Cambridge. The job market is absolute trash right now and you managed to get your foot in the door at Amazon anyway. If you can do it now, you can certainly do it with your masters later if needed.

It's important to understand that what we have, we have because of a comparatively small group of people. That's important and interesting because it means you can influence the outcome of an election in two ways: 1. Get people to

If I’m going to be responsible for the code that Claude writes on my behalf, I’m also going to take full responsibility for the moment that it is added to the project history, so I’m going to at least review every line before I allow that t

Ha, excellent. I think you'll appreciate this then: https://imgflip.com/i/aswdth I had a 50/50 chance of guessing which side of the bell curve you were on and I was wrong. :)

I have a theory. How close does the following describe you? * You're an engineer with 3-6 years of experience in a primarily IC role * Maybe you've done some tech lead stuff, but you've never actively worked in engineering ma

You understand how this sounds, right? It’s very “I totally have a girlfriend but she lives in Canada and is a model” vibes. Do you have literally any proof? Otherwise, this is all just a silly made up story as far as I’m concerned.

To be clear, your claim is that 'much of the drug trade is r[u]n less than consensually' via some kind of undocumented, unknown-to-most brain implant that can be used to remotely torture people for non-compliance? That claim falls

If you've grown a ton of tomatoes, you're probably doing it for the express purpose of profiting from it. To dial back the scope to something more comparable, if I have 4-5 tomato plants, I'm going to have all the tomatoes I

I, too, find myself wondering why this seems to be such an intractable problem. Maybe it's just misaligned incentives? That is, the phone companies really only care as much as they need to in order to prevent you leaving for another ph

shrug maybe so. But then again, I can't say I'm too torn up about losing support for an EOL OS version.

Sure, but that doesn't address GP's argument, which I _think_ is "there's a time and a place for those criticisms, and _literally every time emacs is brought up in a public forum_ ain't it"

“I want this feature” and “I want this feature to not exist” are fundamentally incompatible viewpoints when applied to any given feature. It seems like adding that feature and making it opt-in is a good middle ground. The people that want i
