It’s not a straw man. There is a substantial faction that believes in the dream of replacing traditional trust based society with trustless executable contracts. Those people discount just how much underlying social stability matters, and

You have to do your own thing ... usually that's bad advice but for people with the temperament you describe I think it's reasonable. Also a lot depends on expectations and finding good partners. In a previous job I worked with a

Remote working has definitely exacerbated the problem. Your latest role probably sees you as experienced and therefore requiring less hand holding. One good way to get up to speed that I've seen is to say "there is no good onboar

Maybe you're onto something. Assuming your intent is to obtain information from a captured enemy at all costs, an implant like this is probably far more humane than waterboarding or actual torture.

There are a lot of gradations between "guilty" and "not guilty" in our system, some of them very unpleasant. For example, the author experienced involuntary exile while technically "not guilty." Many employers

Boils down to "people are not equal." Which is true, of course, and immediately obvious if you've ever met, studied or worked with any people.

He is using a novel templating library, novel HTTP server, novel JS diffing algorithm ... and this approach has generated more questions than any other on this thread so clearly it is unfamiliar to much of the audience.

I'm really impressed at how many people have come back with critiques or suggestions about your architecture without actually even knowing what your app does! So, what does it do?

The article correctly diagnoses what he did wrong: he capitulated to the mob. He should never have apologized.

You either failed to read the article, or worse, read it and wilfully misrepresented it. Username fits.

For AI projects you should really consider a remote machine, like hosting Jupyter on an AWS box or something, rather than downloading everything to your RV.

Worth sharing this thread around your company, maybe? Could help with convincing people that there are negative marketing consequences to careless and seemingly harmless decisions.

I don't think the analogy works so well ... programming and exercise are very different. Once you're not a beginner, programming mostly becomes about the specific domain youre working on, rather than the code. So improvement come

The problem is that your hobbies are not hobbies, they are just more work. If you could pick something to do after work that is not TV, and that you WOULD feel like getting up and doing, what would that be? Maybe a game of tennis with a fr

I love the direction of this, we definitely need government to have more skin in the game. But I think it's pretty hard to trust the settlement process of these futures. Presumably anyone with a large enough position would want to inf

Why would a Native American feel prospect feel more comfortable talking to a Native American employee? I think that's the cringey stuff parent comment is complaining about.

Your article seemed to be about economic inequality, but was attributed as racial inequality (most of the other comments here identified this too). That misattribution is why I thought it might be an example of the "other racism tax&qu

I think this article unwittingly speaks to a different "black tax": this person is going to assume that racism is the reason his company didn't get funded. One good reason for suggesting a friends and family round is network

Can you give a specific example? I always hear about this systemic racism, but I don't really know what that means.

It is terminology from Critical Race Theory, which is an ideology whose basic premise is that all white people, irrespective of their actual behavior or beliefs, perpetrate racism against everyone else. "Self-aware" refers to whit

Very misleading title makes it sound like they are rewriting all code wholesale - in fact it's a targeted performance rewrite of a smallish component.

Also, panics can be caught, and now that ppl write a lot of async code, many panics do get caught by default. So it's just a Java RuntimeException now, buried deep inside the dependency tree layers down..

I am the latest in a chain of noobs in this thread, but I think what you're talking about is handled by clock cycles. Components use the clock to gate the flow of information down lanes.
