Which generation of chemist/scientist since the 1970s did not describe their work as developing “safer” poisons. Which chemical company has not sold their product primarily with the “safer” headline? Do you really believe it? Can you n

There’s no surprise here is there? We, as a society, poison pretty much everything as a standard part of the agricultural process. The outcome -the goal - of that is of course, death of vast numbers of insects. Mission accomplished. It’s

It’s not spam for a recruiter to send an email to a developer. Spam is defined as “unsolicited bulk email”. Https://spamhaus.org/consumer/definition It’s a one off, not hulk, so recruiters emailing developer emails found

Why is this a big deal? Of course recruiters search public information. Learn to live with it. If your outrage threshold is this low then you’re going to spent all your life in a state of outrage. It’s nit even interesting let alone importa

So great strength of conviction except for self interest. This is exactly why it's a childish opinion that ignores the interconnectedness of our society. Advertising is baked in to the fabric of how our social systems work in an interc

I note the author is very much involved in companies projects and social media platforms that all depend on advertising. http://jacek.zlydach.pl/index.html I'd respect his position more if he was not on LinkedIn or Fac

People were offended by advertising in the same way in the 1970s. Advertising offendees will always be offended no matter where advertising sophistication is at.

Computers. And if you want to be pedantic, you'll say but they would exist for military etc!!!!! But if you're not being pedantic you'll agree that most stuff relating to computing exists in its current form in lockstep with

This is a dogmatic viewpoint I think often seen in very technical people who are unwilling to see the interconnectedness of how our society works. I bet there's any number of things this person values that simply wouldn't exist wi

Good to hear the politicians are focusing on the big issues of our time.

So why haven't all websites cut off these countries? Why haven't the ISPs cut off these countries? Github has acted because github is under the control of a giant corporation, Microsoft or otherwise. So there's a line that ru

Twitter didn't fail but it was on its knees for a long time due to poor architecture and technical capability in its early years.

This really is reason to start thinking about alternatives to github. Now the vast majority of open source projects are controlled by Microsoft corporation which must obey the US goverent and this is the outcome.

I know lots of Iranian people and they are universally kind generous lovely people. I hate the way Iran is demonized so politicians can point out an enemy. We were flat out lied to about Iraq. Demonization of Iran is no different.

So then would financial services companies not be allowed to offer tech services? And what, precisely, is a tech company? How is that unambiguously defined?

I went to a comedy show where the comedian ruthlessly mocked vegans. It was very funny. There's not many targets of mocking these days that are acceptable maybe vegans are one.

Firefox has lost its lead because it's lost the developers. Chrome has invested massively in developer tools for chrome and it's shows.... I think chrome is the best software ever written. The developer tools are so powerful that

So what are the alternatives for system programming? Rust, Golang? Any other true contenders?

So if oo uis so bad, exactly what is better? What should I be programming with?

It's incredibly weird that there's a war on drugs at exactly the same times as the corporations legally feed and profit from an opioid drug epidemic. Only in America could such a contradiction be possible.

It's a question to ask to weed out people who say "I'm a programmer" but a tually haven't written much code.
