If there is a labor shortage then why are the jobs being created of the kind that are less advantageous to workers? Isn’t the market supposed to “correct” in favor of labor in that scenario? Because it looks like the opposite has happened.

Amusingly that’s where I pulled the ripcord on this article too.

I really wish people like you would stop pooh-poohing legitimate complaints about attempts to prematurely retire tech just because companies have found something more lucrative for them. We’re not luddites. We’re not short sighted. We under

I feel like this should be a banner on every comment page: your anecdotal experience is completely irrelevant when discussing something on a country-wide scale. What you personally choose to do has no bearing on the conversation.

As a non-Rust developer my first thought upon seeing the optimized version was “On the other hand let’s not visit Rust, ‘tis a silly place.”

You seem to be just playing with semantics and claiming it offers a new way of thinking about I/O.

It always seems odd to me that people want to readdress solved problems. When I mean solved in this case I mean reached a level of usability where the design became stable, then familiar, then standard/de jure. The oppprtunities for im

I’m watching tech companies be more and more infested with these business types. As in, it used to be you’d see technical product managers, but they’re largely MBA types now. Ditto for engineering upper/exec management. Ditto for sales

So all states are corrupt equally and there’s no point in having a discussion about it? Is that your assertion?

I would argue the exact opposite is true. Can you cite examples?

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say with my "charitable interpretation", you articulated it much better.

I hate sounding both old and weird but I cannot shake the feeling that much of the claims of economic health and growth in the US is... if not fake (I’m not totally nuts) but not accurate. My most charitable interpretation if I’m right is t

People are mentioning (not complaining) that it's not a replacement for vim/emacs because the discussion is on a web site largely frequented by software professionals. Toy tools are not well-regarded here, nor should they be. It&#

Maybe they HAVE thought of these things, and what you think consumers want in cameras is wrong? I disagree with almost everything you want for cameras and would consider them worse products if they implemented them. Not everything should be

Not really, the traditional conservative answer would be more along the lines of companies should be allowed to do whatever they want because ultimately that's better for the individual. The neoliberal argument is closer to one of the
