I now want a community led historical reenactment of loose tie wearing software devs in the 60s where they are just chain smoking and banging out COBOL or Fortran punch cards

Right. Given the option I will always choose to work with a decent programmer who can communicate well and documents their code, over a very strong programmer that doesn’t think they should waste time with documentation
I imagine if the legacy silicon hardware is straight from the factory the shape of the plastic doesn’t really matter too much
In all seriousness, afaik not unless they can replicate the wobble groove pressed into the discs, which is possible if they can press their own discs in bulk, but probably more expensive than it’s worth unless they are selling a ton of these
this post looks like some double plus ungood stuff to me
As long as “cleaner than you found it” also includes “better documented.” I’ve worked with people who think that “the code should speak for itself” to the point that they will make biased decisions with no explanation or documentation and then if you ask them about it after their response is “look at the PR for how that decision was made.” I’m not going to git blame and find your PR to find an outcome from an argument between two people that after scrolling just says “sometimes the API returns a JSON string here instead of nested JSON so we have this conditional” when that could be a comment
I mean, it depends on how pure your ketamine is
It’s generally become my opinion that unless I’m eating unsweetened muesli with a splash of milk pretty much every cereal except unsweetened cheerios is bad for me
It’s some techno-libertarian’s wet dream
It’s also really heavily about tribalism

Because people like to be part of a specific group and feel like the goals of said group are their goals, regardless of the reality of the thing
While I would hope that’s the case, I firmly believe the GOP / russia would have doubled down on the misinformation that was already all over the place, and the ignorant on facebook and other social media still would have eaten that shit up. I think in the voters that mattered Bernie would have made a much bigger impression, and the policies he worked to pass would have been much more beneficial, but I don’t think it would have been this magic situation where all the dumb people disappeared and the rich people stopped trying to get the dumb people to vote make them richer
Most large scale open source projects at this point are funded by somebody. usually because they have benefit to an enterprise somewhere. But I don’t know if an alternative browser really provides much enterprise support anywhere, sadly.
Probably the $500 million or so that Google pays them every year
Hey, it’s their fault for being in the path of that bullet traveling at 1200 feet per second. They had 0.0133 seconds to move out of the way. They made the decision to keep standing in a dangerous spot
(/s in case that wasn’t clear)
Based on my experience with Twitter, having joined the platform very early on in 2008, and since deleted my account 5 years ago or so, that’s exactly it now. 90% of posts on Twitter are by those looking for self validation rather than anything really constructive. The blue checkmarks don’t matter, the “community context” or whatever hasn’t lead to any change. It’s wild that the way to defeat Twitter, which is to get off Twitter, is something few are doing.
un-alived, you say?
Well maybe if Billy Batts woulda’ kept his mouth shut he wouldn’t be bleedin’ out in the trunk of the Cadillac
One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Lol why do all of these just say THROW AWAY, but the “DO NOT EAT” is in quotes
“Some of them are coming from one particular country,” he said. “We think that this is, you know, one more opportunity to mess with the United States. And they’re continuing to do that.”
It’s ok, you can say Russia
Edit: also, for those wondering what Russia has to gain from this, it’s basically Putin’s international playbook:
I mean, it’s a joke, but many of his ideas are also libertarian wet dreams
