Why do they do that? Are they penalized for working overtime too often?

Influencers say things they were paid to, certainly. But the reason that someone is willing to pay them in the first place is because they have an audience that knows them and trusts them. Influencer advertising is generally a VERY target

I am like you, I'm someone that can happily code for eight straight hours on task and then happily jump to a side project afterwards in a totally different language / domain. Take it for the single point of data that it is, but: I

I mean, I was speaking more to the breakdown of the metaphor than the argument itself but if that's your response then it tells me that there is no reasonable way that Suno can ever really claim fair-use. I can't imagine being one

You may be reaching the limits of the metaphor here, but restaurants are absolutely responsible for the e coli if it's found in significant quantities whether it's in the initial ingredients or the cooked end product. A restaurant

But are any of those things a strong enough motivator to warrant the average person paying several hundred dollars more for an incrementally improved device? You haven't really made a strong argument for why a user might upgrade specif

For those of you who don't know, the project was archived in 2024 but there was at least one modern fork of XChat in the form of HexChat : https://hexchat.github.io/

Given how many times the tech industry as a whole has been collectively and expensively wrong about trends as they dominate the zeitgeist, I think that first option you gave is more damning than you think. What is populist is rarely what is

You speak of intentionality beyond the explicit reality of the data involved as some great irrationality in their statement, but we literally have a corresponding term for that. Spirit of the law. If the law were as black and white and ends

I think this is a lot more common than one might think. The trend of hiring "Only Seniors" puts a downwards pressure on both engineers and those managing them to focus on titles over pay increases. The engineer gets the title thin

I've always wondered what exactly that "useful productivity" cap is for programmers on average. I've been gifted with the capacity for 100% productive eight hour days, but it's definitely easy to recognize that as e

It's too bad that SASS has fallen out of favor. With SASS, that would have been: ``` a.link border: red &:hover border: blue ```

Your usage of Kashmir as the representative for democracy in this context is a little less credulous given the region is generally synonymous with fascism, ethno-nationalism, and extreme corruption driven by startling inequality and poverty

What makes it so that only 4chan users would have empathy for the death of other programmers? Terry's death was quite tragic and his work was often discussed in technical circles for it's novelty...despite his eccentricities. Love

The difference is that you can see it. If you have two highly skilled contributors with very different programming styles, they can still collaborate within the same codebase given a goal and the end-result is the same for your users. When

You can test this pretty easily, it's not like that model doesn't exist. Play your average driving videogame at 30fps in first-person mode. Crank up the brightness until you can barely see if you like. We do it just fine because t

Realistically when you buy a phone you have a choice between two storefronts-- what are these other phones with no storefront you're referring to? Surely you can't be presenting conventional flip phones as an alternative here. Bla

The difficulty in criticizing Bitcoin and what it could have been is that everyone willing to engage you on it is quite literally invested in being right. Zealots betting the house can't afford to be wrong because it would often make t

Without commenting on the quality of the Bloomberg piece, exclusion is quite literally the reason that HOAs were created. The original, explicit, and completely legal purpose of an HOA was to exclude specific races and creeds and we cannot

Out of curiosity, why do you see VR as being a necessary step towards the creation of AGI? Those two don't seem related at all in any way that I can discern.

If it sounds ridiculous to you, it's because it is. The fact that you find it absurd only really underlines the point being made there, and that point is that "doing things while black" is a lifetime of uncomfortable, unneces

95% is a bit of an exaggeration, it's more like 30-40% inclusive of ALL Hybrids including the Prius. The one factor you're missing here is that many drivers consider a somewhat expensive non-hybrid luxury vehicle as an investment

It may imply this on a long enough timescale, but as it stands it only implies more that there is a historically larger pool of capable female employees sans CS degrees than there are candidates with. Which is demonstrably true.

The trust and minimal involvement are really key here, the best managers I've ever worked with have been enablers rather than taskmasters. Managers that remove roadblocks, provide you with exactly the tools you need, insulate you from
