This piece simply wasn’t written for you. It’s authored by a centrist Democratic think tank and it has a political agenda: to spur new messaging from Dem officials to counter the soft-on-crime narratives in the media, a perennial issue for

>I get the impression you are a judgemental, negative person Yes, that is a common reaction to encountering someone who doesn't kiss your ass, which it sounds like you're used to. Go find a safe space, buttercup.

This is the actual story. The US has been de facto doing business with anyone, especially the Taliban, to get raw resources (in very dangerous and environmentally damaging ways) for use in some markets for many years. I'm curious what

"We can never criticize something unless we can contemplate the totality of it" isn't constructive or helpful and has (from my interpretation) the net effect of stating the the status quo is fine. Is that what you're con

To be clear: Is your assertion that, because these outcomes aren't a deliberate conspiracy, we have to let them happen because of... what, exactly? Whether it's an emergent feature of this style of consulting or a firm consisting

I'm fine stating that engineers from non-elite schools are just as well equipped for the tasks you describe, but that wasn't the GP's contention. The point is that McKinsey make bad recommendations that have demonstrably bad

This essay is full of awful advice and is more about the author venting that their work isn't organized how they like. I would recommend they found a startup and experiment with the kind of structure they think would work best and see

Glad this post is flagged, because it's a bad, disingenuous argument that elides the central truth: RMS's dirty laundry was dragged into public view AFTER he made firing-worthy comments on a university listserv. The chain is causa

A lot of assumptions going on in this comment. You should actually consider testing some of them to see if they're true or just mistakes on your part. Putting that aside: developers who do this kind of (difficult, tedious and thankless

Moving around constantly chasing work is, for most, a miserable existence and not something you should trumpet as being good or try to normalize.

I so often realize, when I look at my efforts in my own recreational programming, that I want to recreate and recapture the joy of working in smalltalk (which I've only ever done recreationally w/ Squeak/Pharo). Just with too

IIRC the original attack was a JS heap spray (using JavaScript Typed Arrays, no less), so not only would the browser have to be written in rust, but also the JavaScript engine which, AFAIK, isn't on Mozilla's roadmap (but I don&#x
