That is true, at least if you trust leaked discussions, however, this isn't an isolated example of Elon's leadership in action. All the points about the ideological captivity of Twitter employees are secondary to repeated behavior

We shouldn't assume everyone lives in California. They're giving general advice.

Thanks, this was illuminating. Ironically, from his website: > In general, I hope to contribute to a world where we value skills and relationships over careers and money, where we know better than to trust cops or politicians, and where

Honestly not what I expected to hear about Moxie. Any more tales that back this up? If this line of behavior is true then I think it's time to move on.

It took me three months to go through tech interviews. I'd say that's cutting it close.

Maybe to some degree, but it's not all that different. The way I look at it, for that job and one other, was that I was underqualified, came with a built-in tax break, and preferential resume review. It's still a form of affirmati

Former military. I had been programming prior to being in the military, but after getting out nobody really wanted to hire me. My skills weren't really relevant any more, so I don't blame them. A couple firms ended up giving me a

I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I'm white, not a woman, and I've been (almost certainly) a diversity hire. In some ways, someone arbitrarily opening the door for you sheds a lot of load in the short-term. You still

I run my own personal infrastructure. Most of what it takes is to research secure setups from the beginning. You don't have other users so upgrades aren't painful. Frankly what I find most difficult is dealing with aging hardware,

There's always been a lot of disfunction with the way the Go team does stuff. These same points about Gerrit were made more broadly years ago. Gerrit was viewed as an arbitrary barrier to getting changes in. They vowed to make it bette

The Marines used to have a system for allowing civilians cook for the military. It's awful and I wouldn't recommend it. In-service cooks are much better and usually very skilled.

That's the trajectory if we stay on this path. Artists would essentially become AI power users. The question upstream of that is, do you think this is a good path? Personally, I think AI has done about as much as crypto, maybe even l

Personally, I'm on-board with protecting artists incomes, however, I think there's a middle-ground. First, I'd like to correct a fact you omitted: Napster, Limewire and the like didn't come out of nowhere. They were crea

Regular people boarded the Max 8 and regular people will have board the Max 7 and Max 10. Unless of course, only aviation industry professionals fly on the Max 7 and 10s.

It can be. The Obama and Trump administrations definitely installed captive individuals. Appointment can, and probably should be, taken away. We don't need an FCC that flies by the whims of an administration. There's a lot of agen

Every time something happens with one of the platforms we get an influx of refugees. Years ago it was Progressives, then more recently it's been more far right people. Each time theres a wave of bans and miserableness as people decide

I've thought about this a lot. In my old smart house I had a couple of dead man mechanisms that would trigger escalating alerts and finally an outcome. The highest order of which was to alert someone that my dog needed help because I w

Just a note on humility: some people are taught it from childhood. Enough failures mixed with the steady hand of support renders humility (usually). If you have too many failures where you're the only one picking yourself back up it ca

I have other things I judge companies for. I just assume I'm not allowed to do anything personal on a work laptop if they manage every aspect of it. I understand why they do it, however, the only thing I find unethical about it is ho

fwiw, part of their schtick was newsletters and that you, effectively, never had to open their app. Seems like they designed for one and not the other. That said, during launch day they took a lot of feedback from here so they might hear yo

Interesting read. I'm reminded of when my internet literally came to a hault after 9/11. I was just a kid back then, but I'd be curious if anyone knows why. My hypothesis has always been that the internet, up to that moment i

I would call the GMail situation pseudo-centralization. As it has more actual competitors who aren't just hosting but also actively developing their own platform it'd go back to decentralization.

If a SRE only knows one language I'd be skeptical. Most SREs I know know multiple languages. That goes for SRE-SWEs and SRE-SEs.

Would it be possible to make something like gitea that's federated on the issues level? I feel like that'd be really useful.

It's absolute BS. If a citizen were to come into a court and were to express the quantity of state and federal laws, those which compete with each other, and beg the court forgiveness based on, "There's so many laws I can&#x2
