Believable false information has always spread and always will. I grew up in a rural city and was taught to believe that jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams, aliens were real and the government was hiding them, farms were being oppressed by l

Free speech is hard when you watch George Floyd get murdered, anti-racism takes a huge leap at censorship against Trump (and labeling is a form of censorship), and then you’re left justifying why Trump’s horrible message should be left unto

Or even crazier thought, he figured it was a good idea and then rethought it out when the HN backlash happened.

Such a good point. I had a small existential crisis watching programmers on YouTube/Twitch because I was focusing on the sounds of the keyboard typing and realizing that they are sitting in front of a screen typing for hours on end and

I think stop paying attention to the hate is the best thing to do. There is a mindset right now to think of these problems as completely technical ones, I.e. “it’s easy to do server validation and anyone who doesn’t do it is a dumbass”, but

Ha right this is very meme worthy and often repeated here. Facebook has 10K engineers working on a site and all of that effort is wasted and represents a huge failure of effort. Same thing for Twitter and all these other social media sites.

The thing is, that’s totally alright too! I don’t think we should realistically expect everyone bothered by it to quit.. our current environment doesn’t support this ideology. The disgusting thing is when Brad posted a PR piece that avoided

Interestingly Brad just proved Tim Bray's point by stroking his own ego and only talking about processes that Amazon is introducing in response to COVID-19 - instead of talking about the worker being fired for raising concerns about th

Actually with another FAANG offer L3 can pull that salary if they compete hard enough

by fsociety 7y ago
Not really, it's important to understand that directly translating like that loses its meaning. Chinese can tend to be very dramatic.. for example if you are waiting in line at the restaurant an employee may come out and tell you that

Perhaps there is a case once you learn AWS and GCP that they are similar in UX. But as a developer who doesn't typically deal with cloud deployments I found that setting up a GCP instance with all the security features (specifically ne

Yeah people don't want to see Facebook improve and become beneficial. They want to see it burn and die. It's worse now that tech is more about dogmatism as it becomes more popular. The reality is they have a lot to improve, and th

Are you working at the same company as me? I just jumped ship to somewhere else with high pay and promises of working with a complex low-level codebase - this is my skill set after all - as it turned out I'm writing unit tests in Pytho
