over the years I have seen a good 30% refuse to do it I'll do reasonable take homes, but I'll often pass on interactive coding sessions. I don't like coding in a browser, and I use my dev tools as a major crutch. "Why…
There is too much to learn out there It's crazy. I sometimes get the itch to learn a new language like Rust, but I haven't even come close to reaching the bottom of all the languages I already know. They are inventing…
I'm working with a junior dev now and the phrase that I keep repeating is "slow the fuck down". He's completely frantic with the copy and paste. I'm watch him google something, click the first link, paste the code into…
Everything is going to be okay.
>its possible to convince people of really anything with enough exposure Not really. You can spend days, weeks, and months; millions of dollars; thousands of paid shill accounts; all geared towards selling a single lie.…
>Within reason of course, nobody wants Nazis or Pedophiles to spread their opinions because they are obscene. Who decides what's reasonable? Who decides what constitutes a "Nazi" or a "Pedophile"? If someone tries to…
That's a very diplomatic way to say he's crazy and people who put him on a pedestal are crazy for doing it; despite occasionally have a valid point. Also I agree 100%.
>Do not most free democratic countries practice 'secret ballot' voting specifically because not doing so caused all kinds of problems like voter intimidation? Seems like you answered your own question right there. A…
Public voting is not status quo outside of Debian. In the real world the only places that have public voting are places that are controlled by dictators.
But it's deceptive and political to complain 3 and 4 are too similar but then not also state that 1 and 2 were too similar. 2 also lost votes to 1 being similar. Also 3 and 4 were not similar. 3 would have changed the…
But NOTA and Affirm the Public Vote are not the same. Choosing ATPV would have changed the constitution. NOTA would not have changed the constitution. If this were an American election full of idiots and people who have…
>If those two were represented as a single "NOTA" option, that option would have won the ballot in terms of votes. Looks like Option 1 and 2 were similar enough to "split the vote" too. What would have happened if 1 and…
There are exceptions. Mostly in the realm of regulations. Sometimes you pay for programming that you simply have to do by law, even if you don't actually want it.
>if that were the case we would all run "programs " 24/7 on our computers and produce infinite value. Ever heard of bitcoin mining? j/k :D
A penny saved is a penny earned. Many programmers are employed to automate tasks and reduce labor requirements. That adds value to the organization. You are splitting hairs by saying "the program" vs "the programming".…
If you work 40 hours a day and you feel everyone around you is moving in slow motion and you need to fill your day with extra stuff just to give everyone else a chance to catch up then you probably aren't supposed to be…
>because results on other sites aren't trustworthy Reddit is gamed way more than google. Paid posters, moderation of anything against a narrative. Google search may be dying, but reddit ain't doing much better.
I have to occasionally remind myself that games have not become bad. I've gotten old. I can only imagine what it's like to be 12 and play Fortnight. They can republish Command and Conquer, but that feel will never be…
What is a fairer way to allocate resources than you produce for me and I produce for you? Seems to me any other system is open to being gamed. Sure there are people born into generational wealth. But those are like one…
COVID is a great example of how humanity adapts to danger. You lived through a global lockdown and the invention of an entirely new vaccination technology over the course of 8 months. Now you still feel the need to…

I don't disagree with any of that. People should pursue alternate energy sources. However world governments should not be putting their fingers on the scales in favor of green energy. Legislators who also just happen to…
We don't do that currently because there hasn't been a new plant built in 50 years and the designs of the old plants were specifically engineered to make materials for nuclear weapons. If there wasn't a huge stigma…
Agreed. It could also be real but no where near as serious as they are claiming. Mankind went from the first manned flight to footprints on the moon in 60 years. I'm not losing any sleep about a mathematically…
