> Will you also complain when enough Waymo cars start running on the freeways that a couple of them in a row can effectively enforce following distances and speed limits, for example? In my state, that would itself be a traffic violation

Shell scripts are a byproduct of the shell existing. Generations of programmers have cut their teeth in CLI environments. Anything that made shell scripts "no longer a thing" would necessarily destroy the interactive environment

Chase Private Client refunds ATM fees too. It's especially nice if you live in a location where a substantial fraction of Chase ATMs and branches are shuttered!

Sibling reply notes the "process" is the problem, amd I would second that. I would also like to add, it's perfectly possible to produce a high quality code base with poor practices. This can happen with very small, expert t

If TikTok didn't exist, wouldn't you expect those Pro-Palestine viewpoints to appear somewhere else? The whole thing is unverifiable because we have no test/control, but it seems implausible that the platform was the only av

Why exclude indentation? A block of code that is indented say... 5 levels deep at 4 spaces is missing 20 columns. If that loss of space gives the developer discomfort, it sounds like a healthy reminder about complexity. Every level of ne

He fell off the rails when Trump was running for office. I remember being really disappointed to see the trading observations (and his own product advertisement) replaced by political rants.

I think it's quite different. It involves money, but QE is all about monetary supply and interest rates alone. Buying entire companies comes with a lot more implications, like decision-making power over the organization. You want tha

> the government doesn't have to spend taxpayer money on countless r&d experiments If you expect the government to make a tender offer on the largest market-cap companies, they sure as heck _are_ paying for r&d indirectly.

I can't speak for anyone else, but this can clearly be interpreted on a personal level. Every day I can do my best to influence public policy; but even if I am successful, a policy change takes time. In the meantime, I can decide whet

A perfectly efficient market is the asymptote, you would never actually reach it. In any case, if everyone had an omniscient genie, then free will would clearly not exist the way we understand it. That doesn't sound like a fun world,

I rented an electric car from Hertz out of necessity. They gave me NO information about this functionality, and in a new car UI my priorities were covering the basics for safe travel. This is not a realistic perspective, that EV-specific

Ehhh I think labeling user input as backpressure, because the software is waiting for _input_, is somewhere between confusing and inaccurate. When I have seen backpressure discussed in my day job, it has always involved a (theoretical or r

A rebase to clean up your branch is great, and I lean on my team to do this. Unfortunately it's impossible to automate, because it amounts to craftsmanship. I've seen larger teams fall back to squash-merging, which at least disc

It can be, but usually isn't. Similarly, dropping a feather and a bowling ball simultaneously might be science, or might not be. Did I make observations? Or am I just delivering some things to my friend at the bottom?

This really sounds like victim-blaming. The community is vulnerable to somebody publishing asinine modules, which should be addressed. However, this individual is still the perpetrator.

Why didn't the IT folks step in and provide the labor for the conversion? This helps them accomplish their goals. Tading desks love free labor. This shows a novel way in which cost centers can attribute their costs to lines of busin

People in general should not be seriously forced to consider that a coworker will murder them, regardless of the power imbalance in the workplace. This is totally out of line.
