I always forget websters definition of punishment is “violent masked unidentified government sanctioned gangs roaming the streets and violently apprehending people” That’s such a great point. Deportation is supposed to be incredibly violent

These people are shuffled around the country without their lawyers being informed and are “lost” in the system for long stretches of time without representation. This means they can’t prove if they are here legally or not. Furthermore, the

If you mean we created an environment where people could come and find success and live their lives, and we perhaps weren’t as strict as we could’ve been in some situations… I don’t think that violently kidnapping people off the streets, wi

we cannot claim to have built human level intelligence until "confidently wrong and doubling down" is the default.

If you make it your thing and keep on being good at your other thing, you’re gonna be 90% more valuable than most of your coworkers. I totally lose respect for sr engineers who can’t write sql to find even simple answers to questions. It’s

I think you may be looking past the point they are making. Rideshare was better, it was cheaper, it was nice. Its no longer better, cheaper, or nicer. They're doing fine for sure.... like the AI companies will be doing fine... but once

not every company is FANG. there are tens of thousands of companies operating at sub trillion dollar valuations which absolutely positively do this. FANG (or even "big tech") is far too narrow to draw any meaningful conclusions in

I’m also surprised at the progress but don’t quite share the “AI is doing a good job” perspective. It’s fine. Some things it’s awful at. The more you know about what you’re asking for the worse the result in my opinion. That said a lot of m

Its sort of crazy to think about how big tech companies have a smaller and smaller window to be a "fun" and interesting story/idea. Facebook was pretty fun for a bit, google was obviously an idea factory for a while and even

we have a concept called a 401k (and for non-profits a 403b). You contribute some % of your paycheck and your employer matches some amount of that (potentially with a vesting schedule) The money can be invested, and then at some age (55.5 i

yeah, i suppose that I haven't personally considered it to be "very personal", but in today's world, I am evaluating stuff pretty frequently.

People have been getting tattoos for a pretty long time. I don't really see this as stopping that? If you have tattoos its entirely possible you'll actually be more careful in the sun by applying sunscreen.... but you also might b

That’s fair in certain parts. I like the balance they struck (at the time at least) of not super in the weeds but not high level tutorial mode. A few things around their orm specifically were a little confusing or sparse at times if memory

in my experience, symfony looked like a massive, old, gross, enterprisy solution... laravel got as far out of my way as it could and had absolutely unbelievable documentation. I am not a php person, but was on a php project and we were tryi

this is SUPER interesting actually. I definitely didn't realize this. I'm still probably going to use a small army of CTEs for this sort of stuff, but I'm very interested to give this a shot the next time I'm exploring a

I appreciate that somebody somewhere may appreciate and enjoy this, but I am not that person. I love SQL. I have always loved SQL. I know why others don't, but I do and its beautiful.

Trump also said he could shoot someone in broad daylight on fifth avenue. I think that might be against some rules though. Idk maybe it can be a campaign promise!

They seem to be still be deciding what the EO actually is, and they also didn’t create a non-governmental entity like trump promised.

DOGE is obviously a completely illegal operation, and I really do hope it will be get reined in before they can cause an issue so big that _even trump's croniest cronies_ have to admit what is going on. For someone who claims to love f

I assume that federal employees are also allowed to disobey "obviously illegal" orders, but I suppose the difference is that they can be retaliated against. Its odd that the president can act out of his authority and make orders t
