendered.

by that logic, US democracy and capitalism arent successful either (see Russian election tampering and OPEC influence on US/global economy)

I think the main issue with the original art piece was the lack of consent. The pictures are clearly of a single subject (the device user) and not of a space that mutiple unconsent…

this is beautiful. Thank you for your contribution to humanity

Arent all the best/popular apps free these days? I have no data to back this up, but in my experience people have gotten less willing to pay money for an app than when the app stor…

This is a testament to needing to test your code for edge-cases before deploying. And if it doesnt work how you intended... dont deploy.

Fair, but there may have been security reasons for not recording something like this (if the swordsman theory is true), you wouldnt want enemy castles to be built as well, so you m…
