Around that same time my own brother was working at the second largest record label in the world and their own servers were hacked and serving about 1/3 of global warez downloads. Law enforcement didn’t get involved and nobody did shit

Aren’t you a career service for software engineers and not actually direct hiring? Post your website. I found a domain but it doesn’t resolve.

So was my Prusa and they don't violate the GPL or lock me into their ecosystem. To each their own I guess.

It doesn't though because absolutely zero people working on Omarchy give a single f because they already know who DHH is and decided to contribute.

But Omarchy has no internal drama. It's entirely external drama around how noninvolved parties feel about DHH. That's way different than internal drama or upstream drama affecting your project.

Yeah but it was also made to showcase GNOME, which was kind of its own huge drama at that time. I mean I can't even believe you're seriously posting this. It was created intended to be a marketing tool and for something folks had

That's a reputation it had in the 90s to early 00s and has long since lost. Even in recent years the drama within Debian has been incredibly high. A lot happened in debian-private, despite "We will not hide problems" being p

The bar is a lot higher when you're empowered and capable. Like a lot a lot a lot. And that's before we had LLMs writing code. So really it's basically orbital now. The fractional pennies in tokens it could have taken to fix

One company I was at sold its product claiming any changes you made were “near instantly published” globally. They tried to demo it as such. The way the engineers built the update/publish operation was synchronous from their primary d

I solve real problems at scale and the engineering practices I see on a daily basis are a clown show. There's little to no basic understanding of networking, distributed systems, databases, etc. 99% of our engineers were hired from th

They aren't? The US government has authority over its borders and assets within them. This is an action that is perfectly legal and enabled by acts of Congress. It actually has real teeth. I don't necessarily agree with it eithe

Nice whataboutism. All UN member states are de facto part of the ICJ. If you have a valid claim against a nation, the proper place to pursue that is the ICJ. Hate what the US and Israel are doing or not, what the ICC is doing here is entir

They have/had broker/no-broker categories and I never had the budget for broker. The broker ones are kinda big scammers though, from what I remember.

Brokers still gatekeep the best inventory in NYC for the most part. Every craigslist apartment I ever found was sketchy as hell.

Correct. This is so wildly misunderstood. Zimmermann was investigated for 3 years but formal charges were never filed.

I would also say Brazil and Ireland are unusually friendly & warm compared to most of the world. Irish people making small talk is practically a competitive sport.

Everything around Rust is political, so the license choices are also about political statement.
