I mean, this is also Martin Fowler, a luminary in the field. His site should be able to handle the HN hug of death, particularly if he's bashing the latest-and-greatest tools. As is, he looks like an old man shouting about cars being

Yes, I know its real news. I am speaking to the title. It's always "The Houthis did this" or "Houthi-controlled areas do X". They need to just stop promoting alternative facts and call it Yemen.

Government investment works. That's why America's billionaires are mostly just people stealing as much of it as they can.

You're right, but that GitHub is dead. Also, the former stewards of that open source goodness sold it to Microsoft for a cheap buck. Any goodwill they earned has been spent.

Get rid of their highest-paid employees, replace them with off-shoring and AI. Eventually the fact that the US military and government is getting tech support from overseas will catch up. Microsoft is a walking national security disaster.

This would have been obvious to anyone following the war in Vietnam, even. The Iranians have explicitly tweeted: "For years, we've been awaiting the Americans' entry into the designated points, and for over two decades, we&#x

I suspect every generation has multiple Einsteins, but they're probably getting killed in war zones or crushed under oligarchy.

The US intentionally created the ATC shortage. From Wikipedia: The PATCO Strike of 1981 was a union-organized work stoppage by air traffic controllers (ATCs) in the United States. The Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO

I was getting a haircut last week and chatting about our kids with the stylist, who said (basically): "I just started letting my 7 year old on Roblox. I know its full of pedophiles. I told him to come to me or his older brother if an

We are feeding children to the wolves to boost quarterly Big Tech numbers. Society is breaking down in part because of it. America would be a nicer place if Mark Zuckerberg went to prison.

It's not about fads. It's just collusion. American markets have largely consolidated into oligopolies, where just a handful of very large companies operate. It's extremely easy for them to wink at each other and then raise pr
