I get the sense that many programmers resent writing tests and see them as a checkbox item or even boilerplate, not a core part of their codebase. Writing great tests takes a lot of thought about the myriad of bizarre and interesting ways y

Frankly, there are far too many men who have one foot in the “rape is OK” camp. (Framed as “you have to be forceful even if she’s reluctant,” “if she’s drunk or passed out it’s still OK,” “society owes me sex,” etc.) Just look at the insane

That’s almost the textbook definition of American exceptionalism.

Nobody wants to see dead Americans. Put away your grievance politics.

Yes. And? Despite working in tech, my solidarity is not with the tech bros. By all means, tax the shit out of my wealth bracket.

Bullshit. I might be considered white today, but my ancestors wouldn’t have been[1]. And my particular Eastern European “white” culture has relatively little overlap with other European (French, Spanish, Italian, etc.) “white” cultures. If

No. I don’t even know why I come here anymore. Mostly flagging and downvoting idiotic comments out of spite. The real hackers have left long ago.

You can find articles[1][2] with direct reporting on the deaths. I don't know what the actual numbers are, but it's a verifiable fact that many people have died because previously-available health care, medicine, food, etc. were s

Most open source licenses will not prohibit someone else from dumping your gatekept code onto Github, though.

Having a license that specifically disallows a legally dubious behavior could make lawsuits much easier in the future, however. (And might also incentivize lawyers to recommend avoiding this code for LLM training in the first place.)

I'm also defined by my friends and family, but if I decide to move states because I don't want to pay taxes, they're certainly not going to follow me. As with most people, my social circle is largely built on connections in m

Well, I firmly believe that the social value of a human being far exceeds their financial impact. It’s almost tautological that if a person can pack up their suitcase and flee anytime taxation becomes slightly unfavorable, then they’re not

People who are able and willing to swap states on a whim don’t have roots. They’re mercenary citizens living in an insular wealth bubble. Money aside, what value do they bring to a community? I’d rather they just leave.

You failed to see the appeal of a social network not run by a nazi...?
