This reminds me of the fiction series "The Last Policeman".

We're commenting on a site run by a Silicon Valley tech start-up accelerator. "Move fast and break things" is the accelerationist way, even if the "things" they break are a stable,…

You said: >If you give any regularly-occurring event that varies in intensity enough time, it is guaranteed to break the records of its previous intensities. I don't even have to a…

Same reason people lobby for fracking or sell mass surveillance software.

Adobe Air, for the obscure nostalgia bomb

Do I get to be the one to make the inevitable joke about GitHub and "highly available"? Or the joke about GitHub's frequent downtime being an effective throttler?

Ah yes, that well-known link between having immense wealth and being characterized by restraint and regard for the well-being of others. That's why Elon Musk is both the richest ma…

I'd recommend clicking through the headline to watch the talk. Metz talks a lot about types of similarity: similarity by coincidence vs similarity due to an actual semantic or func…

Tell me you've never been to Idaho without telling me you've never been to Idaho, where a considerable portion of the population (especially around Moscow, Idaho) wants explicitly …

>Their expertise will be used to improve Grok Build coding agent. Is Grok not a toxic enough brand (by association with Musk) that people who would use Cursor wouldn't avoid Grok? …

>Homeschooled people just assume others must be unhappy in those places where they dont go, but that is not the case and not shown in statistics. I hear you. I grew up in the "home…

>more people will be peaked by the discontent it can sow, I think this is sort of begging the question a bit, in the sense of assuming a specific conclusion is true when asking the…

>All things being equal, if a person works remotely, apparently they're more likely to trend reclusive. The existence of families and housemates reveals this to be a false dichotom…

This reminds me of growing up as a homeschooled kid and hearing people ask my parents "but how will they socialize?", generally while we were at the youth soccer field or at the pl…

Can I get a version of this without the over-the-top misanthropic "don't reproduce" comment? I hate it when you quote the AI at me because you stop treating both yourself and me li…

>You're claiming that there is some arbiter of truth out there that is immune to bias, which is completely nonsensical. Bias creeps in everywhere because at the end of the day some…

Okay, so you're linking a known tabloid whose sensationalized headline is still not about the actual content of the Snopes website being inaccurate, and instead is leaning hard on …

You're getting downvotes because the target of this particular lie was a known liar, so people probably feel like it's some sort of poetic justice (or they know it's just in-kind r…

Snopes (like anywhere) is only as reliable as its track record of collecting firsthand sources and accurately reporting on their contents. Which is to say: pretty good so far, in t…

This is the exact reason we switched my wife from iPhone to Android – because her iPhone couldn't sync reliably for our shared password vault or for Immich.

You let them write code that runs in prod, which is the same thing with extra steps. Unless you review that code carefully, and then we're back to the point about it not saving you…

....as opposed to the political spoutings off of your brand-new account named "throwaway48965"? Maybe you're just (ironically) in the minority, and mad that you don't feel like you…

In my experience, generally Salesforce takes a little while before they notice that they bought you and start imposing uniformity and forcibly regressing you to their mean. This wa…
