I sort of agree, if you can guarantee the AI generated proof isn't a false positive. To be fair though, your example would be easy to explain to someone. You just show how the encryption algorithm can be trivially broken. A program tha

It's not good in some job negotiations if someone has a very clear picture of what your current net worth and income is. Also in some purchases companies could price discriminate more effectively against you.

I wasn’t able to stomach the idea of Larry Ellison being able to silently nudge my political views so I just deleted the app. Without the allure of China being able to influence my opinion I lost interest.

Yup, that's the problem. They view people as peons. Not people with lives, ambitions, family and friends. The only way to correct that view is to disobey.

It's time to unionize. The top is out of touch and the valuations of these tech titans aren’t just staggering; they’re symptomatic of a system that values profit over people. These tycoons at the helm are not just steering companies—th

Ya. I think people that have better technical vocabulary and an understanding of what should be possible with code do better. That’s usually a senior engineer, but not always

There was only 64% election turnout in 2024. People are not as politically radicalized and polarized as media companies say to increase engagement. Some people are, but the problem is being exaggerated for clicks and views.

I would not be surprised if governments pushing back against all foreign social media is a major theme of the decade. America is basically saying to the world right now foreign social media companies are a major risk. The global reach of Am

The return to office mandate at my company has definitely made most people at my company unhappy. Especially because it's obviously being done as a way to encourage people to quit. As a senior developer I've stopped caring about t

I meant overweight/unhealthy people losing weight would feel better. Totally agree that a heavier athlete wouldn't necessarily feel better with weight loss.

I think the games industry is just to competitive for subscriptions to work. Indie games are more often than not are some of the best games in the year and usually cost half as much as AAA games. Subscriptions could work but there are few p

The code, tests and data is the documentation. If the code is clear the documentation should be short description of features and purpose. Explaining how to setup a development environment is nice for onboarding. Everything else is noise an

No because I believe in workers rights… and freedom of speech. Civil rights are important democratic principles.

Fair point. Banning a social media platform because of topics discussed though seems like a dangerous precedent to set. Seems like a free speech issue to me though. I think most people are aware of the CCP influence on TikTok. I hope report

Due to freedom of speech being a core value of democracy and censorship/information control being a core value of authoritarianism.

There’s a culture war, not a real war with China. If we censor the CCP just like they censor us then we are just as authoritarian as them.

Because if we’re willing to export propaganda and unwilling to receive any in return then we’re a nation of hypocrites.

I don't think tech courses or certificates have ever been a top consideration when reviewing backend engineer qualifications. Only if we're hiring for a specific technology that's niche. Most certificates just teach you how t

Yea a lot of game theory is built on the arbitrary axioms like that people will follow a given strategy with given information, or that there’s common knowledge. In reality people don’t necessarily follow the axioms of the theory.

I mean yes writing the wrong query will give you the wrong results. But there’s nothing inherently risky with a left/right/full join. I could make the same argument about inner joins giving the risk of dropping records you intende

Well another way to think about it is that onboarding new folks is the only way to really check if your following a sane software development practice. If it takes folks more than a few months to onboard, you probably have too many rules, s

A company should demand the documentation they need to understand things when the feature is under-development or shortly afterwards. Documentation takes time. It's their fault for cutting corners and pushing out a product/service

Yea I mean all crowded public places suck if you’re trying enjoy the scenery and relax… I don’t think this product would make it any worse. There’s already plenty of ways to make a lot of noise and annoy folks.

I've always found ETL frameworks to have their own problems. They seem great on paper but usually they don't account for a specific source system, APIs, applications, data size, data distribution or scheduling situations. If your
