I am genuinely surprised at the comments in this thread. This article starts "That said, I do not think there is much evidence that misinformation has become more widespread, that this increase in misinformation is due to technological

I know this might be a bad analogy, but it was one of the things that went through my mind during all of this as a software engineer: "We have this bug in production which is a Sev-1. We have a possible fix that won't make things

I worked at a bit campus with lots of perks. It felt more like college than work. Especially with how people stayed for dinner and the campus was busy from 7AM to 10PM. I can see how this could be dangerous. I really felt like the campus ma

This is not science, this is heresy, anecdotes, confirmation bias, self-referencing, and regurgitation of political theatre happening across the wold. This article even includes using Facebook responses of people claiming to be part of the

Not in this context. This wasn't spam, this was a person with the information they had trying to close the loop on some information an engineer put into a a spreadsheet. This message was not "irrelevant" in the context that t

Yep, it can/will happen. My assumption is that this is related to Curl, which has a pretty well documented license. Responding to emails like this with an automated email pointing to the license at https://github.com/cu

Unfortunately, the US politicians are largely incompetent in technology and currently have market holdings across a lot of different sources (possibly including Bitcoin). So the question becomes: Will the politicians let it fail, or will th

It's not about open source maintainers. This isn't an "open source" problem further than the fact that Daniel's software is used in a product they are using. Daniel could take a couple of seconds to ignore this emai

Mathematics is not protected by freedom of expression. See legal issues on "magic numbers" that pop up all the time. There is also the fact that this is also an environmental issue in many ways.

Is bitcoin "to big to fail" at this point? I think the thing this points to the most is that Bitcoin is no immune to market movement and it is a speculative asset (since right now speculative assets are the places where the marke

Many organizations document their 3rd party vendors and libraries and it doesn't surprise me that an automated email reached Daniel. Most likely someone mis-documented using one of Daniel's projects in a spreadsheet. I am personal

I read "Ready Player One" years ago after a few colleagues recommended it. I truthfully could not get through it. After a point in about the middle of the book I realized that there were other books I would much rather be reading

Is this comment in support of NFTs or against NFTs? From what I have seen commonly the subject of the NFT is hosted somewhere not on the blockchain (possessed by someone else).

Yes, these are items that are in limited supply that people would like to keep as memorable items. It makes a lot of sense, even if the market has been a bit inflated at times. These collectibles have a high price tag for highly graded clas

Maybe, this is also a new user pushing a bare minimum paper with a headline that denotes safety issues with the vaccine. We should be actively looking for scientific outlook, but the top of this comment chain is correct in asking questions

Fair question. We are still operating in the real world. US has an obesity epidemic and that should be fixed, that doesn't prevent the real-world death and healthcare stresses that we are seeing and will be many years of work before th

This terminology ("with") has been used problematically in the past including calling into question covid death numbers. Including a commonly repeated line of: "All deaths right now are accounted to covid because everyone has

Can you please outline what your point is? Excess deaths in the U.S. align with these numbers. I don't think it is valuable to attempt the pedantry of "with" versus "from", when there is clearly some causation.

In many ways it feels like we are recreating DRM, which was something that we weren't happy with as consumers, but this time: "It's different because it's crypto and I can make money on it".

A Michael Jordan rookie card is rare because only a certain number of them were physically made. An NFT is rare because we decide it is rare (the physical constraints are not the same as the rookie card), I don't know if they are exact

As people noted elsewhere, you have to be VERY careful with using databricks for a full data warehouse due to the fact that it drives you to notebook driven development and scheduling of those notebooks when data pipelines should follow sim

I think this is a joke from another thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5penft/parallelizing_... . Also, I think it is fair to challenge the decisions here seeing as how there have been a few t

It depends on what other tools you are currently using for ETL (or want to use). One example is that we used Spark so we would use the Spark submit operator to submit jobs to clusters. You can also use the K8s Pod operator if you want to ut

Some people have noted that this is a very Airbyte specific article, but I think that the lessons learned are still important. I have managed Airflow as a managed service for a company that has thousands of DAGs and one of our keys to succe

Sure, you can have this attitude about how you operate. Many of us believe there are expectations of companies, contracts whether written or social that should be followed. Even if Facebook reverts their position on this to "back in of

Is your point "Never trust WFH contracts/policies because they will be amended!"? The article may be misleading, but if employees who were told they could WFH forever now are told to come back that is a change of policy that

This seems like a very large change as a response to the outage. What about employees that have already migrated to different locations? They are expected to move back within 3 months with the housing market like it is right now? The subset

There are a few outliers in this data. Some streamers with smaller viewer bases are making more because of exclusivity deals, so I imagine there will be a little bit of drama.

Are you claiming this is a bad thing? Your statement doesn't have a whole lot of meat in it without elaborating a bit. There were a lot of decisions and changes that were made that led to this happening, and we have no idea how it ends
