This is not a good article. It basically thinks about the employer in Marxist-like ways (class relations, owner of means of production etc). Within the legal framework, here is what you have to do: whatever your employer asks you to do. No,

Not only 21st century. While we've seen brutal dictatorships in the past, we've never seen one with access to 21st century technology to further their goals. The old dictatorships could only be so efficient, but the scale and soph

Does the statement make no sense or you simply don't like it? I can understand what it says, sounds like plain English to me. I think that what you're trying to say is that before claiming to be a "drop-in replacement"
1834.
by glimshe 3y ago
It's a drop-in replacement in the sense that you don't need to modify your code. But it has limitations/incompatibilities. Contrast to something that isn't a drop-in replacement... That would require changes to the appli

In TFA, replace every instance of "crypto" by "fraud" and see how the article reads perfectly right. Like "fraudcurrencies", "Fraud King" etc.

California emigrants often think they are the most important person in the room in other US states too, especially in the US South. "I'm from KAH-LEE-FOOOR-NEEA!" God forbid something isn't done like in California, even

It's actually pretty simple. Like many "innovations" in the past several years, alignment means profitable for founders and investors, and whatever enables a small minority to reach unthinkable levels of productivity, wealth

I had just one sentence in my original message about Cuban immigrants, my writeup was not about them in particular. It was just an example of one of the things I was saying, basically that I know that many Cuban immigrants wanted to reject

If you think that Buddhist monks have some good points, do you need to go live in a remote monastery? Kaczynski's critique can make us think about the extremes of modern life; it can encourage us to step back a little and live in more

That's why we need "piracy". The "pirate" movement is the only reliable way to protect our cultural heritage against politics and copyright.

> You mean like a human teacher? This reminded me of one of my teachers who said that Cuba was a great place to live and the rest of Latin America should be more like them. She was essentially a communist who painted the old Soviet Union

Speed, responsiveness, uncluttered UI. I AM AMAZED that the average Pascal program of the day compiled faster on my old 386 than the average program compiles today in the latest and greatest workstation. Also don't get me started on cl

This just reminds me something I bring up to my development team. The point of software is to serve humans, to make their lives better. You should avoid spending time solving problems created by yourself, the programmer. I think about this

I'm not sure that America presents itself as a "bastion of...lean government with minimum taxes". It's so obviously not true that I'd like to see any statement from the US government in front of International forums

It's not fate, it's simply randomness. You can be brilliant, put in the effort and still fail miserably, but your chances are nonetheless much higher than people who don't put in the effort or are unintelligent.

Next version will be 40% garbage. Then 30%, then 20%... And we got to the point where it has as much garbage as human code.

LOL, what can I say? I've been to most of the activities I mention recently. Meetups where most attendants are women (went to one last month), sports with groups of women in the crowd in the past 6 months... Even a cruise with my wife

+1 for poor writing. I tried to read it after hearing recommendations and being interested in the idea of Sci-fi happening outside of the US. I got bored halfway through the first volume and dropped it.

Completely agree. If they are going to remove deadweight, Google's leaders must be the first to go. My friends have been telling me about these inefficiencies for years and they have done nothing about it. Google has one of the great

Nothing to see here, folks. All big tech companies have similar nonsense, "objective" performance review processes.

Some people are just smarter than others - much smarter. These engineers have their brains wired differently, helping them be more suited to programming/design work. If we accept the existence of 10x chess players (state champions) and

I've managed many "10x" engineers. They do exist. These engineers I'm thinking about not only are amazingly productive but solve problems average engineers can't solve no matter how much time you give them. Their so

I suggest that you read about the history of NATO in detail. It was originally created as a way to defend Western Europe from a possible future aggression from the Soviet Union. Wikipedia even says [1]: "The treaty was created with an

There is a lot of goodness in this article. I can see why many people don't enjoy the style, but its essence is inspiring and positive. You don't need to risk bankruptcy to follow the article's main idea, which is to try to u

Isn't internet access at your fingertips a form of transhumanism? So maybe it's ok, people do indeed "know" more in an objective sense.
