This is such a bizarre myth but I guess it matches your priors.

I think this specific thing is more an effect of human brains trying to stereotype complicated things. "all regulations are bad" is a much simpler premise than "rule #3.70.66.345 should be adjusted to consider multiple drive

Some corps live 1 year and others have been around for 150+ and they all use central planning. This seems unrelated.

Uh, maybe, but if you're already thinking about things as "just refusing to buy into either tribe's propaganda and FUD." then you're pretty clearly not actually objectively considering reality.

I had the complete opposite experience. Perlmonks and irc were amazing resources for a budding developer.

I've always had a weird fondness for the apache configuration format. It's a nice mix of syntax that looks like what it does and general support. It's probably stockholm syndrome.

For all its sins, google had a vested interest in the sites it was linking to stay alive. Llms don't.

The distinction, I believe, is between "possible" and "easy". Go makes a lot of very specific things easy via some of its design choices with language and tooling. As a counter example, it seems like e.g. c++ is mostly c

I don't think anyone is seriously arguing that what you did is impossible, merely unlikely. You, presumably, worked extremely hard at things you thought would help you long term. You also, presumably, got lucky at some points. One does

Sure, the point is that doing all of that is more expensive , in terms of time, money, flexibility and stress, than owning a washing machine. The difference is that you need $x00 to invest into the washing machine to then benefit fromt ove

This definitely comes up a lot and I've never found a satisfactory way to get through to these people that you can both work hard and be lucky. The ultimate point is to get people to empathize with others, it's easy, especially in

How exactly do you expect an ambulance to be able to reach any part of a county in under 12 minutes??

The term "phenomenon" is so vague as to be useless. If you have an actual example of someone doing something meaningful, do let me know. Just for you I went and re-read the study you linked and promptly found this: https:/&#

I'm genuinely confused what I'm supposed to take away from this, although the tweet seems to say it was created by palantir for the sake of public relations?

I haven't personally implemented one but I'll quote someone who has spent a lot more time on it: > Many of these implementations are ad-hoc, one-off solutions. They aren't using any shared library or codebase.2 Terminal em

I'd like to make the distinction between text, indeed, word/command based interfaces and "terminal". It so happens that right now one is synonymous with the other but there's no instrinsic requirement. There's

I've never understood why people were so proud to brag that they can't understand a relatively simple language like perl.

Some people like naziism. Those people were wrong. This isn't some kind of "oh morality is relative and somethings are cultural", it's just objectively wrong, regardless of who or how many people claim to like it.

You're arguing against a point I didn't make. What you're saying is that these people don't do this in order to make a profit, they gain other benefit. My point is that the cost/labor to produce an item has no rea
