FWIW, I'm not necessarily envious of Musk, et al. With that being said, I'm not sure personal bankruptcy is a particularly meaningful risk when the individual in question can enjoy substantial riches by sheepishly(?) returning hom

Many managers leave the definition of "done" up to the programmer.

Anecdotal, but… I'd be willing to put the time and effort in to start a company, but I would not be willing to lose my home or fail to provide for my wife & three children in the process as neither my wife nor I have any family cap

Funding doesn't matter as much as mindset. If you know you can always go live with your rich family, then the cost of failure is pretty close to 0, so you can repeatedly take big risks until one of them pays off. Worst case? You end up

I've wondered for a while now: why don't the Democrats get their own agents elected as pseudo-Republicans? The Republicans keep doing it... Lieberman, Nelson, Manchin, Sinema, et al.

Alternatively, this trope (and others?) could be an attempt by the "middle class" to establish some kind of class solidarity given that, in reality, there are only two classes: (1) the working class a.k.a. the have-to-works and (2

The usefulness of beginner materials really depends on how big of a jump it is, no? Going from writing firmware in C & asm for 30 years to Haskell would likely require more than just documentation.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

It's not UB if the "common initial sequence" exemption applies as it does here.

What if your GitHub is empty because you philosophically don't believe in the F/OSS movement? What if it's empty because you don't want to feed even more code into the deep learning grinder? Hell, what if it's empty

If CPUs are made of transistors, then why do we call them broken when they stop functioning even though the chip still remains?

My current codebase is a liberal mixture of C, C++, Java, and mksh. The whole project uses CMake and GNU Autotools and ndk-build and whatever the heck calling mma with AOSP does. There's no way to unify it given how many differen

Has it not ingested the entire AOSP codebase? I was under the impression that OpenAI had trained GPT-* on just about everything available to the public. It's not necessarily niche either. The codebase already does this all the time. I

You're helping to train them regardless. I reckon that, ultimately, the success of "gift culture", "kNoWlEdGe ShOuLd Be Free!!!1", F/OSS, et al. via the WWW will cast this entire Stallman-esque hacker ethos in
