Firstly, that’s not a policy, and secondly, if seizing the means of production just means supporting labor-owned businesses, it’s not communism. The version of communism that people point at is government-controlled means of production to

Or, a public developer could construct and operate housing at cost, where rent pays off just enough to service the debt and operations.

Yeah, but why would it matter to us if they tell dang they’re out? That’s the missing context.

I mean this is pretty well understood at this point. I linked some further reading below. Addiction happens because doing X activity produces a lot of dopamine in your brain, enough that you can’t replicate that dopamine surge by doing heal

Every for-profit company operating under capitalism is essentially required to be greedy in order to be successful.

Good thing humans never ran over a beloved pet :) Jk, I think my family alone had about 5 animals die to humans driving cars. (Very rural area with a mostly quiet road. A number of these were stray cats, can’t really control where they go.)

Yes, I really want an M5, a CPU I can buy today, more than Panther Lake, which isn’t on the market yet and hasn’t been reviewed by 3rd parties. I want a laptop that gives me amazing performance, thermals, build quality, and battery life. It

I’ve worked in DevOps and companies I’ve worked for put the effort in when M1 came out, and now local images work fine. I honestly doubt it will have a huge impact. ARM instances on AWS, for example, are much cheaper, so there’s already lot

It’s true. It’s also great that we have companies that want to do better. All it takes is a board & executive who don’t care for public good, but only for short term profit, and the entire mission of the company goes up in flames. And s

I think it’s all about short term gain vs long term sustainability. Most companies these days seem to be hugely focused on extracting as much profit as possible, and shoveling to executives and shareholders in the form of stock grants and b

Cheating is often very obvious, even when the player is on your team. It’s when multiple improbable, too-perfect situations happen for the cheater in the same game. But that’s beside the point. Gaming companies who produce competitive onlin

I don’t think that’s true, there was an initial Dynamo outage that was resolved in the wee hours that ultimately cascaded into the ec2 problem that lasted most of the day

So if they released a native desktop app with fewer features, do you think it’d be worth it? Or do you think they shouldn’t write any apps? Electron is the most cost effective, least wasteful way to produce a desktop app on all 3 OSes

Why is the raw total number the only or most important thing? BS example numbers, but if we have 50x the debt today, that’s not as scary as it sounds if we also have 50x the population and 50x the economic productivity (50x the tax base to

How long before moderately sized companies start hosting their own git servers again. Surely it wouldn’t be that difficult unless your repos are absolutely massive. GitHub outages are so common these days

There are a large number of policy issues the average American should be able to agree on, but have been polarized to the point that we don’t solve them. - Get money out of politics. Everyone complains about corruption, no one tries to do a

And that’s why React is the dominant framework in companies, and frameworks are either passion projects from open source developers (like Svelte), or from big tech, which has the resources for it (FB & React, Google & Angular, MS &a

IMO, em dash isn’t a great signal — plenty of people used them already. I can type em-dash easily on my phone with double dashes. the giveaway for me is the too-perfect summary list of things it loves the most

I mean it’s in your comment. The usability studies mean more people prefer it the other way. You SHOULD cater your default style to something that’s more widely usable. And no, I absolutely do NOT want the content I’m reading to be full wid

Default styles are barely usable on mobile, especially when it comes to images. They said “decent looking,” after all.

I mean, the crux of the problem is you might have a problem space where everything has a very, very strict, tight deadline. It’s not gonna work for that. But this is simply not true in the real world. As the author notes, he has papers to g

I have (diagnosed) ADHD, and take meds for it daily. It helps tremendously. For that window of a few hours where it has an optimal effect, I have what feels like an innate desire to do anything. Send those texts I’ve been putting off, coord

Self hosting is so much easier than before, though. Tools like docker and Tailscale make operating servers and using VPNs pretty painless. Routing to your home address could be hard, but it’s also pretty easy and cheap to set up a reverse p

Yeah, it’s weird. Even on brand new gigabit fiber connections in a tech city (Seattle). Quantum fiber doesn’t do native IPv6. WaveG / Astound allegedly supports it but the upstream connection from my LAN would not deal one out. Some pa

This is essentially just how capitalism works. Money is the only priority. So in ANY market where the financial incentive opposes human well-being, humans will suffer. That’s true in healthcare, where we’re often getting a worse product whi
