I want to agree with you since I generally hate this kind of thing but honestly the Mastodon web ui on mobile doesn't bother me for some reason.

Looks like a social media cascading failure.

To say he's learning on the job is speculation on your part. He's on the job, I'll give you that.

This. I'd bet substantial amounts of money that the evil scraper idea is the result of a) another issue + b) paranoia + c) Musk thinking he understands better than anybody else.

I don't claim to be super-knowledgeable on this topic but IMO the current government is marginally competent and so far I'd say they seem about as corrupt as the Liberals normally are, which is to say: unacceptably. I'm not

Which is a bad idea. They should be using the damn emergency alert system.

Care to expand on that last sentence? I'm curious.

"Everything is fine" is a position taken by nobody afaict. But if someone is going to make brash claims they better have more than just bluster otherwise they're actively worsening discourse IMO.

Care to provide verifiable details and a timeline for "look like North Korea and China"? Because otherwise this smells like sensationalism to me. Hate is already defined in Canadian law wrt hate crimes, btw, and that predates the

Both bad in their own way, both with users thankful they're not on the other system. It's a triumph of propaganda!

Paypal's customer support is a disaster, and I refuse to use the service anymore after they shut my account down because a withdrawal failed - without informing me - and sent it to collections, also without informing me. The hoops I h

I'm by no means a Google-hater, but I have to say, it's pretty hard to feel bad for a company which has infinite money and no shortage of smart people they can throw at problems. If they didn't have such an attention-deficit

I'm generally sympathetic to much of what this article is arguing, but I really wish everybody would agree to stop using "the Left" / "the Right" as if they were meaningful descriptors. Strive for more nuance,

Shrug. You say "inner drive for success beyond financial security", I say "deep-rooted psychological issues and pathological desire to be seen as better than everybody else".

I'm not sure if this is part of the plan, but I'd like to see this go farther in the direction of "search human-generated content". That's basically what I used "site:reddit.com" for in the past, "Sh

Yep. Going to mention that next time. "I'm too smart to solve this quickly, can I get back to you next week?"

Well that's saying something when the games industry is more sane.

Yep. I read this last year after watching some Unabomber related show. And there are interesting ideas in there about technology and society, but a lot of it is just dumb shit.

+1 to this, but I feel like "if you have a good team with good structure" is hand-waving away some pretty heavy stuff ;) It's the "#1 be good looking #2 don't be ugly" of the software world - if you have great

I'm torn about this one. I personally (like most devs) am hyper-productive when I am focused on a problem that I'm interested in solving. But that often does not align with whatever is the most important for the company or the t

thankyou.gif Nothing turns me off an author who can write prose well faster than switching perspectives every chapter - you're throwing out one of, if not _the_ biggest advantage of long-form narrative : the ability to get deeply into

+1. One of the single best pieces of programming advice I ever received when I was young was my TL saying "I don't like this, it's too clever". I spent a brief period at a FAANG company and IMO the people there are too

IMO when receiving feedback it's important to understand the context of the person giving it. Some people, like those classified here as 1-2 star reviews, might just not understand what you're trying to do, or it just might not b
