At a time when many companies, flush with cash, routinely perform mass lay-offs in order to boost the stock price no employee's job is secure no matter how well they perform. So, in such an environment, how can you expect employees not

As long as your search engine is reliant on ad revenue you will not be able to win this fight.

Wow… well I'm of the opinion that folk who believe my consent is morally not so important should go back to kindergarten for a refresher course on playing nice with others.

Scans through all the comments… nope not a single person picked up on what the original post was saying… y'all just arguing about whether you can be a fucking cunt and get away with it or not.

We can make jokes and theorize all we like but https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Cut-Me-Own-Throat_Dibbler continues to enjoy his permanent residency in our supply chains. Maybe evicting him won't solve all the is

I hate to keep beating on this drum but is _anyone_ working on a search engine yet that filters out anything with ads and/or a tracker? The root cause of the problem is content monetization so please let's just stop indexing anyth

I feel like the only time I get to grow is during a downturn. Everyone stops focusing on fundamentals when the cash is flowing and just want to ship whatever gets them to the next round.

The unlicensed spectrum arms race continues… Good on you for switching to CAT5 rather than adding to the noise!

I guess you don't need sales staff if you have a market monopoly.

This is not a great argument given that Apple is in the business of selling Apple devices. My original incentive for spending the last 15 years and thousands of dollars in the Apple ecosystem is that their products would "just work&quo

People also forget how recent that shift was and just how brittle the reasoning behind it is.

Maybe we should just call it artificial un-intelligence for the way it is able to remove all intelligence from observers and commentators.

Cue sky-rocketing food prices in a few years and the loss of another major tax base…

Efficiency fallacy. "We can generate more throughput in the system as a whole by negatively incentivizing each component to work itself to death." See Goldratt, Eli.

It's absolutely great how @patio11 managed to recreate exactly the same system within stripe despite being fully aware of it. (I save up my karma points precisely so I can burn them on comments like this.)

It's going to be tough for a while, if you have the opportunity to pivot to a more secure profession grab it with both hands!

Weird, I have the opposite problem. Growing up on C I got used to lovingly handcrafted Makefiles with everything explicitly specified and visible for inspection, and I _suffer_ with these tools that just take an entry-point. Trying to dig t

I've been seeing a major influx of new companies entering into remote who are transitioning from the on-site model. This may skew the results towards co-geographical preference for a while. I figure though they'll eventually relax

This is really what makes the joke work IMO. Haskell's runtime and the OS it executes on exist only as a transient implementation detail of what is, literally, a pure environment!

I think the real story here the airlines would like us to ignore is that seats should be large enough to comfortably accommodate all body types. Having the cheapest possible flights is not a civilization goal we should be aspiring to, espec

The default narratives used to justify questionable industry practices fall apart so quickly when we engage in even the smallest amount of inter-disciplinary dialogue. I'd love to see more of this.

Removing admin access from workstations is a precisely wrong intervention if your goal is security. It's like making the client code responsible for enforcing database permissions. The only valid argument in favor of doing this is if y

I think it's really cool that folk are using this as an opportunity to explore beyond the boundaries of what they think they're capable of.

Anyone else ever stop to think for a moment that organizing society as a winner-take-most competition between largely-equals may not be the only way to do it?

Given how many of the aforementioned technologists are skirting a very thin line to becoming present cons one would think the answer would be yes... Go figure.

Given how many look&feel trends we've seen over the last few decades it would even look kinda cool&trendy in a postmodern-ish kinda way!

It's going to take a lot of arguing but I predict we'll end up back where we started some time ago in the 70's: The computer hardware is the asset. Software engineer salaries are the operational expense of that asset. Fancifu
