Privacy over secrecy is an alright goal, but the rest of it sounds like consultant double-talk. In theory, "eliminating secrets" means the manager listening to the report's reservations and addressing them effectively. In pra

The Chief Marketing Officer of Coinbase said they collaborated with Accenture, an Ads Agency, to produce the ad: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6899028... You have the people who worked on th

Particularly, why brag about doing it in-house when your own CMO has credited outside agencies? https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6899028... It makes the CEO look weak, stupid, and petty.

More complex but still deceitful. Coinbase's own CMO gave credit to that ads agency, which the CEO of Coinbase did not acknowledge until he was criticized: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:

Yeah, word salad is a good smell for self-deception.

Agreed. The backlash to the OP's article reeks of religion. A few AI zealots pushing the burden of proof upon their naysayers under the pretense of science. Meanwhile, actual science is far closer to basic concepts like: https:/&

I wouldn’t worry about the word games. The person who accused you of toxicity seems just to be looking for an easy target to attack. The other commenters are simply rationalizing lazy, snarky misbehavior.

If anything, the GP feels unpleasant for trying to present its parent comment in the worst possible light, in an overly snarky tone.

It sounds like you haven't used Deno in a large project before. Which is weird because you're started by saying "in practice" or "I've found", but later switched to abstract "what if's".

I'd be careful about taking that particular author's interpretation of management literature at face value. His understanding of High Output Management (a seminal book by the CEO of Intel) was so flawed that the CEO of Dropbox

It's pretty common for manager-types to say one opinion offhandedly and then, when others judge them, to say the opposite opinion and pretend they held the same opinion all along. In this case, the GP realized a little late that being

On the contrary, it sounds like a cover-up. Looking into the Github Issues, every-time someone does demonstrate data loss, the admins ignore it, argue it isn't data loss, or in one case, claim that the person who showed data loss is a

The CEO's statements come across as insulting to anyone who isn't blinded by founder worship. I'm saying this as someone who did not even know about dgraph before today. Presuming the GP must be a disgruntled employee becaus

Is it actually equivalent? I know the SQL is compiled from Malloy but I imagine the handwritten version, with comments, would look better in comparison.

I can believe it. The PSF and its hanger-ons have historically fulminated against improving CPython performance at the cost of complexity in the implementation language. They've caused flamewars on HN in the past, though Guido's r

You're confusing "action" with "outcome". Yes, OLPC generated a lot of buzz, and created a cryptocurrency-like hype machine. Yes, OLPC was probably very friendly to you when you were working right alongside them in

I agree. There's a kind of social-transactional element to Open Source that people don't like to talk about. Like, chasing clout instead of dollars. If you're a committed maintainer who writes a lot of packages and sacrifices

A little sharp but I think you're onto something. It feels like those writers want to be even-handed when describing Africa: talk about the ills and then extend goodwill. The problem is that, because they don't know what they&#x27

By "easily", you mean "lazily". It's one thing to assume the comment is irrational, it's another thing, and even lazier thing, to assume that the commenter hates on success or enjoys trolling. It must be uncomf
