If Florida is anything to go by, the person responsible for this will run for Governor then Senator while winning both elections.

Saying their arguments are bad but the dog ate your response isn't exactly convincing either.

America has used this same time period to sell out jobs to the lowest bidder, decimate its manufacturing industry to make a quick buck, is willing to sell "critical" tech to "enemies" to make a buck, make billions off of

I'd buy these arguments if America was a place that cared about its citizens and not a country that lets a small group of very elite, very rich, people ruin the lives of tens of millions of Americans subjecting them to poverty to make

It's like how the Sackler's did everything they can to make opioids more addictive and increase profit margins, there is virtually no difference between this and Zuckerberg hiring psychologists to make his apps more addictive.

Your link has an invalid cert FYI, but do appreciate the knowledge drop. Rung buffers are some of the cooler data structures out there.

I thought this rule only applied to users commenting with each other, didn't know it applied to posted content too.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding, I'm not saying that the NSA would be buying XSS scripts. I'm saying that if this was 35 years ago the NSA would be buying exploits with common user software. Back then the exploits were "les

I mean if this was the 90s, yes it was true but you are also correct that it's very rare for anyone to be in prison for just marijuana alone in the US. Even in states where it's "illegal."

I don't think it's fair to hold them to the same, or higher standard. at all this is literally a project being maintained by one individual. I'm sure if they were given $5 million in seed money they could probably provide 100

The book "This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends" by Nicole Perlroth, while it's about the history of cyberweapons it does a very good job detailing the late 90s to early 2010s exploit market. I don't have it in front o

Back in the day the US government would give you $20k-60k cash in a nice briefcase for this type of exploit. Just another thing big tech has ruined I suppose.

Is it really fair to compare an open source project that desperately wants only $60k a year to hire a dev with companies that have collectively raised over billions of dollars in funding?

Aha! I think I know my contention with this advice now. Who can actually disagree with this? Like I'm saying yes to everything, no one I know would say no to this. Never had a coworker say aloud: "I want to write code to make thin

I use AI every day and run my own local models, that has nothing to do with seeing sales people acting like sales people or conmen being con artists. Also add in the fact that big tech has been extremely damaging to western society for the

I'm not saying I don't like their attitudes but it's a viewpoint I am struggling with myself. I'm starting to realize caring about all these minutia of details that don't really matter for my professional goals. I k

Probably a nuanced point in what's the purpose for espousing the virtues of performance if you don't have the output to show it is worth it? If you want advice about making games would you rather learn from the person that routine

No because programmers aren't the ones pushing the wares, it's business magnates and sales people. The two core groups software developers should never trust. Maybe if this LLM craze was being pushed by democratic groups where cit

People are allowed to reject whatever they want, I'm sorry that democracy is failing you to make slightly more money while the rest of society suffers. I'm glad people are grabbing the reigns of power back from some of the most ev

These people are working on destroying the planet to make more money, they absolutely do not care. Our society isn't set up to punish them, but encourage such behavior to even more extremes (see datacenter build outs causing water shor

Egghead.io is not worth it, the courses there have a shelf life even shorter than frontendmasters. Authors mostly use it to dump their wares then never update the course afterwards while breaking API changes litter their backlog making most

I'm sure if Codeberg had equivalent resources they'd be good, hard to fault a nonprofit for not benefiting from a trillion dollar multinational corporation. What was GitHub's excuse for their failures?

Perfectly good excuse to make society worse for people. Oh wait, what's that? It's not a good excuse? Oh okay.

Well looked at what has always happened in society when young people have no hope for the future: massive societal disruption mostly in the forms of revolution + violence. Since this isn't the 1800s anymore there won't be any majo

It is absolutely the the role of government to regulate commerce and establish competitive markets (note the lack of the word free here). I also have zero faith in tech leadership as they have been the major driver of mass misery across hum

It's not US government's job to help bad business leaders, they should do a better job of running their companies than using them as a slush fund. This company would have probably flourished if it had workplace democracy but inste

This looks like a way to force a few key players to gobble up all the federal dollars by forcing many executive controlled agencies to be force fed these LLM solutions because these same key players cannot sell their wares to the public so

You should look up something called the "Rehn–Meidner model:" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehn%E2%80%93Meidner_model Sounds similar to what you're asking for.
