> ability to switch jobs easily that's a funny way to write 'willingness to act collectively with fellow workers'

While I agree with your point, if you're going to critique law enforcement this only goes halfway: In the US, the idea of the publicly funded law enforcement officer can trace its …

Carbon emissions aren't the only impact humans have on the environment. As one other commenter pointed out, the further humans sprawl the more we encroach on wildlife habitat. This…

> Chromium is...vendor neutral. That's pretty misleading. When you want to sync state across Chromium installs, you use a Google account, and that's really just scratching the surf…

The trick is declining to sign them, provided you have enough tact to do so in a way that doesn't signal that you're hard to work with in general.

Judging off Glassdoor reviews, most of their devs are embedded ('forward-deployed' in their militaristic lingo). From that and my own short interview experience a few years ago, a …

This retconned history of the mistake that's popped up in the last few years is bizarre. No one thought this at the time. Bush tripped over his words all the time. It's much more l…

I get the impression you're over-simplifying this and grasping for whatever assumption you need just to try to make your point. While some of us have run with my oversimplification…

This is reading more and more like you're begging the question. One of the sibling replies that predates this comment by a quarter of an hour already addresses your specific missin…

Everyone replying answered this, I'd just like to point out that the answer to 'could you elaborate a bit more' is to read the parent article. Another excerpt: > In 2013, the GSA I…

This entirely misses the forest for the trees. And granted the author's bias gets in the way of his attempt to point out that forest. Their bias aligns with mine, but with less edi…

True for me as well, similar setup (amdgpu, not nouveau, except at work). The only time FF 'crashes' is when I update while it's running, and even then it gracefully degrades and l…

In the financialized world we live in rent seeking should be the top of the list.

> 'the athletic' and its clones None of which have actually taken off their runway as far as I know.

It's sort of a convenience fee. I agree with your App Mafia take but my guess is folks that can't be troubled to use F-Droid probably weren't going to donate in the first place. Fo…

Lol pretending like Harper wasn't at the front of the pack right next to Blair hopping on the coalition of the willing

Re-reading it it sounds like it swung from fastcgi because Apache didn't have PHP support, to mod_php, and back to fastcgi (FPM) because Apache had poor concurrency support. It no …

> in fact running PHP via fastcgi was also quite common for a while. Mind clarifying how this is different from the current hotness (from what I can tell, due to a decade-old short…

An alternate POV: you can sell boutique software as a means of getting paid to do initial iterations on an idea while simultaneously building out an impressive set of logos to slap…

Github's rep is probably worse than Google's.

> Write some unit tests, a human description of what it does and based on the source code and description of existing software the system would basically “debug the program into ex…

> you also should acknowledge that every centrally planned forced cooperative has ended up run by abusive leaders who do not take care of their citizens. I mean, that's my point. T…

Seriously. Ask some Athabascans about how extricable tar sands oil is.

A fair point, and I don't have a silver bullet. But wherever we talk about markets optimizing utility we need to acknowledge that to-date that's purely theoretical, and hand-waving…

> as long as we mitigate the known shortcomings of a market economy - externalities, tragedy of the commons, etc. Pretty loaded caveat there. I can't think of a market economy that…
