Anecdata, but watching the Waymo cars compared to Cruise (preban) was night and day. Before Cruise was banned in SF, I would often see them violate traffic laws and fail to navigate basic intersections. Waymo isn't perfect, but its bet

It feels like people talk about Ruby like how people talked about Perl 5 when Ruby was fresh. As much as we laud software that is "done," it seems like any language that fails to evolve is soon eclipsed. Yeah there was Perl 6, but

There are a bunch of AI based screeners out there that do this. They look for specific words, but also overall phrasing and tone. I think they have the same pitfalls and any other LLM app. You can also hire a resume writer but I am dubious

Honest question, are articles like this propaganda to make people accept less than ideal working conditions? I feel like I am constantly inundated by posts like this. Never do I see anything to contradict it. There is no real conclusion or

I think the Factorio equivalent would be more like licensing chip designs. It doesn’t have the same false scarcity as other games.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head on why I would rather “waste” time in Factorio than program at my enterprise SWE job. Because it’s closer to being a historian than a builder.

Is it ironic that someone specialized in ethics would have a son so adept in using them to his advantage? Seems like a natural conclusion to me. Effective altruism seems like a weaponization of morals to support wealth hoarding.

Does banning ransom payments really work? It just seems to create a service industry to pay on ransomed’s behalf.

There is another very famous leader on trial for exactly that right now.

Recruiters don't call up a business and just ask "how was X at their job?" They are given a list of referrals by the candidate. I am talking about situations where a toxic boss may say negative things for personal reasons. Cu

Something like this wouldn't even be legal in many areas, because employers are limited on the information they can share about employees beyond employment status. That is why referrals are person based and not company based. Also you

This game is definitely the spiritual successor of Supreme Commander and Total Annihilation. Funny thing, SupCom was almost 20 years ago, and it was was a successor of something only 10 years prior.

Replaced? I'm pretty sure for the majority of smartphone users, it is their first computer. You have to be above 25 and and live in a developed nation for you to have had a PC before a smartphone.

From a report's perspective, success of a 1:1 is if you feel like your manager is an ally or not. If your manager is willing to give you information, listen to your problems, say things a bit too spicy for public settings, and escalate

The button appears to be hover only, which bad. On top of that, it expands content down to show the chapters, but if you move over and then down (instead of down then over), you exit the hover area and it closes. There are no visual indicat

Are all decedents rich, or just a small fraction? Even if a family line has been continued for hundreds of years, there may be hundreds or even thousands of decedents of the original members who do not have access to the line of wealth. Als

Another way to think about it is that UTC is a combination of UT1 and TAI. It’s kept within 1 second of UT1 and is always a fixed integer offset from TAI. TAI is an absolute time based on atomic vibrations. UT1 is a relative time based on a

Agreed, but that wasn’t my comment at all. I trust 100 Nobel laureates as much as “9 out of 10 dentists.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease

I would agree LaRouche was a crackpot, but what does he have to do with golden rice? I’m genuinely confused by this comment.

I can understand the general distaste of GMOs, especially in impoverished countries. Often they are used a mechanism of market capture, and ties farmers to larger international regulations and obligations in which they have little to no pow

So this is coming from Microsoft. I assume it’s going to be their answer to graphql. If the project is dogfooded internally, the tools may actually be half decent, compared to whatever an open source consortium cobbles together. Not sold ye

I still use WSDLs, or rather the platform I work on does. Maybe not popular for new tech but they are still alive. Hate me, but I’d rather have generated xml than generate yaml.
