My 2 cents: they're too expensive. We had code school grads asking for $110-$130. Meanwhile, I can hire an actual senior engineer for $200 and he/she will be easily 4x as productive and useful, while also not taking a ton of ment

Oh it certainly does. America has let the requirements for behavior in our larger cities decay to openly allowing criminal behavior. It's wild.

The first paragraph basically explains: > Meta Platforms is building a $27 billion data center in Louisiana, financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet. The rest discusses the details

Or maybe just get comfortable with adding versions and deprecation. eg optparse to argparse (though tbf, I would have just preferred it was optparse2). Or maybe the problem is excessive stability commitments. I think I prefer languages t

I don't think, except for a direct regression, it's even possible to define a bug in a way that isn't the same as a feature request. They're identical: someone wants the software to do X, it doesn't do X, maybe we

I get that; the cost of enforcement makes that likely negative (possibly even very negative) to the system. My claim is letting trash act like, well, trash and street people wild out on the system drives lots of commuters off. And ime, the

I suspect people want fare enforcement basically because it helps keeps the aggressive/crazy/assholes off. Not because they want to collect more money. Anecdotally, the bart gates seem to have improved the riding experience. Some

Discovering new settings that I was opted in to without being asked does not scream good faith. Separately, their help docs are gibberish. They must use this phrase 20 times: "content is not used for training generative AI models outs

Sorry, that's nonsense. cpra has a carveout for small businesses. gdpr has your one person company obey the same rules as meta.

People should deal with the world as it is, not as they wish it were. As it is, open job reqs get hammered. A hiring manager needs to rapidly discard 95% or more of resumes to get down to a manageable number to directly review. The last t

Kinda feels like they gave up on getting devs to write well-behaved apps by asking nicely, so now they're charging them. :shrug: $1/20k gets shouldn't be a big deal?

What absolute nonsense. There's a gulf of difference between "there's no way 500+ codecs contributed mostly by unpaid hobbyists is robust to hostile input" and "here's working exploit code."

Be careful, the Europeans tried (had the python foundation not pushed back hard, would have) and still would love to require anyone who's ever built a piece of software to perform maintenance for them on demand.

Even if they have real-world impact: ffmpeg is a volunteer project. With (ffmpeg -codecs | wc -l) 519 codecs. This will trivially exhaust available ffmpeg eng resources.
