Demolition Man is the most prophetic sci-fi movie every made. I even wrote about it: https://papa-andy.medium.com/these-movie-classics-aged-in-cu...

A link to an article was banned. Also, no one at the New York Post was willing to put their name on it, there was no byline at all. Considering the sketchiness of the source at the time - no byline, a stolen laptop, etc - wasn't real

Behind The Bastards had the most mild episode they've ever had about Elon, as the host was too torn about giving him a hard time, but this was before all this: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/part-one-i-

Well, since Elon is severely sleep-deprived and is a one-man censorship switchboard, he is now not running two of his three companies, and pro-actively destroying the third one. And I am using the word "censorship" sarcastically b

The man whose brain is melting because of social media maintains self-awareness about the whole thing? This is truly bizarre.

SBF, through his industry connections, was able to figure out how to take the difference while trading Bitcoin between different countries, as the premiums are different. It's basically a legal money printer. I am baffled by why fraud

There are accounts that track Russian diplomats and military brass planes, for example. They turn off transponders if they don't want to be tracked. But the point is, it poses no safety risk to the rich and powerful. It's just a c

How else are you going to ask for naughty massages from a flight attendant in exchange for a horse? I mean, come ON.

In the early 2010s, the industry was dominated by mature and stable ecosystems, such as Python/Django and Rails. Then Node came about, and when it was still extremely immature, it got a ton of attention as an army of front-end devs s

And what if an underlying library returns the exception? All the opposition to exceptions I have encountered are theoretical, and I have never seen it work that way in practice. What signature do you get from "if err := myFunction()&

I feel a lot of that has to do with Googlers not daring to question the famous authors, and the same authors seem to have been asleep for the last three decades in terms of modern programming language developments. I geared up to learn Go o

Airlines are fighting tooth and nail to not spend money to implement video feeds on the black boxes, a rather doable upgrade with huge safety benefits, and you want to mandate expenditures on converting all air ships to full remote drones?

Back in the day we had this mantra - "complexity kills". Boy, did it take us another decade to learn the same lesson - AGAIN.

At the time of this "scandal", Biden was not even President. All campaigns have lines into major social media companies to take down quickly the content that violates terms of service. What is the issue?

It's like a guy charging you $25 for a lecture on how to get rich. These guys don't talk if they can use the information for their own profit.

It's the resource curse. Why think about it too much if you can just throw resources at the problem? This is not just an issue with builds. Seems like developers treat everything as "free", from HTTP round-trips to database q

So why don’t the same people want Tim Cook to fail? Maybe if Elon was not tweeting obscenities at US Senators about their penises and ejaculation, perhaps like, maybe, people would not be having knives out for him? Just a thought.

“Crunch time all the time”. During the holiday season no less. The guy is a soulless monster.

It depends. A lot of devs, from my observations, take no satisfaction in the "last 10%". They stay for a project during the fun, risk-free green field development phase and then peace out. These engineers never really learn from t

What was unthinkable in 2020 is now thinkable in 2022. Can Russia just start a major land war in Europe, wiping out whole cities? Sounds crazy. Nnnope. "Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered the country’s military to develop the abi

So, a social media company removed a dick pick? This is the news? Okay, ELON, "handle" it for us would you now? Let's see which advertiser would love their ad appear right below Hunter Biden's hog. This is unreal stupidi

Indeed. The US has gone so far down the path of broken Capitalism that ideas that are pretty middle-of-the-road are enough to brand you a firy communist. Richard Nixon was piloting Universal Basic Income and founded the EPA. Let THAT sink i

Here come the big words. "Collusion" sounds borderline criminal. "Censorship" is something a government does, not a private entity. This is not hard.

And now Musk says Apple was NOT even considering removing the Twitter app from the store? So he just made a scandalous claim out of thin air?

"Elon Musk pulls a date out of his butt". I am on to this act. All these dates are not something his engineers tell him that's possible, or at least he doesn't care if they are truthful. If you say "no" in a me

This is called "sustenance". They are not your pets. You treat the animals well because they literally feed you through the cold months. People don't understand that in many parts of the world not eating meat is a huge luxury

The goal should be to eat HUMANE meat if you want to eat meat but can't for ethical reasons. When I was a kid, my gram grams in Ukraine treated our animals like family members. That cow and hog dinner cooked for them smelled so good I
