That's an understandable reaction if you just look at the raw USD value, but that's very far from the full picture. They are not pitiful when you start adding the costs for housing, healthcare, transportation and the rest of the t

Indeed, there's no lack of good faith arguments for what you could call "intellectual diversity". For example, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky talk at length about how the way our media is interlinked with corporations and gov

Sure, but then continues on to decry the de-nazification of Germany and the shadowy "cosmopolitans" who imposed that by force and not the suppression of leftists by the US military, CIA and McCarthyism. That's the trick, you

Curious, how the conclusion of the "intellectual diversity" argument is always that we should tolerate nazis more and never anything else, really makes you think. (Cue the "I don't support nazis I just think that for the

People used to talk about Java in the same way people talk about electron now so I feel like that's a definite no.

Given it's Jonathan Blow, I feel compelled to say yes. More seriously, while program overheads have undoubtedly gotten higher, that's always been in exchange for something else, even if non-technical, like a better developer exper

I think the most accurate way to say it is that, while Rust compile times are not inherently slow, Rust has in most cases where where a desirable feature was at odds with compile times decided to sacrifice it. So while it is not inherently

I personally expect those plans to be dropped or cut back relatively soon as Trump leaves office. I don't think the 2024 date for this plan was at all a coincidence. Taiwan is extremely shifty about their semiconductor tech leaving the

I recall AMD mentioning that their Zen architecture is pretty generic and that it would not be hard to make it execute ARM instructions instead. AMD has worked on this before, although the project was canned, but there's been some rumo

Surprised to see there's still people using the term "Software Craftsman" in a positive way.

Absolutely insufferable, I can't even hate-read this article.

That makes sense to me, because dynamic pages are not served from a CDN, which do a lot more BGP and routing trickery that could go wrong.

CORS errors are false positives for a large amount of causes. For example, if loading a website causes an 502 or other error, that might not set the required CORS header, thus making it illegal for javascript to access the response in a num

It looks like it's a CDN issue, which might affect many things using GCP for large files.

I was thinking about the French "Vigipirate" system, which I think has "lowered" the threat level by defining higher levels at least two times now. For example I remember a few years ago, the second highest color level,

It is a pretty good technique for expanding police powers. You allow them to do more stuff, but only when the level is high enough. Nobody will object because objecting to emergency measures looks bad. Then, whenever something bad happens y

by ATsch 6y ago
I think it's a bigger reflection of the fact that there is absolutely zero incentive to lower these alerts and that the police, who inform the threat level, generally benefit greatly from the "temporarily" expanded privileges

Thanks for this key insight, but I don't see how it's relevant. The point, which I'm very far from the first person to bring up, is that the actual purpose of vague concepts like "culture fit" is to be a wildcard yo

In that case the problem is that you've hired someone that lacks the emotional awareness or worse doesn't care that they're making people uncomfortable with the jokes, not "bad culture fit". Whether someone cares ab

That's true, but in the context of a popup this means you must be able to deny or dismiss it without consequences.

Team cooperation is not something a cover letter can tell you. "Culture fit" is nothing but an incredibly transparent and convienient post-hoc justification for when you know you're only excluding someone for not looking or b

This is a great endorsement of Twitter, but unfortunately they are much more tolerant towards hate mobs than this post would imply.

I totally agree. But the amount of pressure required is incredibly big. As in, Google has been trying it for years in the Android world and is only seeing success now with drastic measures that vendors hate, like forbidding use of any kerne
