You mean like every company implementing DEI for the last administration? I don't like Trump but this is how both sides have been playing politics. I suspect I'll get downvoted and flagged for this which I think will prove my poin

I slightly disagree. Managers aiming to move up the political chain are very much happy to give political influence to those that will publicly and privately support the manager's own political goals. They want to be pushed up from bel

No matter what founders and managers say the reality is that 95% of tech jobs are meaningless outside the capitalistic flywheel. You're not making the world a better place. You're moving some bits around and extracting a profit fr

> engineering has a bigger role than politics I've never seen two people fight to the death over something meaningless as much as some engineers do. Politics is the end product of multiple people working together with different view

I'd add: Don't do things those with more political power than you manager don't want done unless someone with even more power publicly tells you to. That doesn't mean you do what they want done but simply that you avoid

So not a single point of failure but the single action of Sidekiq's pulling funding was the cause... almost as if Sidekiq's funding was the single point of failure. If this is the reaction of the Ruby Community then no wonder they

A system with a single failure point is inherently unstable. It's not a question of if it will fail but when it will fail.

Ah yes. The classic internet “tens of thousands of experts and hundreds of billion in spend are all wrong and I know better” argument.

Supporting people that want to and are pushing for the government to kill you and your loved ones seems like such an odd thing for someone to do. Not even sure how to describe it.

There’s a number of these types of co-ops in NYC although these are due to government legislation and I do not know if there are any less than decades old.

If you think Putin and Trump will compete versus simply colluding against Europe then you're really delusional.

by marcinzm 1y ago
You should google Cartel. Trump and Putin won't be competing. They'll be fleecing Europe for every cent they can while keeping Europe as weak as possible. Maybe manage to get a few more Russia aligned right wing governments if eno

Handing over a loaded gun pointed at your head from one dictator to another is hardly a wining strategy. You also underestimate how much Russia and the US are likely colluding.

I understand how economics function. If you drop supply 10% for a basic necessity then prices will go up by much more than 10%. You don't need to stop something, just reduce it enough to drive prices way up to the point where people ca

I like how Europe's solution to Trump is to make itself a puppet of an even worse dictator. While expecting the worse dictator to not use that leverage to take over more of Europe. Who will charge 100% tariffs as well since a weak Euro

> what’s to lose now? The natural gas supply among other things. Europe has made itself first dependent on Russia and then on the US for the basic survival of its population.

Trump can make drastic course changes much faster than Europe can ever agree on any strategy. Trying to match Trump's approach of drastic responses is a losing strategy for Europe. All Trump has to do is put 200% tariffs on LNG exports

Of course we know, it’s not magic, but some people like to spread FUD to further their own agendas.

Then that’s a very inaccurate click bait title for this post.

Looks like someone just got a really cushy job at Google when they retire from leading this system.

That’s called Staff engineer and not Manager.

That describes Dwarf Fortress. I guess you don't have an text interface to talk to people but that feels like a no true Scotsman requirement. The difference is that Dwarf Fortress is not fully opaque to the player. You see a large par

This has little to do with a single country and more with the fact that if someone is willing to fight for anything other than the current administration then one day they might fight against the current administration directly. Same reason

Because then anyone can be deported at any time without any more process needed since it's visa fraud. Maybe even get your citizenship revoked one day given how things are going.

Theres a difference between something being easy, and something being achievable given a large investment of time and effort. FAANG is the second. Not for everyone but if you have anxiety then practice, therapy and possibly prescribed medic
