Apple has operating systems, hardware, and software. Maybe Apple should spinoff OSX into its own company? They clearly abuse their positions with OS X and their hardware to push Apple specific software that only they benefit from. If they h

I feel like $180k in base salary in Boston is very hard to achieve. Only FAANG companies seem to pay that amount.

Mozilla killed Firefox itself with its poor leadership. They have had nearly 20 years of Google writing them half a billion checks annually. If they can't come up with a better business plan than literal corporate welfare, maybe they d

You don't find it sad that you would rather theory craft about democracy rather than participating in it? If having the desire for oneself to spread democracy makes me partisan than I guess I'm lucky to live in a country where the

My actual theory is my lived experience in attending local council meetings, being part of local political groups to enforce change, and advocating/canvassing on the ground to help people I support get more voters voting for them. Thes

Wow 4 months is pretty awesome. Are you based in that USA? I worked at companies that had unlimited PTO and no one ever took that much time off.

How does this work in copilot if you use the neovim plugin? Open lots of buffers?

Hoping that things get better after my death is such a sad view of the world. People can enact change and make a better society together NOW, that's what democracy enables that's why it's worth fighting for democratic ideals.

I can elect members of the government or campaign against them to change the system, democracy is liberating and freeing in that manner. Can't do much about a private enterprise without hundreds of millions in capital. I do see why the

Where is the advocacy for the only tried and true method of organizing with your fellow coworkers and collectively bargaining together to better your work environment? Why is the onus on a single individual to solve all the problems and not

Why would profit save money for tax payers? You now just introduced an entirely worthless layer that was wants to extract money.

Also something that needs to be noted, you don't need the same original numbers of people in your kingdom to make equivalent money. When you're making commerce in someone's fief, they will demand tribute as well. In the confi

This hasn't really been my experience, maybe if you're only using a single dependency (like express) it's easy but if you have any reasonable amount of npm deps it becomes quite untenable very very quickly. Mostly in ways you

What.cd was more than an archive of nearly all recorded music, both analog and digital. It had some of the best collage lists and recommendations I have ever seen. None of the child sites came even close, but some are promising. It was trul

I hope so. Old Reddit is how my internet addiction thrives, if it goes away I might be rid of this electronic demon for good.

You absolutely can judge tools by how they are used, especially if said tool encourages poor usage.

Maybe not, but Google, with its monopoly, should play fair and not pick favorites because it increases their ad dollars bought.

Doesn't Google also punish small sites that do similar things? Like if I made a site that was sincere as an individual where I review kitchen utensils where I add affiliate links I'd be penalized, but the larger established domain

Not really, you have to paraphrase what was actually said not completely distort the original meaning to push your narrative.

Churchill never said this about capitalism, he said it about democracy.

Hard to feign sympathy when companies trout the "no one wants to work" line when they always forget the second part of the statement that is always implied: "for how little we pay."

There is nothing wrong about collecting unemployment insurance if you’re unemployed, regardless of your previous job or salary. I don’t know where this mind worm of not using programs that were literally made for these circumstances but you

It's not cynical to point out external costs, the alternative is to take corporate propaganda at face value without ever questioning if things are right or not.

ah I misread it, thanks for clarifying what they were trying to say.

In your hypothetical scenario this is a potential problem regardless if you make static content or not. At least the static content is potentially less resource heavy but I don’t see how your concerns don’t apply to any online service.

Trusting an algorithm that wants you to watch the next video for ad impressions may not be the unbiased metric you think it is.

Is this true? I look at jobs on well found and most startups pay worse salaries than what I was making at insurance companies. Not too mention the worse benefits that they appear to offer as well.

Definitely check out HTMX! I do like Svelte myself but I don't like how it seems like the majority of development is spent on Sveltekit itself. That said, Svelte is in a great position and can easily pair with things like Go or C# or P

It's not hard to understand, this is a site where people champion working overtime hours for the chance at a lottery ticket or prefer working for companies that are destructive to society and anticompetitive.

I’d consider things like cheerio and alpine as the next iterations of jQuery. Also Frontend tooling doesn’t have to be complicated, only if you let it be. Using things like svelte or Htmx when appropriate are vastly easier than herding reac
