Chattel slavery, where you were bound, by law, to your owner, under penalty of death. vs. My student loan payments are too high, I am having a hard time building my net worth. vs. Serfs is a different thing, not slaves, but still vastly wor

Slavery is a completely different situation than the ills of late-stage capitalism.

How can the World's Biggest Tire Graveyard hold only 7 million tires? Presumably they go through that many tires roughly every every year or two in Kuwait.

It's super common for embedded devices, and kernel development. Yeah compilers can mostly figure it out, but if you're really looking at the bits of a value, like in the example, you should operate on them bitwise, it's more

I don't understand the regional disparities in nurse pay. I know nurses in CA and TX that make close to $200k.

Everything in a computer is binary. An 8 bit char has 8 bits. Bitwise operators operate on those bits. So a char with value 253 is represented in memory as 11111101. Bitwise operator >> would shift all those 1s to the right, resulting

Any technical details on this? It better be like a dye-pak on a shirt I'm buying, and not like a John Deere tractor.

It is insane to me that kernel maintainers do not have build pipelines that automatically run for every PR. The computers should be checking formatting, basic compilation, testing, etc etc.

You just make it illegal to exchange fiat for crypto. Done.

Drain a company of managers, and the devs will self organize and save the company. Drain the company of devs, and the managers will desperately try to hire anyone to replace them. Devs are vastly, vastly, more important than management. Any

Log it all, and use network discovery and the legal process to access each new device? The main problem for the feds is that the data will be gone. Since it's not gone, they can use the legal process at their leisure.

Blue Origin seems like a space program. Whether "Amazon" owns it is kind of pedantic.

Outlaw crypto. Ransomware would go away overnight, the electricity would no longer be wasted, people could afford to play videogames again. The only downside is the collapse of a no-value asset bubble.

The one I see over and over is failing to trim the email before doing validation. This is especially egregious at account creation where you want no friction. Users enter their email with their smartphone, and it may append a space at the e

My problem with kotlin is not that it's not better, or not fun. It's that we have millions of lines of java code across hundreds of projects that will not be ported. Having to context switch in between maintaining projects is anot

Interesting that he didn't consider the speed of his consumers. Presumably a single consumer won't drink 2 cups of coffee at the same time, and the 2nd cup will grow cold. I'm sure there's something to his software analo

Project Lombok is my bae, but of course a language included API is better than an annotation processor.

Look I really don't care what their arrangements are. Can I get someone to drive me to the airport from an app? Great, I'll pay what it charges. If the law says they have to do X and Y for those workers, I expect those costs to be

I don't think supersonic cruise was a requirement. F35 has to use afterburners to get supersonic.

$100B and no more acquisitions, only organic growth. We may begin to see more dividends paid by these large firms that have nothing to do with their cash.

The Laffer Curve definitely applies here. Not sure if intentionally. 6 years of retroactive taxes due in one lump sum with punitive rates going forward can only lead to tax avoidance and a change in market behavior. https://en.wi

"Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do." Mark Twain. It sounds like you want to help other developers and set up CICD pipelines. Sounds like a DevOps type role?
