Sit down. The right wing is actively zip-tying entire apartment complexes of poor people, even US citizens, while pointing guns in their faces. Thats violence, and exactly what the left has been ringing the alarm for for years.

Whoever you are imagining has nothing to do with me. Enjoy debating your spooky stalinist strawmen.

This is ahistorical conspiracy theory. First, state communists kill anarchists. That's history. Second, the Soviets were incredibly dogmatic about science because they used it to justify their materialist ideology. They promoted Lysenk

This isn't an anti-science critique. It's a philosophical argument about how science actually operates. I'm not coming at this from a populist authoritarian angle! (Literally my views were influenced by Feyerabend, an academi

That is a really naive epistemology. Science as an objective methodology that churns out truth doesn't exist. Its a human endeavor full of interests. Religion is also a human endeavor full of interests, and can also ascertain certain t

What platform? Android is removing installing software from "unverified" developers which leads to this exact same scenario.

I once had a boss that used to really hate python. He would roll his eyes whenever it was brought up. He was CTO of the company and he would sneer at it. One day, in a one-to-one meeting, I asked him, "what is so bad about python?&quot

I understood and considered both things you could have meant. Either way I think you come off as an armchair coder that overstates what rust safety actually is (its not abstract, i enumerated it). You are doing rust a disservice in the most

> If we could wave a magic wand and make all code safe with no downsides, who among us wouldn't? Anybody would, but Rust is not that wand, and there is no wand. Code needs to _exist_ in order to matter. Time is finite, my free-time

I think its a bad take because "Developers are not Idiots" and "be disciplined" are not good arguments. Its just choosing to ignore the problem rust solves. I am fine with ignoring the problems that rust solves, but not

This is a really bad take, on par with the "we don't need types" post from last week. The thing I wish we would remember, as developers, is that not all programs need to be so "safe". They really, truly don't.

Business consolidation is a civil rights issue. Now every industry is led by giant monopolies that owe the administration favors. The appeasement of autocrats by capitalists for more market control is so inextricable from capitalism itself

Labor, FOSS... can you not imagine anything besides wealthy people creating artificial scarcity to force others to work for them? Edit: if you don't think this is true, look at the history of truly any country and see what happens when

I have been so discouraged by the way that web3 crypto hucksters pounced on vibe-coding. I truly enjoy programming with AI, it is my favorite hobby by a mile. I'm also happy to say that, for now, I get to capture some of the productivi

In a world where we produced so much that we have caused climate change and mass extinction, I can't imagine people being less enterprising and productive being a truly bad thing.

Honest question, why isn't vigilantism okay? What are people supposed to do? Vote? We voted for the public healthcare guy in 2008 and the powers-that-be decided they would rather back "muslim ban" demagogues than let that hap

I'm a week late, but I do appreciate you pointing out this real phenomenon of moving the goalpost. Language is really general, multimodal models even more-so. The idea that AGI should be way more anthropomorphic and omnipotent is reall

Why do you think your issue has anything to do with electron? That sounds like a meme. It is your drives, no? Does the browser make your system drives work a bunch? Much more likely, it is VSCode running ripgrep (rg in htop/activity mo

I would love to hear any explanation for why they should get a penny of taxpayer money after spending >$150B in stock buybacks. They spent their money on enriching the rich.
