I literally canceled right now and had to confirm several times navigating identical non-cancel buttons, scrolling past several promotions that made it look like the process was over (like the ads at the end of an article) to find one of th

That’s odd. Going for a run outside puts who at risk?

Fair point. I'm not sure what would be productive for them at this point though. Years ago I read somewhere that the way Russia does cyberwarfare is less organized than most people suspect. I'm not sure if it's true, but the

I think this is ideal, but in my experience PMs are given the responsibility of building Gantt charts and managing swim lanes, instead of articulating requirements or verifying requirements have been met. Thus attracting people who want to

My point is you are drawing conclusions about the labour market when there are likely very large and potentially unpredictable changes in store. One (just one) question is whether anyone has the political will or clout to make things worse

Keep in mind that large populations suffering often have political implications. That’s why economic predictions are mostly shots in the dark. They are reasonable and logical until people say “Nope”. We’ll see what inflation is like this ye

Unless their competitors who allow remote steal their best and brightest. Remote is a perk (like a cafeteria… or sleep pods I guess?) that can be used competitively.

I didn’t spot any lies (just some opinions at the end) so I think you’re making a bit of a leap to label his post propaganda. Whataboutism and a tangent though for sure.

One could argue rails is just doing a decent job of hiding a monstrous amount of unnecessary complexity from you for basic CRUD stuff. It’s good at this… until it isn’t. In the the whole ORM abstraction (not just in rails) is questionable.

It’s all about state management IMO. There are legitimate reasons to keep UI specific complex temporary state on the client that would be more complex (and slower) if the server needed to hold it. So an SPA or at least partial SPA in some s

Yes, the biggest impact will be on cheap companies who relied on a candidate’s ignorance of their worth. We don’t even need most states to pass bills like this (would be nice though). We just need some of them and the cat’s out of the bag.

Oh I see. I didn’t notice that claim, and I agree with you. Imagine thinking that you “bribe” media. You just become a stakeholder or advertiser and exert pressure!

Would it be "conspiring" or simply public relations? I ask because when you say "conspire" you could be alluding to it being unlikely that an oil company would have PR people on staff to "massage" their public

You’re not going to convince a technical hiring manager that their puzzles are demeaning or pointless. They believe they’ve beaten some sort of game. That they post / blog about it just reinforces this. IMHO, if you like the company, j

I'm not sure how this could work for a free service at scale. Treating a free youtube account as a video storage service is a really bad idea. I think the issue is that this works for most people most of the time, so we come to expect

Yes, I think it really depends on what the software does and what I'm using it for (my willingness to invest time). If it's something I use every day for years on end to make a living, then I probably want to be able to tweak and

I agree that there is an integrity problem in some areas of research (due to incentives), however the Eric Weinstein reference is laughable. I'd consider him a prime example of pseudo science for dollars / influence with zero cred

Saying style defaults are “wrong” is subjective (unless of course it actually breaks your code). I don’t like rubocops defaults either though tbh. Ultimately to be highly successful I think this has to happen at the language level, and earl
