Can you please define a) what you mean by “woke”, and b) exactly how Bloomberg (a financial publication aimed at the ownership class) qualifies? Last time I checked with my sources…

No idea, but this makes me less likely to go for HP metal next time I buy servers. Who knows if the brilliant business minds currently in charge of the printer division will bring …

Well…” convenience “ isn’t exactly being delivered at the moment!

Yes, it’s utterly nonsensical if you truly believe in the original goals of Bitcoin.

My main issue with urllib is it requires too much boilerplate and it ends up being harder to read the code at a later date in my experience. In general I prefer the standard librar…

At this point I’m open to new and exciting problems, whatever they may be. Hell, I’d be ok with leeches making a comeback if it meant I didn’t have to pay a copay on top of a premi…

And they all drive Teslas with vanity license plates.

I’m very fond of both New York City, and spending time in nature for the same reason: you just don’t know what you’re gonna see when you walk out your door. Am I going to hear a vi…

Yeah, its *super interesting* at first, but once the novelty fades you aren’t left with much. That said, nowhere on earth had better driving directions on apps since people will no…

The FTCs fine on Facebook from a few years ago exceeds the combined value of all GDPR fines levied to date. The Irish government fills its coffers with the largesse of tech compani…

Well, in some sense they don’t operate on language at all - but on mathematical representation of tokens derived from language. I’m sure from your comment you are aware of the dist…

Ahh yes, another premature declaration of success by the EU, who haven’t properly enforced ePrivacy, GDPR, or a host of other regulations. The EU is all talk and posturing, you can…

Call it what it is: Fidesz is an arm of the Putin regime.

Fuck NSO Group.

A simple function call as a wrapper for a well optimized sql query just can’t be beat for performance. I have never understood why anybody would use an ORM, it’s usually as much wo…

Yup - and you can’t code your way to real scale either. At real scale the game is all about data structures. Code just gets them from A to B. Or as they say at Google, the job of S…

One thing I like about hand designing schema is it makes you sit down and make very clear choices about what your data is, how it interrelates, and how you’ll use it. You understan…
