Eh, most of the benefits are offset by the stress of having to care about the needs of corporate america and all the ensuing implications of making a living by destroying society. Just because it's not a physical job…
The dysfunction at those places is more than enough to cause burnout by itself. Source: I work at one such job now.
> I'm happier making my own deal with the boss. And i bet your boss is even happier!
I suspect many of these open source developers are employed in this capacity on some level by for-profit corporations (which sadly does bring a high degree of dysfunction in terms of resource allocation). But I can't…
Hell no. That's what the state and taxes are for. I certainly don't need more crap from a gift shop in my life. The reason why I'm proud to be an american is because we fund stuff like this an national parks and…
I don't think it's depressing—every generation has to find their own voice.
Strikes me as quite a positive thing that the romance was removed from this situation.
> You can configure it with a GUI, or in XML, or using a type safe Kotlin DSL. This is making me realize I want a CI with as few features as possible. If I'm going to spend months of my life debugging this thing I want…
The browser is a platform lockin. One with shitty search and spam on most pages and javascript. Maybe we need a new type browser that doesn't try to be an app platform but rather tries to be a document browser.

If chatgpt is scraping the web, why can they not link tokens to source of token? being able to cite where they learned something would explode the value of their chatbot. At least a couple of orders of magnitude more…
80 years ago we were intentionally firebombing European civilian populations. I don't think it's a comparable situation. Israel has no justification for engaging in total war tactics (or rather, the justification is…
Yes, blog posters keep writing. This does not imply anything about whether or not it's a waste of time to read. But, substack is where the comments are, and the comments are generally the valuable part.
Israel is using AI to murder people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_G... It's not clear this is any different from just bombing random locations, but we're certainly already at the bad place.…
Surely google translate would be less of a waste of energy.
The downvoting here (as well as comment scoring) is probably my least liked thing about the site. It exacerbates the already prominent issue of hivemind and seems to actively lower the quality of discussion. People seem…
That's hardly isolated to this site. COVID did a number on us. Fwiw, people have been saying this since the site started. Don't worry. There will always be a safe space for rich assholes to divorce themselves from…
> You’ll get your data synced for you How does this happen without an interface for conflict resolution? That's the hard part.
Graphs don't really capture the entirety of hashmaps and other indexing concerns. Other than that yea I agree.
I cannot overemphasize how dumb it is to allow your isp to see what you're doing.
