A lot of people with credentials join the grift train, yes. Apparently it's quite profitable. Listing many of them isn't really an argument that the grift is true.

Is this a new technique where you put COVID denialism into an otherwise good comment? Does it have a name?

All that a state does is convince people. States don't really exist. They're fictional constructs that sometimes convince a police officer to break into a murderer's home and kidnap him. And most of us agree that's a goo

Luckily this is much less the case in Australia - or pretty much any developed country. It's still somewhat the case, but the propaganda in schools outside of the USA is much less than the propaganda on social media.

¿Por que no los dos? Current social media is terrible for children (and everyone, but we let adults drink and smoke) - this is known. They've been told many times they need to change or they'll get banned. They have not. This is

Different unit tests work on different state. One unit test says that if I start from a blank database, add two users, now there are two users. A different unit test says that if I start from a database with two users, and list the users,

I suspect they should say "this machine is not confidential" and have good reasons for that - you can't just impose extra restrictions on your employees just because you want to . The law (as executed) will weigh the normal

The legal default assumption seems to be that you can use your work laptop for personal things that don't interfere with your work. Because that's a normal thing people do.

That's probably because there is no answer. Many laws apply to the total thing you are creating end-to-end. Even the most basic law like "do not murder" is not "do not pull gun triggers" and a gun's technical r

When throughput I create 9999999999 accounts each sending 99999999 transactions per second, something is going to prioritize which transactions to include in the chain. If you don't choose intentionally, you will choose unintentional

I don't understand your defense of Instagram. It's not even a very good defense. The fact that Facebook removed the code as soon as they were caught means they also think they would be in serious trouble. Unauthorized use of a com

Many programmers tend to treat the legal system as if it was a computer program: if(form.is_public && form.contains(private_health_records)) move(form.owner, get_nearest_jail()); - but this is not how the legal system actually works

It has to have a good purpose. Obviously there are a lot of words written about what constitutes a good purpose. Antivirus is probably one. Wanting to intimidate your employees is not. The same thing applies to security cameras. Privacy law

I remember there was once a guy who just went around fixing potholes with no official authorization or anything (he did it properly), and I think he got arrested but then released with a warning.

That's why SSPL was created. People working in tech companies have expressed extreme vitriol for SSPL - I wonder why. The SSPL isn't the best designed license, but it is "more AGPL than AGPL"

Also, "open source" is not free software.

We have a machine that turns requirements into code. It's called a compiler. What happened to programming after the invention of the compiler?

What they were caught doing was opening some local port via TCP sockets (let's say localhost:9000) and then advertisements would connect to localhost:9000 to add themselves to your advertising profile even if you were in a private brow

In Europe they prefer not to go to jail for privacy violations. It turns out most of these "communist" regulations are actually pretty great.

Also stop fucking arresting people for living in unapproved locations or building structures that don't cost enough money, as long as they're not actually in the way of anyone. Like, don't arrest people for sleeping under bri

The problem is that everyone is reading Instagram. I don't understand why. I made an account recently in order to access a specific thing. I can confirm the app is 100% pure garbage. The home feed is garbage and navigation is awful (to

If you have an icon next to every entry and they all look the same on first glance, you don't have visual anchors.

We don't need light mode and dark mode if we just set our monitor brightness correctly. It seems some monitors now assume dark mode - only the very lowest brightness setting isn't blinding.

Your test fixtures are introducing tighter coupling between the tests, than the code they are testing! In this scenario (a mock DB with data that a test relies on, which is incompatible with a new test you want to add), duplicating the fixt

Windows 95 really was peak UI. IIRC that standard was to put the toolbar icon next to any menu item that was also a toolbar button. Otherwise, don't put one.
