Yep, let alone life critical systems. You don't fuck with them just because.
> 17x strike policy for accounts that reportedly engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.” Yep. You can engage in sexually trafficking people 16 times with a warning. 17th is just too much dude. What sort of a…
Brings back memories but I can't say they are good. It was so limited that it was mostly frustration.
It's the reverse of the Cloaca Maxima, the Roman empire sewage system. Facebook is where unprocessed sewage is fed back to the people, straight into their hands.
Before JS had promises, JS code was plagued with the callback pyramid of doom. You needed an advanced masters degree in masochism to endure that. I don't think Python devs would have liked that.
Yep. It's ironic that reddit itself cured my reddit addiction.
No, he's referring to politics. Far-right politics[a] encompasses a range of ideologies that are marked by ultraconservatism, authoritarianism, ultranationalism, radical anti-communism, ethnonationalism, and nativism.…
Totally my feeling too. The formula seems to be: dopamine, dopamine, dopamine, infuriating country dividing content, dopamine, dopamine, dopamine, infuriating country dividing content, dopamine, dopamine, dopamine ...

I learned Perl back in the day. It was fun and powerful. But I think the package management and culture killed it for me. People took pride is writing obnoxiously messy code. Package dependency hell. Gung ho borderline…
I use FreeCAD and it's pretty good. But I think it's impossible to learn by trial and error. MangoJelly has done an amazing job in churning out high quality tutorials for FreeCAD:…
I worked in a factory one summer when I was a teenager. It was a totally brain dead work, but the morale was good. The workers weren't unhappy. I'm concerned that the new role of "manager of agents" (as google puts it)…
Worst thing that happened to programming, eh? Have you tried running a 2 year old javascript/node project that transpiles and gulps it's three billion dependencies into something alien - if it works. Which it won't…

That's very easy and very wrong. Let's say you have a 100 page book. Page 1 contains fundamental knowledge that allows you to understand the rest of it. If you skip page 1 then you won't understand the other 99. How…
Very interesting idea. I remember reading that in visual spoken communications, only 20% is the actual words. The rest is tone of voice, body language, context, emphasis, expressions, ... all that stuff. I don't know if…
