It’s wild how the right to form a well-regulated militia includes leaving semiautomatic handguns where children can get them, but what can you do?

I think they are very much capitalist. And then surely the Civil War that poors fought on plantation owners’ behalf should also be blamed on capitalism?

That’s different, because of reasons. When someone dies within a communist system that is communism’s fault. When someone dies in a capitalist system, that’s their own fault for not tugging on those bootstraps.

Somehow I assume you don’t associate capitalism with chattel slavery and apartheid. But you do associate corrupt authoritarianism with economics when it is system that you don’t like.

I agree. A viable long-term economy needs an organized working class that isn’t sleepwalking through life. Would be cool to make the economic system not inherently hierarchical also.

Anecdotally I mostly hear that the cross-platform code doesn’t work so you end up needing to write platform specific implementations of everything anyway. But in Flutter. And it is harder to hire good talent for.

Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.

Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.

Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

Are these medical professionals doing these injections? I don’t understand how it isn’t a full-on crime to inject anyone.

I thought this was going to be about rare earth metals. Fucking graphite?

Why would you want a simulation version? You will get saved at “well rested.” It will be an infinite loop of put to work for several hours and then deleted. You won’t even experience that much, your consciousness is gone.

Seriously. I paid for the computer, it should not be constantly begging and nagging to subscribe to my own hardware. Sympathies to people unable to get out, but I was done a long time ago.

I think it’s still cheaper if they’re at retail prices. I’m sure Apple has a way to sell the exact same thing as a medical device instead and they’re tens of thousands for each.

I am more alienated by the processes surrounding everything. If I had to do idiotic agile sprint bullshit and also write mind-numbingly boring code I would lose my mind. Luckily I have gotten away with making improvements in architecture so it is at least an interesting problem on occasion.

It sounds like this author would feel better working on open source, a passion project, or a deep academic paper. I think I’d prefer that also. I wish it were easier to live while doing that.

I’d love this. Medium is such an irritating enshittification of the web. It used to be just a nice and crisp content host, so of course the nanosecond they have inertia with users they start walling shit off. I usually bounce if I get linked to it.

“but Google does!!!”

Meta, but yeah. It’s built for a company that is trying to continue ads and addictive behavior even on the millions of aging devices that have software versions from years ago. Large portions of it do not make sense for more typical companies.

LOL, “hey guys this thing hasn’t changed in years, so we need you to convert your simple API request into a big ol’ POST describing the entire model.”
