What objection is there? Talk about “handwavy” comments there. This framing is ableist, whether intentional or not, and I was pointing out not everyone is in a situation where this is the case: > How about you instead of trying to “get a

Those people are world class athletes. Lots of disabilities cause physical activity to be extraordinarily painful or difficult.

I am one of “these people.” I’m pointing out something to the gp comment that people don’t consider when they make generalizing, moralizing comments like this.

Not necessarily to the same degree. Physical activity can be extremely painful with certain disabilities. In those cases, it can be useful to know how much is enough to stay healthy.

Some people have disabilities or physical limitations.

it’s the wet dream of execs and pm types. however, i have not seen anything close to it in my life. I remember the UML days, lol. the issue is not the code, it’s the translation layer between business and code. maybe someday ai bridges that

It could have been investigated. Even this article states prices went down as a likely result of the investigation. Turning a blind eye bears some culpability. All we heard during those years was that it was due to avian flu shortage, and i

This isn't any more private. There are cameras with recognition tech just about everywhere now. If anything, this is less private.

You don't really ever stream games in normal situations in the same manner though. The content is mostly rendered client side, why does the server need so much bandwidth?

bRo I wOrKeD aT mEtA meta only uses inhouse tooling as far as I’m aware, so what exactly is your expertise you’re claiming here? I didn’t claim kubernetes handles file descriptors, lol. I was saying single vm solutions hit these OS limits f

by JohnMakin 4mo ago
“we” is me. Kubernetes is easier. yes, file descriptors are handled by managed k8s. that was a small example. I could go much further with it. the ecosystem is far easier and I’d never go back to the way you’re describing because it is just

by JohnMakin 4mo ago
It's exhausting reading about this stuff because there is inevitably a barrage of comments about "you don't need kubernetes, you can run your app out of a single vm you dumb trend chaser" in this style. Like, sorry, no,

These kinds of posts act like there wasn't already a rich suite of automated security scanning tools available. The fact you can put them in a LLM's hand or point it at a codebase to do the exact same thing isn't really a big

This style works for me too. I don’t necessarily think the live coding interview is always the best presentation of what I know and some types of interviewers try to apply pressure in those situations I don’t feel is entirely fair, plus you

yea I’ve tried various methods around this - mostly trying to implement rules around “if you think I’m incorrect, STOP and ask. If I tell you to break a rule, you are allowed to challenge once and then my response overrides it.” kind of thi

> Take-home projects or a trial period of some kind. This makes the most intuitive sense by far: having candidates do a representative slice of the job gives you a solid idea of whether they'd be any good at it. Combining this with

Yea, I was aware it stores this normally. I just wanted, at that time, to see if it could reliably record itself via writing every tool call to a file on its own (I don't know what I was trying to prove, other than mildly curious if it

I did not mean to imply it's being subversive. My theory is it's some byproduct mechanism of attention, where you're now basically telling it "your goal is to pass this set of tests" rather than "implement this

Voters certainly don’t choose it. This is chosen by unelected councils appointed by representatives with motives not driven by the same motives as voters. What is to be done about that?

Cynically, if I was looking at this as if both parties are protecting their interests - they might be realizing that this behavior going forward is going to be harmful to their donors, and thus themselves. State mandated TV/speech is n

I know it was tongue in cheek, but to respond directly, intent doesn’t matter when the result is universally harmful. The recipient shouldn’t have to ignore the harm just because you didn’t mean anything by it. I can have the best possible

It almost gets it. These positive externalities are supposed to be paid from the owners of capital, primarily via tax. This is how it very successfully worked for quite some time. However, most western societies have decided in the last few

Wow, you didn't know this kind of behavior is insulting? Crazy!

Yes, societies have made different choices over the course of 100+ years. How do you suggest a city like say, LA is fixed? What is a commuter from dayton ohio to cincinnati supposed to do? The gp comment made it sound like something america
