I agree. I'm a pretty die-hard free market proponent, but as we move away from labor scarcity via automation there's just no other choice than redistribution that allows a basic lifestyle for the unemployable. The transition will

All of this aside, Redis-the-company has some of the least tactful salespeople I've come across in my long stint in this industry. Used car sales level tactics. Between that and the licensing, I would never consider dealing with them.

I believe you are fundamentally incorrect on the premise and the conclusion of that statement. That's why your argument doesn't resonate with me.

Totally agree. Vehicles are incredibly dangerous, and operating hundreds of them in concert with each other requires responsible participants. Allowing them to be used like toys for simpletons to play out some racing fantasy with is a serio

This isn't always true. I've been in engineering leadership a long time, and I've absolutely gone out of my way to cover for, or help out, engineers that I know put in the extra work, and I've seen other leaders do it to

This is a discussion forum. The whole point is to discuss the article. He's sharing his opinion of the subject. I don't particularly agree with him, but his disagreement comment is a lot more on topic than your policing.

No one I know uses Netflix anymore, and I haven't for a while, but from what I've seen their subscriber numbers are actually doing quite well.

It very much depends on the company and size of the team. A lot of it is planning, filling gaps, coordinating with other teams, and endless meetings. I get that that can sound like valueless filler, but it's actually more important tha

You're not wrong. Upper management is a very stressful grind with little glory. It used to be that it was paid very well to compensate for that, but staff engineer jobs are close enough in comp now that the difference in stress becomes

This comment section, saturated with people marketing this book, is absolutely bizarre and distasteful. This really feels like stepping over a line from sharing content to blatant advertising. From the guidelines: > Please don't use

Yeah, absolutely. In fact, I've worked with a few people with animosity toward my race. I don't prefer it, obviously, but so long as they're not taking action based on it, sure, why not? Part of living in the world is dealing

I do! I also look forward to working with your trans friends if they're capable and can get along with people who have different opinions than they do. That's what adults do.

This kind of holier than thou prig behavior has mostly run its course in tech. I don't think most people find these arguments very compelling anymore. I, for one, am glad. I look forward to being able to work with people with differing

If you are choosing your tech stack based on what the people associated with it tweet, you're doomed.

I personally think Elixir is a great language, but the jump from ruby to functional programming is big enough that I'm not sure it's useful general advice.

Tech is rapidly polarizing, following the American public. There is very little middle ground anymore for Americans, and it seems our tech companies are doomed to follow that trend. There will be nationalist companies, and those that think

This is totally unsurprising. I'm sure Google realized that autoplaying gives them more ad revenue somehow. It was a massive mistake to allow an ad company control over your browser.

Indeed. The collapse of the "mos maiorum", the unwritten set of social norms, was a big part of what dragged the Roman republic to collapse. Norm violations have a way of accelerating in a tit-for-tat way, because once your oppone

You're absolutely correct, but you're missing an important detail. I'm assuming you're more aligned politically with the left. If you're not, I apologize for the assumption. To someone who is more right-wing, the bi

The aim of propaganda is not anywhere near singular. Much of it is also aimed at convincing you that minor things are "terrible acts" that you need to be outraged about.

Very handy tool! I love eBPF, but playing with it you quickly get into cryptic kernel internals territory. Tools like this are a great way to smooth out the experience. Well done!

I think they're bigger in the UK. Super creative band, I wish they got more recognition, even though I don't really listen to them myself.

> You are nothing but slave labor This is an absurd and out of touch thing to say to a crowd mostly made up of highly paid engineers.

I interpreted it as the latter being the most common pattern. I'm sure it differs fairly widely though.

While the average is 1, a strikingly high number will have 0. The loneliness epidemic is a very real thing, and impacts men to a brutal degree.

> Insulting someone or discriminating against them is not supression, it's unlawful. It is not, at all, unlawful to insult someone. Your argument is absurd.
