"Aviate. Communicate. Navigate." is so passé. Now it's "Digitize. Publicize. Monetize."

Not every behavior has an evolutionary advantage. If anything, "evolution" filters out disadvantages (eg: can't survive because your neck's too short and that pesky giraffe is eating all the leaves you could reach). Evol

I think it's more a correlation than a causation, and I think it's the other way around. It's not "I tend to not want to work with people who name-drop RFCs", it's "people I don't want to work with te

I love hooks in general but I definitely have a thing against hooks that aren't read-only (except maybe some autogenerated stuff that "can't go wrong"). The hooks can fail my commit all they want, but I don't want t

Couldn't disagree more. Waiting for a CI step to tell me something's wrong when I could've found out locally is a waste of time. Sure, I can hand-run checks locally, but having a way of doing it "automatically" pre-

There's a strong inverse correlation in my career between how often a dev refers to RFCs by number alone and how much I ever want to interact (let alone work) with them again. Doubly so for the "meta" RFCs (eg 1925).

I think your comment was pretty reasonable based on the info in the comment you were replying to.

I don't think that's quite what they're saying. I think they're saying that the only thing the shingles vaccine should cause is the immune response to it, which you should also get from getting shingles, so does getting

Honestly hard to disagree with your first point even though it's sarcasm. It's still quite easy to end up with a terminal you need to reset your way out of (eg with a misguided cat), not to mention annoying term mismatches when us

Ugh. Of course. That makes a lot of sense. Didn't come anywhere close to getting it on my own though!

Doesn't that kind of confirm my point though? VW's having to invest huge amounts of their revenue while Rivian's going around burning VC/investor cash without a care in the world for profitability.

The first definition for beefy from Merriam-Webster is: heavily and powerfully built . As someone who's had to rack some pretty heavy servers with lots of GPUs, CPUs, NVMe drives, and RAM, that turned out to be quite powerful, I'd

Based on that last paragraph, I think it's pretty likely you're getting downvoted for your attitude and not for your opinions. That's actually pretty consistent with a lot of the other comments I see where the author claims t

Relatedly, somewhat, I've been reading a lot of 19th century French literature (because I'm French and because my sister is a literature teacher who's been "assigning" me stuff to read). It has been somewhat shockin

Honestly don't know what this has to do with my comment. Edit: I guess the topic is downvotes, sure, but I feel like your comment would be better made somewhere further up the comment chain where it's actually relevant.

I agree it's the same as "opt-out" but I like the phrase "opt-in by default" because it implies there's an affirmative "I want to participate in this" option somewhere, and that it is set to "yes
