   "Information wants to be free" was always a pretty marginal part of the California Ideology[0]. The main difference between now and thirty years ago, is that now they're only "anti-statist" when the state tries to c

   They don't have intrusive ads because programmers "DGAF". They have intrusive ads because they need to juice their clickthrough metrics with dark patterns. Same with all the bad performance. Sometimes this may be a mistake bu

   This is the excuse Van Halen used much later after to explain his extreme princess behavior. I have never bought it. If you want to make sure the venue is set up right you probably need to send an electrician to check on it before your tour

   Every code path is an opportunity for a bug that escapes validation. Plus this particular example doesn't work with i18n. It would be more complicated in that case.

   This is the Californian Ideology in a blog post. The implication that title and intro mean to imply is working for companies that build products that are not evil and hostile to their users. But the call to action is to.. embed logic in the

    Yeah you weren't allowed to cite encyclopedias when I was a kid because: 1) encyclopedias are a tertiary source. They cite information collected by others. (Primary source: the actual account/document etc, Secondary source: books

    I can't help but think that the mass layoffs at Amazon will produce the same culture soon. And I wonder how much is downstream of Google "defeating" antitrust. It's open season for customers, employees, suppliers and con

    Is Adobe responsive to their customers? Maybe at one point a long time ago. But this just shows the folly of tying your professional life to proprietary tool chains. Adobe's business now is to suck any blood left in their customers&#x2

    Literally every conversation that I am in or hear about AI outside of tech circles (and most of them inside) are negative. Is there any technology in recent memory where the greator public has turned so universally against it?
