  • It’s interesting you say that because jazz bars aren’t exactly a roaring success anymore. I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that jazz was considered counterculture, and people like that aspect of it. These days no one really cares about jazz and no one’s trying to ban it. And it’s interesting that now it’s less popular.

    Maybe it wasn’t actually ever good?








  • I still don’t accept the fundamental core point of the arguement which is that rust necessarily makes it impossible to commit certain errors. Rust has its rules as such as only programming language does but that doesn’t mean that mistakes are impossible.

    The vast majority of errors are logic errors not memory leaks in standard functions.


  • I’m completely confused by why they seem to think it’s impossible to have coding errors in rust. I’m also confused as to why they seem to think that errors are actually a problem. You get them you fix them. Who cares about what language you do it in.

    This stinks of somebody who’s been in the industry for about 2 years and now thinks they’re hot shit.






  • Trickle down is based on the mistaken assumption that rich people will spend all their money in the local community. When often they don’t spend their money at all and just save it, and when they do spend it it’s on expensive yachts in Monaco. They’re not contributing to the economy in which they live.

    The millionaire class were delighted when they saw this idiotic take and pushed its narrative knowing full well that it would be to their advantage.

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard it called a trickle up economics but yeah, it would work because most people have no choice but to spend locally. If I got some money from the government I would buy food in the local supermarket or get my house redecorated by a local tradesman.

    Various tests of UBI have shown that it doesn’t really increase laziness beyond the base level it was already at, after all it’s mostly the rich who are lazy anyway, as they’re the only ones who have the resources. All it really happens is people want more time off work because they can subsidise their income with UBI, but that is an expected and desired outcome as it means more people will be employed to cover the difference which gets more people in work and therefore paying taxes.




  • I’ve worked there for years now and I’m still unclear on the hierarchy. I think they’re both the same level of authority but I honestly could be wrong, the organisation is an absolute mess.

    You can tell when you work for a big multinational because it’s never clear who’s in charge. If you know what’s going on you’re not working for an important enough organisation.

    So to be clear I “report” to the manager that I actually like. What I’m supposed to be doing I have no idea about. Given that I’ve never actually got in trouble for withholding information I assume that the other guy isn’t my direct line manager. But it really is all up in the air.


  • One of my managers is like that, I’ve known him for about 5 years and he’s been the biggest idiot I’ve ever met the entire time. But ever since AI came out he’s turned it up to 11.

    Fortunately my other manager can’t stand him, and they have blazing arguments, so generally speaking if he tells me to do something I don’t like / want to do, I go and tattle tell.
