I mean, funny, but idiot activists that spew stuff like this unironically are just missing the forest for the trees. Earth will never be perfect, but we shouldn't let that distract us from something way bigger than ourselves

Are people actually stupid enough to think anyone earning over $1M a year aren't just going to hire an accountant that can play the stupid tax games? This is going to do shit all and just cascade to the middle class, just like all tax

I've certainly noticed this. I'm not from a rich family, I was raised on welfare and I've managed to work my way into finally being able to buy my own three bedroom home in my 30s. Have a lot of friends who don't make an

Lambda works fantastically when you're working in AWS' little box. Processing kinesis streams, monitoring and munging S3 objects, auditing dynamo tables, etc. Web lambdas are not worth it imo, very complex and difficult to get rig

The duties on smokes here just cause more people to move to black market chop chop. Another example of idiot politicians refusing to address the underlying causes of addiction and instead fellating themselves over how smart they are banning

Twitter rewards being a dickhead. It was fun when everyone was allowed to be a dickhead, but now there's a protected class that cannot be criticised and freely sends death threats and the like to whatever bad guy they think they have t

Considering I've been quoted in articles as an anonymous source on stuff I don't know anything about, I'm willing to bet no one can confirm why he left except Bengio himself.

I use Gatsby to generate a static blog using markdown. It goes alright, though since I'm not really a JS person it was a bit of a pain to get running

Pick your tools. Golang is my main language unless I need something quick and dirty dealing with strings, in which case I'll use python. I want to pick up some rust for really low level stuff, but the rust community is a bit of an opaq

All this is going to do is empower the white supremacists. We were so close to a point where we could acknowledge our wrongs and build something new together, but idiots like this decided to use it as a wedge to build their own powerbase. W

Yeah, we had access to DreamSpark around 10-15 years ago and it was pretty awesome. I was very much a Linux person at the time, but I could still appreciate all the free stuff MS lobbed at students.

I bought a PinePhone Manjaro edition. Thing is solid, decent hardware though not earth shattering in anyway. The one killer app for me is phonecalls and text alerts, though. I can live without anything else, but those need to work. The main

Not what I expected when I clicked onto it. I was going to go on a rant about how much I hate the "monolith at any cost" crowd at the moment.

I think it's more that a few of them are giving quite large sums of cash to the Godot project. It was only a matter of time before they did this, tbh, I doubt it will be painted as a social justice issue.

Psychology is undergoing a severe replication crisis at the moment, it doesn't surprise me that there's systemic fraud that the academy refuses to address. Until we drag the ivory tower down a few pegs it's not going to get a

We had a client doing an "agile transformation" corporate style, ie they pulled the entire floor in to talk about everything for an hour every morning. Imagine 30-40 people, all from different teams, all huddled around a whiteboar

We had fines for latecomers and people that talked too much at one of my last companies, like $2 or whatever that goes towards end of week beers or the Christmas party. People pulled into shape real quick.

I tend to do TDD because I hate having to pull up a full application, run the thing and then eyeball a result. The problem with TDD zealotry is that often they'll induce all sorts of architectural rot (DHH did a thing on test induced d

This debate has been happening since Anglin and Cloudflare. There was a similar discussion when Lauren Southern was banned from Patreon, and Laura Loomer isn't even allowed to order an Uber anymore. This will become more common, all it

On the one hand, dick move. If I leaked that person's twitter messages it'd be a shitstorm. On the other hand, lock down your shit hard. Can't blame them for scraping it all down if it's just hanging out in the open like

What's considered a Nazi just keeps gradually expanding. Twitter seems at that point where any white male is a Nazi, and any woman that loses weight is enabling the white males so are therefore Nazis as well. I'm curious to see wh

If it's already happened to you, why are you happy about this? All this is going to do is create a real market for more decentralisation and censorship resistance, we have a modicum of control now but that's going to evaporate wit

Even though I'm on the right, I have noticed anti-war lefties get banned a lot. Even copblock, something both of the more socially liberal wings of the political spectrum can appreciate, has been banned multiple times.

Everyone I want to talk to is on Telegram now. If you can't manage that, SMS works fine.
