The very same thing that is viewed as a strength ie oversight of everyone and everything is also a weakness in its own right -- Classical example of "do you have the power to let go of power?"

How many of us developers would take a principled stand when tasked with implementing features such as these and how many would silently comply? I know I've folded unknowingly, adding all sorts of extra tracking including behaviour tra

There are many call recorders, from ones that activate the speaker and record through the mic to others that activate a threeway call and record that way. The one I prefer is one which taps into the audio at the core level and captures the

Is this semantic markup for writing or is it like headers and paragraphs? I'm pretty much stuck in the LyX mindset when it comes to treating documents as code.

I'd be inclined to view it more as a social safety net, an investment in society and a means to lubricate the wheels of the economy by facilitating spending.

I understand what you're getting at. It's like you're trying to put out a fire in your kitchen when your whole house is on fire. It would work if you could get it all done at once but not when you try to do it piecemeal.

Exactly! There's always going to be that one guy trying to prove he's a 10x that'll trek out all on his own into the wilderness in the middle of the night and then a bunch of others who will follow because that's she sta

It's more than the 80/20 rule, it has to do with how people perceive the notion of work. It used to be we would let the computer do the work for us and we'd kick back and read mad magazine. Now it's the other way around

It's not only personality cults. There are all sorts of false cultures. The only one that works is the family model but that one is widely misunderstood and in practice it is hardly ever done right except perhaps by a professional mili

Slavery and branding are two things which predate recorded history. We pretend like anything has changed but in actual fact the same rules apply as always. Money alone is enough to set the world in motion. If you value peace prepare for war

Totally analogous to every single self-styled agile software development environment I've ever worked in. People pushing themselves to the breaking point when they could get better results by just stopping whatever they're doing a

I predicted every comment before I read it down to the one about the right cmd button I too have used the Mac while eating a taco.

Dudes, this comment has gone from 0 to 5 votes, I don't even know what to make of it any more.

Who actually knows? The whole reason we exist is to say or do that thing that would not be said or done if we hadn't been there to say or do it..

Naw dude your point is not lost -- and all this discussion is happening on a zero-point comment mind you
77.
by artsyca 6y ago
Is that true? I've gotten hella downvotes but still not shadow banned. I think it's because people read my comments in their own voice rather than in my voice and take offence to the words whereas it's just a way of communica

I've been saying that too, 'reason for downvote' or 'link to profile page'

you see how much discussion is happening under a 0-point parent?

Oh cm'on people are way too sensitive

I'd say this forum is exactly this. How often have I self censored because I just don't want the downvotes?

Yea dude that's my theory that time is what keeps everything focused on one single now so that energy doesn't leak out to some other now somewhere else There's nothing outside this one moment, ever. It all moves together in p

There's only one now. That's time forcing everything to happen all at once. Quit thinking like a classical physicist and take into account all the discoveries of recent years. I fucking hate this website why do I keep coming back

I'm pretty sure we'll eventually understand that our universe has no beginning and no end, it's a perpetual motion machine. As well we'll understand that time is not the fourth dimension per se but the constraint that ke

Bro. While technically true, $99/year is actually less than nothing if you really think about it. Edit: do the math -- $99/year x 1 developer account versus even $1 for the app for a modest number of users. you're dealing wit

A lot of us may espouse the view that "code is poetry" and may even have the sticker to show for it on our laptops -- but how many of us have actually written a code poem in this fashion? In their infinite wisdom our technologica
