The one thing rants like yours completely ignore is that he’s not just “revealing”. But he’s taking action outside the authority of the executive branch and you people seem all too happy to cast aside rule of law for your own personal agen

Reasoned speech only works with people who are acting in good faith, and they aren’t.

Then I personally feel you are just ignoring the constitution and separation of powers to suit your own immediate goals, rule of law be damned. The republic is in mortal peril because of your attitude

At least some are getting active, as opposed to us keyboard warriors complaining but not doing anything. I hope it’s contagious.

The executive is not a king. There's checks and balances in this country, and the congress is responsible for the purse and confirming principal positions. Do you disagree with transparency and oversight?

Unelected, unconfirmed by the senate. Literally just henchmen. This isn't how a democracy works.

Also the line about sending this email while on the weekend to his staff at his son's tae kwon do is particularly absurd.

Less impact? An empty mall. I’d be over the moon for “empty Facebook”

by andrewjf 2y ago
I hope so, but I actually think that "malls" are far less toxic and detrimental to society; so I'm not sure malls are even remotely comparable to "social media".

Ok I’ll bite… how do we do this (get rid of them)?

Tesla build quality is atrocious, the interior feels cheap, and their repair process is very long cycle time. I’ve known several people in the “never (Tesla) again” camp and now they’re buying Mercedes EVs, rivians (surprisingly) and Lucid

NASAs entire budget is 0.47% of the national budget in 2020. Spare me. Space travel is worth it.

I came to Rust from Ruby-on-Rails and I’m absolutely done with method_missing and finding nils and NoMethodError in production. This is not remotely a trade off I’m interested in making.

You get recruited by other VPs to be VP. You skip all the normal interviews that would discover your incompetence. You get hired with a plan of “we will figure out where he/she best fit”. You take over a team or several teams that ad

Having to page someone on vacation is a very very broken organization. Additionally, paging someone when they should be sleeping is also abusive. If you need 24/7 coverage, pay for follow-the-sun. Most of what we do isn't actually

systemd is great. The first thing I do on a Debian machine is replace everything possible with systemd services. I know a common criticism is that it does _a lot_ but everything that was done before are bespoke scripts (ifupdown), tools tha

I absolutely love Taskwarrior. I love that it'll just tell you what to do next based on weight, priority, due date, size, etc. I love annotating and adding tags/labels etc and how generic things are. It's really a pain in t

I imagine it's because of the lure of pure-research and self-actualization and pursuing an area of study with almost no limitations. No idea if this is true or not, but this is how I idealize academia. Opposed to "industry"

This kind of argument is exhausting. I don't know if there's a name for it or if there's some kind of "razor" for it, like; "Moving in any direction of bettering things is always going to be confronted by some

I don’t know how you can seriously imply that Python could be just as fast as Rust if the authors of uv cared enough. That seems like a disingenuous framing of why UV exists, let alone doesn’t pass the smell test that Python can just be as

Completely agreed. Most documentation, for this reason, is basically useless because it's just wrong enough to be completely misleading and outdated virtually immediately. It takes a massive amount of investment into documenting inte

Author doesn’t appear to have heard of conventional commits at all, so this is pretty funny that it’s exactly the same thing with a very slight syntax.

I pay for Kagi, but it’s not because I disapprove of the tracking of other search engines, although that’s a part of it. It’s because Google is an advertising company. They have mismatched incentives to my own values. I want high quality
