Which is really weird we do this since 80% of tasks fall within sane defaults territory. My last employer had something like 10 hits every 5 minutes. Somehow we needed the entire K…

The DMCA is never abused so I am sure would never be

The only winning move is not to play. To that end I have been shipping friends and family Rpis with k8s and kilo installed to experiment with alternatives. The web as a concept nee…

You’re part of the tyranny who won relative to billions of others. So-called civilized society is using its wealth to expropriate resources from other nations rather than destroy i…

Country by, of, and for the people they say about the US. Plenty of evidence in the historical record that taking a hands off approach to politics has exactly such consequences. Lo…

I’d prefer for there to be more market incentive to avoid needing as much car travel. Which is happening organically thanks to the cost of living increases, urbanization putting mo…

Parking structures are: 1) an eyesore 2) poor use of space in dense urban areas Sure let’s reduce urban housing supply cause suburbanites need to drive into town for a little cultu…

From the bottom of the article: “It’s an intriguing result, and it may lend some weight to the MOND hypothesis for further study. But it’s important to keep in mind that so far the…

To be fair, it’s probably not Ruby, but the clever linguists I was working with 2008-2012 era. Everyone brought their preferred syntax and there was much less of a “let’s solve the…

The so-called by many, Father of Capitalism, Adam Smith, only defined market in terms of a free labor market. He also wrote that whatever type of government existed in a nation, it…

Rails is not vanilla Ruby. And web apps are not the only software that needs to be written. I moved on from Ruby land right as AWS was blowing up, and admitted I have never worked …

Anecdotally, since I got away from Ruby, working on software became way more productive and tolerable. Maybe it was something with the corner of the Ruby world I fell into, but the…

Who controls property is not a political point? Isn’t that exactly what the legal system is for?

Someone old enough to organize and pull off such a sophisticated attack would be around in 65 years? Surely there are shorter paths to ill gotten gains. Like running for political …

Presumably it’s not hard to read the second paragraph, read that access is controlled by Houthi fighters and Google the name It’s a science website not a political one

How you can connect a handful of (some college educated) women I know putting their body where they want with men they pick as being anything like a billionaires sex cabal drugging…

The problem is meritocracy can be gamed to be unfair by selling the perception of improved performance. Giving off a perception of peak performance is trivial for those that know h…

People are hardly working for Google because they want to. People are hardly working in slaughter houses and coal mines because they want to. Feminists I know are selling themselve…

We can sell our bodies to be destroyed in coal mines, sitting at desks, smash them up building homes, abusing them in sports, catch a Covid-19 bug... Puritan economics seem perfect…

Make a blog post. Social media is for cats and shallow memes. I too prefer to subjectively dictate based upon prior experience. How someone organizes a project is up to them, and t…

Sony may have assumed based on past success they could make it work. A whole lot of business is simply not blinking or being seen as weak, and simply fixing it later.

The majority live in urban areas where constant input of human activity is probably making them anxious and insane. I have tinnitus in the city. I go to the mountains and it’s gone…

That something, to my mind, is “brand privacy invasive tracking as bringing you free/cheap shit.” It worked for the last decade. They’re doubling down, unaware the dotcom 2.0 bubbl…

Well, you asked so... Sacrifice time at digital “salons” and non-essential economic activity. When 40% of jobs are work from home, strike is a matter of closing a laptop. Jumping s…

When the thought leaders have a “hole in their life” because a cron job and sendmail SAAS shutdown, you know it’s bullshit all the way down: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/121671…
