I don't understand what you find odd about "affecting IOPS." If someone does something that has an impact on IOPS, then it's sensible to say they (or what they're doing) are "affecting IOPS." Screaming at

For some reason this just made me think of the "I learned it from you, dad!" PSAs of my childhood. Edit: apparently it was "I learned it by watching you!"

You can reduce civilian casualties by reducing the number of people considered civilians.

I'm arguing that "it's their life, so they'll be more careful than 'the man'" is tenuous. There have been many people who "made informed decisions" about their medical treatments over the advice

I downvote people who express things disrespectfully, like saying they're "embarrassed on behalf" of people who don't think like them. So yeah, I'll be a totalitarian censor against people who put down others while

They're also people who had a lot of confidence in their own skills (including thinking they knew better than others) and ended up being wrong. I would say that can have a lot to do with your average diabetic loop hacker.

A lot of the other responses say something along the lines of "of course people have more incentive not to mess up, they care about their own lives more than corporations care about getting sued" and sure, that's true in gene

I guess my point is that I disagree that rebasing should be shorthand for all these things that aren't rebasing.

Isn't your tale more about squashing than rebasing?

Absolutely. Was this supposed to be some kind of gotcha?

I think there are "classes" of features people have disliked. Eg: every social media app added "stories" at some point, using up screen real estate. Same goes with "shorts/reels/etc". It's one th

I guess it depends on your definition of "intrusive". I have no interest in any of the AI features that have been added to the UIs of Meta products (WhatsApp, and Messenger), yet still see prompts for them and modified UIs to try

There's more to it than just "inflated salaries with inflated prices". I took a 70% pay cut moving from Silicon Valley back to Europe. Sure, my monthly expenses were also about 70% less, and I was able to save roughly the sam

Definitely not on the "everything looks like an 80s soap" side. It's weird that all this "new" tech feels so backwards to some of us.

No, I think your "true advantage of a competitive marketplace" is the kind of "invisible hand of the free market" stuff I don't care for.

Being a JetBrains customer lately feels like watching everybody else race by in their cars while your horse is trying to eat the carrot in a grocery store ad on the side of a bus stop I get it, horse, you're confused, but we got places

I don't fly with them, and likely never will, simply because a coworker once showed me their checkout flow (back in 2011) and I found the amount of dark patterns to try and get you to accidentally spend more than you meant so disgustin

The failure modes certainly are somewhere between interesting and horrifying, and they do seem uncannily human. I read a random comment a few days ago from someone who was saying it'll become possible for people, politicians, companies

My anecdata is different: the Airbnb one floor above us in our last place earned us a visit from the cops (due to a misunderstanding about the definition of "bottom floor") due to how frequently they were occupied by people either
