TripleByte once told me it was aiming to becoming “the hiring division for Google, Apple and all of big tech” As a mere jobseeker in the pipeline, I wasn’t sure if the representative understood the reality of recruiting. To me, the ambition

Labeling the past year as a "troll" is one way to deal with the pain of failure. For the previous maintainers and moderators, giving up on managing Rust and being sidelined from Rust's leadership must have been painful. But i

It'd be awesome to hear the real narrative around the infighting of Rust's former maintainers and moderators. So far, I've just been watching the sparks fly from the outside. Like your resignation note where the Core Team was

In addition to the other comments, the errors you noted is a signal that the author didn’t have editors/peers who cared enough to spot basic mistakes.

This is correct. The arguments for taboo-ing the word "no" seem to be rooted in conflict aversion. Powerless people fear pushback and powerful people fear taking a stand.

The ignorance about dark patterns is partially innocent and partially motivated. Some people cannot believe that their favorite kind of company (OSS, for example) would ever lie to them; the thought of it is too painful to bear. Or they can

Great takedown in the linked thread. jhardy54 snarks that the author just needs to open a patch. When rsync presses, it turns out jhardy54's own patches have been completely neglected by the maintainers and he hasn't been able to

The GP appears to have been shadow banned for stirring flame wars like accusing Bill Gates of being a pedophile. The username is a bit of a tell.

Blaming the followers for not reading the docs is an easy excuse, when the real problem is that the leaders have failed to define Python. The PSF needs to decide what precisely Python is and what it isn't among themselves. Because they

I think anyone can see something is wrong upstairs, man. If that sounds like trolling, I'm sorry. It sucks that HN is your only contact with the real world and I hope you can find something to worship besides Elm/Evan.

This is starting to sound unhinged. You're identifying strongly with Evan but you're also denying how deeply he matters to you. That seems mentally unhealthy. Are you ok?

Bugs stemming from the architecture of a poorly specified system become insecurities for the people who rely on that system. One of the major reasons why Python’s leadership refused to optimize python’s performance, besides Guido’s intransi

The author didn't point fingers at anyone. He was explicit that the investigators will do the job of finding out the "why". His tone is entirely appropriate given that, if the FedEx operators had not went above and beyond, we

There's two other comments in this thread that were posted before yours, with links outlining Tether's restrictive ToS. You should probably read them instead of doubling down on a weird half-position.

Interesting that the top comment of the thread you posted attempts to minimize Adani's culpability. It reminds me when the FTX story broke Coindesk and was posted to HN. The top commenter there was trying to convince everyone there&#x2

Intentionally having another kid right before being jailed for 11 years is selfish. If that isn’t obvious, you’re welcome to ask. When the kids grow up, just ask them how they feel about the kind of abandonment that you and Elizabeth Holm

Assuming “there’s no reason to be concerned” about the unborn children of a high profile, convicted criminal is awfully naive. In the real world, good parents don’t abandon their kids at birth. They also don’t defend criminals who abandon t

Correct, the keyword is respect. Apache is a modern label to describe various groups of Native Americans, who were on the verge of being conquered and colonized by an expanding empire. Like your quote says, Apache shares a similar, albeit l

This article is pretty shallow. Despite the interesting title, the author is lukewarm on Rust, hasn’t used Rust that much, and hasn’t explored the space of C replacement OSS. Not enough expertise for an insight; it feels half “go with the f

Agreed. I see a lot of true believers in management, particularly following the overgrowth of 2021. Their logic is that their managers can't be wrong, because their managers hired them. If their managers are wrong, then the true believ
