Hmm. A sufficiently technologically advanced human species may greatly accelerate the arrival of the next extinction event.

Sometime this also happens in person. Also being shamed for everything you do as bad for the environment or bad for human right does not work.

Lol. People have been leaving in large numbers ever since this circus began. The exodus will continue.

Yup. Sort of upset as I think with better form/style more people would have been exposed to his idea.

Stephenson is a bit more polished than PKD but your point still stands.

The 3 Stigmata is my favourite PKD book. Apart from some of his obscure stuff I've read everything he wrote

by x86x87 4y ago
PKD is my favorite writer of all times. I believe that even for his greatest works the writing could have been more polished, way better. The thing is PKD does not get you with the form of the writing but with the ideas that he captures. Tr

This is IMHO a very naive take on software engineering and on keeping a complex system running. There is no way we're going to see a 70% cut and twitter survives. There is also no way an outside party cam figure out what the "unim

Due diligence happens before not after the deal closes. This is not due diligence, it's a clown show
912.
by x86x87 4y ago
Yeah no. I still don't see it. You claim "I could review the 200-500kloc codebases". I've worked on due diligence from both sides of the table in the past and this is not how it works.
913.
by x86x87 4y ago
That's shifting the goalposts quite a bit. You're looking for process, you are also asking for pointers from the people working on the project. Throwing out numbers like 500kloc is completely unnecessary as you're not going t

In 8 hours I would be surprised if you got more than a 10000 feet view. Also, there is deployment, ops, policy. To say you got everything you needed in 8 hours is disrespectful at best (even for way smaller code bases)
915.
by x86x87 4y ago
You need to write a book and/or explain how you can review 500kloc in 8 hours. That sounds ridiculous to me but I may be missing something

Hahaha. No. They switched to the JVM eons ago. Also, you are severely underestimating how difficult it is to build and run something like twitter at scale.

by x86x87 4y ago
In theory you are right. In the real world the reality is that most of the software out there is built on the shoulders of open source. Due diligence for every thing you pull in (along with planning on what to do if you need to remove/

There is a joke at some point in time where they say pathway electronics is going to merge with etech management. And they're gonna call the new company path-e-tech management. How would a kid get this joke?

Imho this is about priorities not deciding to not enforce the law. If the cops have nothing to do and a law is broken they should invetigate. They don't get to sit on their buts complaining about the da

Nah. If you get to pick and choose you are no longer law enforcement. I get prioritization and I get that there are nuances and circumstances but if I break the law and nothing happens and another person breaks the law and they get in troub

I mean... Are you saying that there is social inequality? There is a risk/reward analysis that should go into the decision to loot a Walgreens. If you have nothing to lose or are desperate you're more likely to give 0 fucks and th

by x86x87 4y ago
That's true. But cops also do not get to decide what they investigate based on their own beliefs and biases.

by x86x87 4y ago
Law enforcement is useless if they pick and choose which laws to enforce. Laws themselves are pointless if they are not enforced (or even worse: selectively enforced)
