While this shouldn’t legally be allowed to happen, in my opinion, I do agree. Consumers don’t feel any ownership of the bigger picture. Most people refuse to make ethical purchasing decisions and happily give their money to people they know

That’s really the question, isn’t it? The article makes it sound like hiring “open source devs” may be part of the strategy, which essentially amounts to anyone with a public GitHub repo.

TikTok is happy, Facebook optimized for outrage and conflict. When you only get shown stuff that pisses you off, you’ll get some short-term high engagement at the cost of enjoyment. Ultimately, that gave the strong impression that Facebook

I’ve heard it isn’t. From what I’ve heard, the salaries aren’t that outstanding, and the people getting them are being paid for their experience with the environment, not the language.

They’re currently doing this in infosec to all the new people wanting to break into the field.

It does seem like a small percentage of bad actors will ruin remote work for everyone.

Either way, it seems like both are morally wrong. Each is predatory in a different direction.

His accusations include “Twitter was dismissive when informed about foreign nation spies in their ranks”. That’s not comparable to “any business that uses computers”.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the norm for people with diet. For some reason, personal food choice and health ideology seems to fall into the same category as religion and politics.

The Zig language community is small. I think it’s more comparable to “Eric Clapton is a valued member of the local music scene, so I’d rather not engage with that scene”. Not that he’s actually comparable to Eric Clapton, but yknow.

“I’m sorry” 10 hours late followed by an excuse, plus he doubled down hard after the first one. Hard not to be turned off of the Zig language after this kind of thing. Looks like he deleted the original tweet and is in full damage control m

The smartphone era directly seems to coincide with elevated mental health problems. I think porn and social media are responsible. Those two things, heavily changing neurotransmitter and hormone patterns, are significantly amplified when ev

It does seem confusing to me why someone would choose Zig. If you’re looking for a low-level language, Rust is safer with a better ecosystem. If you want a high-level language, Nim binaries are smaller and the Go ecosystem is better. When i

Still, the common advice seems to be to learn COBOL for big salaries. In reality, it’s nowhere near what’s defined as “big salary” in software engineering, more like “totally average”.

To attempt to answer the second - I’ve heard the often-repeated “COBOL pays great!” statement isn’t actually true. From what I recall (no personal experience), the pay is quite a bit less than big tech, with the downside of an antiquated la

This information is immediately available for anyone in the country, after they turn 18, via whitepages. This security via obscurity effort isn’t providing any meaningful protection.

I think that’s a feature!

While it is kind of absurd, to be fair, B12 has documented useful benefits for people that aren’t deficient. Also, your body eliminates any B12 it doesn’t use in urine, so not really any risk of overdose.

What if all humans were cows? Would I suggest slaughtering all the people-cows? Neither of those questions is based in reality, so the answers don’t really matter.

In the meantime, beef alternatives are quite convincing these days. It’s a fairly small step to take that can dramatically lower your individual footprint.

If you want something immediately actionable you can do, cow farming is a major contributor of global methane (as well as deforestation). Cutting out beef shows a personal commitment to sustainability.
