   Lucrative but not cool. There's no long term strategy if there's no new, category-defining, cool products. People will eventually sour on the same-old, same-old and expensive, fragile, unrepairable products. Excessive greed oblite

   I'm kind of sad it didn't wrap text off the viewport, change font sizes randomly to be tiny and not scale with browser zooming, and choose colors with low contrast.

   Pretty cool. Generally, drones for last mile front line resupply makes a lot of sense. I'm just wondering about the mobility challenges of charging points to keep drones going because bigger and more numerous drones will rapidly requir

   Yep. Sadly, it doesn't work as well on horrible rich people, even when they did literally rape children. It's like having money is insulation and grants privileges rather than noblesse oblige.

   That's just how people are. Most people are weak sheep and lack integrity. Milgram experiments proved it.

    Chief Bean Counter Cook doesn't do cool, goodwill, or long term strategy. Only making the same set of products incrementally better and more expensive, and increasingly prone to expensive repair.

    For almost every Doctorate except for a few who really want to become postdocs or somehow win the tenure lottery, there is a generally an economic disincentive to completing it.

    Jobs that need retries, atomicity, monitoring, rescheduling, ad hoc scheduling, and flexibility probably aren't suited to most cron servers. Beanstalkd, cronicle, agenda, sidekiq, faktory, celery, etc. are the usual suspects. What is o

    One anti-pattern at most MAANGs is too many senior people refuse to listen to ideas of others because their egos are too large. (Not unexpected when someone lives in a tiny corner of the company and is paid $500k-$1.5M TC.) They believe onl

    Toolbox vs. religious zealotry. Sometimes, one has to maintain .bat files, Tcl, F77, or COBOL. Professionals don't whine or wince, but do the job.

    Ruby does. Normalization of untrusted input isn't taught or discussed enough. Or each platform's regex security. Honestly, I think all CS/EE programs should require an OWASP course and that coding should require regular conti

    Then you're too focused on political concerns. Neoliberalism doesn't recognize political parties, it recognizes money. As Gore Vidal would say, the Property party.

    That's true. I was and am a nobody. I don't use social media and would have zero clout for any platform to help me with anything.

    Totally wrong strawman missing the bigger point. It's still a vague, misguided utopian ideology focused on helping the rich supposedly "overproduce" while doing nothing for everyone else. That's trickle-down economics 10

    Munching up VMware on-prem and AWS/GCP cloud, especially when they support Linux and Windows, it makes it less risky for megacorps to shift traditional non-webops, on-prem operations to them. What FOSS needs is saner and simpler type-
