This is the sanest answer. No amount of leadership is going to help an incompetent team. A codebase with massive technical debt, tight coupling, and accidental complexity will be hard to improve incrementally. Impossible without competent e

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Free Software is actually GNU/Free Software. GNU/Free Software is not an ecosystem unto itself, but rather one component of a fully functioning GNU eco

Why are you so triggered that M2 is the best chip on the market? I'm pretty sure that is relevant in a discussion about the CPU market. AMD did a similar thing to Intel with the Ryzen launch. Intel is currently stagnating. They need a

That is by design. A person with complete knowlege is a liability. Workers should be replacable with minimal disruption. It's also less intellectual property to take with you when you leave.

I don't believe in luck. There are mistakes in strategy and timing. People look at stats like "90% of startups fail" and associate it with casino odds. It's deceptive. You don't just get one shot at this. Learn from

Six months, worth it. The best thing you can do is create a product that you yourself want. Trust your instincts and don't doubt your vision. Ignore advice that isn't coming from an entrepreneur.

A corporation took my best ideas and went to market before I could even get started. I didn't make any money but at least I have the feeling of community. /s

That's exactly what you said. Go gaslight someone else.

Which is much different than the "I don't like their opinion, therefore they're stupid" barometer you use.

His example of music as a balance between order and chaos is interesting. If you play entirely within the pentatonic major scale, for example, the sound will be something like a nursery rhyme. If you play a note outside of the scale (introd

Why did it take them 2.5 years to make this discovery? It's not like scientists have been sitting around this whole time. Is the bottleneck a lack of computational power, manpower, or brainpower?

Mars is made of solid volcanic rock covered in dust. If the hypothetical lava tube idea doesn't work, not much else will. My skepticism begins with SpaceX releasing illustrations of a planned above-ground base.[1] Elon has said for the

I've heard of massive dust storms on Mars. This is the first I've heard of deadly dust. It's also bombarded by X-rays and gamma rays. So Mars is completely uninhabitable. Astronauts would need an airlock with chemical shower

The point is you're not solving anything with this approach. You have chosen a lose-lose solution. What people need to understand is that the same problem exists outside of capitalism. You will continue to get the short end of the stic

Doing the minimum or being lazy is pretty bad advice. The smart move is to educate yourself on how to organize a union and put together a game plan. This is what corporations are really afraid of and that is because it's the one thing

The thing that doesn't make much sense to me is the variety of shapes these things come in. Saucer, triangle, tic tac, pyramid, cube, etc. The triangles are probably just military, but where does that leave this other stuff? The milita

I'm not sure what you are referencing from that. It reiterates what I stated, not what you are saying. "Great Artists Steal" etc. The developers sat down and had everything explained to them. I'm not sure what you mean b

It's basically the same as the System 1 which was just a ripoff of the stuff at Xerox PARC. That is where things really went from zero to one, on a lot of things. The same thing happened with programming languages. C sparked a revoluti

Disrupt, yes. Replace, no. Programming is moving to ever higher levels of abstraction. It's just a continuation of the trend. You'll still have the lower levels when you need them. It reminds me of WordPress. It will get the job d

In India, the most significant difference is caused by the caste system. Within this system, the lower caste is considered genetically inferior, lazy, and never completing any hard work. It is perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy as what is t

I would move the project to be under the company instead of your personal account. Place links back to the company on the package website. Link back to your company in the terminal output. I wouldn't go beyond that.

I don't think it's sufficient to say we enjoy music because we evolved to hear animal noises. This lazy hand-waving explanation can hardly be called a hypothesis. Hitting something with a stick and making sounds with your voice is

Critics add no value. They are parasitic individuals that feed off the creations of great men. I'm not sure why you find it odd I browse a forum for creators and hackers. The parasitic people are here too. They are talkers not doers.

Anxiety and depression have a close relationship and both represent a chemical imbalance in the brain. When you have an issue like this to the point of disorder, it's unlikely to be the only problem. Psychiatric labels like PTSD, GAD,

You didn't acknowledge your lack of understanding about search results. The algorithm suppresses results based on location data. Ranking is based on your prior search history. Censorship varies by country. There is no point in continui

Everyone gets different search results. Suppressing content is a form of censorship. You're just out of the loop. Silicon valley is left wing. Anyone paying attention can see they're using these platforms to enact social change. W

I think it would cause a lot of harm. Part of the grieving process is accepting that they are gone. The pain is terrible but I'm not sure that makes it a bad thing. The perspective you gain is powerful.

It is a good message that people need right now. Science was always meant to be questioned. Scientific inquiry and peer review is built upon asking questions. Before science, all we had was blind trust in authority. People must not make the
