Why would npm care? They're basically a monopoly in the JS world and under the stewardship of a company that doesn't even care when its host nation gets hacked when using their software due to their ineptitude.

These are completely human systems that can be changed any time for any reasons. The current system is achieving exactly what it was designed for: wealth extraction. There’s no reason why this system has to exist. We can make it better any

No, public schooling is something that lifts people out of poverty. 100 years ago public schooling only want to 6th or 8th grade in most states. Equating government welfare programs to better society with for profit systems is frankly disgu

Why is the answer to completely upend the education system rather than the original issue of your ex-gf working for a shitty company that couldn’t accommodate her? The ADA became a thing in the US for a reason after all.

There is nothing democratic about a technology being forced upon people. No one voted for this. IME when VC says “democratizing” you can substitute “degrading” for the real meaning.

This is happening parts of the world where hyper scale data centers are being built. Rolling brown outs and diverting potable water from towns, you find these stories both in Ireland and across South America. We already see it happening in

We don't need AGI to cause a massive amount of disruption. If leadership of companies want to force use these LLMs, which is what we've been experiencing the last two years, workers will be forced to use them. It's not like t

The book "Why We Fear AI" by Hagen Blix and Ingeborg Glimmer talks about this dynamic. Whether it will lead to a class awakening because previously if you were aligned with the company you were rewarded as well, but now if you ali

No problem! One of my favorite things about vim is how modular it is and how simple it is to extend it too.

My bad, updated the links now. Reason for the passion is that I originally found out about neovim on hackernews where someone shared their dotfiles setup that used vim-plug with neovim. It looked simple to transition and I did. Just trying

On the neovim subreddit one of the core maintainers said that relying on users to lazy load plugins is an extremely poor practice and something that should be done by the author's of said plugins. It is just a matter of how you initia

I think my worry is that Google should be getting two arms chopped off instead of one finger.

Unless the remedy is that Google's online ads has to be spun out into a separate company away from their control, I don't see how any remedy can be effective. What can honestly be done to punish them? I mean punish too, certain en

I think one problem people have is payment processing. There really needs to be a federal program to allow people to easily transfer money as payment. There are too many extractive middlemen with rentier economies and ethics. There's n

I feel like we need more social equality to advance technologically rather than gadgets. The idea that only the elites and rich can conjure technological wonders is just so demonstrably false and not needed in this moment of history. Uplift

For this analogy to hold, wouldn't there have to be some way to withhold all people from applying to a job? Why would a company want to do this if it just increases the cost of hiring? What is the benefit to paying more for a workforce

I use to work for a company that got around this by posting the job ad physically outside our offices doors. We were 5 stories in a WeWork space. Probably illegal but I doubt the company cared.
