Discord's status page now reports a 99.83% uptime for the last 90 days. Crazy how it seems that they have a major outage this frequently.

I'll write a charitable response to your flippant comment. Living in a city has more noise than outside of cities, but that doesn't mean that people deserve to be exposed to noise levels that are harmful to their health. This also

It will end when people like the author drop their victim mentality and start putting their own ideas into practice. It seems that this person is content with yelling on the sidelines about how good and efficient things used to be. Meanwhil

Just taking a look at his youtube channel. Why is he so hot on culture war issues now? It seems that right to repair has taken a back seat to his polemics about covid lockdowns, vaccine skepticism, and homeless people.

Youre underestimating the value of a college degree. Research like [1] shows that degree holders have significantly more lifetime earnings than high school. You also miss how the democratization of education has benefited our society and he

It's really easy to take a both-sides stance here, but the last presidency (ending in that same president causing an insurrection attempt at our capital) shows that one side is clearly more dedicated to authoritarianism than the other

I'm not discounting it. I just care more about point-source pollution than carbon footprints abstracted across a global supply chain. The footprints can be reduced at scale over time, whereas these cars will be continuously producing

SQL proficiency is important but I wouldn't say it supersedes programming experience. To me, Data Engineering is a specialization of software engineering, and not something like an analyst who writes SQL all day. As DE has evolved, the

Free speech extremists seriously think a private company should be forced to keep someone who uses their platform to incite deadly riots. Trump's free speech here has consequences. 5 people have died.

How is anything about his hamfisted (publicly admitted) attempt to disenfranchise voters even close to cunning? Maybe it’s because his party and half of America is also on board with it?

I really disagree here. Monolithic dags are a bigger pain to manage. Breaking them out into smaller dags makes retrying/backfilling/etc a lot more straightforward. It also lets you reuse those pieces more easily. We have compute D
