I could do it really easily if I had 30 minutes to write it out. Doing it in a conversation, though? I might prefer being waterboarded. I'll remember a much better example less than an hour after the call ends, too. I'm convinced

Their "customer support" includes not expecting users to set up PGP to communicate with them. Email is not a secure method of communication by default. It's fine to send a notification instructing them to visit the secure por

This is the song it's ~~hallucinating~~ bullshitting about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6NJitdq8Bk&t=1s&themeRefres... It's like an Irish rebel song but with stomping. I'm not sure how you watch

My answer to this question, having been a victim of this economic crash, is bug bounty programs. Chaos is a ladder. All this outsourcing, layoffs, and AI slop is an opportunity. That Apple AirPlay wormable RCE CVE is an indicator of how bad

What are the characteristics that are actually useful on a deserted island? Outdoorsy (ideally, skilled in bushcraft), ex-military, able-bodied. On the first two, the programmer wins. On the last one, it's probably a wash. For every ob

And that's definitely an inclusive-or, too. On the other hand, managers are usually hiring because they failed to do their job competently with the last person in this role. Brand-new positions are exceedingly rare these days. The mark

From Philly to Boston, you got a lot of direct Americans, but the rest of the country? No, not really. West Coasters might be the most passive-aggressive people in the world.

You're not protecting your time correctly if helping a colleague out wipes out your morning. Schedule a meeting and time-box the assistance. If it's not enough, schedule something else in a day or two. Teach the man how to fish an

I couldn't disagree more. I try to avoid people like you like the plague. You're never as good as you think you are, and any additional skill you might provide is negated by how much you drag the rest of the team down. I'm ha

TBH it's really quite boring. You just have to go back in time to the late 2010s. They had an excellent Spark-as-a-Service product, at a time when you'd have better luck finding a leprechaun than a reliable self-hosted Spark insta

Ignoring the serious memory safety and security problems that were exploited to get acceptable performance on contemporary hardware, I’d point to shared document editing, automatic backups via OneDrive, and version history as rather signifi

Well, we networked all the computers together around that time, and it turned out that all the 1337 performance hacking that people did back then had severe unintended consequences. You’re talking about an era in which the NX bit would not

Look up what urban planners call “the missing middle.” Amsterdam, Paris, and even Washington, DC get their high density from 5-6 story buildings. You don’t need skyscrapers to have a bustling, walkable city. Now, I actually like skyscrapers

It used to be, but there's a pandemic of the blue flu going around. Cops have been quiet quitting for 4 years because they want to be able to murder with impunity again.

Your argument has several flaws. First, we prescribe drugs based on expected risk and reward. The likelihood of successful treatment absolutely matters. Otherwise, we'd require a trial of a homeopathic placebo for every mental health c

The social model of disability can be useful, but it has its limits. Unmedicated-me pisses me off too.

I'm more inclined to think Garry Tan is a sadist, not a hypocrite. He said "die slow." There's few methods of killing that are faster than the guillotine. Garry clearly believes only ISIS-approved execution methods belon

9. Anyone who doesn’t recognize Roko’s basilisk as a bad ripoff of Pascal’s wager is an ignoramus. Anyone who is seriously concerned about it for more than an hour should consider a vasectomy. 10. I can’t think of a better form of “effectiv

“Big energy” is referring to the oil and gas industry. Utility profits are small potatoes.

I take it you skipped your Econ 101 course the day they went over “rent seeking behavior” and the distinction between accounting profits and economic profits. Economic profits (ie. excess profits) are a characteristic of markets lacking suf

Look to the example of Russian intelligence officers being indicted by U.S. DOJ for an example that both proves and disproves your point. Governments do indict foreign nationals that can’t be extradited. They also don’t bother unless they’r

I’m not a lawyer, but there are all kinds of extremely broad computer crime statutes on the books. No prosecutor would bring this case. This would flagrantly violate the spirit of the law, which was intended to stop unsolicited dick pics an

If you were on forums in the aughts, it was unavoidable. I think every very online millennial knows what Goatse is. The youngest millennial is 27. Which begs the question: is Goatse what spreads Zoomers and millennials apart?

I peeked at your website and your profile. I’m not surprised you struggle to get jobs… Do you realize these profiles will turn up when recruiters and hiring managers google your name? You’re basically telling them two things when they skim

It's amazing how many people have been brainwashed into supporting dictatorship in the workplace, isn't it? So-called free men, who find the idea of no gods and no masters to be unthinkable. You have nothing to lose but your chain

Employee-owned co-ops are extremely common in Southern Europe. The Mondragon Corporation has 81,000 employees. Your ideological bias is showing if you think this is even a question. Empirically speaking, the answer is a resounding yes.
