Administrators are just doing what people in SF vote for - this idea and implementation of equity has been rolled into the set of positions one adopts as a progressive in CA, which is the only position to take unless you want to be socially

There's a wide range of emotions and impact I expect from good writing - joy is nice, but hardly required for me. A couple of my favorites I've read several times like East of Eden or Brothers Karamazov end up being more like fun

But it depends on volume to make sense. If I want to be deep in a national forest somewhere with the intention of getting away from people and bring my horses, public transport just won't do it. With my own vehicle, that's not a

Good step towards exposing someone that should never have access to any company's proprietary source code. They could be out looking for a job ready to do this again.

The 1.8 million people that have been in concentration camps for a decade now don't have time for 'everything' to be tried.

Quite a few places you would never even be able to even reach in a reasonable amount of time via bus/bike/walk. Would be like the part of the world accessible to you just radically shrank overnight.

It does really stand out from how documentation on a low level library has traditionally been presented.

Most loving things don't want to die, whether it's to be a meal for something else or any other reason. I don't see how that refutes what looks like the natural drive, at least based on how many have been doing it for how lo

Eliminate the waste in your 'to read' pile by populating it the same way he suggests selecting from it - pluck a few choice items here and there from the river that is the British Library.

That could never work for me personally. A book isn't something that's uniform in quality or engagement throughout, in fact they're often predictably lopsided where the the first few pages are getting you familiar with the c

I really believe that would start an actual war in the US. Would not advise attempting this.

Hard work. The Amish are willing to do it.

Agreed. Reminds me of front end dev where it’s become laughingly complex with every wheel seemingly re-invented so many times.

Poor treatment of their employees (IT laid off then forced to train cheaper replacement staff) is more than enough reason. Any working person has solid ground to not be on the side of Disney.

Wild animals spend almost all of their time on providing themselves with food and shelter - if they could talk, I doubt they would describe this as recreation, but work.

Does your state teach special rules for how capitalization is used? I haven't seen anything like that before.

Much more embarrassing to be the intended audience for such a ruse.

The CEO is just a superior human capable of things others can only dream of.

Probably better to just listen to the people that do it all day than to think you pop in as an outsider and have some special insight.

That’s surprising - their teams are rarely able to deliver anything useful. It’s easy to fool a bank or insurance company, but FAANG should be able to better spot their technical ineptitude.

What is the incentive to build and maintain a product that matches the researchers specs?

I would hate that and do terrible myself. I need to focus to do my best and having another person around to interact with would be a huge distraction. Plus in 25 years of working on software I've never produced anything of value work

That’s where I started and it’s still my favorite. Hooked me hard.

Can’t speak for anyone else, but I hope for the entire companies demise, as I do for any ad tech surveillance operation.

Feels worse to me in scope. Subjective, of course, but the combination of inflation and interest rates seems to have a broader impact. It was easily possible to get through 2008 mostly unscathed unless you were just about to retire, but e

If there is no way to test for it and having it makes one eligible for disability payments, there’s simply a high potential for abuse.

I thought programming was outside the scope of CS - you know, they're the theory guys and programming is implementation. I've worked as a developer for 25 years and have never even heard of relational algebra. Also only use conc

Pretty sure it’s illegal to operate any kind of vehicle on a public street while over the limit in the US. No different than a car. Except, if you get in a wreck you’re almost surely dead.
