In dumb people terms, corporate gig economy players are using algorithms to artificially depress wages of random workers for work that is very similar in scope, if not the exact same (they work similar hours, in a similar area, with similar

Kitty has done great work in this regard. The Keyboard Protocol and the Image Protocol is top notch. Accurate keys was a much needed change. The image protocol blows sixel and ascii out of the water. The thing that baffles me is that so man

Yes, those pure, angelic and kind trillion dollar tech companies are being bullied by the big bad evil EU government because they are jealous of their success. They're just haters Its not like it has anything to do with them consistent

I feel like the better "model" would have been to make a free and open source language with some structure to lead it (even could have been in house only like sql or something) and then create highly specialized tooling to go with

I honestly feel that. I love programming like crazy, I use Linux, but I genuinely just don't care one iota what features my phone or TV has... I just want to browse reddit, read webnovels, call my friends and family, watch and listen t

That's nice, you should fly down to the global South and tell them how good they have it.

Of the 74 million children in the US, 11 million live in poverty. The average American makes 40,000 a year and healthcare and housing are more expensive than ever. Yes, the things that are problems have changed, medical advanced have been m

Sure, that's still not the win you think it is when the material conditions of the average person is pretty awful all around. I laid out a small percent of that in my original comment. and that's not even considering the poverty &

What's renting, right? lol. The next generation has absolutely zero hope that they will ever own a home, and a large percent, simply won't.

The US has one of the highest child poverty rates of any "first world" nation, minimum wage is lower than it has ever been, we pay more for healthcare than any of these same nations and have worse healthcare outcomes than Cuba, ho

I find the fall of the South African apartheid pretty fascinating all around. I wasn't really even aware of this aspect. Fun fact, this is where the BDS movement started (boycott, divest, sanction) and the majority opinion at the time

The point being made is about "soft power" which has a pretty large scope and can vary from fairly harmless, to outright nefarious. One very recent example is the US using soft power to spread vaccine misinformation in China and t

the context of the article is that as a manager, you can say that you value one thing all day long and do lip service to this hyper-idealistic set of goals... but that people are going to intuitively sense what is actually important to that

Exactly. I stopped using it entirely, and I noticed that I would write something and then pause, expecting copilot to take over for a while after quitting. It felt like my brain wasn't really engaged. Its anecdotal, but I feel a lot be

Pretty much everything. From Stockton Rush who would disregard safety, to British Petroleum who thinks the EPA is the ultimate evil. You may die from lead poisoning in your store bought food, but that is a sacrifice they are willing to make

We are already experiencing how destructive LLMs have been to information, news, art, articles, blogs, novels etc... not even from the framework of money or copyright, but from the lens of culture and our daily experience. This very well me

Exactly. Even then, the situation regarding text books is insane. Something like these could easily be fixed in many ways. Just in my opinion, text books should be free, based on publicly funded research and MIT or CC licensed and free and

Same here. It's to display the hypocrisy of those in power who declare things in their favor as beneficial and those that are not beneficial as harmful and bad. In reality it's almost the opposite, it's bootstrap capitalism f

I'd say yes. Especially since cross platform support is becoming more of an expectation and the tooling is starting to enable that out of the box. It's definitely something I consider when picking a language and a framework. That&

this phenomenon is easily experienced while fighting an Elden Ring boss... very often players will spend 2-3 hours fighting a boss, learning the patterns and trying their best... and sometimes its just impossible. but then you sleep and boo

Very interesting. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that measures like "return to work" and things like that are basically methods of "soft layoffs" where they basically put up a giant filter that they k

theres no absolute free speech in the US. There are most certainly plenty of things you cannot say and protestors are often violently silenced by police and riot squads. Then the media upholds its end of the bargain by heavily re-enforcing

My point was that these skills translate to the BSD's, mac, the cloud, android, desktop linux, etc... not to say that only two categories exist. I think even if you do frontend you would benefit from learning linux, but it was one of t

WSL is fine as a user and can be really helpful... but one thing that I've noticed is that a lot of Windows devs use that as a shortcut and will target applications at WSL, which usually don't work on actual Linux whatsoever. They

I love the way Bubbletea looks, but it is nightmarishly hard to do anything more than what is outlined in the examples.

Yea. They all do it. It's a well known exploitable tax loophole. You have to be rich to even take advantage of this method of tax evasion. This is probably one of the best digestible write ups that I've seen on the topic, I highly
