All of this stuff was hacked into the executive branch to begin with. People have been pointing out that the CFR is way longer than US code for a long time and someone finally dealt with it.

If you truly believe that you should either emigrate or campaign for secession at least for your own sake.

Steam has always been a pig with data. When I used to live with my parents I specifically bought the physical Orange box so I could play portal and half life without having to download anything over the horribly slow and metered satellite c

As someone who actually did date a Canadian for a while I really kind of hate this joke.

I meant immigration in general. Obviously people on H1B visas don't (or at least shouldn't) change voting patterns.

You can't not be nativist to some degree. Otherwise all you have is an economic zone, not a country. That's a completely ridiculous definition of fascism and again, if you pick that most Americans would be fascist and consider it

Asians are 7% of the US population and above 30% of the engineering workforce at most tech companies. So either Asians are just extremely genetically/culturally superior somehow (which seems unlikely given the state of the software ind

It's fascist in the anti-communist sense sure, but most Americans would be fascist then.

I used to be but that's not how any of these immigration programs are used. Often they've been used to crush domestic workers and even change demographics and voting patterns. At this point it doesn't look like allowing anyth

Healthcare wouldn't be nearly as much of the issue it is if it weren't for healthcare administration and the cap on MDs. The private vs public debate becomes way less interesting when the cost drops 90%. Getting rid of that proble

Anything that locks you out of your own computer is at absolute best an availability failure but more often than not forces you to use compromised system software.

You do also need to assist the OS in doing hardware probing. Even older BIOS systems had ACPI and other standards.

Sure but it's the overly general hashmap based interfaces everywhere which includes these canned serialization formats that's the issue. Someone else in this thread posted noyaml.com which is a great summary of the issue there.

Trump won't even do H1B reform which is something plenty of non-nationalist moderates want.

This attitude is why there's very little useful software for the iPhone compared to something like Linux. Instead all you have is spamy garbage full of ads and addictive social media cybernetics.

Do people have an issue with the smollm datasets? I guess it isn't really commercial.

It's crazy. Aider has been able to do this forever using free models but none of these companies will even let you pay for it in a phone/web app. I almost feel like I should start building my own service but I know any day now the

I've been writing some software that does this actually. I have like 3 serious parallel side projects going though plus my day job.

The first thing I bought at my last job was the Oreilly Ruby book. I can't remember what it's called.

LMAO that's exactly the kind of pattern I'm ranting about. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not.

Hash maps. Everyone just turns their brains off and uses hash maps for everything. The code this creates is awful for users, awful for people consuming it, awful for people maintaining it. Think for five minutes about your abstraction and c

Python has amazing documentation. Between the built-in help() function and the official documentation (which is hosted on their site) it's hard to find anything better.

Ah ... something. Where would we be without something?

I haven't read the article (and would prefer not to experience both the site and the writing) but I would guess what the author means is that getting rid of loneliness will remove people's drive to avoid being alone. Frankly I thi

It's well known that in the US people are doing much more poorly than their parents on average. Except having what are essentially televisions in their pocket. That's the one win they get.

Sure. I don't think the inequality was the primary complaint though.

by msgodel 1y ago
The problem is (whether it's real or not) the majority of the US population feels the economic prosperity is being used against them. You might say it's a PR problem, others might say it's an actual problem. Either way it&#x2

Well yeah you've practically done the same thing that's been done with software where juniors need education plus three years of experience for their first job so you have no juniors.

I think it's useful but there's all this peripheral administrative/training stuff my current employer is forcing us through that's pretty annoying.

Huh. My last girlfriend told me I had "the gay walk" and never could figure out what she meant. I wonder if this is it.
