All tools are not equally safe nor should they all be publicly available.
A chainsaw is a tool that you might cause harm with if you use it in stupid ways. We don’t give chainsaws out to children. We don’t use chainsaws for cutting dinner.
There are human elements to the problem but that’s not a big reveal.
I dislike postman. I see job postings that are like “MUST KNOW POSTMAN”. Fuck, people should know how to make API requests but postman isn’t the only tool for that.
Furthermore, if I’m doing automated tests to run on PR I’m not going to use a GUI. Pytest or jest or whatever testing library your language has.
I did use Bruno for a while for convenience during local development, though.
I don’t think the conservatives really understand the meanings of words
Many of them know they are using words dishonestly. They don’t care. They will say whatever in the pursuit of power.
Some are just legitimately stupid and have no internal consistency beyond emotions.
Surely we’ve all seen the relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/1217/
I think a lot about how one time we spent s few hours estimating how long a project would take. Management came back and said no, that’s too long, we’d need to finish in a month.
Well if that’s how long it has to take why not lead with that?
Bunch of idiot empty husks doing cargo-cult “agile”
Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.
That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.
No government should be relying on private platforms like that.
The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.
Yes. They are stupid and don’t deserve their huge paychecks.
They could’ve done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would’ve had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.
We need more than resignation. We need real punishments.
There are many, many, people that could be granted good bus service without tearing down and rebuilding the world. The problem is political. Every day and every dollar we put into other lesser solutions comes with a large opportunity cost.
Imagine if we’d focused on buses for the past 22 years instead of waymo. How many people could be served by the $16 billion in funding waymo got?
I’d rather live somewhere with buses and trains. You can get places when old and/or drunk, you build a better world for everyone, and you don’t funnel money into shitty privately owned tech companies.
I would be more than willing to carry around my own spoon, fork, and more, if it meant less plastic crap everywhere
The “and” in the title is key. Humans can currently choose their gender expression, so that part can be stripped out with no changes to the world. Not assigning gender at birth is an interesting thought. Some people are really, from my view, weird about making sure their children perform gender correctly as early and often as possible.
Also I think it’d be neat if it was “genre” in English too. People understand there’s more genres than horror and fantasy.
Everyone who supported the Jan 6 insurrection should be ineligible to hold office per the existing amendments, for starters.
I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)
Richardson remembers that whenever Ceccanti would emerge from the basement for some air, he would start having “philosophical” talks about “how his work with the AI was telling him he was breaking math and basically reinventing physics”. As she’d listen to him, Richardson would think about the fact that Ceccanti did not have any college or university experience. He had never even taken calculus.
Tangent, but I think this is another facet of why education is important: so people know what they don’t know. I think it’s harder to think you’re reinventing physics when you’ve taken some classes and seen all the work people have already done.
On the other hand, delusions can just be whatever so education isn’t a panacea.
You can also buy drm free music from sites like Bandcamp. I don’t feel bad buying from smaller groups. Joyride! might actually notice the $10 from me buying their new album.

They really think we’re stupid. Unfortunately, they may be mostly right.
Every conservative accusation is a confession.
Do we though?
