Development at a glacial pace. Their product timeline and finances are not my concern, and it’s not everybody else’s responsibility to mitigate the risks of their product development. Lots of things in industry would develop much more quick

How about VW deliberately cheating emissions tests with their fuel injector code? You can be notably bad without being the worst.

Well, they need to act with integrity towards safety regulators, anyway. I wouldn’t say the auto industry, broadly, has the greatest reputation for integrity.

Reading on a new device I haven’t set up yet: man, that is one seriously obnoxious cookie rejection workflow. I’ll read about it somewhere else.

Being closed source doesn’t strike me as an effective mitigation tactic. You can already buy aftermarket ECUs and such, and it’s pretty unlikely the garage would install anything that would invade your privacy more than what the manufacture

It also really limits the ability of a lot of software. Design, including user interface design, is a communication medium— not even primarily aesthetics. I don’t blame people for not seeing the depth and complexity in fields they’re not in

Many professional typographers exist. Sometimes I am one. Most published type needs to be professionally typeset. The difference between a typical word document and a professional-quality document is far less about the software than it is a

Evil is a useless term unless you’re discussing fictional super villains or religion. If you think basic assistance is a Marxist utopia, well bud, I think you need to look utopia up in the dictionary and learn what Marxism is from a differe

Not all, but many of these concerns are drummed up by people that want to add every conceivable resistance to wealth redistribution possible, and the rubes that believe their fabricated justification. Drug testing for food and housing assis

Many developers also mistakenly think their mighty dev super brain genius powers make them capable of accurately evaluating and critiquing any profession. I’ve had many developers try to explain design to me, even knowing I’m an experienc

Probably a bit of both. What the commenter is describing is a textbook social proof tactic. "Hey, I like free stuff and taxes make me feel like a bit of a doofus, just like that guy. And like that guy, I see myself as the clever sort o

TNZ was one of my regular interactions. I regularly connected with some really competent, lovely folks over there. Especially compared to some (only some!) of the more "claws out" US customers, they were an absolute pleasure to wo

They’re using the word “bad” as shorthand for deviance, because people often view all deviance as bad. I can’t imagine someone going through adolescence without deviating from their own or other people’s expectations and learning something

I don’t think those payments should be private either, but they are. You can’t stop paying people because you think they should be publicly paid, if they’re not going to be publicly paid instead. And unless the content you consume is all ma

Where did I say these ideas shouldn’t be legislated? You can’t be “morally indifferent” if you’re engaging in activities that aren’t morally neutral. You’re just being indifferent to the fact that your actions aren’t moral. This isn’t compl

I know who JFK is— rad dude— but Wedge doesn’t ring a bell. I was in support though so my exposure to most of the dev crew was infrequent enough to make a lot of those memory recall threads pretty thin. I went to Dallas in 2006 to get the o

Not everybody equates automated scraping for training models and human experience. Just like any other “data wants to be free” type of discussion, the philosophical and ethical considerations are anything but cut-and-dried, and they’re far

I was wondering what it was. I only worked on Proviso out of Massachusetts so I never even touched anything that was Netcool proper.

Ha! I did support there for Proviso— the product of a startup that Micromuse had acquired not too long before the IBM acquisition. I started in between the acquisitions.

Weird to see some micromuse thing listed as the service listed for 1534. I worked for them back in like 2006 and we got eaten by IBM/Tivoli and I don't believe they kept the name for anything? I always knew nobody really updated t
