Even if this guy were not anti-AI, as the primary maintainer of OS projects, it sounds like he's dealing with a genuine problem. > My initial task when a new unexpected PR arrives …

> They’re always in far-off places That's yet another thinly disguised case of punching down: the author wants you to know that they are not the type of person who lives close to a…

I would agree. The implicit (or actually pretty explicit in a couple of sentences) class disdain is so tiring.

My son-in-law is from Brazil, came to the US for grad school, has an Ph.D. in ML and a good job in the US. He got his green card via marriage a couple of years ago and was planning…

My wife, age 60, has battled her weight her whole life, and my son-in-law is currently taking one of the GLP-1 drugs. When I listen to them discuss all this, the one thing that sta…

I agree that that "likely" is not a good look, but this was written by a lawyer to fulfill a legal obligation as part of this settlement, so I'm not surprised.

I used to work for a financial services company that had a strong and well-managed security culture. The company got acquired, and afterwards, we kept getting emails from third par…

Very true. This truck appeals to me very much. My wife and I have a 2010 Accord and a 2014 CR-V. We could afford newer and/or fancier cars, but we just don't care about those thing…

My 30-year-old daughter is still driving the Toyota version, the Matrix, also 2008, that we bought in about 2013. She loves the thing. If she didn't have it, I'm sure I would still…

Unfortunately, people like you and me are the minority.

> It seems to me that the whole "trad wife" thing is rage-bait that the press took hold of and blew out of proportion I don't disagree with you, but there were a couple of crucial …

You basically made the comment that I was considering. The problem isn't whether some people want to live in specific types of relationships. The problem is how social media amplif…

I'm with you. I go out of my way to avoid advertising whenever possible, I'm critical of marketing and advertising, and I pride myself on my rationality, thinking that I'm relative…

This is about as close as you'll ever get to a CEO actually admitting that doing layoffs for the sake of the short-term (lol as if that even needs to be stated) stock price actuall…

There is unintentional poor design and then there are intentional dark patterns. That sounds like the latter.

I think a lot of people buy into the fallacy that there is a single best candidate, and you must find that candidate. I choose to approach hiring assuming that there are many good …

Why drones? was my first thought as well. I think your answer is as good as any. Mike Lindell is an idiot.

That was my thought, too. The real problem here is that the CEOs making these unreasonable ultimatums think that the fate of the galaxy is at stake when in fact, the company will j…

It's a human nature problem, and here's a pretty trivial example in a different realm: I am a commissioner on the Parks and Rec commission for my suburb (the citizen oversight comm…

> Meanwhile, most people don't sleep well, dont drink enough water, overindulge in alcohol, don't get enough excercise, and don't get much sunlight. A couple I know in their mid-60…

> I hate these annoying articles about coffee which imply you need to be a rich snob to enjoy it Well, it is a WSJ article. I used to be a regular reader of NYT, and this very much…

As someone whose kids are both (ages 27 and 23) finally out of the house in the last couple of years--but no grandkids yet--I totally get this. I've very much gotten used to having…

I run PiHole on my home network, but it's not my default DNS server (for technical and other reasons); I have to configure custom DNS. I'm disappointed that I can't do that with my…

According to the article, Rotterdamers don't want a new bridge. This bridge has historical and sentimental value to them.
