"boilerplate SQL" is an oxymoron... Literally every pro-ORM dev that I've ever worked with was so incredibly weak with basic SQL fundamentals that I must conclude that they preferred ORMs simply due to a reluctance to learn S

Does the ORM still write horrendous cursor based loops where simple joins would suffice?

This is true because a large portion of working people live in poverty in the U.S. This reflects poorly on our human-jackal employers that extract wealth from the labor of the poor (Walmart, Amazon... restaurant chains, etc.).

No, this is not “agile”. This is what agile critics think agile is...

In my experience, c level folks just want someone who can produce a dashboard or executive report with a bunch of green check marks that basically say “yay! We’re secure”. They don’t care about the why, how, if the check marks are actually

Nothing prevents one from taking a more passive “buy and hold” approach on Robinhood - these articles critical of Robinhood seem to conflate Robinhood as a brokerage platform and poor investing discipline... it has nothing to do with the br

You’re completely ignoring the fact that protest and speech are exactly how things change in a free democratic society. Try that in China and you’re likely to find yourself in a “re-education” (concentration) camp. It’s not apples to apples

I just had an iPad Air replaced with zero misery on my end; reported the problem to apple via support chat, tried basic troubleshooting with support tech to no avail, promptly received paid mailer, sent device to Apple and was then overnigh

Or, maybe American’s have grown tired of educating state sponsored (China) students whose sponsors quite literally seek to exfiltrate knowledge from U.S. academia and industry. Do you think I as an American would be welcome to attend a Chin

Maybe Microsoft is less averse to complexity - which would still make uptime degradation land squarely on Microsoft’s shoulders. Microsoft seems to be an organization that actually introduces too much complexity to their products imo.

Yeah, all of those people. What makes an idea “crappy”? You know you can disagree with ideas that offend you, right?

So it’s okay that a Twitter mob had him removed from his previous more senior position?

So if you believe something to be a fact and supported by scientific research, and that fact is offensive to someone or a group if people, then you can be “cancelled”? American academia is in trouble.

The Larry Nassar case exposed major cultural issues within the MSU administration. Is this treatment of Steve Hsu the pendulum swinging in the extreme opposite direction, or out of control woke-ism?

Agreed, It doesn’t seem appropriate for info-sec people to be making decisions about what which risks to mitigate, ignore, etc. They should provide input into that process though. We struggled to even get the CIO and CEO to acknowledge and

I follow your reasoning... but no, that wasn’t the case here. A number board members of this org fought for and succeeded in getting increased investment in a true info-sec program due to years of very lax security culture and a series of i

I left a high pay info-sec position at a large insurance corporation for this very reason. CIO trumped CISO (fractional) on literally every security issue that was surfaced - and worse yet the CIO and CEO refused to acknowledge the risk bei

The closure obsession in Swift is really off putting. The amount of indirection in the language is frustrating and seems to be there due to an FP zealot somewhere in the language design team at Apple.

We need competition among browser vendors to prevent/discourage these abuses. Chrome is becoming IE of the early 2000s. I switched to FireFox ~2 years ago and couldn’t be happier.

So why build an app? iOS/iPadOS users have Safari too.
