You are absolutely correct. It bothers me to this day that "I want my weed" is a bigger reason for stepping back on the War on Drugs than "I am tired of police murdering people in no-knock warrants for entire streets with zer

I remember when my buddy was trying to get me to use the JS framework of the day. I was just floored with how much JS was required for very simple things. I couldn't help but think to myself, "This whole thing could be a couple do

You aren't wrong. Go comes with some boilerplate, but it's not as much as people imagine. My main point was that you can compile, execute, and view your changes almost as quickly as an interpreted language. Anyone who has worked w

It would be difficult to form. Not every customer is even close to equal. The customers who buy the most from Google already have massive leverage. If anything, participating in a union would dilute their demands amongst the mob. The union

Go's Windows and GUI support is questionable at best. If anything, Go is a Ruby, Python, and server-side C++ killer. Go gives you the development iteration speed of an interpreted language with performance approaching C. Go is a reason

If you think that real research isn't dependent on funding, then I really don't know what to tell you.

Scientists are the new priest class. They deliver edicts and answer the public's questions about the universe. The problem is that the answer to 99% of the public's questions is "I don't know" or "It's ver

I might believe you if this were the first time I have seen something like this happen. After all, it was such an enormous, public incident. But it is not the first time and it will not be the last time either.

The problem with your example is I don't turn off the bomb maker's electricity. I call the police. They take violent threats seriously. If you think someone is making a violent threat, that is what you do. They want to shut down n

If just Apple suspended them for a clearly identified infringement of codified policy and then gave them steps to correct it, I wouldn't care nearly as much as multiple sectors of industry banning one company within hours of each other

They host content that YouTube will not. That seems to be enough. Peertube is federated, and I haven't seen them attack a federated service, yet.

If AWS is dropping you, then Facebook, Twitter, and Google probably already have. Stripe, Cloudflare, and Paypal are probably doing the same. If you try to continue, Visa, MasterCard, and your ISP will shut you down next. This is the world

The problem is that the industry has been sold a lie that a magical team of 10X Rockstar 1337 developers can make designing and maintaining large and complex systems easier. Of course, US companies would never purposefully reject qualified

I'm old enough to remember Win32 programming in C/C++ because it was the only thing that worked. There was a problem though. Memory management, shitty standard library, and a non-existent packaging system. Java came around and gav

I played more bowling on the Wii with friends than I have almost any other game. It's fun, fast, and enjoyable for a large demographic. Hell, I know people who bought the Wii just to play the starter disk. I think there is a huge marke

Or anyone really. After 2016, I stopped watching and reading the current news completely. Everyone is lying to you now. I just wait 6 months before having an opinion on anything. That gives more than enough time for most of the rumors and m

I remember the first time I walked into the "residence" for a major contractor's H1B visas. They were packing a dozen people in a 3 bedroom apartment in a bad area of town. You then see how they are treated by their companies

I am not intimately familiar with Linus beyond his product Linux and his famous rants, so I can only grant you his aspy-ness. I think Linus's handling of the Linux kernel is an excellent example of stellar technical leadership in a par

Let's be real here for a moment. Software engineering, in general, is the most thing-oriented profession available. It attracts people who are incredibly thing-oriented. Most lack the want or ability to manage other people. This double

This is the current #1 reason I refuse to work for any SV companies. Before, it was their shiny veneer of fanciness that barely covers the shitty working conditions. I see nothing but continuous witch hunts targeting people who didn't
