I thought this was going to be satire. Software engineer job titles are already pretty bogus (Senior Principal Distinguished Engineer, anyone?), and the AI trend has only created more jobs with nebulous descriptions around "doing AI&qu

Attempts to reduce human experience down to a single number always seem so wrong-headed. A common one is when articles say "billions of dollars of productivity wasted to X". As if you can just replace any human activity for any hu

You're falling victim to the Gambler's Fallacy - it's like saying "the coin just flipped heads, so I choose tails, it's unlikely this coin flips heads twice in a row". Realistically they have to draw from a sma

I'm sure everyone is doing just fine financially, but I think it's common knowledge that these kind of comp packages are usually a mix of equity and cash earned out over multiple years with bonuses contingent on milestones, etc. T

It's giving "Samsung fake moon". If generative AI is going to make up details why bother zooming in, you could just ask to make up a whole AI slop picture.

In northern North America forced-air natural gas is pretty for single family homes. You have a gas furnace that blows heated air through ducts. It's supposed to be relatively inexpensive compared to electric baseboards, presuming you h

It sounds like they were putting these processes in a chroot jail or something and not allowing them to access the parent process env vars. There's a continuum of ways to isolate child processes in Linux that don't necessarily inv

There's absolutely people who don't believe in any psychiatric medication, either for religious or just pseudo-scientific reasons. Look at how harshly the United States has treated marijuana users compared to smokers and alcoholic

The industry is really trying to make "the computer cannot be held responsible" a feature instead of a bug. Sure the machine very confidently lies about dangerous things, but you shouldn't trust it. But you should employ it t

I'm opposed to medically assisted dying but based on your use of "death panels" I'm assuming you come at it from a different perspective. How is a "death panel" different from businesses deciding who gets food

1x setups have negated a lot of this. My wife does not enjoy bicycling and we got her a cruiser, it is very simple for her to understand "click up for harder, click down for easier".

The sad thing is that the trend is towards homogeneity and cutting costs. Local pubs in the UK have been rolled up by a few large chain operators. Likewise in this story small family grocery stores and being replaced by chain supermarkets.

I follow this methodology but I just ... use git? The hard part of making multiple small PRs is usually wrangling someone to actually review them, or following whatever process management has decided is necessary.

The experience of "socialized hospitals" since the 1980s is also biased by the neoliberal push to cut everything to the bone and then justify privatization. The NHS and provincial healthcare in Canada are two examples where they&#

I can't tell how facetious this is, but food is a human right. The government running grocery stores in food deserts or to avoid predatory behaviour from chains exploiting poor people is totally reasonable. This is something cities in

Remember that the robotaxi industry is currently doing everything they can to look good. They are being watched like hawks. Look at how everyone was horny for Uber rides, until Uber needed to actually make money so they jacked up fares, cut

I was an early Golang dev and people were _crazy_ with channels for a couple years. I remember the most popular Golang Kafka client was absolute spaghetti of channels and routines. It's never been "safe C" because it's g

Agreed. As a comparison Golang was sold as "CSP like Erlang without the weird syntax" but people realized channels kind of suck and goroutines are not really a lot better than threads in other languages. The actual core of OTP was

There's a level of economic coercion involved though as well - "going pro" is only possible by pushing for riskier and riskier stunts. If you want to get paid to ski, skateboard, etc you need to be doing increasingly extreme

Who's getting these services now? The people with the most money. You can't just extrapolate any technology out and say "one day it'll be cheap", this is a labour-intensive process. MRI machines are not getting Moor

I'm assuming for stuff like mining and oil fields most of the cost is having people on site to service the equipment, not just operating the equipment. You need the robot that can service the other robots, and then the robot that can s

This happens at every level of society. It's over 100 degrees where I live today. That would have been exceptional 20 years ago, but now it's normal. I have air conditioning in my house, I have air conditioning in my car. The home

I haven't had a lot of success so far in getting a diagnosis, there's a lot of different possible things that can be wrong. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is one place to start. I'm seeing an allergist about MCAS, I've had lim
