There is a middle ground. I use Windows/Mac for gaming, entertainment, and casual browsing, and I run Mint in a VMWare for serious stuff. The added benefit is that I can easily back up, snapshot, and transfer my work OS anywhere. And M

This is great news. Especially for men. It gives their lives more meaning and a sense of self-worth. Great new podcast episode from Ezra Klein about this.

Absolutely. Google products are not their primary business. These are corporate hobby project that keep the engineering plankton busy.

Google refuses to see through products that do not go supernova like their search did back in the day. Search/ads give them a business with Pablo Escobar margins. They will never go "legit" with a regular product, they will n

The last thing we need is college graduates learning how things are done in a massive FAANG company, then going to small startups and telling them about "how they did things at Google", trying to solve problems the current company

How many people out there randomly zoom with their former coworkers that they never met in real life, after leaving their job? Your 20s are a critical time for your career to make connections and friendships - in person. You need to be arou

"Let's just hire people and give them obnoxious compensation packages before another FAANG gets them" may not be a business strategy that works in the lean times.

Just like the FAANG interview process, which is basically completely arbitrary based on what's hot (puzzles, leetcode), they can afford the waste. "An army of engineers who get maybe 20 minutes of focus per day? We gots the money

I've been using ES6 directly, with ArrowJS for dynamic HTML and observable data, and it's been delightful.

This is exactly the reason why Big Tech is in trouble. The candidates cram Leetcode for months to get the jobs, and since their practical skills are irrelevant in that process, we all wonder what the hell this army of engineers is actually

There are many who are aware of QAnon. A portion of those are aware that it revolves around insane conspiracy theories, and only a fraction of those know the details of how deranged the conspiracy theories are. Only a few journalists have e

Not sure what gave you the impression that I have any love for the MAGA or the self-righteous "woke".

It's the American way. Obey all the insane orders of the boss, pull long nights, work weekends, respond to Slack messages at 2AM. Or, you lose your job, your house, AND your health insurance. Any questions as to why Americans are so &q

So, like, a ... campus? Also, why not just sleep and shower in the office? You are going to live there anyway.

So, you have no problem, I assume, with the "woke" governors banning or revising classic children's books to remove anything offensive? Right? You know, to prevent "government employees and licensed child educators from

To put it another way, Deja put Usenet out of a coma, and Google finally pulled the plug.

Just because over 10 million Americans believe that Tom Hanks violates, kills, and eats children - a widely held belief - does not mean that a private company can't tell those people to go suck a bug. A private company does moderation

Look, I haven't done Java in more than 10 years, but I have done Scala. Honest question - isn't Java just trying to "steal" Scala's concepts and catch up to the "cool" languages?

I am going to go ahead and say it. ChatGPT is the Blockchain of search - a solution in search of a problem. There is nothing preventing Google from being better right now - except for its quest for more money. Everyone is making funny outpu

Most of Musk's antics are just entertainment to me, but publicly shitting on your own ex-employee (and in some cases current employees) is just a shocking lack of grace. He just doesn't know when to stop being an asshole. There ar

If you are going to do layoffs, you do it once. Rip the bandaid. Two or more, and you are seriously affecting morale and productivity. But, if that happens, I've learned from the Twitter-related threads here that it's best to volu

Everything is correct except for the first one. Hydration is HEAVILY dependent on age. Younger bodies can hold on to way more water, and that decreases as we age. This is the primary reason why we get worse hangovers as we age. Drink water

If I worked on this, I would quietly build in the safeguards, and when the bot inevitably goes full Nazi a few days after the release and after Elon freaks out, I would claim that it will take about 10 days to fix, kick back, and then turn

I was once at a meetup where a previous Twitter CTO gave a talk about their first rewrite. It was back in the day when Twitter was going supernova and their old Rails architecture was beginning to seriously struggle. The CTO came up with

Twitter devs don't have Slack right now to even discuss this. They are all in one crowded conference call, panicking, and with Elon screaming.

So, China and Russia can just point on a map and say "I want that, and I have nukes, so, you know, WWIII". If we are going to play this game, let's have it all out now, because that's no way to live. We all agreed a long
