Murder is still murder. Whether it’s done in person or through a screen. IANAL.. I know current US computer crime laws are extremely broad and ill-defined. Curious to hear opinion from someone who actually knows some law.

You’d be surprised in the variety in how people eat food. I know some people that roll a pizza slice (from crust to center) to eat it. Blasphemous, and inspiring.

Not OP, but here’s what I think they mean: if you want to eat healthier then get rid of all the junk food in your home. Only buy healthy food. No more deciding between health and unhealthy. You made the choice for your future self by changi

That’s awesome! I want to do the same if I start a company. Indeed quarterly earnings make people think short term, disregard long term. Focus on growth above all else

Yup. Plain and simple. I won’t purchase or use anything Elon Musk does. Bad behavior and corroding society needs to be met with social disapproval.

Well said. I’m in the same boat of being on the fence about python. I’ve been burned too many times in the past. And even if uv was perfectly solves all of our woes, it still seems worse than languages that solve packaging and deployment wi

Mint is probably around 0.05% of desktop/laptop users. I think root comment is looking at the overall picture of what all customers can get for their money, and see it getting worse. This wasn’t mentioned, but it’s a new thing for ever

Wow, this is great, unlocks lots of freedom. I was under the impression that this was not possible, maybe through web components or <slot>. As a side note, I’ve been going through all the HTML elements slowly to learn the fundamentals

Go is much more approachable. Small set of features, easy to pick up quickly. Good for beginners and for teams to work together in. Rust and Zig have much much more depth. There are definitely scenarios where Go is the good choice. For exam

Executives like that make me daydream about different ways to build medium/large organizations that put executives on the bottom (or not have any) and engineers on top. These little lords of small fiefdoms make my skin crawl

Very well written, thank you. I recently was very sick and was thinking about the people whose employers put their work output over their health.

Is this sarcasm? Dismissing concerns of issues that affect people today with the promise of some solution that may or may not happen to the degree you think it may address the real problems of today is really not cool. On other note, Chic

Why so long? If AI had such obvious gains, why not accelerate that timeline to 6 months? Take the average time to make a simple app, divide by the supposed productivity speed up, and this should be the time we see a wave of AI coded apps. A

A bit more nuanced: nobody is using tools that have a perceived negative value. People pushing AI desperately want to convince us the value is positive. 10x productivity! Fire all your humans! In reality, depending on the use-case, the valu
