Society made religion optional through scientific inquiry. It can make America optional too as no theory of science suggests it’s existence is immutable law. It’s going to be a real adjustment for you to accept a lot of people are without s

I wasn’t boosting past software. Doing so would be banal nostalgia. I’m saying the doing matters, not the software; we throw it away and regenerate it all the time. It’s disposable ephemera. It’s literally just the creative process that mat

Maybe it’s a bit literal but I see lots of people at computers planning updating just like I did 20 years ago. From the IT workers context a lot has changed but the end user outputs are still; video game, chat app, email app, todo app, fint

Apple employees have the freedom to create without coercion. You would need to lobby to change law, not preach to the choir here. That’s what Spotify and Musk are doing; trying to manipulate public perception to influence politicians. The p

I agree with your analysis of how I see things. I disagree that I am “caught up” on anything. I have a preference that’s been refined over time. Not a psychological error in perception.

If you stick to arbitrary software industry definitions. As a hardware engineer first, it’s all “monolith of electron state” to me.

Agreed. My point is I am not going to see a marketer as aiming for the same goal “as an experimental physicist.” To borrow the Lindy effect; whether someone likes the jacket in color A or B is of such short lived value it’s a huge waste of

Advertisers and marketers use the equations but measure contemporary trends. Science is more “what’s true if humans didn’t exist.” Marketing is more “what widget generates more revenue?”

People will either intentionally sacrifice to slow climate change or destroy itself. Neoliberal society will come to an end one way or another.

Right; it came about as experiments suggested something actually did exist. It’s not the same kind of gibberish “mechanical flight is impossible” ended up being.

They didn’t predict global warming. They measured directly industrial emission accumulation and predicted an impact on human health. Global warming is a colloquialism. The researchers did the science that gives rise to it. Luminiferous Aeth

Extensive dependency chain of brittle logic that needs tons of planning and preparation to update and manage is not unreasonable description for microservices architecture from an ops perspective. Sure generated book sales, crowning of thou

So a code monolith I can just dump on a Linux box is in again? Our figurative ideas, ephemera, seem to be in a loop of taking a simple mental model, branching it into a mess, feeling over extended, circling back to a simpler mental model, b

What’s ludicrous is the idea they can close up shop altogether in the US and 300 million plus will just sit on their hands and do nothing. Twice as many guns as people over here. The public will make a new economy without them. Real people

Your ISP and mobile provider still know :) your gadgets have registered IDs in the hardware. Every mechanical thing we come up has a decode-able sequence. DIY filter bubbles each of a unique configuration, decoupled from someone else’s mono

Timezones and language barriers eat into the profits fast. What’s with the idea though that 300 million people can just be ignored? Me thinks you’ve let yourself get lost in the economic philosophy and detached from reality. There is no jus

Been thinking about this as well. Working on language native libs to react to eBPF telemetry and scale logic forks appropriately to avoid exhausting the host, motivated by disdain for Docker/k8s. I’d rather just import a dep and develo

A growing segment of our society is tired of serving cushy office workers. I would not be so sure there isn’t a massive amount of potential energy among the public to put video game companies out of work and increase the pool of “essential

I was building packet schlepping hardware for Nortel from 99-02; I know “how the internet works”. I was suggesting a change in social norms not technical. There’s no reason I need all the engineering of Facebook to directly share with a few

I am reciting my own inner monologue reminding myself we’re each just one of billions, nothing special. None of my posts address anyone else specifically at all. Qualified truth is relative. This is all generic language. You’re hardly sayin

That’s your reductive view of the public. I don’t think they’re dimwitted NPCs, but being treated disingenuously by people who think they’re NPCs. The public is very aware they don’t deference to any particular individual. Musk, or you. At

The indie web could easily exist via self host Docker from home and a central index to start for anyone that wants to peer. Web apps are not programming but dependency management these days. Making a private tribal bubble online is easier t

Yeah I mean the public could not logon for a day to send a message too. I mean that as a euphemism for broader ideas I won’t elaborate on. But let Musk do it, we don’t want that responsibility. Social media either makes it clear the general

Elon Musk’s existence does not give rise to reality. The knowledge and ability to do these things is not his alone as clearly he relies on a lot of workers. If society should really do these things is not for him to dictate via Twitter.

It used to cost X to run corp A, now it costs Y, where Y is Z times higher than X. Millions to billions in this case. Don’t forget to add in the cost of social programs their employees rely on given the abysmal pay in order to keep your num

It would require Apple engineer for the use case, and opens them to legal risk in our society. So the freedom angle to them is they don’t have to schedule the meetings and be compelled to speak the questions and answers to output what you w
