Ethics, what's that? Ethics in era of vibecoding? Ethics - for better or worse - is for suckers.
When a company hires people, will it take in just anyone with a pulse? Tech people look at things in terms of - is this true or not. And "Quality of People" is perfectly accurate description. How it makes you feel about…
Lets presume this thing retails at - very unrealistic low price - of $500. How many people would buy this weird thing per month - even at this low price point? 10? 50? 100? Imagine you're an engineer and your competency…
If China government kickstarted their EV sector (along many others) and enabled them to be competitive, strong and dominating. That means the Chinese government is doing a really good job. I really hate this argument…
Difference between $1 and $.10 is always irrelevant unless you're mass manufacturing, which I presume you aren't on a remote island. Plus, arm cortex-m0+ cores aren't $1, they are also available in $.15-$.30 range.…
> When ordering from AliExpress or Crowd Supply he just gets the cheap postal rates which from China are free. China has amazing prices for genuine electronics components from every manufacturer. Including stm32, NXP as…
I wish we were at the level where some doofus has red too many "Gang of Four" "Design Patterns OOP" bullshit books and gone to town. Because that would be way better than what we have now. Whenever I run a thing and…
Man, every time where there's a Chinese product category you realistically can't compete with - it's always some excuse of - because Chinese state is subsidizing it and supporting it. All it does is simply makes the…
> I don’t trust anyone who has the general, abstract goal of being a “founder”. The goal isn't abstract - read it as - goal of "not being a wage-slave" and have a shot at being more. It's an ambition type of thing.

> Quick question, how do you know what's right and what's wrong? So, wait a minute, you've got no idea what's right or wrong - and you're incapable deriving and figuring it out on your own? Thus, without delegating your…
> Same for non-Christian people, mind you. Yes, but with Christians there's always some sort of thick-layer of self-serving dishonesty on top of it all. Imagine a person goes out of his way and really helps you out in a…
Yes, yes, Christians will "strive" to do better, but never really have try that hard, because you know, it's never gonna be "good enough" anyway, therefore accept that you will do "sometimes-woops" fucked up things, and…

The problem, fundamentally, is that unlike a computer program that won't compile if there's syntax errors, or that will crash on null pointer dereference, etc. There's no such mechanisms in place to ensure logical…
If they take the most absurd interpretation or nitpick about irrelevant details that doesn't take away from the crux of the point you're making - and that's the best they can do - are they really intelligent? Or are you…
The frustrating part about arguing - on the internet: 1. Infinite supply of people. 2. 90%+ of times before you get anywhere, you find out the person doesn't have "what it takes". At minimum you have to filter out 90%+…

"money can't buy happiness" is a poor mans cope. It's a comforting lie for proletariat, the opium for the goycattle. If you can't buy happiness either one of these is true: 1. You don't have enough money to buy it.…
Dude, every sane language out there does this. Just generally with 4byte prefix. Null-terminated stuff has always been backwards compat stuff. Pascal strings - historically and why people even remember this being an…
Yup, and there you go confirming beyond sliver of doubt that you're a genuine, certified "akshually" type redditor. Fundamentally incapable of distilling the substance of the argument, and always latching onto any…

Pentium 1 133mhz ran Quake2 pretty darn well as long as you had hardware accel. Without hadware accel it was ass. (maybe even Pentium 100)
