Reminds me this great story from a different era:
A software engineer that loves Disroot and the team behind it.
Reminds me this great story from a different era:
Nah, he’s not that great… We already see him giving a silent nod to investors while ignoring how bad housing situation is in the country. Also, coalition with the left is mostly on paper - he claimed he’d clean up the mess with Catholic church reducing its funding. Now the church is getting comparable money from the new government. I don’t trust them.
Is that number with us in this room right now?
But where’s Saddam? 🤔
It would be as good as letting MS Song Smith generate soundtrack for “Whiplash” 🤭
You could step up for animals while still being a nice person - it was your decision not to.
I keep telling myself that in the ideal world, phones would be programmed in Forth.
Because it doesn’t exist! Mastodon is a conspiracy created to distract us, so we don’t act. New World Order is coming!
Also, messages travel trough Tor, so you get P2P and identity. The coolest IM.
The hardest too, because you should only add contacts verified face to face. (Technically you can add remote contacts but they’ll be marked as not fully trusted.)
That comment… Oh my, I want to joke and talk someone like you! Now!
I tried searching for research on it, but only found results claiming this didn’t work… Not actual scientific research, but better than “we think this should work, so now we’ll try selling it”
I love this comment and Sun Tzu reference, thank you so much for posting it!
And “Y” stands for “Your Mom”. But it was a one night stand…
C Tesseract has this interstellar vibe and brings quotes like the following, but with a totally different meaning:
I’m trying to convince a senior developer from the team I’m a member of, to stop using copilot. They have committed code that they didn’t understand (only tested to verify it does what it’s expected to do). I doubt it’d succeed…
They’ve got Paid BSOD, I’ve got FreeBSD, we’re not the same.
You were so close! The right solution is of course training an AI model that detects credentials and rejects commits that contain them!
I’m not ignoring the other two things listed, I’m realistic.
You described it like it was something rare for FAANG to do bad things. Or like it was bad only when it required whistleblowing… Think how many things got crushed by EEE tactics, and it’s only one class of examples of why big tech is inherently bad.
You could say the same about eating meat or any other cause. What’s the difference, the animal is already dead anyway, right? Well, it’s not that simple.
Thanks to the growing number of people who eat less or no meat at all, meat production is decreasing. If all of them kept saying that one man boycott makes no difference, the change would not come.
If you can’t find a better job - fine, work for the evil FAANG or whatever. We live in capitalism and it’s clear we need to work somewhere. But at least be honest and don’t look away from inconvenient truth. There’s still something good you could do while keeping the job at $evil_company
. For example, you can support financially those who haven’t got nice jobs in IT.
If you enjoyed it, I’ve collected a couple of others:
