The Hyatt Regency disaster was not the equivalent of missing a semicolon, that makes it sound like an accident. Procedures were not followed. A load bearing component was modified without proper testing/analysis.

I think you are taking developers' choice in framework a bit too personally.

I went and read that today because of your comment. I found it interesting and frightening in a paradoxically mind bending kind of way. However, it did seem a bit unbelievable that 300 years into the technology and there were no safeguards

What a tired trope.

Does anyone choose to write this kind of software?

There are still many a+ employees who just want to build and learn. Follow the c++.

I also quit fb in 2017. A large part was the arrogant attitude shared by many of my young peers like OP. Another factor was the over-sweetened coolaid. Fb is not the end-all, be all. It's a great place, sure, but there are smart teams

People don't really care about pop celebrities, they might as well be fiction characters. If I were to make the same, rather tame, would-you-rather joke with a group of friends does that mean I 'make light' of domestic violen

Couldn't one argue that the oil and gas industry is on the way out itself? I know that may come off as a bit naive. My anecdotal experience leads me to believe that the oil and gas industry isn't exactly pushing the envelope techn

I never said SF was the only way to launch a career and tend to agree with you. Still, there is no denying the power of having a big name on your resume when looking for the next job.

You go to SF to launch your career then GTFO ASAP to a less 'enlightened' part of the US where you don't have to worry about hyper sensitivity and your dollar actually counts for something.

I think he may be making the point that the only real metric is salary.

I just switched our small company over to gitlab over the last couple weeks. So far the experience has been great. It seems like a really solid piece of software.

I think GP is making the point that Kary Mullis isn't really a notable psychedelic explorer - just some scientist that took a large dose LSD. If you read into some of the notable figures of the psychedelic movement you will learn that

It's also funny that the author mentions Ram Dass who tells the tale of tripping on LSD for several weeks at a time in his book 'Be Here Now. In his biography 1000ug is painted as child's play for some of the early explorers.

I also remember tuning PID values on the old Jaguar motor controllers. It was not a pleasant or particularly fruitful experience.

> Would have not gotten the backlash it's getting if the author was a bit modest and titled the repo... The anime avatar also adds to his credibility.

I really don't understand why Dropbox is trying so hard to be more than they are - A file syncing service. That's all anyone wants out of them. They sync files, that's all they do, and they do it well. No one wants them to be

The sad part is that Patreon has to backtrack and apologize so aggressively. I read the email the other day while sitting on the toilet and thought nothing of it. Was there any actual blowback or just a couple of loud mouths on Twitter that

It's worth noting that other countries would be free to copy the technology. At some point the government may intervene.

That's not related at all.

Yes, this programmable credit card for developers is exactly what the low-tech, third-world is looking for.

You do realize Newton's laws had to be amended less than 100 years ago to make room for the newly discovered subtleties of nature, right?

These are for learning and rapid prototyping. A raspberry pi hardly teaches anything about embedded systems compared to kits like this.

What an awkward monetization scheme. Seriously, this is why you passed up x billion dollars? Should've taken the money and tried to actually help the world. Silicon Valley greed and delusion at it's finest.
