Is this perception or reality though? Anecdotally, I don’t know a single person who has been “cancelled”. I share non-orthodox ideas in public all the time and in the worst case scenario it causes a few people not to like me. But who cares

Im on the younger end and I don’t agree with this analysis at all. If it were true you’d see people converging to handful of worldviews espoused by experts which does not map to reality at all. The truth is humans aren’t optimization machin

Nixon was the last “liberal” president. Not really surprising no meaningful reform has been pushed through since him

Yes. The clarity of graphics and diagrams is often degraded when shown on a device. In the past I tried getting around this by using one of those jumbo sized tablets but that was too hard on my eyes (even after turning on night mode). If th

The NGINX config description actually had me laughing out loud. That one seems particularly heinous.

That may be a little too harsh. I will say for me that startups are not able to provide the work experiences I’m interested in due to their size

Thanks for the info, I was wondering what all was involved. I still think that falls under the mundane

Does biometric here mean your passport photo? I totally believe this is the official name, but the nomenclature definitely opens up the possibility of concept creep so that biometric data can mean anything from the mundane to the terrifying

The litmus test is “would cloudflare take them as a customer?” If the answer is no then it’s a red-blooded American publication, if it’s yes then it’s a commie rag

I saw a gap to make that point and shot it. There is definitely formidable institutional inertia blocking meaningful change. I’m hoping history does rhyme and we’ll see an adoption of civil service reform policies by both parties like in th

More of a nitpick but was the USSR not considered a imperialist polity? The ubiquity of the Russian language in Central Asia seems like a strong artifact of colonialism. Even today, Russia is throwing people and resources largely from the (

I see how people come to adopt this perspective. However, because so many tech workers appear ambivalent about their job and tech in general, any signal indicating effort to take control of their career direction is positive. Every member o

Maybe I’m biased due to the content I subscribe to, but Patreon seems to be going for a more sophisticated aesthetic. This comes through even in the name. The word Patreon conjures images of the Medici’s and “elevated” art forms. I think if

Why do these articles never include economic considerations in their analysis? I wouldn’t say culture is entirely downstream of material conditions…but it’s close

The state government of Mississippi, probably one of the worst in the developed world, has been known to impede Jackson from receiving block grants it is eligible for. A massive scandal is coming to a head where a whistleblower allegedly di

There is the alternative of an object based interface like Windows offers. I thought it was an interesting idea until I actually got around to experimenting with Powershell recently. The ergonomics are more akin to Python than any of the GN

I think it’s more of a matching problem. There are lots of students who get nothing out of CS classes. Ideally we would match the available slots with the students with the highest analytical aptitude.

Personally this is one of the reasons I chose to go into software instead of statistics when I was a young math major. The idea that you could make a small mistake that invalidates all your work and you might not even know it until much lat

I don’t disagree with the analysis but the thought that crossed my mind reading it is that the developed world is trending towards the Pakistans of the world, not away. Every year kleptocracy and corruption become more normalized and the “m

It’s definitely not a solved problem. Most developers absolutely would not escape their outputs if left to their own devices

What you are saying absolutely makes sense to me for domains like device drivers. I think it becomes a lot more questionable when your coworker wants to write their own JSON parser or HTTP server for use on a commodity x86 linux box. It’s a

I’d assume the average practitioner who attends systems conferences uses C as one of their primary languages. It seems like it would be redundant to have a language specific conference when it would overlap so much in form and audience wit
